Comment on Shostakovich: Symphony No. 11, “Year 1905″ by Rex Watson

For your possible interest, all four movements of Symphony 11 by Shostakovich are based on the Standard 12 Bar Blues chord sequence. (That is easy to check, is it not? You have merely to sing a composition known to be based on that chord sequence while listening to the symphony, and if the two fit together nicely, they must be based on the same chord sequence.) It would suprise me if Russian folk songs are based on that chord sequence.

I don’t own this CD but as far as I know, “Fünf Bruchstücke” is scored for clarinet and piano and Heinz Holliger plays piano instead of ‘his’ oboe.

just to clarify: there are no electronic sounds in “flutter”…purely acoustic playing only…

cheers!

Comment on Ligeti/Beethoven by Mary Green

I’ve already listened to this disk and can tell that this is amazing! Especially whereas I’m a huge Beethoven’s fan! This summer is very good for me as this was one great record and the second one, which I’ve found at onyxclassics, is also already issued Beethoven’s works performed by Maxim Rysanov, Kristina Blaumane and Jacob Katsnelson and is also wonderful!

Wow, my most sincere apologies at that bungle! I have no idea why my brain kept making that mistake! So sorry! It should be fixed now.

John Schneider is NO Jedd Clampett. His pioneering work in the field of Just Intonation, and the music of Lou Harrison, LaMonte Young, etc. have changed the landscape of the guitar forever.
