While not strictly classical, many would argue that jazz is a genre of serious and art music. GMG will trial this board for discussion of all things jazz. If well-used, it will stay. If it withers, it may die. Happy to take comments. Mods, feel free to move relevant posts to this board.

Cheers

Beethoven's Op. 133 -- A fugue so bad that even Beethoven himself called it "Grosse".

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz
