Evening Colonel_Flagg

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Publius, and thanks for Rachmaninov’s The Star Spangled Banner.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Hello, Beachy! How are you?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[beachn4fun]

I’m good. How’ve you been?

[Publius]

Camille Saint-Saens wrote a number of fine sonatas. This four-movement piece is one of his great crowd pleasers. The finale is a killer piece of music. I’ve seen violinist Scott Yoo play this a number of times at the Festival, and he’s done it so often he doesn’t use a score anymore. This recording is a classic from the Fifties, featuring Jascha Heifitz.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

[beachn4fun]

Gong to try to cool off so I can sleep.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
I'll see you all on Monday.

[Colonel_Flagg]

As Steven Wright once said, “My goal is to live forever. So far, so good.”

YIKES! Thankfully we don’t have the humidity.

I’m headed home...this snail pace internet is driving me crazy.

[Publius]

Camille Saint-Saens, in the last year of his life, wrote sonatas for various woodwind instruments accompanied by piano. World War I had ended, millions had been slaughtered, music had been taken over by “barbarians”, and the proud tower of European civilization had crumbled. But you wouldn’t know it from his music. Camille was in total denial about what had happened, as was his German counterpart Max Bruch. War? What war?

This sonata for clarinet is one of the gems of the literature. There is an autumnal feeling to the first and third movements that is Camille’s only concession to the Great War and its aftermath.

Saint-Saens: Sonata for Clarinet and Piano in E-flat, Op. 167

Good evening, Kathy! *HUGS*

Heifetz was AMAZING.

Just WOW!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Maestro!

I am totally found out after your excoriation last night of the 4th Movement of the "Organ" Symphony! I agree intellectually with your critique of that movement, but I have to admit that I have delighted in it for many years. I have always recognized that it is a flawed work, and I have wondered what Ludwig would have done with that material.

I daresay he would have gotten it right.

But for all of its faults, I still get goosebumps during the initial exposition of the theme in that movement.

And on another note, my children were exposed to classical music through it. When they were much younger, they would shriek "PIG!!" every time they heard it.

Thanks very much for your work on Saint-Saens.



"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

[Publius]

I’ve seen Scott Yoo and Joshua Bell do this sonata, and they are in the same league.

I remember hot sunny days at Fenway Park watching the Red Sox.

Back-in-the-day, when Us Peasants could actually afford to go there.

[Publius]

Ludwig would have understood that the theme was too short for either sonata development or counterpoint, be it canon or fugue. He would have lengthened it, reshaped it and come up with a countersubject.

[left that other site]

Oh yes. I agree.
