at the end of rehearsal too while i was packing up one of the conducting students came over to me and asked if i was interested in playing for his informal lunchtime concert series he recently started up. i was like sure but i don't have anything prepared to play, but i guess i could do something in the future. and then he asked if me and the principal oboe would play something together and i was like well if we had something to play sure, maybe next spring sometime. and then i mentioned to him that we're attempting to get a wind quintet going (need to find a bassoon first) so if that gets off the ground we could probably play for him too. and he grinned and went "i want that"

@hockeymarriage we have a winner!! i’m impressed you read me so well?? i in fact play BOTH of these hehe

lmk who you want me to draw :)

if someone correctly guesses what orchestral instrument i play (based entirely on vibes) i will draw them a sketch of their fav nhler im serious

[cuddlytogas]

it's possible I made an extended playlist to give context to the classical (non-technically speaking) music in OFMD, with the pieces listed in historical/chronological order, and in the context of their full pieces (mostly - I'm not literally going to put entire operas on there, but symphonies and concertos have mostly been finished)

and it's possible that that playlist is ten hours long

and it's possible you can find it on spotify right now, and that below the cut is the full chronology

(edit: corrections welcome btw!!!! i am by no means a music historian, nor have any higher level music education, just a lifelong association and interest <3 if you know better than me, PLEASE let me know so it can be more accurate!)

N: most of the Vivaldi pieces don't really have any dates I could find, so they're just sort of scattered through the first few decades of the 18th century. and yes, technically the opening Corelli isn't in there, but I think putting another La Folia in is important for the context of s2!

Do I even NEED an introduction?

Hm, Well, Hello. I'm Antonio Vivaldi, the red priest, and the greatest composer of all time. As you should know, I wrote Le quattro stagioni (The Four Seasons), my most famous work. Part of Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione ("The Contest between Harmony and Invention"), it depicts moods and scenes from each of the four seasons. I also wrote more than 500 other concertos. About 350 of these are for solo instrument and strings, of which 230 are for violin, the others being for bassoon, cello, oboe, flute, viola d'amore, recorder, lute, or mandolin. About forty concertos are for two instruments and strings, and about thirty are for three or more instruments and strings. As well as about 46 operas, I composed a large body of sacred choral music, such as the Magnificat RV 610. Other works include sinfonias, about 90 sonatas and chamber music. Some sonatas for flute, published as Il Pastor Fido, have been erroneously attributed to me, but were composed by Nicolas Chédeville.

I go by any pronouns except she/her, and I'm aroace, so don't even try to Rizz me up (you'll fail anyway). Yes I'm autistic and yes I'm depressed. And yes I will speak some (poor) Italian here.

I'm the best composer, don't even try me. And yes, I hold grudges, every pretty boy does.

If you want to be removed/added to my tag list, please don't hesitate to tell me.

Friday, 11-22-24, 7pm Pacific

'Evenin', folks, Mr. Baggins back with you on this rainy Friday evening with a set sure to soothe your achin' nerves and help ease us all into a good night. I thought we might begin this evening with Lenny and The Vienna, from their definitive series of The Brahms Symphonies. Here is Symphony No. 3 in F Major, Op. 90, recorded live in 1981.

Here is pianist Clifford Curzon in another Piano Quintet, this one of Mozart, his Piano Quintet in G-minor, K478. Curzon performs with The Amadeus Quartet, in this historic recording from 1953.

Let's stay with Mozart a moment longer, with this absolutely divine recording by our Brazilian friend Guiomar Novaes and Hans Swarowsky conducting The VIenna. We hear Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 9, in E-flat Major, K271, nicknamed "Jeunehomme", recorded in 1953.

As an encore, let's hear Mme. Novaes play Mozart's popular Piano Sonata No. 11, in A Major, the "Turkish Rondo" Sonata, K331, from a Vox recording made in 1955.

