    cool

    • And remember… poor Frederick would have had to play that third movement, with its precious few places to breathe, so it’s important to remember, that as Frederick is turning purple, that he and CPE did not get along very well… “Here, your Majesty, is a little something for you to blow upon…”

      “The sacred things ye learn, to none disclose,
      A little falsehood much discretion shows;
      Regard Iaos as supreme above,
      In winter Pluto, in spring’s opening Jove,
      Phœbus through blazing summer rules the day,
      Whilst autumn owns the mild Iaos sway.”

      I hope that with a moment’s reflection you change your mind. When I come onto the site I often look at the poster before choosing to read the post, and I would miss you.

    • Funny, I TOO cancelled my membership (yesterday).

    • I must be out of the loops!

      You will be missed, Freefall. Hopefully we’ll see you back sometime soon. Marxist invective and all – whatever that’s supposed to mean. But what does a dummy like me know about class struggle?

      this is mad, so wonderfully mad…

      • It’s Zelenka… hence, wonderfully mad!

        • I heard this piece years and years ago, and it’s so wildly Bohemian in every wonderful way.

          • I sometimes think that a lot of the “Sturm und Drang” in early CPE comes from the Czech baroque composers and especially Zelenka. So many affektif gestures are so similar.

            • …and unfortunately, getting thee to a church these days, you’d be subjected to bongo drums, electric guitars through 50000 watts of distortion, and belly dancers with ugly tatoos.

    Did anyone see this snippet stuck in the middle of Soros’s lament for things going wrong for Europe… A Marshall Plan for Africa?

      From Wikipedia:
      “The Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) was an American initiative to aid Western Europe, in which the United States gave over $13 billion[1] (nearly $110 billion in 2016 US dollars)[2] in economic assistance to help rebuild Western European economies after the end of World War II. The plan was in o…[Read more]

        Does Soros have ties to the Brookings Institute? Is the current day re-colonisation of Africa and other emerging countries their plan?

      • And we are told that the Marshall plan saved Germany … only $11 billion dollars (in 2016) or 11% of the 100 billion was spent on Germany. Lion’s share went to UK/France. Can $11 billion dollars even help rebuild one major town in Syria?

    • Is this a “CIA” (British) coup against “The Trump” (Nazi) faction of the deep state, conducted overseas?
      Nayef was a CIA protege and the US-British pick to replace Abdullah.
      MBS came out of nowhere and was perhaps a NZI protege.

    • If he has been badly messed up, American surgeons must have been working on him 24/7, so he can appear on TV without sitting in a wheelchair. Time will tell.

      Richter makes my ears go into different spaces, and then pulls them back…at the same time !

        I don’t know how to describe this; Richter’s mood is to change one person into another… ?

      • I grew up listening to him; he was a phenomenal virtuoso. I didn’t care much for his orchestral interpretations, but he was absolutely spot on in using large harpsichords with 16′ choirs to play the Bachs, as he knew that’s the sort of instruments they had and used. He took an enormous amount of flak from the “authentic performance” crowd because…[Read more]

    A nice up tempo period instrument performance of the Gloria from JS Bach’s setting of the Lutheran mass, BWV 233. This little five minutes is chocked FULL of Affektiv devices, plus, in five minutes, you get three four-voiced fugues:

    Speaking of the Octopus…I caught this story today:
    Kind people rescue stranded octopus, but the next day—in disbelief at what it does to them
