If though there is something further a particular member wishes us to do, we ask him or her to state it clearly here in this thread. We shall then let it lie here for twenty-four hours in case other members have objections or other possibly incompatible requests, and after the expiry of that period without objection etc. we shall act upon the request which is to say do it.
I would suggest that you should accept Mme Antheil's Charpentier response as the answer to No.325, as it is clear that this was the snatch she was referring to, and reinstate any points both she and Mr Barrett gained for it. That is exactly what I had in mind, and it gratifies me to discover that at least one other member shares my own particular idea of what would constitute 'common sense' in these circumstances. As a more general point I must confess that I like Mr Grew side with Kant and even more strongly with his predecessor Hume, a most stimulating and intelligent philosophical writer, on the issue, and in invoking 'common sense' I did not mean to suggest that it is always or even usually the best way to proceed. The quoted comment from George Campbell's Philosophy of Rhetoric is is it not an instructive example of stupidity disguised from modern eyes by nothing more than the aura of a two-hundred-year-old written style? |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Wild guess at Puzzle 371, Shostakovich Cheryomushki
I believe we've solved that one, Bryn - it was Fucik's The Bear With A Sore Head!  |

Hm. I may have to go through Sergei Leiferkus's entire discography...
Prokofiev: Semyon Kotko? You know, I have a funny feeling, Ollie, that Semyon Kotko might just constitute a stage work.  |

One does rather lose track with all the 'Suites' that get posted around here...  |

Here is Puzzle 373. Will anybody who participated in this, or any other performance of the work, in this, or an earlier version, please have the good grace to refrain from attempting a solution to the puzzle? Well at least that means I am eligible to attempt a solution.  Is it from Cardew: The Great Learning? I am afraid that will not do, GG. I need not only the specific work from that collection, but the particular version. You see, it is not from a performance of any part of the published edition. Tell us more... (once it's been correctly identified of course...*) *By which token I'm not casting any aspidistras at Madame Antheil's stabbing technique. |

Now for the last in the current trio, Puzzle 374, a rather longer clip, this time. Cage Sonatas and Interludes? You're at it again, aren't you, Ollie. Just after the 20 point. No, that is not a prepared piano, nor a sonata or interlude, and neither is it by Cage. It's Harry Partch and I think it's And on the Seventh Day Petals Fell in Petaluma but if it's Windsong I will howl and beat my breast. It is not And on the Seventh Day Petals Fell in Petaluma. Fine. Is it Windsong? [beats breast wailing] It is indeed Windsong. Fancy that Sudden chap mistaking that ensemble for a prepared piano. What is the world coming to? I should have guessed from the audio quality... I recognised it as soon as I heard it but jumped to the wrong conclusion. |
