#Mendelssohn Italian symphony

[sexynetra]

13 for boxer au <3 wanna commit to the vibe hehe

13. What music did I listen to while writing/what do I recommend people listen to

Okay here’s the thing. I made a playlist for rawnsyf a long time ago. That became basically the only thing I listen to anymore? So more likely than not I listened to that. But I also do a lot of my writing at work which means that I’m listening to bad workout remixes of pop songs that were big in like 2019 😭 do NOT recommend listening to that it’s annoying as shit. But I should make a boxer au playlist. The universe is big enough to deserve that 😂

For now here is the rawnsyf playlist which absolutely has songs on it that have informed boxer au scenes, but keep your eyes peeled for a boxer au playlist sometime soon now that the idea has entered my brain!

This whole symphony is ridiculously delightful, but the 1st movement is my favorite and great fun to play.

On this antique postcard we see the German Composer, Pianist and Organist Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847) and the birthplace in Hamburg. In his short life he compose many hundreds of works and some of this are in the repertoire until today in the concert halls all over the world.

hi jack i love you im so glad you enjoy my recommendations so far. sorry i didn't answer this earlier last weekend i had migraines. this is my second try at writing this the first time it started with a long explanation about symphonic form and then my tab crashed and it got deleted which i'm taking as a sign to just shut up and get onto listing pieces instead of yapping on

anyway here are some more pieces i really like

dvorak symphonies no. 8 and no. 9 "from the new world". 9 is my favorite symphony ever but 8 is also probably in my top 5

beethoven symphonies. just all of them. 8 is my favorite but they're all good

haydn symphonies no. 100 "military", no. 103 "drumroll", and no. 4 "london"

Saturday, 12-14-24, 7pm Pacific

'Evenin', everyone, Mr. Baggins back with some music to soothe your achin' nerves and help ease us all into a good night. We start the evening off with a performance of that little minuet in the middle of that Boccherini Quintet, a different performance than we heard before, this one by the leaderless and bad-ass Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Hearing this in a large-orchestra setting is infinitely better, imho.

A nice little prelude to our next work! We turn to the music of Boccherini of Italy to Schubert's "Overture in The Italian Style in C Major, D. 591, performed by Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting the Staatkapelle Dresden, recorded in 1967.

From Schubert's Italian Overture to Mendelssohn, who wrote a symphony about Italy. Here is one of my favorite performances of Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4 in A Major, Op. 90, The "Italian" Symphony, recorded on February 28, 1954. The NBC Symphony is conducted by the legendary Arturo Toscanini just two months before his final concert and retirement.

As a bit of an italian encore, here's Our Favorite Canuck with his absolutely definitive 1959 recording of Bach's Italian Concerto.

This next piece is a first prelude to what will be our final work this evening, and it's also one of my favorite Beethoven pieces for Piano and Orchestra. We hear Rudolph Serkin at the piano, The NYPO with Lenny at the helm, and The Westminster Choir, Warren Martin directing, in Beethoven's Choral Fantasia in C minor, from the classic Columbia recording from 1962.

And as a second prelude to our final work this evening, we hear a very YOUNG Rudolph Serkin with violinist Adolph Busch in Schubert's Fantasy in C Major for Violin and Piano, D934. This is a historic recording from 1931!

Next we hear three little duets for Clarinet and Bassoon by a very young Beethoven, his Works-without-opus No. 27

Aren't those delightful? Next we hear Horowitz' 1952 recording of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5, the "Emperor" Concerto, with Fritz Reiner (!) conducting. They made TWO recordings together, and we'll hear the other soon, but tonight we hear the most divine recording of the Emperor ever made.

That makes quite the regal introduction to our final big work this evening, The Mighty Ninth, not just any 9th, but the ULTIMATE NINTH, the recording made in 1989 after the fall of The Berlin Wall, IN Berlin, with cream of the crop musicians recruited from all over...and Lenny, of course LENNY changed the words in the Ode To Joy to Ode To Freedom. Sit back for the next hour and a half and soak it all in. You're welcome.

And with that our program draws to a close. I do hope you've enjoyed our somewhat Italian somewhat Beethoven selections for the evening, and possibly heard something brand new to your ear. This is Mr. Baggins signing off for the evening. I'll return at 8am Pacific with our Morning Coffee Music.

Until then, dream sweet dreams, babies, dream sweet dreams.

Baggins out.

