The tiny trouble with constant fascination with fairly obscure works is that, well, they’re fairly obscure. Finally, after many loops, I finally have a copy of Joaquin Rodrigo’s Sonata Pimpante in my hands (to share…thank you, fantastic library ordering system.)
Then, it was a quest to find out what “pimpante” meant. Since Rodrigo is Valencian, I figured it would be Spanish, but all the online translations returned the original word, and my Spanish-speaking friends just made jokes so thank heavenly bodies for Google. “Pimpante” is Italian.
Lively.
The lively sonata.

+ [Melody] – Nobuchika Eri
- I don’t know what she’s saying but the song is heartbreakingly pretty fluff.
+ [Me Muero] – Utada Hikaru
- Critics like her latest English album a lot more then the previous one and this track is particularly well done, but I still stand by my opinion that her first major English release was brilliant in its own right.
+ [Falling Away with You] – Muse
+ [River] – Tatsuya Ishii
- This is exactly the song you want someone to sing when it feels like nothing else in the world can go wrong.
