 A supergroup is a music group whose members are already successful as solo artists or as part of other groups or well known in other professions. Usually used in the context of rock and pop music, the term has been applied to other musical genres such as The Three Tenors in opera.

The term is sometimes applied retrospectively when several members from a group later achieve notable success in their own right. Supergroups are sometimes formed as side projects and thus not intended to be permanent, while other times can become the primary project of the members' careers. Charity supergroups, where prominent musicians perform or record together in support of a particular cause have been common since the 1980s.

Yes - I remember that suggestion well from my youthful reading. I was a prodigious reader of American and British History in my youth - with a concentration on WWII.

We will never know if he was right - but somehow I feel that the defenses on France's Mediterranean Coast were not the equal of what we encountered at Normandy.

aka the longest running non-sport on TV. Does basketball season EVER end?

[ConorMacNessa]

Of course, you have to consider the logistics of a Southern invasion - would be considerably more difficult even with the resources we had in North Africa at the time.

WHEN SCHUBERT TOPPED BEETHOVEN

In 1798, when Beethoven was 27, Schubert was 1 and still in diapers.

That year Lou published his Piano Sonata in C minor, Op. 13, which established him as “Beethoven!” This is the famous “Pathetique Sonata” that every young pianist has to learn to get a serious taste of Beethoven beyond “Für Elise” and the Minuet in G, which were juvenile pieces that Beethoven refused to publish in his lifetime.

Frannie Schubert tackled this piece in his teenage years along with Beethoven’s Second Symphony which he played in the second violin section in the student orchestra at the Vienna Choir Boys School. These were his first exposures to Beethoven.

Frannie’s teacher was Tony Salieri, who was the headmaster at the school. Only a select few were allowed to study music with old Tony, and as the priest said who gave Schubert his musical entrance exam, “This one learned it from God.” Even though Tony was one of Beethoven’s teachers a decade earlier, it was Tony’s considered opinion that everything Beethoven had written after the Second Symphony was grotesque and a waste of music paper. He transmitted that sense to Schubert, and it wasn’t until Tony died in 1825 that Frannie could study Beethoven without feeling guilty about it. It took Frannie no time at all to realize that his old teacher couldn’t have been more wrong. Schubert’s output made a quantum leap in the next three years once he immersed himself in Beethoven’s output.

In 1828, Frannie was 31, and Beethoven had been dead for a year. Because Schubert had occupied the rotating presidency of the Music Guild in Vienna, he had been responsible for arranging the Guild’s participation in Lou’s funeral. This was to be the last year of his life, as a mixture of secondary syphilis and typhoid would finish him off by the year’s end. This was the year of the last four piano sonatas which are a monument to the repertory.

Beethoven’s first movement is in sonata format. There is a slow introduction, then an exposition in C minor with the second subject in E-flat. The exposition is repeated. Development begins by bringing back the introductory material, and it runs through the keys until he recaps in C minor for both subjects. He brings back the introductory material before wrapping it up with a quick coda.

Beethoven: Piano Sonata in C minor, Op. 13, first movement

Thirty years later, Schubert wanted to top Beethoven to make sure everyone understood that he had inherited Beethoven’s mantle as the next Great Composer in town. For example, Beethoven’s Septet for mixed winds and strings had a movement with five variations on an original theme. Schubert wrote an Octet with a theme-and-variation movement that had seven variations.

Not only did Schubert decide to write his own sonata in the Beethovenian key of C minor, he actually took Lou’s thematic material from his Opus 13 and ran with it in a totally different direction. Where Lou’s sonata had three movements, Frannie’s had four.

The first movement starts with the chord pattern and harmonic underlay of Lou’s opening movement, but Frannie doesn’t write an introduction. He just jumps right in. This performance skips the repeat the exposition and jumps right into the development. Watch the crossovers in the hands, something Beethoven didn’t use in his sonata, but which becomes a major feature of Schubert’s. At the recap, Frannie re-composes his first subject, which is something Lou didn’t do. The second subject recaps in C Major. The coda is based on the development material, but Frannie winds it down with a quiet and sullen ending, not at all like Beethoven’s fortissimo ending.

This is a point that hits home with me. I have undergone several MRI's and had to call one off mid-way because I couldn't take it anymore.

I understand there are "open" MRI's but I can't find them, or my prescribing physicians will not use them.

Everyone (4 so far), I felt like I was being loaded in a Subs Torpedo Tube.

Old Submariner here.
Closed spaces and pings don’t bug me so much.

[ConorMacNessa]

There you go. Unfortunately, my girth has reached such bountiful dimensions that I once had to go to another MRI provider. They couldn't quite squeeze the sausage into the tube. :)
