    It's a key question.

    According to the Flores' booklet notes, “The Tartini piece is a violin concerto popularised by Maurice André, and I add my own very personal ornaments to it using an A piccolo trumpet." and it was a "Titán Brandemburgo piccolo trumpet with copper bell".
    Given the length of that listing, Auntie could have put something interesting in...

    Auntie's "Giuseppe Tartini Trumpet Concerto" is a tad short on detail. I'm guessing it's this 2013 version, Concerto for Trumpet and String Orchestra in D major.

    I keep being offered to answer a questionnaire about the website but can't be bothered: they'd take no notice of any comments anyway.

    Choral Evensong is always badly served in terms of the psalm listings in Music Played, but the entry for last Sunday(16th) doesn't give any of the items at all, even scrambled, just the Liszt piece used as a filler at the end of the broadcast. Just as well that anyone looking at that page is likely to know enough to realise the lie, and that the order of service was correct.
    Normally I am out volunteer gardening on a Wednesday morning but this week was confined to quarters by a messy cold and happened to listen to part of Breakfast and then later check the Music Played and had to laugh. I can only assume that because it's only parts of longer pieces that are played, the AI can't cope with a complete work being played, as the Tartini Trumpet concerto is given a separate entry for each of the 3 movements... And no they are not 3 different performances.

No sign of it on the Breakfast listings and, using rewind on VLC to check, no sign of several other pieces (with the ring ouzel & before the Beethoven piano 5). He did mention technical faults being ironed out... Sam, Sam quick find a CD.
    Why does Auntie bother putting up listings if they're not even accurate?

    And while I'm moaning, why does TM have to quote the 3 listeners saying how much they've enjoyed the Breakfast selections?

    And an arpeggio was out of their reach.

    I enjoy silence more as I age.
    That reminds me - it's time to play my Simon and Garfunkel Greatest Hits album again.

    The discovery of a fourth listener would doubtless be hailed as a 33.33333% increase in the Radio 3 audience.

    From German-speaking, wine-producing Südtirol in north Italy:

    Original graffito: Besser rot als tot

    Amendment: Besser Rotwein als Tot sein.

    [Better red than dead

    Better red wine than being dead]
