Hi Publius!

Thanks for the links...will give a listen.

[Howie66]

Yes, Ma’am.

Went through ITR and Artillery School at Pendleton. That was back in the days where we had our own Artillery Schools.

Good evening, AAC...are you in the cold zone, too?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Stay warm.

[Army Air Corps]

Later on this week, I’ll tell the story of how I accidently planted the seeds that created the Ehnes String Quartet. On Thursday night, they’ll play Bartok’s first quartet. As I mentioned before, Bartok filtered Hungarian folk music through a dissonant prism, and his music isn’t for everybody.

Logging in Belgium, 1944.

Yes it looks scary to me. I was just thinking if it went off the tread way, it would probably go upside down in the river and everyone would be trapped.

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...a good Maddi day? She all better now?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...a Marvelous Monday? Recital planning coming along?

Beethoven wrote five sonatas for cello and piano, and on Friday night we’re going to hear the second sonata, which is an early piece. Lou wrote the piano part for himself, and the cello doesn’t get quite the spotlight that it gets in the last three sonatas. Beethoven wasn’t quite sure enough of his style to write a slow movement for cello – that would come later – so he wrote a slow introduction instead for this two movement piece.

This video is of Richter and Rostropovich from about 50 years ago from Soviet television. They were two of the greatest musical giants of the 20th Century. Listen to what they do with this piece.
