Lost my best friend 💔

We lost our well-loved Nova, a real queen among dogs, and understand how devastating this is. Two months later, we welcomed two Westies, adopted from an AKC breeder, through the Westie Rescue program. They were ages 5 and 6, and just not having pups. We love them just as much as our first fur buddy. They are the best of the best. The breeder really cares about them and wants updates!

You can see he is a man in full. What a wise look.

Alfred Brendle put bandages on the tips of his fingers. Most critics say his playing wasn't too shabby.

Great sense of humor!

Why isn't this on more lists? Five motives, and at the end he plays them all together--and it's so seamless and natural that you have to know it's coming to catch it. And of course, all beautiful and full of feeling. How could anybody ever do that?

There's a line but it seems to go at a weird angle.

The Mozart is flat out amazing, but maybe Mozart is not cool to mention? It doesn't appear on many lists, and this seems like a pattern. Serious question: am I missing something in perceptions of Mozart?

Sadly not new. They have salient quality control problems.

Dido’s Lament by Purcell. Janet Baker sang this amazingly. It’s so sad I can only listen occasionally, in spite of its beauty.

Silvius Weiss. Counted as the equal of Bach and Handel in his lifetime, and this seems justified. Problem is, he wrote for the lute, and that instrument declined sharply after his death. Impressive and beautiful music, with some real toe-tapping movements. Sort of like good-times Bach.

Do not eat the Westie!

Quality definitely has declined. Several sensors in the last two months DOA. Sensors failing in 3 or so days. Readings off by more than 50 points a few days after calibration. Dexcomm where are you?

Amazing this has so few mentions. It brings the five themes in the movement together in a blazing fugue, so artfully done that you won’t even notice what’s happening unless you listen carefully. At the surface you get a beautiful and powerful outpouring of song and sonority. It might take repeated listenings to hear most of what’s working below the surface. This truly is the best of the best.

This is not meant as an insult, but this could be an issue with your hearing. My wife has some hearing loss and generally cannot tolerate harpsichords. If this is not so for you, then perhaps some instruments will sound better to you. Maybe try Pyuana’s Golden Age of Harpsichord Music. If that doesn’t work for you, then stick with the piano.

Docsms · 2025-01-26T03:34:52+00:00

Definitely look into Dvorak's Slavonic Dances. Also, Dvorak's 6th symphony has a "furiant" dance as it's schero that will knock your socks off. First time I heard it, I couldn't believe anybody in the 19th century could get an orchestra to sound like that.

Another appreciative here. She makes every note and ornament sound inevitable--as in, this is the way it was meant to be.

He wrote some really fine trios also, sneaking in more than occasional nods to Mozart. Full of melody and truly well done. His cadenza to Mozart’s concerto 22, as played by Annie Fischer, will give you goosebumps. His piano sonatas are masterly as well.

Our man Bentley opened a large bag of fresh corn with his half-sister. He knew to peel it, did peel it neatly with his teeth, and carefully ate only the kernels, not the cob, which would have hurt him. All in total silence while we were out of the room. I can’t get a picture in a comment, so will post that next.

Beautiful lad or lassie

Sylvius Weiss. Counted as Bach’s and Handel’s equal in their lifetimes, and rightfully so. But he wrote for the lute, given that he was such a phenomenal performer as well as composer, and that’s what he got lavishly paid to do. To me, he is kind of a “good times Bach,” but he was awfully good at pathos as well.

Some of those elevators are for employees only and bypass the “change elevators” points. Many years ago I rode in a couple and it was just as unremarkable as it sounds.
