opilec, I think you know Janacek.
I heard his piano Sonata and loved it very much. Today they played his Kreutzer Quartet.

Well, not personally ... though I did once meet a really striking lookalike: it was quite a disconcerting experience! I heard his piano Sonata and loved it very much. Today they played his Kretzer Quartet.
The Sonata's a beautiful piece, t-p, even if one movement is lost.  Have you ever played it? I missed the Quartet -- this afternoon, wasn't it? |

Old Leos must be getting on a bit now though, eh, opilec? What, nearly 337 now?  though I did once meet a really striking lookalike: it was quite a disconcerting experience! Possibly not as disconcerting as the time I saw a David Lumsdaine lookalike talking to a Peter Sculthorpe lookalike in a gay bar! |

I thought that piano sonata was one movement sonata. Unfortunately I did not play that sonata.
My brains are slow today. There are new dates for Janacek: 1854 - 2008.
How are you doing in Spain, t-i-n? It sounds like you have a great time. I hope you stay there as long as you can.

Possibly not as disconcerting as the time I saw a David Lumsdaine lookalike talking to a Peter Sculthorpe lookalike in a gay bar! Actually, it was very disconcerting! It was at the 100th anniversary performance of Jenufa in Brno a few years ago. I'd been travelling all day from the UK, and only just made it to the theatre in time. As I took my seat in the theatre, more than a little flustered, I looked along the row and ... there he was! At first, I thought I was hallucinating. Then, when I'd collected myself a little more, that it might have been a prank by one of my Brno friends, who's a Janacek expert and goes in for practical jokes. The truth was even more bizarre: he was actually a professor from Salzburg who was speaking at the same Janacek conference I was there for! And he asked lots of questions at the conference. Every time he did so, I couldn't help thinking, "Why don't you tell us? You're the composer!" |

Two movements, t-p, but it was three. Janacek destroyed the original. |

Of course, if it really had been LJ, Opi, he'd have been looking considerably older by the time you saw him  Anyway, what really interests the assembled boarders is whether he was with his wife, or with Stosslova?  |

Now I know Arensky has Dumka trio too. I wish I could play it.
