Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

String quartets seem to be more work to get thru, as listener, than a symphony of the same length. Here is a small helping of Vivace

In the Opus 3, number 6 is actually this



The older recordings put in a middle movement from an organ concerto, which publisher Walsh put in during Handel's time

Boxed set of Benjamin Britten arrived today and so finishes my English composer series. Only a shelf but they are boxed sets, all five of them.

Benjamin Britten - thought it'd be all bombast and nationalistic jingoism yet turned out to be anything but...

"Recurring themes in his operas include the struggle of an outsider against a hostile society and the corruption of innocence." Link

Maybe you thought of Elgar, but he too
felt himself to be an outsider, not only musically, but socially. In musical circles dominated by academics, he was a self-taught composer; in Protestant Britain, his Roman Catholicism was regarded with suspicion in some quarters; and in the class-conscious society of Victorian and Edwardian Britain, he was acutely sensitive about his humble origins even after he achieved recognition.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

There are no evil geniuses only over sensitive and misunderstood ones. Classical composers in the English tradition summed up then?
