          Today:

          Roussel:
          Symphony no.1 “Poème de la Foret” op.7 (1905)

          Schumann:
          Carnaval opus 9
          BBC MM CD with Claudio Arrau.
          A Mono recording marred by an over-present bass and some hurried playing by Arrau.
          IMO a less than great Arrrau performance.

                It is the same King Stephan who's the subject of both works - but there the similarities end, I'm afraid.

                            I've heard that Anon was one of the most prolific composers of all time.

                            This morning:

                            Bach (J. S.): Cello Suite No. 2 Each movement was arranged for a different instrument, as follows: Cello, Viola, Recorder, Double Bass, Bassoon, and Piano.

                              And a large family s/he got too: the last 1200 years or so it can be traced without much difficulty....
