Polishing up my stuff for next weekend. It’s 1959 to 1988. Once we get to 1989 and beyond, the music doesn’t work for me anymore.
That one is gonna be epic!!...and I agree about the music ending in 1988. It’s all crud after that. Except for the occasional one....
There were a few decent songs in that era, but it all turned sour after ‘88 for me. I guess I was just getting old and crotchety.
How about a little post-Christmas classical fun?
This is the final movement of the greatest piece of chamber music ever written. On the surface, it's a dance in sonata-rondo format, but under the surface, there are a few demons lurking. The end is like Sissy Spacek reaching up from the grave in the last scene of "Carrie."
If Bob Schumann were alive today, he'd be writing movie music. This could come from the soundtrack of any love story.
See what you mean! LOL! Went all minor-y at the end. :)
Schubert didn’t really have a nasty side, but he managed to come up with one of the sneakiest endings in the repertory.
Felix was only 16 when he wrote this masterpiece. The third movement, a scherzo, sounds like lemmings heading for the ocean. In the last bars, they disappear over the edge of the cliff.