And another beautiful little encore, here she is from November 16, 1958, playing, of all people, Gottschalk! This is his "Grande Fantasia Triunfal"

Let's move now to another of the Horn Concerti that Richard Strauss wrote for his father. We hear the Concerto No. 2 for Horn and Orchestra, played by horn legend Dennis Brain, with Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting The Philharmonia Orchestra, from 1956.

Now we hear the young Maestro Brain playing the Mozart Horn Quintet in E-flat Major, K407. He performs with Sidney Griller, Phillip Burton, Max Gilbert, and Colin Hampton. This was transcribed from a pristine 78 rpm Decca recording, from October of 1944.

Next we hear from our friends Neville and The Academy, with oboist Celia Nicklin, playing the divine Concerto for Oboe and Strings by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

We close this evening's program with another truly untouchable recording by soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf: here is her first recording of Richard Strauss' "Four Last Songs", with The Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Otto Ackermann, from 1953. It was this recording that made me fall in love with Schwarzkopf's amazing instrument. This version far outshines the later recording she made with Szell, imho.

I hope those four gorgeous songs left you with a smile and a warm heart as we head into the night. That's all the time we have for this evening's program; this is Mr. Baggins, signing off for this rainy Friday evening. I'll return at 8am Pacific with Morning Coffee Music.

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

Baggins out.

Ranking Shoma's programs

I've never been a big Shoma fan. Not that I don't recognise his talent but i've no particular emotional attachment to him.

I have a lot of respect for his body of work. I think he's probably the most musical skater out there, and since he moved to Lambiel i've started to really enjoy his programs. They don't always move me, I don't rewatch them often (besides one or two exception), but everytime I've watched him skate during competitions they usually leave me thinking "Damn... This is good..." Objectively great but not my skater.

That said, and since I love doing that, here are all Shoma's competitive programs, from his senior career, ranked from least to best, according to my tastes.

16 - Moonlight Sonata, choreo by Mihoko Higuchi (2018/2019 FS)

Yeah, this was a big miss and tbh it's not wonder Shoma's season went middlingly well and that he missed the podium at home Worlds. This program is just not good. The music is overplayed, the choreo is a cut and paste from Shoma and Mihoko's then well established style. Lots of jumps-crossover-jumps-some choreo that consists in looking intense while moving the arms. A miss.

15 - Turandot version 2, choreo by Mihoko Higuchi (2017/2018 FS)

I rewatched it recently and the music cut is just bad. Why you would cut the "vincero" part I have no idea but here it is. Shoma does a good job with it, but it's nowhere close to the first version of this program.

14 - Winter, choreo by Mihoko Higuchi (2017/2018 SP)

I just really really dislike Shoma's packaging from late 2017 to early 2019. It's just a lot of warhorse with really mid choreo. Shoma's musicality saves it but that's about it.

13 - Ladies in Lavender, choreo by Mihoko Higuchi (2016/2017 SP)

It's still intensely Shoma, and by that I mean skate on two feet and move your arms choreo but the music choice is better. At least it's not a warhorse.

12 - Turandot version 1, choreo by Mihoko Higuchi (2015/2016 FS)

Gets bonus points for including Gira La Cote in the music cut.

11 - Stairway to Heaven, choreo by Mihoko Higuchi (2018/2019 SP)

The step sequence is very nice and Shoma's musicaly makes this program.

10 - Great Spirit, choreo by Shae-Lynn Bourne (2019/2020/2021 SP)

Gets deduction points because of some truly bad costumes. Honestly a bit of a let down. The choreo feels far too safe for the music.

9 - Legends, choreo by Mihoko Higuchi (2015/2016 SP)

Much better than any other SP Mihoko choreographed for Shoma. The step sequence alone is more interesting than anything Shoma skated to for the following three seasons. Unexpected like.

