    Mozart Fest

    I see that Radio 3 will play nothing but Mozart for the first 12 days of January (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11908048). At least that might stop some of the moaning about Breakfast

    This is a straightforward example how to cut costs.
    At least I know that I don't have to check R3 for programs to listen to .:cool2:

    I hope however that they will repeat the complete Stravinsky/Tchaikovsky from february 2007 , as I missed a couple of items (Bach/Stravinsky WTC, some PT-operas as well as PT's 1st symphony in it's 1st version e.g.)

      So you are certain that the Mozart snippets on Breakfast will not be interspersed with requests for us to "text in" our favourite Divertimento movement or concert aria?

        Yes, I really enjoyed that interesting week.

            I only said "some of the moaning", not ALL of it.

              The old problem of posting before reading.

                I'll try and keep on top of this - I've closed the other thread as it hasn't yet received any replies.

                Meanwhile, you can have your say directly to the boss man on the R3 blog.
                It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                  Wall-to-wall listening of any composer's music can become a little wearing. I've done it with Mozart, Bach and Beethoven when I bought the complete works of these great men on CD. At present, I'm doing the same with Britten's music, though with a (mere) 35 CDs.

                    Nice

                      No. What's on it? Does it contain that little snippet "La Tartine de Beurre" (I think that's its name) - a piano piece full of right hand glissandi?

                        Apart from completed snippets, which attributed works are included? Which of the surviving fragments anyway?

                          No piano music. Here's the Amazon list. I'm not too keen on Ein musikalischer Spaß, and most of the rest are dances. The 'Breakfast' suggestion was for Das Donnerwetter (48 secs) but I also rather like Der Sieg vom Helden Koburg.

                            Mostly late stuff then. Has anyone heard the Philips "Mozart in London" CD with snippets edited by Erik Smith?
