@davscomur 🤦🏻‍♀️ Doh!
He’s gotta be the only X. Although I may have blocked out that letter entirely because of birdsite drama. Yeah, that’s it…

Pleiades sounded vaguely familiar just now, but I can’t place why or where I would’ve heard it. What a life, tho…!

@magdelenehall @classicalmusic. I don’t swoon over many pieces 200 years outside my usual Baroque happy place (with some very contemporary exceptions). But sure, go ahead and lure me out with the piano accompaniments so beautifully done on these sumptuous cello sonatas!

The best time of the year is less than a month away — when worlds collide, as hockey season and symphony season start up. Helmet hair is always stylish.
Here, have one of my fav Haydn piano trio movements to celebrate, performed by the van Swieten Trio.

@franciscawrites @bookstodon My two fav Far Side ‘toons:

Gary Larson cartoons cave person standing in front of audience of other cave people. Pointing to picture of dinosaur tail with spikes at the top. Caption: "Now, this end is called the thagomizer. after the late Thag Simmons."

@tagnachtlampe @franciscawrites @bookstodon Isn’t that awesome?! It’s one of the reasons it’s my fav — anytime a ‘toon can infiltrate the lexicon is a good one. I didn’t know about the extension to math with the ‘thagomizer graph’. Gotta love it.

I Would Like to Describe
by ZBIGNIEW HERBERT

[…]

we fall asleep
with one hand under our head
and with the other in a mound of planets

our feet abandon us
and taste the earth
with their tiny roots
which next morning
we tear out painfully

Russian Baroque chamber 🎵 to read by: Vasily Titov (1650-1692)

A Ukrainian Baroque composer for balance: Dmitry Bortniansky (1751-1825), a prolific composer of operas, chamber works, symphonies. ••He performed the première Beethoven’s Missa solemnis••

Berlioz heard: “…an entanglement of voice parts that seemed impossible: vague murmurs as one sometimes hears in dreams and attacks that, in their intensity, resembled outbursts, seizing the heart all of the sudden.”

@lebelge @classicalmusic I need to pay more attention to Italian baroque—was not familiar with Cherubini, and now I’m going to end up staying up way too late listening and putting it on repeat!

@magdelenehall @classicalmusic This is swoon-worthy. Scott Ross was incredible — as a human and as a musician.
