Maestro Yehudi Menuhin conducted Beethoven .

This is not a warm-up before a performance; Menuhin conducted Beethoven's 5th Symphony in this stance at the concert to mark the 100th anniversary of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in 1982.

Thank you FB @Christophe Germanique

Sparkstember Day 3:

Today I pulled out my rare import copy of Menuhin Conducts Mael, which some cynically deride as a cash-grab to capitalize on his name-drop on Amateur Hour. However Yehudi pulls out all the stops on this one—worth tracking down for his interpretation of Goofing Off alone!

50, 100 and 200 for the mini reviews? ✨️ congrats on your reading year!

Thank you!! These are all mysteries, lol. I already like the genre, and this year in particular I was trying out a lot of different mystery series.

#50 was Broken English by P. L. Gaus. It's book two in a mystery series. It's set in Amish country in Ohio, and there's three characters especially - the sheriff, a professor, and an Amish pastor - who have all known each other a long time and work together to solve the mystery (in this book, a girl's murder). The mystery wasn't bad, but I wasn't particularly drawn to any of the recurring characters in the series, and it was a little dark and also sensational for me (the kind of thing where the murderer can't be caught without a chase and/or a shoot-out) so I stopped reading the series after this one!

#100 was Crime and Punctuation, by Kaitlyn Dunnett. First in a mystery series! This is a cozy series with an older woman protagonist, so I liked the way she was a little Marple-ish in her gathering of information, but also not helpless. The mystery hung together but wasn't super convoluted. I read a few more in this series, which isn't very long yet, and would probably pick it up again if in the right mood! The books do start to get kind of similar pretty quickly.

#200 was Murder at Melrose Court, by Karen Baugh Menuhin. The others in this post were library books; this was a book I picked up at a little free library just by chance. It looks self-published, which I admit made me go in with low expectations, but it was actually pretty good! The back says it's Agatha Christie meets Wodehouse, which seems about right: it's the 1920s in England, several people get snowed into a manor house (for Christmas - I read this recently and it was accidentally very seasonal), murder happens, the young Lord who is the protagonist decides to solve it. I don't think it's a book that I will keep forever, but I'm glad I read it once! (And it seems to be first in a series, so I might seek out more.)

(send me a number between 1 and 214 and I will tell you about a book I read this year!)
