Handel, Flatt'ring tongue, no more I hear thee! from Esther, a very fine and sadly obscure work.

That wonderful 'dance' that Bach breaks into during the fugal section in the overture of BWV 831 - the 'Overture in the French Style'. I heard Scott Ross' recording of the piece last evening, then during the morning commute today, and I won't be surprised if I play the whole piece again on my way home. 0:)

Bach Partita #2.

Opening of Mahler 9

But the one that got in my head the longest and I could not get it out was "It's a Small World" after I went to Disneyland. It stayed there for about 2 years and every time I see Mockey Mouse or a doll I had the urge to strangle it!
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

The presto finale from a keyboard sonata in E flat by Haydn, can't be more specific.


Right, looked it up. It's #62 Hob XVI:52, and it's still going!

I wasn't able to include an excerpt when I made my earlier post, so here it is now. To provide context, the video is cued at the beginning of the fugue, while the part I'm referring to starts at the three-minute mark and flows along for another twenty seconds, although the music further down the line grows out of this. And add a lovely sounding harpsichord to that.

The good Thomaskantor has been chased by what the kids these days call "rock and roll", A Trick of the Tail by Genesis, from their eponymous long playing album. Gracious me!

Not a tune this morning, but the sound of the organ in Kuijken's recording of BWV 35, Geist und Seele wird verwirret. Still wiggling away in here.  :)

Mahler Symphony No.9

Which movement? Whenever the finale comes into my mind, I instantly become far more quiet, solemn and depressed.... The most powerfully beautiful music ever written!

3rd and 4th movements :)

Sure......leaving out both Wagner and Beethoven, I totally agree with you, that music is incredibly passionate and powerful, it deeply touches my heart with its great beauty!

Where does the past come from?

Right now, I hear 2 songs spinning alternately and I can't get them out of my head!

The first record I ever owned: Mashmakan's As Years Go By
From one of the first LPs I ever owned (Live): April Wine's Druthers

I think Jerry Mercer was the drummer in both those bands.

Christ, that was a long time ago!

I often have the ending to the 3rd movement on my mind. :) Now you mention it, I have it on my mind now! But now I am thinking of the finale and getting shivers.... too beautiful.
