      It's some very loosely connected snippets....

        Snippets would be loosely connected, really......
        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.

          Indeed - but once they might have been whole.

            Yes but a piece of music linked to it? I did think of stringing together a 'Pas' or two, or the Chidren's Corner.

              After yesterday's D. Scarlatti Köchel Débachel on Breakfast, today's EC sonata was listed with a Kk number (it was 268). However, risking nothing, we were told only that it was "Scarlatti's Keyboard Sonata in A Major". Oh, that one. Nice to be told
              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.

                As a follow-up piece to 'Wachet auf' I've suggested 'Wake Up Little Susie'. Sadly I have to go out before I find out whether she'll choose to play it.

                        ... o come now, there are only some fifty Scarlatti sonatas in A major - and surely it shd be a joy for anyone to go through all fifty to re-locate the one that they had heard!

                        .

                          Judging by the playlist, she did! Perhaps she thought I was being eavily sarcastic.

                            Perhaps she thought you were being childish.

                              Well, she's always had something of the schoolmarm about her. I once emailed her during 'In Tune' to suggest that Nielsen's 'Helios' overture was generally thought to have been inspired by a recent trip to Greece, to which her dismissive response was that this was most unlikely and that the piece was very probably inspired by the long Danish summer evenings.
                              (By the way, it would never occur to me to suggest that any Forumista was childish, but I'll happily confess to retaining some harmless elements of childlike humour - which most, but not all, people manage to spot and some even seem to appreciate).
