Baroque ear worm with repetitive riff
International disaster, gonna be a blaster
Gonna rearrange our lives
International disaster, send for the master
Don't wait to see the white of his eyes
International disaster, international disaster
Price of silver droppin' so do yer Christmas shopping

Bach sonatas. There were some 70s and 80s recordings but they were bad. You can do the playlist and play them all.

I was going to explore more of Schubert. I got an inexpensive box set of the symphonies. It turns out I don't really care for the famous unfinished or the Great (#9), just maybe 3 and 4. They sound sort of like Haydn and Mozart. Not at all Beethoven.

For Beethoven, I don't care for the 5th at all. The famous riff is OK, but as a symphony, I am lost past the first movement. I only ever play the 7th and 9th.
This movement and some piano sonatas are my favorite Beethoven:

Taken to Wagner. Does that make me bad?

These darn Schubert symphonies are longish. I had to put 4 on iTunes and then walk around with an ancient iPod to play them. I never had a walkman, I did have a similar disc player that was cool, it would play a disc sideways in my coat pocket. Back in the day with Amazon and all, I had to buy CDs from stores. I would be at some cool place like San Francisco and then I would listen to the discs I bought at the end of the day in the hotel.

No worse than having a kitchen boogie to Michael Jackson.

Happy music: nobody asks what it means. Miserable music on the other hand...

This rendition reminds me of a musical windup toy we had in our sub-teens. We named it the Plimplumplum.

Yeah, it is rather plinky. Nothing like a big fat Moog.

A bit of a 'roomy' sound at first, but you soon realise that works to the advantage of a single-line instrument. A really interesting interpretation, and not an inconsiderable technical (and physical) feat...



I was hooked anyway.

I have an album of baroque pieces for other instruments arranged for bassoon. I already had an entire set of baroque concertos for bassoon by Vivaldi. This disc was a disappointment. Here is his flute to bassoon arrangement:

Noodling in c minor, with a few pom po doms.



Stringy dreamy stuff in D major....turning into noodling in D by 4 minutes



How do I tell the difference, say in the middle of the piece? I can't remember even one Brahms work 10 minutes after I heard it.
