What are you listening 2 now?

The way I learned it, special providence is God guiding matters on an individual basis, while general providence is God guiding matters on a more general species-wide or area-wide basis.

As a parallel with agriculture, special providence is taking care of each plant one-by-one--watering each one with a watering can, for instance--while general providence is merely taking care of the entire field at once--turning on the irrigation system.

Thanks, that makes more sense.

The Arden Hamlet, third series, glosses it as "Since no-one has any knowledge of the life he leaves behind him, what does it matter if he dies early."

There is some good textual apparatus in the Arden Hamlet second series -- as nearly everything else within this play, the text is problematic!

Somewhat complicated. I note particularly your words about the problematic text. And I didn't know that there are more different texts in existence. But even if the precise interpretation is uncertain I think the suggestions in the "Arden" make good sense.

The Arden wanted to publish three separate versions of the entire play, because the text is so problematic. However they dropped the idea for commercial reasons.

Oxford University published two versions of Lear for similar reasons - they called one a tragedy and the other a history - in Hamlet I don't think genres like that make much sense.

Byrd, William (1540-1623) - Keyboard Music - last few days, I've been re-listening to my Byrd collection and now on the keyboard works in the collections shown below; of course, Davitt Moroney's 7-CD box includes all of the recordings in the other collections (see quotes), but the instruments are different with Pienaar on piano.  Quite an output by Byrd as discussed HERE, i.e. nearly 500 compositions.  Dave

Yes, all the contents of Farr's My Ladye Nevells Booke are contained within Davitt Moroney's 7-CD set of William Byrd's complete keyboard music. The 7-CD set is a comprehensive collection of all 127 individual pieces of Byrd's keyboard music, of which My Ladye Nevells Booke comprises 42 pieces. 

Yes, the contents of Daniel-Ben Pienaar's 2-CD set, titled Byrd: Pavans & Galliards, Variations & Grounds, are entirely contained within the comprehensive 7-CD set of William Byrd: The Complete Keyboard Music by Davitt Moroney.

In my journey through Crossland's WTC Book I set, I've reached the A-flat major and G-sharp minor. The G-sharp minor fugue is a particular favorite and it is beautifully performed here.



In my Beethoven Piano Sonata traversal with Annie Fischer I've reached No 21, the Wallenstein. I was expecting to be a bit unenthusiastic returning to Beethoven's middle "Heroic Sonatas" but this performance won me over. Particularly the famously difficult passages in the finale, where Fischer simply seems to have three arms. My custom would be to follow up listening to Badura-Skoda on fortepiano, but I find myself anxious that he will make a hash of it. I find myself regretting that I won't ever find time to properly listen to all of the Beethoven Piano Sonata cycles I own (from my CD buying period) let alone those available to stream. Pollini, Lewis, Hewitt, Bavouzet, Kempff, Pommier, Guy...

Special and general are human concepts and categories. God operates beyond them. Just saying.

Britten: Cello Sonata in C major

As with many works of his, this piece has a special touch of inventiveness that makes it quite attractive. The players' affinity for this music is evident.

Beyond them and within them and through them. Christianity expresses the within/through part via the Incarnation.
