stonepicnicking_okapiIt's been more than a month since the last classical music post, so here's an update.
So far, my favourite has been Kodaly's Dances of Galanta. I have also liked Franck's Symphony in D minor and been impressed by Holst's The Planets. I am glad I listened to Elgar's Enigma Variations because of the joke in Good Omens about him and Liszt being the only composers in heaven.
Appreciation for and the nuances of most, however, have passed me by.
Brahms - Symphony No. 4
Debussy - Prelude to The Afternoon of a Faun
Elgar - Enigma Variations
Falla - Three Cornered Hat: Three Dances
Kodaly - Peacock Variations
Mahler - Symphonies No. 1 & 4
I have, however, done another nocturne piece, inspired by the first in a set of the nocturnes by the father of nocturnes, John Field. It is chapter 11 of A Little Night Music called I do without an answer [Sherlock Holmes (ACD), Holmes/Watson, 1015, Hurt/comfort. Massage. A case frustrates Holmes. Watson helps.] And here's the nocturne. It's very sweet.
