A re-post, but really nice to start a Sunday morning.
Sun's shining, snow is melting, got my espresso, trying to figure out breakfast (oatmeal w/ginger & maple syrup or avocado/emmental/egg/tomato sandwich)... blah blah blah

I love it, Gary! I should add that whenever I see anything by P.D.Q. Bach, I think of one concert we (Fresno Choral Artists) did in about 2002. We performed "My Bonnie Lass She Smileth," followed by P.D.Q. Bach's "My Bonnie Lass She Smelleth." The end of the latter piece has the direction "Bass soloist improvise interminably." For reasons I still don't know, the director assigned that improvisation to me. 13 years later, my daughters still tease me about it, but at least I ended on the correct note.

So, I'm curious whether anybody actually clicks on these vids given the wretchedness of the
system they are probably hearing them on. I strongly suspect the system in my pimp truck
on which I heard the inimitable Alfred Brendel do Mozart's 15th as I drove through Las Vegas
the other day far surpasses most computer speakers, and the irony was rich, also.

Hi, Anita. Hope you're fully recovered from that surgery.
...but at least I ended on the correct note.
John, the tonic, it's all that really matters, no? We all like to go home. I saw sheet music for the Notebook for Betty Sue Bach, might be worth the purchase.
Reilly,
I click. This is the only ST thread I can really stand nowadays. It used to be fun to good-naturedly stir the pot, but alas...
Been listening to these quartets lately.

I still remember hearing these recordings, in awe, on my grandmother's ancient (even then) turntable sometime in the early 80's. And now that I've discovered my ears can't pick up anything above 12kHz the fancy speakers I own are kinda useless

I think this discussion of sound quality calls for posting the world's worst sound quality recording (and very old school). Can you even recognize the piece?

Brahms' use of rubato is just horrible. Don't get me started on his phrasing, why the melody is just buried!
At least it will sound good in Reilly's truck.

John, very nice. The Lutoslawski especially. Piano seems to be in your family genes.
Me, I'm studying Diabelli. These sonatinas are fun to play. A real hoot.

Thanks, Gary. I'd like to claim more genetic commonality with Nairi, but her grandmother (who is not related to me) was a piano teacher. We do have a lot of classical musicians in the family, though, mostly proving through their earnings why we call the opposite of classical music popular music.

Well, Reilly has gotten me going on a Mass kick. Been listening to quite a few lately. This one's not bad at all.
