Nothing!

.... some sort of humming in the distance, a radio in another room, cars passing by, my computer making its fan and harddrive noises, a high-pitched humming in my ears as I start to doze off...

[Bob]

Yeah, I'm breaking the rules with this.  I'm not listening to this right now, but it's a funny story.

I was listening to some slow jazzy christmas music.  A student of mine walked in, heard the music, and asked, "Are you waiting for a woman?" 

[Tash]

LOL

[Bob]

Yes, that Beethoven guy could use a few pointers.  Perhaps I should speak to him about his music...

I'm listening to Jamaica is a town in Spain by Fredrik Nilsson aka Shadows from GW forum. He's freakin' incredible.

[galonia]

Bach, Brandenberg Concerto No. 5 (my favourite out of all 6).

The recording I have has a harpsichord - does anyone know if this is ever performed using piano?  I like harpsichord, but just curious.

[julie391]

i dont think so - the harpsichord is continuo - and nearly always harpsichord

the keyboard concerti are however often played on piano

me-
cziffra improvising 

[Tash]

oh i love brandenberg concerto 5 it's my fave too! with no6 closely following it- i love it's first movement. my recording has a harpsichord playing too.

at the moment, chopin berceuse,love this piece it's the bomb of bombs

[galonia]

i dont think so - the harpsichord is continuo - and nearly always harpsichord

Are you sure?  For some reason, I always thought the 5th Brandenberg had 3 solo instruments - violin, flute and harpsichord.

On top of which, there's no reason why you can't play the continuo part on the piano if you like (or if a harpsichord isn't available)

[julie391]

well...im no expert...


im humming 'the sound of silence'...lovely tune

[Tash]

glazunov scenes de ballet- LOVE glazunov he's gorgeous!
