I consider a Sinfonia Concertante to be neither a symphony nor a concerto, much like a transexual is not male nor female exactly...

Is it symphony or concerto? Cantata or symphony? You get the drift.


Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

"Music can inspire love, religious ecstasy, cathartic release, social bonding, and a glimpse of another dimension. A sense that there is another time, another space and another, better universe."

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Rosenkavalier too.

Add any baroque opere serie of your choice as sung by your favorite castrati.

In Haydn's La Cantarina (The Diva) of 1766, the role of 'Don Ettore' is played by Barbara Dichtler, a mezzo who often played 'pants role's'. But in an odd twist, the role of the old woman, 'Appolonia' was played by her real life husband, Karl Dichtler, singing a very high tenor part. It was intended to amuse, and did, by all accounts. :)

Symphonies by Yoshimatsu sometimes sound like a synthesis between rock music and classical.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).
