I afraid I’m just too tired today to write an in depth post about anything… I have written a few replies to comments, but I think I’m just going to zone out and play a bit of Deus Ex (streaming from @msearles) after writing this quick post! One of the […]
The Violin concerto of Brahms (1833-1897) is one of the masterpieces of the Violin repertoire, a pillar of the Romantic era of composition. Despite this stature, it is often overlooked in favour other more “tuneful” concerti like the Tchaikovsky or Sibelius Violin concertos. Part of the reason for this, is […]

Phew! Thanks for the responses to last week’s Steemi Basic Income Giveaway! I had lots of interesting responses and conversations from lots of different perspectives! I was struggling (in a good way) to keep up with the amount of informed and intelligent replies, so thanks again! However, I think that […]

Mozart (1756 – 1791) is the most recognisable name in the area of Classical Music, with his music being sterotypically light, witty and relatively easy to understand from a modern perspective. His greatest contributions to music are (in my opinion) the wide range of comic operas, but he made huge […]
When we think of childhood musical prodigies, the name that springs to mind is Mozart. However, there was another… Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847). In fact there were comparisons between him and Mozart by none other than Goethe, in a conversation with Zeller. > “Musical prodigies … are probably no longer so […]
