        You can get stuff for breakfast at many of the stores mentioned.

          I am. It was rather fun today, I thought.

              Glad you liked it. I must have missed that bit.

                Interesting that, given that you were listening so intently as to be able to discern that PT sounded tired and bored. I bow to your supernatural powers of perception, and I must therefore be wrong.

                  Ooh, yes. I see from the playlist they played some Paganini. Radio 3 can be relied on to dig out some unusual arrangements.

                  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.

                    Yup, I knew you'd alight on that item out of them all. It startled me, but amused me also. I recall buying the album in my teens when it first came out, putting it on with great anticipation, and tearing it off after 5 minutes in dismay. With my dear father supporting me, I returned it to Woolies, and managed to persuade them to exchange it for 3 CfP LPs (one of which, ironically, was of the recently much over-played Slavonic Dances of Dvorak and Norwegian Dances of Grieg, conducted by Mackerras). Hearing it again, without warning, produced a rather pleasurable frisson in the circumstances, but I realise that this was a very personal thing. However PT post-announced it amusingly, and deadpanned a listener's reaction that it was 'vile'. All in all, it was a good show, professionally and winningly presented. IMV etc etc

                      It was mainly the equally 'dead-pan' way it appeared on the playlist as being by Paganini, with his portrait, and then the title.

                          Today's playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b043pwn3

                          Can anyone confirm? The polka from Les vendredi seems variously to be credited to Glazounov or Lyadov rather than Sokolov. Or did all three really collaborate on that single piece?

                            wiki says (which doesn't answer your question)

                            In 1886, the suite for string quartet, Fridays (Les Vendredis), was written by Nikolai Artsybushev, Borodin, Felix Blumenfeld, Glazunov, Alexander Kopylov, Lyadov, Maximilian D'Osten-Sacken, Rimsky-Korsakov, Nikolai Sokolov and Joseph Wihtol.



                            if this was the CD, it says the polka is by Kopilov

                              Very superficial on-line research throws up Glazounov, Lyadov OR Sokolov, or indeed Kopilov as the composer of the Polka. No one seems to be suggesting collaboration, but on the other hand there doesn't seem to be any overwhelming support for one over the others. But I don't have my Grove to hand... How very odd.

                                I can't believe that the individual movements, slight as they are, could possibly be the result of collaboration. I mean, the Polka's just a tune, innit?
