How nice to know that Sting grollt nicht.

Me, working to become a name with enough weight to drop one day…

“As a composer, Schumann had a sense of humour. In his Piano Sonata in G Minor (Op. 22), Schumann indicated that the speed should be “As Fast as Possible.” Later in the piece, he asked the performer to play, “Faster,” and again further in the piece, he wrote, “Still Faster.” Submitted by Peter Ochs”

I was there yesterday, at Twin Spirits, as one of the audience. Though it was too short to tell more about the depth of the extraordinary two soul mates, the music was enjoyable, both familiar works and not very much so pieces. Also, did you know that there is a web site devoted entirely to Clara Schumann? http://www.geneva.edu/~dksmith

That’s a quite interesting site.

Good to know that you have such an intriguing blog. Especially, found your interpretation of ‘Kreutzer’ thrilling … after seeing you and Mr. Bell’s performance at Carnegie.

ROFL!
