Anybody Like Classical Music?

You have to be nasty good to sing Puccini. Can she keep her voice after puberty.

Same Étude Op. 25, No. 11 by Chopin as above but full blown

An étude is an instrumental musical composition
designed to provide practice material for perfecting a particular musical skill


I am naive, but I find it a practice piece for only the most accomplished yet stunning in its composition

Oui Oui time again.

Playing perhaps the most difficult piano piece: Franz Liszt's Mephisto Waltz. She's been playing mostly Mozart lately, this is a complete surprise. She lets the opening bars fade away, a novel concept. She's opening for Brett and Eddy the TwoSet Violins, she's been their piano accompanist for most of their tours. Yuja Wang hasn't recorded Mephisto yet.

Funeral March

 
 
Beethoven broke down musical convention from his 2nd Symphony onward. Joseph Haydn, one of his teachers, considered him too radical for his own good. He threw the minuet in the garbage and replaced it with the scherzo. To fit the scale of his 9th, Ludwig Van wrote his most monstrous scherzo ever.

 
Was this ultimate power trio the inspiration for Rush?

Frank Zappa - Guitar
Jack Bruce - Bass
Jim Gordon - Drums (Derek and the Dominoes)

 
you have not heard music until you have heard it on psychedelics it is like you are composing it in your head

Koerner Hall is a wonderful place to take in a recital, perfect acoustics. Parking is horrible, take the subway to Bloor it's a short walk from there.

Don't have much experience with psychedelics. When they gave me Delaudid this was playing in my head...no headphones.
