In #25622 Mercia pointed out that <<the "back-end" of Winterreise is an H>>.Originally posted by Anna View Post
Winterreise is a cycle. The last song of which (no 24) is Der Leiermann (The Hurdy-Gurdy Man).
Nobody had actually yet said Joseph Schmitt's Symphony in E flat major ("The Hurdy Gurdy"), so well done, Anna
I may as well put myself out of agony by telling you that Eugene Goossens composed The Hurdy-Gurdy Man:
Enjoy!

Oh dear - answering your own questions... One might almost say you were playing with yourself.
I feel we have been a disappointment.
I have disappointed myself, at any rate. Just didn't have enough brain-cells left this end of the week to have the nous to put "Schmitt Hurdy-Gurdy" into google, which would have been a sensible thing to do.
Mercia and Anna are probably off-line. Ammy's in France...
I have a swift and very basic I to keep things going, though I have far from deserved it...
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

An I for an I, Calibs
Did you get my "incisive" bit? Léon Goossens lost his front teeth in a car crash. While I'm going solo here, I'll post this biographical video too:

Hurdy gurdy he sang - and I think Jeff Beck was in there somewhere.
...and the only Schmitt I could think of was Florent.Comment
