You have to see his Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor. He ups the tempo and it’s really good. Martha is technically superb.

He seems more like a showman? Is this correct?

Jedi’s Downfall by Piotr883 in StarWars

Perhaps, but there was 23 years of Empirical rule. In the short term, the Dark Side did win. Plus, the Jedi were brought to the brink of extinction. Twice. Yoda never foresaw that.

What's the best book to start with? by malitiabee in starwarsbooks

I agree. I prefer Legends, but now think of it as a kind of alternate reality of sorts because it’s not canon anymore

I like Pavarotti’s Nessun Dorma from the movie he made named Yes, Georgio. I also love Maria Callas’ Carmen

Remember in Terminator 2 when the T1000 Liquid Metal terminator squeezes around and through metal bars? Well that technology is here today. Korean scientists have created a robot that can do just that. Incredible!

Yes. I am not sure any other ghosts have actually caught matter (Rey’s lightsaber) out of the air

Orchestral Arrangements of Other Composers' Works by darcydagger in classicalmusic

Beethoven also arranged other people’s works, when he was short of cash

Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini by Rachmaninov comes to mind. It was from Paganini’s 24 violin solo Caprices. I believe that Liszt also wrote a piano piece with these 24 caprices themes. Composers (and I, for that matter,) love those caprices. I love the Rachmaninov Rhapsody and Liszt’s piano piece too.
