Calming musical interlude for spicy markets, from Big Al

I first heard this piece as a teenager, sitting in the theater
watching Barry Lyndon, and I was transfixed:

I did not know this Mendelssohn work until today and I wondered if
somebody said to her, "Oh yeah? Well, try it in heels!"

Gotta love Chopin for the workday playlist.

I heard Yuja play Op 67 No 2 in the Lincoln center at my first show I’ve attended there. I did not know much of the other amazing music she played but the minute she played this I was blown away. I still think of that song and I still can’t believe I got to see it live!