8 - Timelapse, choreo by Kenji Miyamoto (2023/2024 FS)

In retrospect, Shoma's farewell FS. Not that great. I love Spiegel im Spiegel but the other piece of music left me cold. The choreo wasn't anything special too, but the performances, especially the NHK one, were absolutely magical.

7 - Bolero, choreo by Stéphane Lambiel (2021/2022 FS)

First of all Bolero gets too much hate from the fandom and y'all lack taste. It's a truly great piece of music and I can think of at least half a dozen warhorses that need to be banned before Bolero. (Romeo and Juliet, Experience, Exogenesis...).

Second of all Sholero goes hard. It is a bit empty at the beginning, but the relentless pace of the music makes for an exciting watch, and in case of a clean program, it's exhilarating. The step sequence at the end is outstanding. Doesn't place higher because the choreo sequence feels almost like an afterthought and honestly Stéphane and Shoma could do better.

6 - Gravity, choreo by Stéphane Lambiel (2022/2023 SP)

Did not enjoy it last season (I thought it wasn't a good fit for Shoma, it felt too much like a Lambiel program). Has grown on me a lot since then. It's the most Lambiel-y Shoma has ever skated and it's good that he did it. Variety! Some diversity in the steps. Makes us of the whole body, not just the arms.

5 - Oboe Concerto, choreo by Kenji Miyamoto (2021/2022 SP)

Quintessential Shoma in that it feels close to a Mihoko program, like Winter, or Ladies in Lavender, but is so so much better. More variety in the choreo. It makes us of the whole body, not just the arms.

Shoma's skating with it's outstanding musicality and uninterrupted flow is a perfect match for Baroque music.

4 - Dancing On My Own, choreo by David Wilson (2019/2020/2021 FS)

My greatest regret, regarding Shoma's career, is that he did not get more programs from Wilson. Imho, given how musical Shoma is, he would have been a perfect fit.

That said DOMO is perhaps the most emotionally loaded program out of them all. Shoma went through hell and high water with it, and when it was performed cleanly, it sang.

3 - Mea Tormenta, choreo by Kenji Miyamoto (2022/2023 FS)

Glorious, iconic, it's a program I don't think anybody but Shoma could have skated. Just stunning work all around, and one of the best men's programs in recent years.

2 - I Love You Kung Fu, choreo by Stéphane Lambiel (2023/2024 SP)

Shoma at his most raw, emotional and soft. Great, great music choice, just magic on the ice.

1 - Loco, choreo by Mihoko Hiiguchi (2016/2017 FS)

I don't know what that says of a skater, when their most successfull program happened during their second senior season, and they've been chasing that high ever since (looking at you Kaori's Piano).

In any case, Loco is as good as the fans say it is, and then some. It highlights all the best aspects of Shoma's skating (the performance, the passion, the musicality) while being absolutely unhinged. Truly one of the highs of the sport.

[supercantaloupe]

Can you recommend some favourite woodwind pieces? Like quartets and so on. Maybe something from the Haydn / Mozart era, or maybe not! I've been meaning to listen to more instrumental music. Thank you!

the haydn london trios (written for 2 flutes and cello but i've played it them on oboe before, chamber music of the period was often written to be played with interchangeable instruments; fl/vln/cello is also common)

adolphe deslandres pièces en quintette (mvt 1 2 3) (this is later romantic, not classical, but i have a fondness for it, plus i think it's lesser known)

beethoven oboe trio op 87 (mvt 1 2 3 4) and variations on la ci darem la mano

mozart oboe quartet (mvt 1 2 3)

mozart clarinet quintet (mvt 1 2 3 4)

strauss serenade for winds (also late romantic. includes brass but gd damn i love this piece)

dvorak serenade for winds (mvt 1 2 3 4) (i'm only really familiar w mvt 1 but it's dvorak so the rest of it has to be good too)

the telemann canonic sonatas (baroque, not instrument specific but this album is two flutes)

basically this whole album (oboe quartets by fiala and krommer) (can you tell what instrument i play yet)
