A very safe commute indeed thank you!

Snow....not so much;-}

Not at 68 degree!:) We are in the low 70’s this week which is heavenly to me.

[Publius]

Yep. Been to Olympia many times, to include testifying before both the House and Senate Transportation Committees.

[luvie]

I did, too, but probably forgot them 5 minutes later. I’m not a good “memorizer”. LOL!

I remember some of them from visiting them. :)

[henkster]

Then I missed Maine. Never been to Maine.

SEATTLE CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY

WINTER FESTIVAL

JANUARY 24 THRU FEBRUARY 2

Antonin Dvorak wrote the occasional piece for his friends, and one of these is scheduled for Sunday afternoon. The Terzetto for 2 Violins and Viola in C, Op. 74, was written for two friends of Tony who played violin. Tony’s personal favorite instrument was the viola. But when the three men sat down to try it out, the violin parts were a bit on the hard side. After making the parts a little easier, the piece was played successfully by the three old friends. It’s charming, full of Czech melodies, and an enjoyable piece for the opening of a concert.

This video is from the Fourth International Chamber Music Festival in Baignes, France.

I went in this morning, of course! :)

The traffic was light and I made it in at 7:00. The ride home was dramatically different. Our building closed at 2:00 p.m. I exited the parking garage and turned left onto 21st St. - a sloppy mess. When the light turned green I turned onto Pennsylvania Ave. and my tires would not grip the road notwithstanding my gentle touch with the gas pedal.

I made it onto Rock Creek Parkway and wended my way up through the park. The speed limit there is 35 - I was moving at about 15, being tailgated and passed - some people have no brains.

I exited the park onto 16th Street and saw an SUV on the right that had crashed into a light-post. I drove up 16th St., a straight shot, and was again tailgated and passed by a number of people. During my entire drive through N.W. DC, I did not see a snow-plow.

As I Entered Maryland, the roads improved. I was several miles up the road - outside the Beltway - before I saw a snow plow. As I drove north on rt. 29, I saw an SUV overturned on the southbound side and a couple of County Cops dealing with it. After I made it up the next hill, the roads substantially improved and I was able to make the remainder of the trip home, including stopping for gas, vino, and my son David. A two hour journey.

Good evening, yarddog...17 isn’t too bad. A bit of studying and you’ll get them all. d:o)

You can take it again and see if any don’t feel right, change your answers and see if you get more.

WINTER FESTIVAL

JANUARY 24 THRU FEBRUARY 2

In 1882, Johannes Brahms turned 49, and he turned to the trio for piano, violin and cello for the first time in 28 years. His first early trio ran almost an hour, but this work of his maturity, the Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano in C, Op. 87, comes in at a svelte 28 minutes. It’s one of his great achievements and will wrap up Sunday’s concert. It’s a happy piece.

The first movement, an allegro in sonata format starts with everyone playing in unison, and the second subject in G leads into a dark development section that contrasts with the sunny exposition. He ends it majestically.

The second movement in A minor, marked andante con moto, is a set of variations on a theme with a gypsy flavor. The piano line in the first variation is bleak.

The scherzo in C minor, marked presto, is tense but humorous. It’s the middle portion of the scherzo where magic happens. Brahms writes a C Major waltz, and oh, what a waltz! Clara Schumann disapproved of Jo putting a popular form in a serious piece, but this is one case where her judgment failed her. It’s a miracle, and you don’t want it to end! Like a pro, he leaves you begging for more as the C minor opening returns da capo.

The finale, in sonata format but sounding a lot like a rondo, is marked allegro giocoso, and it’s a carnival set to music. Brahms puts aside modes like major and minor to flirt with archaic modes like Lydian and Phrygian, but he does it so well you don’t sense the harmonies are a bit off.

This video is from Sonoma State University in California last summer. These students put on a professional quality performance.
