[Sorrano]

This morning:

Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 9 in e Minor (Played by Daniel Barenboim)

The tempi felt pretty comfortable, I liked the "feel" of the music. The middle movement was a tad slow from what I am used to, but it worked with the way Barenboim played it.

Offenbach: Orpheus in the Underworld: Overture

This music will always remind me of the Mel Brooks Movie, Robin Hood, Men in Tights

[Symphony7]

Hello Symphony7, I suspect you are prankster not a million miles removed from my own forum persona. I welcome you !

Thanks for the welcome! I wasn't intending to be a prankster, but I'll see what I can do!

The tempi felt pretty comfortable, ...

That's the second time this week (and in my life) I've heard/read the word "tempi"! I imagine it's the plural of "tempo"?

Si!

[Sorrano]

That's the second time this week (and in my life) I've heard/read the word "tempi"! I imagine it's the plural of "tempo"?

I nearly posted it in the singular, tempo, but realized I was talking about all three movements, so tempi is correct.

Today:

di Lasso :
Prophetiae Sibyllarum
Psalmi Davidis poenitentiales - Psalm 6

Vicentino :
l'Aura che'l verde lauro

de Monte :
Miserere Mei

Guerrero :

Stravinsky:

Vaughan Williams:
Symphony no.6 in e (BBCMM CD)

[Enrique]

Mozart:
Sinfonia concertante

Bruckner:
Symphony no.4

What a coincidence. Both works are in E flat major. And as I have been listening to them almost all day long (in reality Mozart's), I could say like Clara Schumann: "E flat major resonated all over the house", only that it was D minor what she alluded to.

Bach:
The partitas for keyboard instrument

[Enrique]

Beethoven:
Piano concerto no.5 (Zimermann and Bernstein)

Bach:
Branderburg concerto no.1 (I Musici)
Clavier-Übung I

During that part of my life that will probably be the longest [if the first part ends now], I believed that the keyboard partitas where a work from Bach's youth. Only today, looking for them in wikipedia, I learned that they were among the last keyboard suites to be composed by him.

Ravel:
Ma mere l'oye (two pianos).
