Private Passions

It's probably assumed that abbreviations same time. They really don't, much. And they don't even save trees any more!

Same time as what - or do they always pop up at the same time?

I enjoy the abbreviations, but they do sometimes confuse me.

And a quick google doesn't always resolve the confusion I've found, as it can offer up lots of results(sometimes all stuck on the same definition/answer) that are completely irrelevant.

Except when their meaning is unknown to the reader. Or was that a request for abbreviations which was missing a comma?

That's odd!

As always...

Abbreviations on the forum always please.

Beautifully done, vinteuil
Is PP really Pedant's Paradise?

OK - composers are very rarely guests on PP.

I agree, but - as Michael Berkeley pointed out at the start of the programme - composers very rarely appear on PP.

The episode with Thomas Ades was excellent. A guest with passionate enthusiasm for and deep knowledge of classical music.

Yes, and a good example of the value of extending the time slot to 90 minutes. The only good thing to come out of the April hash, sorry refresh?

Agreed

You can say that again . But more than a “deep knowledge “ - arguably our greatest living creative exponent of the art . Just about everything he said was worth mulling over and that’s a rarity these days.

Thanks for this pointer, folks.
