Meanwhile, the lyrics are here.
When I saw Mozart, I thought it was going to be the sonata, K number forgotten. K331? Or thereabouts?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.

JS is creating a problem for me. Sunday mornings is my catch-up time for the Saturday evening programmes. Fortunately this Saturday night, I could afford to ignore Philip Glass

Hearing the delightful Dohnanyi, once a Proms staple, made me wonder why it has so completely disappeared from concert halls. I wonder how many pianists know it these days? I have a feeling that young pianists don't learn it because it wouldn't go down well at piano competitions. In the old days, perhaps competitions did not dominate musicians' lives as they now seem to.

Another joke on this Sunday's Playlist for Sunday Morning - introducing an unwitting audience to "Ethel Smith - Overture The Boatswains Mate" - they've even helpfully added a biography of Ethel Smith who apparently was an American Organist who played primarily in a pop style on the Hammond Organ. Well you learn something new every day!
