Recalling Piano Sonata No 2 In B Flat Minor

We were still free to dream, however, a tax on any imaginative writing that contravened the rules or regulations for literary acceptability or worse were deemed counter-revolutionary. In Poland, the last of the hold-outs wrote odes to Chopin but essentially all was well ordered and compliant to the powers that be. Now that Chinese is a compulsory language for third graders many have become re-programmers for the old and recalcitrant, but like all wrong-headed reactionaries the old dwindle only to fade away in disgrace. All the false history books have gone out of print. Now we study the history of our brave new world. It is always sunny here in our equally allotted cubicles. Any misinformed die-hards that wander the streets begging us to return to the old ways are quickly rounded up and sent to our happy and well attended correction schools. Chopin has now been put on a no-fly list, but few have heard of his dangerous sonata or think of it at all anyway.
