HIP for all and all for HIP! Harpsichord for Bach, fortepiano for Beethoven and pianoforte for Brahms!

Goodmorning to all! :)

Today the carpenters will rebuild part of the office, at home, so the stereo is off line, and that means I am not able to play a single disc today, and that pisses me off. A music free day, and I do not like that. :P :P :P

I don't think Harry will be consoled by great poetry, Florestan, the poor man...

Morning, all!

Maybe not, but he can always play anything he wants in his head. Right now I'm playing the Scherzo of Schumann's Fourth Symphony. :)

Nice choice, sir! And I bet it will be "sweeter" than any Harasziewicz.  :D

For my 1000th posting:

Havergal Brian - Lacryma, a purely orchestral piece from his first opera 'The Tigers' (Leopold Hager/Luxembourg Radio Symphony Orchestra)
Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything. -- Plato

Christo

... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

Congratulations!

Have you been lying in wait all night?!!  ;D

Listening to:

Dyson, Symphony in G Major (Lloyd-Jones/Naxos)

A beautiful work from 1937. It  has a character all of its own, especially in its rhythmic vitality.

You just found out that Britney Spears is a singer (and I use the word loosely)? You've been off-planet the last nine years, haven't you  ;D

P.S.  I agree, it's a damn fine tune actually.

"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
