Listening/Purchasing Plan

Don what do you mean by viola and paino counterpart?  In my original post I stated that I  already have the viola and piano sonatas. Please explain??

Marvin,

Don just meant that the Clarinet Sonatas and the Viola Sonatas are the exact same works.  Some people enjoy both, while others prefer the clarinet or viola.

Harry just curious, are you an active listener or a more passive one? because i find that the best music & art, almost anything really.. often does not fully reveal itself so easily on first (or casual) encounters...

Just like everyone else here, he is on GMG while listening.

  Thanks for clarifying this up!  After careful examination I see that they are identical in terms of the key they are written in, they even carry the same Opus No. 120  .....hmmm....not really sure what's going on here  ??

He did them for both instruments.

I think I will tighten my focus even further...

Liar!

Some very nice posts here. Thank you for participating.

I think I will tighten my focus even further, for now, and keep my eye out for inexpensive, unexplored chamber music by Romantic composers. And do more listening and less hoarding, if I'm capable. I might have to use my zen powers for that.

Liar!

  It's a slippery slope....a very slippery slope, a frictionless surface unlike anything you'll come across in any dynamics class!  I tried everything, focusing on core repertoire composers, then only on opera composers, then only on major works of each composer, I even promised myself that I would stop purchasing and exploring new music after I have accumulated 500 CDs......all to no avail  .  If anything I discovered that the more I bought and explored the more I enjoyed the discovery of new music.

Yeah, maybe I'll just see how much I can hear before I kick the proverbial bucket.

Marvin it's not that complicated, simply buy fewer cds that is all.
