Brahms' Capriccio op. 116
and check this out, Corno, I was listening to Rachmaninoff's Moments Musicaux as well - great minds think alike, i say. But I was listening to my cousin's, Ms. Rubinova's, performance of it.

As per my Mozart explanation, lols, yeah I agree. My father made me a bunch of cds with classical music so that I would play them for the baby (Mozart being among them)- I honestly don't even know the names of the pieces on it ;)

Aloha Muza,

Would that be Zlata Rubinova who attended the Moscow Conservatory?

WOW! I am happily amazed that we had both listened to "Rach's Moments" - Yes, you have a virile mind - The music of JSBach and Rachmaninoff, as you probably know, is the music which my wife and I hold dearest to our hearts - Yes, their music surrounds us whilst we *procreate* :p:grin::):D

Thank you for so patiently sharing that your father had made you a bunch of Cd's for you.

Here's a tip I think might work for you(maybe you know it already) - Pop the Cd into your Cd/DVD driver - If you have itunes on your machine, the database for itunes(I believe its *GraceNote*) will probably discover the names of those pieces on those Cd's.

Cheerio,

CD :tiphat::tiphat::tiphat:

Ps: Ooops - almost forgot - Today we listened to Rachmaninoff's complete *Etudes-Tableaux* played by Vladimir Ovchinnikov.

Aloha CD,

Not Zlata Rubinova. Evgenia Rubinova, and she attended Gnesin Academy in Moscow, not that it matters.

Somehow, the iTunes doesn't retract info for those tracks, which is strange, because it was a copy of an official CD, not a self-made compilation. But anyhow, it is possible to find that info online, I just don't want to do it now.

For today - I was just browsing for ideas above and ended up listening to:

Miserere - Grigorio Allegri. Part 1 and 2
Handel - Messiah (selections)
Vivaldi - Gloria (selections)
Mozart - Ave Verum Corpus

Paul Hindemith--Ludus Tonalis, Hans Petermandl--piano.

I really enjoy this piece and I like the recording, but apparently he plays some wrong accidentals/chords. Not that I would know because it's the only recording I've heard of the piece, and the harmonies are so non-standard that I probably wouldn't hear the difference with another recording.

I listened to the J. S. Bach: Sonatas & Partitas for Solo Violin performed by Bogdan Zvoristeanu out on Dinemec Classics.

It really is fantastic, its the first time that the complete set has been recorded since the great lord Yehudi Menuhin recorded it in the 1930's. Needless to say, its also one of the most challenging & technical bodies of work to perform.

well worth a listen. Its available online
