A Turkish third

I was all proud thinking it was Mozart's 'Turkish' violin concerto (not that it got me to a U) but then I found out that was No 5...

It's more from that about M'Lud

Same cul-de-sac here at Ferney Towers; Saint-Saens useless, too.

39 years ago was 1974.








Just thought I'd mention it.

(Incidentally, a rude child once intimated that "cul-de-sac" was actually snigger-worthy in French. Was he correct? If so, what polite term do the French use for their dead-end streets? And don't say "Marseilles"!)

Again maybe slightly misleading - 39 years or so between the start and the event that,as with most Unfinished, left it unfinished.......

A rude but learnèd child: yes, it just means 'bag arse' in French - no relevance to streets whatever. A dead-end in French is une impasse or une voie sans issue...

not quite sure what that sentence means but if it means Mozart is involved there is that Turkish third movement of that piano sonata - alla turca

only Hoddinott-related Us I can find are University College, Cardiff and a piece called Lady and Unicorn

so, 39 years between a work remaining unfinished and the death of the composer ??

EDIT - just been reading about Schubert's unfinished. apparently 37 years elapsed between his death and Mr Huttenbrenner revealing the symphony's existence.

lots of other unfinished works of course

[mercia]

Turkish composer Fazil Say's third symphony is called Universe apparently

Hoddinott - The Sun the Great Luminary of the Universe - missed that first time round

there's an unfinished Universe Symphony by Ives, but at the moment I can't figure out the 39 years

EDIT - Ives died in '54 minus 39 = 15. 1915 the year of the symphony's conception.


thank you wackypodia

not quite sure what that sentence means

Yes that puzzled me slightly too.

However, terrific work mercs by the look of it

The Lord A's verdict awaited with interest

Back to the Conference for the delegate from Lincoln's Inn?

Mercs got it spot on Ives started the Universe 39 years before his death in 1954.......


Very good by mercs - have a nice day as C Ives might say!

George's sailor, Woodall's motet, Trevor's velocipede and an organ reed


[start with Woodall if I were you]

[Resurrection Man]

I keep coming back to Viola but not sure why. Viola a character in the Tempest? Lots of organ stops called viola xxxx. Trevor's velocipede...Trevor Pinnock....a cycle of some music or other ?
