Elliott Carter once said that the opening movement, Partita, of his Symphonia: sum fluxæ pretium spei - one of his finest achievements, I think - was in a sense like a soccer match; it that the kind of thing that this thread's all about, by chance?

You mean stuck - as indeed he did - and as indeed I do! - one of the many differences between us on that front being that he stuck to it for about 87 years, which is more than anyone else has ever done, I imagine (I've recently discovered that he wrote a substantial piano sonata in around 1924 or 1925 although I'm uncertain if it still exists - and his final work, 12 Epigrams for piano trio, was completed on August 2012 with some amendments to the first of them dated mid-September that year - I had the privilege of looking at the autograph ms. only three weeks ago, which is when I found that he'd tweaked no. 1 the month after completing the 12).Originally posted by Beef Oven!

Ha regal Brian started too late to compete in number of years in music but Stokowski probably ran him close, however if this discussion on long musical careers is to continue it needs to move to a new thread - this one's for footy all the way from top forum club Leicester to very low league, run out of money and luck, Hereford.Originally posted by ahinton View Post

Great away win for Palace. Man U reject, Zaha, played a blinder by all accounts. The winner was scored by Liverpool-born (and fan), Scott Dann.Comment

I was thinking specifically of composition careers rather than musical ones in general. Anyway, I've no idea in what league Hereford might expect to find itself in the context concerned, but if it would be near the bottom end, I would not be surprised (although the Cathedral's music making has much going for it); the place has no ring road or motorway and is very hard to get in and out of, so I'd not expect any great shakes from their efforts with games with balls whatever the shape of those balls (and I think the racecourse has died a death, too).Originally posted by cloughie View PostLast edited by ahinton; 09-11-15, 08:39.Comment

One question that arose during lunch is whether there is any precedent for the catastrophe that is Chelsea this season. In other words, has any winner in the top flight ever had such a bad start in the following season? Then we turned to Leicester. We felt if they really make a success of this year it could lead to a sea change in the involvement in football of people of Indian and similar family roots, given the ethnic composition - football playing and support. Vardy has already performed miracles. Maybe that will be his main one!Last edited by Lat-Literal; 09-11-15, 02:42.Comment

In 1968, Manchester United won the European Cup, and were pipped at the post in the league by Manchester City.Originally posted by Lat-Literal View Post
The moment of glory was short-lived, with Man U making a poor start to the season. Sir Matt Busby resigned in mid-season and handed the reigns over to Wiif McGuinness, which only made matters worse. They finished 11th.Comment

Blackburn won in 94-95 and were 13th in November 95-96. They recovered to end up 7th. This was the year Man U pipped Newcastle after Kevin Keegan's famous emotional outburst: "I will love it if we beat them!" .Originally posted by Lat-Literal View PostComment

The other question which should be asked is whether any other Chelsea manager in recent years has made November following a poor start to the season.Originally posted by Lat-Literal View PostComment
