CLASSICAL MUSIC MOMENT OF THE WEEKGeorge Bridgetower was an English violinist with a black mother. In 1803 when Lou Beethoven was 33, George arrived in Vienna where Lou saw him perform. He was impressed enough to ask George to work with him on the first public performance of his latest violin sonata. Beethoven dedicated his new sonata: “Mixed-race sonata composed for the mixed-race Bridgetower, madman and mixed-race composer.” (There has long been a suspicion of an African connection from a great grandmother on Beethoven’s mother’s side, but that’s for the anthropologists to figure out.)
Beethoven never had a friend for very long, and shortly after their performance in public, they parted after an argument about a bar girl. Beethoven then rededicated the sonata to Rudolphe Kreutzer (“KROI-tzer”), a French violinist who never performed the work. This is why it’s known today as the “Kreutzer Sonata.”
When rehearsing the sonata in Beethoven’s apartment, George had to work from a single handwritten score, which meant he had to lean over Lou’s shoulder to read the violin part. In the second movement, which is in theme-and-variations format, George improvised a violin line. Lou stopped playing and said, “Once more, my dear fellow!” George played the improvisation again, Lou grabbed his pen and inkwell, made an alteration to the score and said, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
The finale is a romp, but not for the performers. The demands for both instruments are prodigious. This is Yuja Wang and Daniel Bell in concert from 2013.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
I loved Chutes and Ladders! And so much fun to teach it to nieces and nephews.
Get some rest and enjoy your weekend.

I did a double-take when I saw the temp posted in chat today. Big difference from yesterday.
Our weather is toasty for the next several days, then will back off next Wed. to mid-80s. That’s where we should be this time of year.
Nights are comfortably cool at least.
