I’m happy this sonata is for 2 clarinets. Because that is who seemed to show up for the recording session!

- it follows some bass clarinet on the previous program
...The nice thing about *this* program is - if it insults my intelligence - I can be unequivocally certain it's because it deserves it...

Now we're up to four, with barrel organ!

ranjit:

That may be too many clarinets. I'll reserve judgment for know.

I like the barrel organ here. Kidding aside, very good taste for bleach Monday.

- were this guy & Copland bowling partners ?

Bethany Ryker:

Chances are they lived in California at the same time - I'll look into it. Are you suggesting a musical association of sorts?

I'm enjoying browsing the wikipedia article about Petrushka.

...the Pierne reminded me of Copland, fwiw (?)...

Bethany Ryker:

Copland loved clarinet, I can see that connection! I'm going to investigate any Stravinsky/Copland interactions, though - good fuel for a forthcoming program!

Would it be wrong to post a link to a rival station? WQXR just posted an album of estonian folk song that would probably be of interest to music nerds like us!

Bethany Ryker:

Post away! I don't think of them as rivals at all!

I thought i hated the sound of the viola organista when I saw demo videos of it, but this is nice!

...there were PBS shows in recent years that looked @ DaVinci's notebooks - & they made the argument that artists have looked @ them, but scientists less often - & he had explained a sort of whirlpool backwash action in the ventricles of the human heart that anatomists in our time have only just discovered for themselves. Has also been said that DaVinci's IQ is more or less unmeasurable - as his Genius exceeds that of anyone's who has made such a scale!: Even Einstein & Stephen Hawking characterize Genius in only one field...

Good to note on the current piece that Kagel wrote for Renaissance instruments for the sole reason of their timbre and tonality...not really to prove anything about 'period performance' or whatnot. A stark difference from the very, very refined Viola Organista!

This Alvin Lucier is really stunning. Thanks!
