Where do you live and what does it look like?

Are you a trianglophile or a circlophile? 

Please do post some pictures of the harem you live in, that should be quite interesting.

As for that joke, I only know the therapist version and I thought that the basis was that apparently several decades ago Rorschach blots were actually used in some psychotherapy (and it was also the time when therapy was always about sex).

Fifth Meeting House of the First Congregational Church in Woburn (presently in use by some other cultural organization, not sure just which), dedicated 31 Dec 1840.  I know: heckuva way to spend New Year's Eve . . . that's 19^th-c. New England for you.

The sky is always blue, and the champagne glasses always filled. Yes, perfection

Some pictures I've taken lately on a walkabout. The first two are from the house where György Ligeti spend most of his time in the years 1973 to 2002 and the second two are from the house where Alfred Schnittke lived between 1992 and 1998.

Very cool, chadfeldheimer. Nice photos.

Thanks - motif-wise they might not be spectacular, but I love the history connected to those places. I'm wondering which masterpieces were written in those buildings.

Where? Please tell.

[chadfeldheimer]

Where? Please tell.

It's here in Hamburg, in the adjacent quaters Eppendorf and Winterhude. Schnittke and Ligeti lived only 15 minutes per feet away from each other.

I've been to Hamburg on a couple of occasions, but wasn't aware of that. Interesting, thanks.

Schnittke is sort of revered in Hamburg...his bust can be seen in a small foyer of the Laieszhalle (along with Mahler's and Tchaikovsky's). The main foyer/bar is presided by a sort of monument to Brahms (surrounded Joseph Joachim, Hans von Bülow, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and Schumann).

Must add Hamburg to my list of destinations to visit. I wonder if the general public are allowed to go inside where Schnittke and Ligeti lived? That would be so cool.

Incidentally in 1992 there even moved another great contemporary composer to Hamburg or a suburb of Hamburg: Sofia Gubaidulina still lives here. Have no photos of her home though. Guess that would be on the border to "stalking".

Right - and to my pleasure his pieces are performed quite frequently there.

I'm afraid that is not possible. The appartments are probably sold/rent to successors.
