  2. Was looking for something else on Youtube really. :D This is my husband playing fortepiano. Way back, it's from his master's exam.

  3. There was a piece in yesterday’s #NYTimes that caught my eye … “#Schubert Is the Best Cure I Know for #Loneliness.”

    (Don’t be concerned on my account; while I’m big on solitude, I’m rarely lonely.)

    Despite my #music degree, I’ve rarely delved into Schubert; his last three #piano sonatas are truly remarkable.

    I recommend two albums by András Schiff on ECM (see pix) … they’re brilliantly performed on a period-accurate #fortepiano.

    Here’s a free link to the article:

  4. I'm an atheist, but I still enjoy various types of music, including the religious variety, as some is quite beautiful. To that end, I posted this a few years ago on Facebook. I braved the nightmare that is the main site today and was able to find it. I hope it brings joy to you.

    Now, it's time for some Christmas music history! Some of these are playlists, so just skip what you don't like, I promise, this is not the usual music you hear in shops!

    I have a few time periods in mind, but let us begin with the very first Christmas song ever written.

    Jesus Refulsit Omnium - Roman Christmas Song - YouTube

    And now, for something a bit more modern. Don't expect to hear Elvis on this list, though.

    Here are some songs from the eighteenth century! Unfortunately, these are just instrumentals.

    On to the Regency! Yay! Sadly, there isn't much available from then. Please feel free to make suggestions.

    This may or may not be authentic, but it's pleasant. Again, it's instrumental.

    Regency Music - Peaceful Christmas

    This is real, in more ways than one, as the song existed then, and it's being played on a genuine Regency piano!

    On to the Victorian era. Believe it or not, while a large number of familiar Christmas songs came from then, I can't find a good playlist! Again, if you know of one, please suggest it. While this recording is modern, you can be sure that Victorians would have been very familiar with the arrangements and that many also spent time in the church where this was recorded, probably hearing the same organ, too!

    Now, let's turn to my second favourite period next to the Regency, the Edwardian! This extremely special! All of the following was actually recorded then! I have made it a tradition to listen to this every year. Some of the tunes may be familiar, but in several cases, the lyrics may not be. The last one is a real treat for the children and those young at heart!

    Vintage Christmas Songs from the 1900's & 1910's Playlist

    I'm not very familiar with this one.

    1900s -1910s Victorian Christmas Music Selection

    This is from two years after King Edward's death, but I had to include it, as it's a lovely version. Note that the link that I originally provided no longer exists, so I had to find another. But here, you can actually see the grammophone!

    "Silent Night! Hallowed Night!" Elsie Baker on VV Model XI, 1912.

    Finally, as my friends know, I love Eton College, so I had to include this. It breaks the theme slightly, in that it doesn't belong to a specific time period, but songs from different times are sung, and all in a very traditional manner.

  6. Happy Birthday Wolfgang 🎂 - #Mozart was born #otd 1756. Here's a fragment of Adagio from Sonata K.570 that I'm playing on a copy of his favourite #piano.

  8. WF is the Bach boy you might have a beer with, but would never ask to dog- or house sit. Whenever I hear Polonaise 4 I think, “That WF is not quite right in the head…” Sanity restored w/his Sonata in D, III Vivace:
