((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?
Thanks, unique!
Luv.....#100!!
Sleep tight...I’m going soon.
It looked nasty and sloppy on the cams when I peeked at them earlier, while it was still daylight. Y’all got a lot of snow the past couple of days and the old stuff wasn’t all gone yet.
I pretty much gave up on FR tonight and I really wanted to check the day’s news. But it dragging so much was putting me in a foul mood so I decided to head over to Europe to check out all the stork cams I follow. LOL! Some are just getting to their nests and a few early ones have eggs already. That brightened the mood.
The kittehs appreciate it, for sure. I tend to yell when the mood gets foul and since they’re close at hand .....
Yeah, I could do that.
But it’s not nearly as much FUN! :-)
LOL!! Thank You, what a cute pic!!!
Thanks! Think I’ll go for 2! :)

Awesome tribute to John, Sis!
Thank you for honoring him in this way!
About giving your kittehs medicine..
If it’s dropper medicine, mix the drops with a small
amount of butter and put it on the PAWS.
I guarantee you the cat will lick it off.
Don’t put on so much that the cat can flick it off,
just coat the paws with it and let him go!
I am ill and going back to bed.
Hope to see you later tonight!
Thank you, Sis! I just NEEDED to do this. I will have one for Eaker tonight! :)
The butter on the paws is a great idea!! I’ll have to try it! Right now I’m just dropping a bit of it in his fur near the wound and he licks it off just to get himself cleaned up.
Sweet day dreams, Sis! ((((hugs)))) See ya tonight!
Networking! Walter Damrosch, conductor of the New York Symphony, had been present at the 1924 Aeolian Hall concert where “Rhapsody in Blue” had received its premiere. The next day, he contacted Gershwin to commission a full scale piano concerto for his orchestra.
But George was swamped with work for Broadway and was not able to begin sketching ideas until May 1925, over a year later. He began a two-piano score on July 22, after returning from London. The first movement was written in July, the second in August, and the third in September, much of the work being done in a “practice shack” at the Chautauqua Institute in upstate New York. George completed orchestration of the concerto on November 10, 1925. Later that month, he hired a 55-piece orchestra at his own expense to run through his first draft at the Globe Theater. Damrosch attended and advised Gershwin, who made a few cuts and revisions. It’s always good to have professional advice.
An enterprising newspaper reporter – in those days, a reporter who called himself a “journalist” would have received a punch in the mouth from his contemporaries – dropped in at the Globe and had this report.
Gershwin’s pipe wandered in and out of his mouth all through the rehearsal. In particular, he used it to point accusingly at members of the orchestra who were not solving their jazz problems successfully.
The concerto shows considerable development in Gershwin’s compositional technique, particularly because he orchestrated the entire work himself. George was ready to show off what he had learned.
Damrosch premiered the concerto at Carnegie Hall on December 3, 1925 with Gershwin as soloist. The concert was sold out, and the concerto was very well received by the audience. But the reviews were mixed, with many critics unable to classify it as jazz or classical. Among contemporary composers, Igor Stravinsky thought it was brilliant, while Sergei Prokofiev found it amateurish. Prokofiev had something bad to say about everybody and everything, so that wasn’t a surprise.
Arnold Schoenberg waxed effusively for the press.
Gershwin is an artist and a composer – he expressed musical ideas, and they were new, as is the way he expressed them. An artist is to me like an apple tree. When the time comes, whether it wants to or not, it bursts into bloom and starts to produce apples. Serious or not, he is a composer, that is, a man who lives in music and expresses everything, serious or not, sound or superficial, by means of music, because it is his native language. What he has done with rhythm, harmony and melody is not merely style. It is fundamentally different from the mannerism of many a serious composer who writes a superficial union of devices applied to a minimum of ideas. The impression is of an improvisation with all the merits and shortcomings appertaining to this kind of production. He only feels he has something to say and he says it.
Damrosch was equally flowery.
Various composers have been walking around jazz like a cat around a plate of soup, waiting for it to cool off so that they could enjoy it without burning their tongues, hitherto accustomed only to the more tepid liquids distilled by cooks of the classical school. Lady Jazz has danced her way around the world, but for all her travels and sweeping popularity, she has encountered no knight who could lift her to a level that would enable her to be received as a respectable member of musical circles. George Gershwin seems to have accomplished this miracle boldly by dressing his extremely independent and up-to-date young lady in the classic garb of a concerto. He is the Prince who has taken Cinderella by the hand and openly proclaimed her a princess to the astonished world, no doubt to the fury of her envious sisters.
This is where Gershwin proved he could play with the big boys. Rachmaninov must have been thrilled with Gershwin’s progress as a composer.
Yuja Wang does a fine job on this half hour piece. The video is from the Barbican Center in London.
Of course, far be it for me to say ANYTHING critical about EITHER Sergei OR Igor, considering that the worst I have ever had to put up with as an artist is life under Obama, and they BOTH had to put up with STALIN! ((((shudder))))
Stravinsky even took a shot at ragtime. Jazz didn't scare him, and he enjoyed being the bad boy of classical music.
Stravinsky left Ukraine for Switzerland when World War I broke out, and he never returned to Russia again except for a concert tour in 1962.
