The Lute.

Personally I am ambivalent toward lutes and lute music in general not withstanding Nigel North's great talent, while the lute in its various forms is to my mind the most 'orrible looking musical instrument ever invented :)

My new favorite performance of this study. Very fast, but at the service of bringing out the tune in the left hand octaves. Plenty of variation in the dynamics and articulation. Beautiful handling of my favorite bit, bar 42 to 45, where the arpeggios down and up within a bar. Totally magical!

The mighty handful was a group of five prominent 19th-century Russian composers who worked together to create a distinct national style of classical music source. They were
Balakirev (best remembered for Islamey), three still prominent: Mussorgsky,Borodin, and Rimsky-Korsakov. And the fifth one, no-one remembers: César Cui. I don't think that I've ever heard his music until today.

I enjoyed this flowing, lilting waltz and have found the score on IMSLP. I might have a go at playing it myself.

Perhaps Cui is neglected because, as an engineering professor and military general, as well as being a composer, he is just too bad-ass for the small men of today to admit that he even existed.

These guys were geniuses. I looked forward to the Muppet Show every Sunday night as a kid in the early 80s. Hope you all have a great weekend. :)

1971 recording. Beautiful tone. A little slow. I would love to learn to play these three pieces myself. So Radu Lupu's performance is reassuring: there is no need to rush, despite Brahms writing No 2 using lots of demi-semi-quavers. The technical challenge of No 1 is that the right hand has to play the tune with the middle fingers while playing accompanying octaves with the thumb and little finger. Radu Lupu is inspiring to me; not only is this is really possible, he shows that it is very easy :-)

I think that the credit to Paul McNulty is for building a copy of a 1795 Walter Fortepiano, rather than doing a restoration. Jerassimos Coidan Takes advantage of the light action to give an exciting fast performance. The instrument has a sharp attack and quick decay. The Alberti bass throbs. The semiquavers rocket skywards. The passages, where repeated quavers get hammered, work. The crazy rhythms at the end are clear.

Did Beethoven write to take advantage of the sharp attack and quick decay? Did Beethoven write to mitigate the disadvantages of the sharp attack and quick decay?

It has been some months (years? LIES!) since I posted this. I absolutely love this song. Cheers!

Do you have a favorite overture? Or if not, which ones are especially fond of? (Classical_Music)

As I was driving home today, I started thinking about overtures I've always liked. Von Suppe's "Poet and Peasant" and "Light Cavalry" overtures are fun, and it's easy to make comparisons between them and "William Tell". I started a mental tabulation in my head, and when I got home I did a search to remind me of the many, many others I listened over the years. "La Gazza Ladra", "The Marriage of Figaro", and "Die Meistersinger" rank high on my list of favorites -- although I don't actually have *A* favorite.

If you have Broadway or movie overtures that you like, please name them. I especially the overture and fugue for tinhorns in "Guys and Dolls".

I don't use Spotify, but I thought the list in this link might spur some memories as it did with me.
