          Dared to switch on this morning after an earlier rise than d'habitude... and in the absence of the irritating lithper CBH.

          Rewarded by Louise Farrenc's Piano Quintet No 1 in A minor, Op 30; Mvt III - Scherzo, Presto; then Leif Segerstam making a cracking job of Lemminkäinen’s Return

          and especially

          Erno Dohnanyi's Rhapsody in C, Op.11 No.3 - a real discovery, love it!

          That's more like it ! And no buffoons on dodgy phone lines from Chipping Sodbury &c.

          And now some good old British Light Music (Haydn Wood I think - I went to switch on the espresso machine ) which is always a giggle.

          Rather good show so far!

                Indeed but it's the South ferney and I think tomorrow Tree Lawn sets off further South to Cornwall or some such ....

                  One can never start on the pickett too early. Not even In the Midnight hour . ( sorry , bit contrived.)

                  Anybody reading this...I had an idea for a thread.
                  Great songs. One at a time. Any genre, any era, with ideally a Youtube link.

                  Never out of fashion, yer great song.
                  Thoughts?

                  Oh, and Breakfast sounds like the usual old stuff to me.
                  I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                  I am not a number, I am a free man.

                      :
                      That's the one with a couple of low Gs (off the bottom of most pianos). Such a richly romantic piece, especially the second subject, giving a whole new dimension to 3 against 2 rhythms. It's a piece I've started practising again quite recently, since attempting to play it on the only piano I've ever found with the extra notes:

                        Great, EA!

                        Is that really a rear-three-quarter view of the Alpine one at the Extended Pianoforte?

                                Impressive library, Alpie - what are all those books? (They look late 18th/early 19th Century?)

                                (Lovely piano, too - the wood [walnut?] so much more pleasing to look at than the ubiquitous "plastic black" of yer average Yamaha.)
