Thanks for that amusing one, Baz. I was just doing some investigation of chord progressions in Schubert, and finding that there is some expressive import in progressions from one chord to a second chord that shares no notes with the first. And I don't mean fairly common progressions such as I - ii6 or IV - V

Still a lot more to do there, do we have a Schubert thread?

Et d'avoir chié où ?  Cheesy

Do the Confessions continue in this vein?

Sort of!... I like how he alternates lofty passages with the most base observations  Smiley.

Here's a little folksong he mentions from his youth.  It might interest you, Ollie  Wink :

Tircis, je n'ose
Écouter ton chalumeau
Sous l'ormeau;
Car on en cause
Déjà dans notre hameau...

Sorry to come back to this so late...

Grading music according to its intrinsic value should never be attempted, the fortunate fact is that music hasn’t any intrinsic value that can be reliably measured by human kind. Therefore, individuals that have somehow convinced themselves otherwise are inevitably doing something else. It seems unlikely that ‘this something else’ is going to be done well by people who aren’t clear (or honest) about how-and-why of what it is they are trying to achieve, but rather claim possession of supernatural powers.

Depends what sort of chalumeau it is, I suppose...



Oser is a funny old word - as you will have noticed it's one of a very few French verbs which doesn't need pas for the negative.

Its English equivalent behaves a little oddly as well (it doesn't need 'to' to link it to the infinitive in its auxiliary function, and its present tense doesn't conjugate). Don't know if these are somehow connected.

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

One very famous example:

   Then sighing said the other, "Have thy will,
   I am the Love that dare not speak its name."

Mr Grew may like to note that there is a question awaiting his attention on the Poetry Appreciation Thread. Wink
