Now I think message boards ought to have one of these because it encourages musically-inclined waffle.
What's playing where you are at the moment?
Telemann here. As he very often is, which isn't necessarily a fore-handed compliment since I'm afraid for me getting through domestica often entails a certain amount of Baroque background chugging to stop me thinking too hard.
I do often have him on in the foreground as well though. Especially this disc in fact. Wind concertos with Musica Antiqua Köln, including the concerto for two chalumeaus, a gorgeous trumpet concerto, a concerto for three oboes and a concerto for flute and recorder.

I love Telemann oli.
We have a concert coming here devoted to Beethoven: duet for obligato eyeglasses, String Quartet op. 18, 3, String quintet op. 29 (storm). I may give it a miss as I don't like the fast moving crowd that gives it.
We have Brazilian guitar quartet soon with Albeniz, Villa-Lobos, Miranda, Mignone, Gnattali. I only know two first composers.
May be I should go to the Beethoven concert. They are celebrating Anderson, who translated Beethoven's and Mozart's letters from German to English. She was born and raised here and her father was first president of the university (or may be not the first).

I do love Telemann too. If you look very closely at my current picture (of course I'll probably change it at some point) you'll find the alto chalumeau part from the concerto for two chalumeaus. Which I found in a free scores site online but in a version for clarinet which I had to transcribe which is why it's written in blue ballpoint pen... But the instrument in the picture isn't a chalumeau of course. Don't I have anything better to do?  |

Thank be to God you said what your picture is. I thought it was a pencil. Is it part of clarinet (the mouthpiece?).
Telemann is good fun. I didnot notice he is very profound, but good fun. There is nothing for piano though. I am jelous. May be there is a part for harpsichord, but we don't even have one here.
I love Mozart clarinet quintet.
Please forgive me, but I don't know what is chalumeau. Do I have to google?

Ho! I'm currently listening to Alkan's 2nd Chamber Concerto. Next will be, I think, Kroller's Clarinet Concerto with Katerina Vachova and then, if I'm still around here, Wolf's Italian Serenade. This evening - who knows? It's really  here. Cheers |

t-p, the chalumeau was a forerunner of the clarinet. To this day, part of the range of the modern clarinet is referred to as the "chalumeau register". |

An ASV abum (1987) of Emma Johnson.
Weber clarinet No 1 to be followed by some things by Crusell, Tartini and Debussy.

Thank you Bryn. You are a fountain of wisdom for me.  King Kennytone, I wish I could listen to your choices. The sad thing is that there is not enough hours of the day to know everything. John W, Are you listening to Weber clarinet concerto? I am playing Weber concertino in E flat with a student for his diploma exam, but the student is not steady and the sounds he makes are not too pleasing. I am also playing Horovitz sonata with the same student. Does anyone knows this one. It is a jolly fun piece. |

John W, Are you listening to Weber clarinet concerto? Yes, probably my favourite clarinet work. I am playing Weber concertino in E flat with a student for his diploma exam, but the student is not steady and the sounds he makes are not too pleasing. I think I've only listened to that a couple of times, on an album featuring Gervase de Peyer, must dig it out! I am also playing Horovitz sonata with the same student. Does anyone knows this one. It is a jolly fun piece.
Don't know it, but I think it's called sonatina John W |

t-p, I posted some of my thoughts on the chalumeau in a thread with that very name so if you're still curious you can have a peek. It's often called a forerunner of the clarinet but it's not quite so simple. Anyway I've already written far too much there! Last time I played the Weber concertino would have been for my HSC music A exam (last year of high school). Oo, no, I'm wrong. I did it once live for a rather unsuccessful Ensemble Intercontemporain audition and then for a tape for a rather more successful EIC summer school application. Next time I have a go at it will presumably be on a 12-key clarinet by Joel Robinson from New York, but he has to build it for me first...  |

I am currently listening to some of Luigi Nono's pieces for tape - which I am enjoying very much and which seems to be a good accompaniment to the heavy snow falling outside.
To follow, not sure yet, perhaps Roger Woodward in Shostakovich's Preludes and Fugues. Completely different to Tatiana Nikolayeva.

Also Ravel - Ma Mère l’Oye with the Berlin PO/ Boulez, which arrived today.  I recently got the Boulez 'Daphnis/ La Valse' disc and was mightily impressed. |

I'm very much a fan of Charles Dutoit and the Montreal SO in this repertoire....such a shame that things soured there. I saw Dutoit conducting the Philharmonia in a super performance of Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique the other evening and it was like watching a master at work; the Phil are on top form at the moment too.
