What are you listening to now?

[Sorrano]

copy catting, sorrano :-) ?

What can I say? You have good taste and I have a lot of curiosity.

Do you know Vivaldi's Concerto per multi stromenti per il Orchestra di Dresda in g RV577 (or P.383)?
Composed with the same orchestra in mind - and showing that Heinichen was able to create his own style, different from what Vivaldi, JSBach, Handel or Telemann had to offer, to name but the Germanic composers here.

I am probably not too familiar with the Vivaldi; that time period is not one of my musical strengths. However, I am getting a better feel for the different styles of the above named composers.

Roehre, does the Manfred Symphony fit between Nos. 5 and 6, chronologically? (I look forward to your listening lists everyday, sorry!)

No. The Tsjaikovsky opus numbers (i.e. up to and including 75/79, but without the posthumous 76-78 and 80-81) are chronologically straightforwardly in the correct order.

Symphony 4 is opus 36 (1877); Manfred is opus 58, dating from 1885, 5 is 64, and dating from 1888.
Hence Manfred was composed between 4 and 5.

I intended to listen to the cycle chronologically, but for associative reasons I swapped Manfred for 5: August 17th is my late grandmother's birthday, and I associate 5 with the place in the forests where my grand parents lived.

That is a wonderful association; thanks for sharing that! The 5th was one of the first of Tchaikovsky's symphonies that I got to know and among the first in my introduction to Classical Music. Hence it is a favorite of mine.

Interesting spelling there. That was intentional, I assume?

No, not intentional. The standard Dutch one.

Mozart: Six Variations in F on Paisiello's Gli Astrologi

Hummel: Introduction, Theme and Variations in F

Hummel: Introduction, Theme and Variations in F

This is the work for oboe and orchestra opus 102?
Was my very first encounter with Hummel in 1971 and one of the very first pieces of classical music I got on a pre-recorded cassette tape anyway.
