but I’ve almost lost all faith in my classmates’ knowledge of classical music.

Kata and I ran a listening test at the end of our presentation on Debussy. there were 10 pieces, and all you had to do was indicate: a) whether it was by Debussy or not, and b) the name of the composer and/or the piece if you recognized it.

I figured the average score on the test to be about 8 or 9; I do admit that the last question is impossible for the average listener, but at least 3 of the pieces are very well known. like, Clair de lune well known. ;D

but seriously, of our class of about 30 people? only about 4 people scored in that range or higher. *sigh*

…and now? off to study science. and review my french notes. ta for now!
