Originally posted by Richard Barrett View PostYou want to be careful with that. Webern himself used to whistle his own tunes when he went out for his evening walk and look what happened to him.

Originally posted by Hornspieler View PostI confess that I was delighted to believe the story that the American Sentry who shot Anton Webern was a former member of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and knew perfectly well who he was shooting at.

And in post #1283 on the "Absent friends & missing persons" thread, you said you would not be commenting on people’s posts anymore.

Originally posted by ahinton View PostIndeed so, but it was a confession, of which some might indeed involve disgraceful comments.
Ok, we music fans can be rather sensitive about those we revere, but none the less ......

Originally posted by Beef Oven! View Postto express delight in the killing of this brilliant man is appalling.
As for me, as I get older I appreciate Webern more and more. Looking forward very much to the op.1 Passacaglia tomorrow evening with the home team (plus Berg violin concerto and Brahms 4).

Originally posted by Beef Oven! View PostThe killing of Anton Webern has to be one of the most tragic incidents in music history. Robbed of one of the greatest composer to have ever put pen to paper. Some seventy one years later, the odd bit of humour is to be expected and is acceptable. But to express delight in the killing of this brilliant man is appalling.

Originally posted by Lat-Literal View PostI don't know whether Beecham ever composed anything of note.
I don't know if Eric Fenby produced very much original work.

Originally posted by cloughie View PostI'm not sure about Beecham's composition but he did some interesting arrangements of other's music on which no doubt the HIPPies on these boards frown over, as they may also over his interpretations of metronome markings and composers' intentions! Eric would have found a laptop and Sibelius very handy when working with Delius. I often think it a Fenby would be great to have as a neighbour to write down my musical ideas!

I like Beecham.
Let me re-phrase my question.
Are there any Beecham compositions?
