Learned something new: the composer of "Choptsticks" was Euphemia Amelia Nightingale Allan.

"Today, Allan is merely known because she composed what is now known as Chopsticks under her ‘de Lulli’ nom de plume. It originated as the Celebrated Chop Waltz, published jointly by Mozart
Allan and a London firm, Howard & Co., around 1877 as a solo and as a piano duet. (Instructions in the duet advised the melody player to use the sides of their hands as though they were chopping something.)" --Karen McAulay, "Women Pursuing Musical Careers," p. 102

#MoodMusicMonday today will be a weird mood, it is "mood"

You can interpret it with whatever you like including just the colloquialism "mood" to mean that's how you feel too, or maybe it's a song made while the artist was in a mood. Whatever.

Remember to tag your post with #MoodMusicMonday and mention the mood is "mood" so others can participate!

Critic Mark Berry described the proceedings as: “The most deserved boos I have ever experienced, for what is quite simply the worst production of anything I have ever seen. May the Almighty preserve us all from ever encountering Marcus Lobbes and his ‘AI curation’ again.

We saw 'Primavera' at the Bytowne yesterday. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33586629/
A good even if disturbing in places movie. Historical accuracy of the instruments used was pretty good! Baroque bows and violins used with no "tuners" or chin rests. It's a fictional account but there are hints Vivaldi may have had a real life dalliance with an orphan.
