So I’m doing a Spanish project [insert obligatory mumbling about how evil the IB program is here…]. I need to do an oral presentation, then an interview based on my presentation, on a topic of my choosing. Being the geek that I am, I chose the music of Vivaldi. Lots of SPanish-speakers are fans of him, apparently (my sources need to be in Spanish, of course…), finding information isn’t a problem.
So I’m here: http://www.canalsocial.com/biografia/musica/vivaldi.htm . Great, a nice long article with lots of dates (which I need - actually, I also need a date as in a guy to go to Jr. prom with, but I can’t find that there. I’m not into those types of sites). I print it out, and I’m reading, reading, reading, handy dictionary nearby, and I come to this:
Translates to: “…and we must add that Forkel was only familiar with some of Vivaldi’s works”. However, this is the first time in the article that this Forkel folk is mentioned. 
After the obligatory giggle and chanting of “Forkel forkel forkel”, because I got about four hours of sleep last night and Forkel sounds really funny, I translate the page, to see if I’m missing something. And oh, how a Google Translation brightens my day!
Now this, ladies and gentleman, this is some pure, hardcore, Forkeling.
Forkel’s gonna be my new word. Instead of something being cool or trippy, it’s gonna be Forkel. But I love that “The germanic musical world totally gets to be conscious from the greatness of Bach…” I mean, totally!
But seriously, Forkels, I’m hard at work. I am. Really.
Forkels for all! Who wants to join a Forkel club? We can have, like, forkel parties! And totally get to be conscious of the greatness of Bach! No Vivaldi, though, because Forkel didn’t know all about Vivaldi. And Forkel is forkel.
