Koechel Killers?

Don’t build your hopes up it’ll be mostly tuneless twaddle and minimalist monotonies!

You've all been drinking from the Satie bottle now, haven't you!

[Pulcinella]

I blame Britten's Simple Symphony, with its
Boisterous Bourrée
Playful Pizzicato
Sentimental Sarabande
and
Frolicsome Finale

Sexy sextets might get the younger audience’s attention (they would probably read it as sex texts)

Hmm. Looks as if we're through the alphabet - I was hoping the R would be Rowdy Rodeos - each programme with a dozen different versions.

From a back-of-the-envelope marketing department idea for a trailer:
The new 5 to 7 slot on Radio Three - running the full gamut of classical music from A to B.

Here, yet again, is what we poor Brits have missed.

I really enjoyed the Bach, and the Ravel was a good piece to end on (and new to me). A tad worried that Gentle Morpheus might send me to sleep after the Boyce & Bartok.

I forgot - again.
Up too early and befuddled after a bad night I switched to radio on and was treated to William Byrd. "Oh back to normal" flitted through my mind, only to be rudely banished by some male wailing which followed it...

Perhaps I need to put a warning note on the radio above the On switch - "Think, is it Saturday?" as it's really not a good way to start the day. Knowing that the intended audience won't be subjected to the same distress as they won't be listening in real time rubs salt into the wound.
