 A supergroup is a music group whose members are already successful as solo artists or as part of other groups or well known in other professions. Usually used in the context of rock and pop music, the term has been applied to other musical genres such as The Three Tenors in opera.

The term is sometimes applied retrospectively when several members from a group later achieve notable success in their own right. Supergroups are sometimes formed as side projects and thus not intended to be permanent, while other times can become the primary project of the members' careers. Charity supergroups, where prominent musicians perform or record together in support of a particular cause have been common since the 1980s.

Captain Kathy! Good to have you here. I guess I can surrender the con to you and resume my usual duties as Exec. Commander Luvvie Sue is out of town but will be posting as she can this weekend. Lieutenant Commander Drumbo may be with his son. I guess I can start my classical music stuff early so the folks can waller in the music.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

THE CHAMBER MUSIC OF LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN

Trio for Piano, Violin & Cello in G, Op. 1/2, First Movement

It’s a Friday morning in August 1795. At the home of Prince Lichnowsky in Vienna, 24 year old Lou Beethoven presides over the first performance of his three trios for piano, violin and cello, Opus 1. Papa Joe Haydn, freshly returned from his London triumph, is in attendance, dressed in the old style with wig and knee breeches. Lou is dressed in the informal French revolutionary style, which makes him look a bit rakish. His hair is permed, which gives him a faintly African appearance.

This concert for Vienna’s music aficionados and nobility will net Lou 123 very pricey subscriptions to his Opus 1, published by the prestigious firm of Artaria, which will translate to about 800 florins, roughly a year’s income in the Vienna of that period.

Papa Joe loves the first trio in E-flat, which I presented last Saturday. Now it’s time for the second trio.

The first movement begins with an “adagio” (“at rest”) introduction, where the violin states a slower version of the first subject to come. This is sensible music in the tradition of Haydn and Mozart.

At 2:20, the first subject begins “allegro vivace” (“quick and lively”).

At 3:30, the second subject appears in D Major.

At 4:37, development begins. Here Beethoven uses the technique of “padding”, which is what you do when you don’t have enough musical material to cover the expected size of the movement. In his later years, Lou would rarely do this, but in his early years he used it as needed.

At 6:05, we recap. After some more padding, at 7:11 he recaps the second subject in the correct key of G Major.

At 8:33, he pads a bit for a fairly long coda.

No worries. You're doing an excellent job.

And if it starts to get to be a little too much, stop. Have fun, for tis the weekend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And a gold star for doing such a good job as exec!

I will try to post some tunes later. We are learning how to use the electric wheelchair.
Mom has been alone all day, but had a smile in her voice each time I called. It's been awhile.

[Publius]

Oh garsh and shucks. You're making me blush.

(BLUSH BLUSH)

[Kathy in Alaska]

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

[Publius]

Simple and dignified. It was Sergei's response to Josef Hoffmann's version which was bombastic to the extreme. In the Hoffmann version you can actually hear the bombs bursting in midair.

Sergei may have worn his heart on his sleeve in musical terms, but after the disaster of his First Symphony, he learned his lesson and stayed away from bombast.

Three weeks before his death from cancer in 1943, he officially became an American citizen. He wanted to give the finger to Stalin one last time before he died.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thank you very much, Maestro!

Good to be back - I have been discomfited the last several days - all is well now.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good job, Sergei!

John Wetton is one of the most underrated artists out there.

God walks with us

[Publius]

Good to see you back.

I posted a lot of Chausson, Grieg, Schumann and Schubert last night, part of my mission to expose FReepers to lieder.

Tonight it's the rest of Beethoven's Opus 1.

[Publius]

Thanks to an accident of history, he is buried a short distance from Ayn Rand, who spent her entire life giving the finger to Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin. They were two Russian emigrants who made good in America and had no sense of guilt about it. Oddly enough, they never met.

[ConorMacNessa]

I have a lot of posts to catch up with. You post uniformly great pieces - as to the Beethoven Trio - it is superb - there is no mistaking his work - many copy but none can match his genius!

Beethoven planned his career the way that Patton and our greatest generals planned their invasion of Europe. Haydn called him the Big Shot behind his back, but in the long run, it was Beethoven who had the last laugh.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi ladies, I am out of town tonight! LOL
