What are you listening to now?

[Sorrano]

Tonight I attended a lecture given by the French composer Philippe Manoury. Very interesting indeed. Here is a link with the topic presented earlier this evening:

Looks interesting! Now, if I could only read French.... I can pick up some things here and there, but it's hard to maintain continuity through the text.

Sorrano, go to Wikipedia, article "Generative grammar", section References. Reference no. 10 is a nice paper on the matter.

Thanks, that looks interesting and I will take a deeper look when I can.

Mozart
Fantasia in D minor, K. 397

This sounds very familiar to me. It was an example in Piston and looked for it in youtube. I do not want to speak in secret code. So, Walter Piston is the author of a harmony book as well as a well known American composer. And I think two of us at least are giving it a good reading.

Mozart
Fantasia in D minor, K. 397

That is probably the Fantasia that I learned years ago. It's a fun piece to play.

Indeed! I played it once in a piano recital, paired with a fantasia of my own composing. In retrospect, I should have played mine first. Following Mozart is quite daunting!

Bach:
Johannes Passion

In Gardiner's interpretation. He uses not the one version that begins with the finale of Matthaus Passion, part I, but the other one. To anyone who does not know the opening of Johannes Passion, in the 1730 version, I recommend it. He will be carried away in a wind of enthusiasm and joy (no religious connotations here).

Goldberg Variations

• This music sets the ideal working environment. I'm at my desktop writing and the music does not interfere, only the minimum to make my night pleasant. This is not heresy. I know what the Variations are. The player is Glenn Gould, who makes me laugh with his sitting one foot below the usual position.
