Our thanks to the Canteen DJ's for all their hard work in posting the music to today's thread.
Saturday morning coffee bump.
Unfortunately, for our Indians we lost to Velma-Alma 32-6. Hopefully we'll have much better luck with Marlow next week.
I thought Lynn-Dah was about 3-5 years old when I got her, but in the last year she has shown signs of being 5-8. I do know from her body shape (and other features)that she has nursed at least one litter of pups. She was found wandering the streets in Clayton County GA,and lived in a few foster homes and shelters before we found each other.
She has been “Clean and Tick-less) now for two weeks! I am so proud of her and me. It was a vicious battle, but we WON!
LOL! Funny! Good rockin’/sockin’, LV! :)
Good to see you pop in for a moment...prayers for continued healing until you are completely well! (((hugs)))
Great theme for your thread! Beautiful tunes for September.
Some how it resonates better than October. :) I never remember
seeing romantic tunes for THAT month! LOL!

The first movement is in A-flat, 3/8 time and is marked andante con variazioni, a walking pace with variations. The theme is simple and stately.
At 1:53, Variation #1 breaks the theme into fragments where he plays around the theme, rather than on it, in the right hand.
At 3:15, Variation #2 uses a technique favored decades later by Schumann, where the theme is broken up in staggered 16th notes with the theme in the left hand. It has a breathless quality.
At 4:14, Variation #3 is the obligatory trip to the minor mode, where he switches to A-flat minor (7 flats!). The staggered 8th notes have a funereal air in a flash-forward to the slow movement.
At 5:49, Variation #4 plays its way around the theme in the right hand.
At 6:40, Variation #5 breaks the theme into triplets and then quadruplets as he works it between hands. He keeps the sweetness and simplicity in the theme as he wraps it up very quietly.
Having placed a rather slow movement in first position, Lou speeds it up with an allegro molto, “very fast”, scherzo that oscillates between F minor and A-flat Major.
At 9:57, his “trio” switches to D-flat and calms down with a gently rocking motion.
He repeats the opening without repetitions.
Now comes the emotional heart of the sonata, the “Funeral March for the Death of a Hero”, in 4/4 time. In many ways this is a warmup for the slow movement of his Third Symphony which came a decade later. There is no speed indication so the pianist has to pick his own funereal pace. It’s in A-flat minor, 7 flats, and that causes a lot of worry among beginners who tackle this.
At 13:37, he turns to the major (only 4 flats) for a drum rolling effect on the piano.
At 14:34, he reprises the opening and closes the crypt door quietly.
The finale is marked simply allegro in A-flat and 2/4 time, but the 16th notes move like quicksilver. This movement is in ternary format and finishes quietly..
This video is of one of my favorite Russian pianists, Emil Gilels, in a live performance.
Dudess! Hey! Watch it! Do NOT say anything bad about October! ;-)
(((( HUGS ))))
Thanks! I’ll spring that on M0sby tonight!
“What time is it dearheart?”
LOL
Do you want Central Daylight Savings Time or Central Standard Time?
I will have to refer to my notes to see which wrist I have to see! ;-)
