some surprisingly late French ones.
Do you mind mentioning some names here?

I'm amused to find the very obscure 'durezze e ligature' genre which had its 'heyday & a half' in the work of Frescobaldi (as well as Ercole Pasquini, G.M.Trabaci, and G. deMacque) but only an obscure precedent, aftermath, and function. It too became a footnote in history only to appear briefly quite a bit later in a strange little piece by a French one Louis Couperin, who happened to have a copy of one 'duresse' attributed to Frescobaldi, in a foreign hand. Willi Apel considers this 'genre' for a few pages in his book on keyboard music before 1700, but doesn't explain what this stuff actually is, or is for. I suspect they were experimental harmonic studies and not much more.

My 'durezze e ligature' research just received an unexpected bump when I ran across a book just about Frescobaldi's toccatas, with about 30 pages analyzing his d&l technique. Ok, so it was published in 1989. But then, so was other stuff I probably missed.

                  GREAT MUSICIANS     BBC 4     19.35 hrs      31st October 2008

This series has provided a worthwhile collection of films directed by Christopher Nupen which will continue, this evening, with a two part profile of the Russian-born virtuoso, Nathan Milstein - Master of Invention.   Part Two will be shown on Friday, 7 November 2008, 5 minutes earlier at 19.30 hrs.   Tonight's schedule starts at 19.30 hrs with a repeat of the ever delightful London to Brighton, rail journey, in Three-and-a-Half Minutes.    Can you spot and name the stations, en route?

Have a look a little way down this page, Stanley, and you'll see some of us have made a start already!

Stanley - and others - just in case you're not aware, this is the 1980s remake, not the b+w 1950s original (which took thirty seconds longer) so if you've not got it already, you'll need this one too...

Martle, that avatar is SCARY!

It looks like a cross between a castrated gingerbread man and something out of Punch and Judy. Shocked

Thank you, martle and Ron.   I missed the earlier posting and was puzzled about the 3 mins 30 secs as I was convinced that I had the same title with a running time of 4 mins on video - somewhere  Roll Eyes - but yon, methinks, I now see a chink of light as I wasn't aware of the update.     Finally, rebuked myself and decided that - around the same time, 1954 ish? - I may have been thinking of Roger Bannister's 4 minute mile record.   And, eh,...oh, let's leave it at that.   Grin

Poor old Nathan Milstein shunted into the sidings pro tem.
