New Here/Misc.

[Quijote]

I raise my glass of Reisling in your general direction and smile sweetly, but I must confess that I'm already wedded to a handsome and stubborn Sicilian gentleman...

Kisses anyhow,

TC

An obstacle, I readily admit. Let me work out a plan.

Only if you dream of a life of wine tasting with the possibility of owning a winery, you love to travel, and the thought of running through rows of grape vines barefoot is intriguing

TC

Deal.

[Quijote]

I must, then, compose a Bacchic canon in your honour, TC. Hmm, let me see, what key shall it be in ... (hic) er ... (hic) ... jeez, where's my music manuscript paper ? ... Ludwig! Help!

LvB (for it is he, from beyond the grave) : Ach, dumbkopf! Never vill you write mit the muse vot I wrote with. Give it up, you silly smelly Britisher sweibel (onion)! TC vill be mein, meine immortal beloffèd, or do I mean belovèd, I neffer vas good at languages!

[TiberiaClaudia]

My Dear Philip,

I drink copious amounts of Reisling as I await my dedication

Oooo! A ghostly and possessive musical genius from beyond the grave...sounds almost like a Gaston Leroux novel...

I'd be Ludwig's muse any day.

Or night.

Signed,
~~~~~~Tiberia Claudia~~~~~~~

P.S.-I wonder if Ludwig'd fancy running barefoot through a vineyard somewhere????

A composer from beyond the grave writes (LvB) : Meine liebling TC immortal belloffèd, vhilst zat dumbkopf Philip is running around searching rebuttals to substitute dominants (hah!), I vill say zat running around barefut in a vineyard was vot I vas trying to say in my Pastoral symphonie! Du hast understood meine musik! Prima, meine schatze!! I too trinck many glasses of Rheine vine in your honour. Vatch out vor zat spinne (crazy) Britischer, he screw loose habt (has). Ja. Prost! In ze meantime, I vill kick up the smelly onion in the bottom department to give him inzspiration, he has much need of. Ja.

[PDG]

I hope you're not talking about me there, Phil? Your posts are getting as pickled as an onion.....I mean, your liver.

Re TC, I saw her first..........

[TiberiaClaudia]

Muss es sein? Es muss sein! Es muss sein!

To a composer from beyond the grave--

As I raise my crystal glass toward the imperishable skies where undoubtedly your spirit dwells, my thoughts turn to you, mein liebe Ludwig, and to our many barefoot romps through musical vineyards.

Du bist mein...


PDG-Is that really you?? Where ya been?

Philip--The wine today is (2001) Eiswein.

Meine liebling PDG: du bist as bad as that dumbkopf Schindler, long may his armpits rot in hell, as we liked to say in Wien at that point in time in ze history. As to that other dumbkopf Philip, he madman ist. Ach, such fools surrounding me are!
Re TC, you saw her virst, but my heart she habst, nein yours! Leaff vell alone, iv not I will you strap you to meine Graaf fortepiano and throw you out of window I vill! Warned you haff been. I remain, meine Britischer smelly old onion, your not-so-beloffèd Louis. Hah!

I am so glad to see that this thread kind of stopped. This drift of conversation was getting a little off the topic, to put it mildly. Thanks for choosing to behave yourselves, gents.

[TiberiaClaudia]

Gents??

Ahem...Gents?!?!

Actually, 'tis why Peter allowed us to continue while we did over here--had to spare the more stuffy of the lot our good humor! They don't have to drift down here and read if they don't want to and be of good cheer....

I actually think Beethoven would have appreciated the ribaldry!

PHILIP & PDG--

How's things? Received two more excellent reads on Beethoven a bit ago & counting the days 'till another Florida vacation so I can private message you more photos if you'd like... April 5th is the Pastorale performance in Grand Rapids, I can hardly wait! Sorry I've not written much, been more of a ghost than a participant of late.

With immense love,

*****Tiberia Claudia*******

Well, it was a Stopped Thread until you rejuvenated it, young sir!! I have now awoken from my slumbers........

Hey, Jen. I never received any private photos? If you sent them to Philip exclusively, that may explain why he is needing an extended lie down right now (that, and the many empty vin bottles by his bed (each one called "Tracy").
Good luck with the Pastorale, still my favourite Beethoven symphony.....

Now see what you've done!

[TiberiaClaudia]

Tans, Coconuts, and Tracy

Hey, PDG-

I actually have not been back yet--I leave in about a month...

In the meantime, I've been closely working on my tan

As far as the Tracies (sp?) go, I've got it all over them like a (wine) barrel.

So I'll PM you the Florida stuffs if you're interested in about five weeks...

The Pastorale is also one of my Beethoven favorites...I like the storm movement the best, 'tis awesome...

Do you like Schubert's "Unfinished?"

Ciao......................