Barbie movie post, ig

The most emotional part for me was after the movie was over, and just, thinking back to how I used to play with Barbies with my sister, before I knew I was trans. And like, those memories of playing with those dolls are so precious to me. We would fight because I would want our dolls to have superpowers, and she would want them to be normal high school girls. We had our one Ken doll who’s pants would never stay up and we named him David and he was always working with the bad guys for some reason and he was always my favourite part of the games.

We didn’t have many fancy dresses for our dolls to wear to balls and stuff so I would take scrap fabric and try to wrap them in a way that they would look like fancy dresses so that they could go the the parties. I was like, a fairy godfather, but the dresses were always a little lumpy and ugly, but I tried so hard to make them for these dolls. Now my sister is the seamstress.

My grandpa had the biggest dollhouse in his basement, all handmade and wooden and I would arrange the furniture so carefully, lining up the tiny wooden books so carefully, and when they inevitably fell like dominos, I would just line them up again. I remember once when I was older, I was visiting and when I woke up and walked into the room where the dollhouse was, there was a little boy playing there with them (He was a relative of mine I didn’t know very well,) and we just, played barbies together. I set up the furniture for him. I remember him asking if I was a girl or a boy. I don’t really remember where in my transition I was at, but I remember he didn’t really care about the answer that much. I would play barbies with my cousins when I was younger, in that same dollhouse. It was a hotel most of the time I think. I remember we used to laugh so much together.

Me and my sister used to watch the movies together too. Especially the 12 dancing princesses. That one was my favourite. We would divide all 12 princesses between us, I would get 6 and she would get 6, and whenever one of our princesses was on screen we had to copy their dance moves. That was my idea, I think. Turns out I have ADHD. That movie is also why I love Mendelssohn so much. When I started learning the Italian Symphony clarinet excerpt in like, grade 9, I told my teacher it was the 12 dancing princesses chase scene music. That’s still how I think about it.

There’s something so precious about that time for me, my Barbie era. When I look back on that time, I mostly just think about my sister. Partly because she still loves barbies so much. But it was maybe the time I felt closest to her. Our silly little bickering about what type of adventures our dolls should go on. Who got to be which dancing princess. At the time I don’t think I knew how important those moments were.

The most important part of the movie for me was remembering how me and my sister used to play with Barbies. The world is so much more complicated now than it was when we used to play, and I have changed so much since then. I mean, I’m not her big sister anymore, but her big brother, and that has changed how we interact, even if just a little bit. But I guess the barbie movie reminded me of just how much I love my sister.

Academic work gives me no pleasure and I am dealing with it right now. I have, in fact, been, since February.

Almost crying, I turned to my music this morning --

And Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3 in G (KV 216) is a miracle in any circumstances: link

As is Arcangelo Corelli’s Concerto Grosso No. 9 in F Major, Op. 6: link

And George Frideric Handel’s The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba: link

And, of course, the most delightful Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s Symphony No. 4 "Italian" in A major Op. 90: link

OTD in Music History: Legendary composer, conductor, organist, and pianist Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847) tragically dies of a stroke, at the age of just 38, in Leipzig. A living legend in his own lifetime, Mendelssohn remains one of the most frequently-performed composers of the early Romantic Era. Mendelssohn's varied compositional output encompasses symphonies, concertos, piano music, organ music, art songs, and chamber music. His best-known works include the "String Octet" (written when he was just 16) the "Overture To A Midsummer Night's Dream" (written when he was just 17), the "Italian" (1834) and "Scottish" (1842) Symphonies, the "St. Paul" (1836) and "Elijah" (1846) Oratorios, and his 1st Piano Trio (1839) and Violin Concerto (1844). Mendelssohn's voluminous collection of "Songs Without Words" also remain perennial solo piano classics, and his Christmas carol "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!" is always a popular favorite. Mendelssohn is also generally credited with having helped to spark revived widespread interest among the concert-going public in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750), thanks in large part to his landmark performance of (a highly-edited and completely-rescored version of) Bach's “St Matthew Passion” in 1829. One of the most influential and important conductors of his time, Mendelssohn’s ten visits to Britain exerted a particularly profound and lasting impact on the development of musical culture in that country. PICTURED: A modern plaster copy of the "death mask" that was made shortly after Mendelssohn passed away. The creation of death masks was a common practice throughout much of Europe until the early 20th Century, and particularly so before the advent and widespread popularization of commercial photography.
