I hope it was a good week for you and you can enjoy the weekend. We have an additional holyday this Monday, Assumptio Beatae Mariae Virginis (Ger., Eng.), which is very welcome. August normally is meant to be a quiet and easy going month with all people on holydays, enough parking space in the town centre and crowd free shops. This year it’s a bit different.
Rosalyn TURECK (Ger., Eng.) (1913-2003) shows the relentless, even grim, beauty of Bach’s music. I hope you enjoy it. BTW one of her teachers was Leon THEREMIN (Ger., Eng.) (1896-1993), she even played the instrument he invented at Carnegie Hall.

A prelude to a fag in the garden…

I thought she was going to play it on the Theremin! Now I have to go play some Switched On Bach.
Enjoy your day off.
Puff away!
I did not know it, LX. I think I’ll write a little, or maybe go out on the countryside.
Yes, go outside as much as possible now. Winter will be coming all too soon. Fresh air is good for body and soul.

Liked music. Go outside don’t sit at desk as you have found out it is not good to sit t desk too long.
Lovely! Thank you for sharing this… And with such a talented interpreter too. Have a lovely evening!
I hope you enjoy the weekend too, Mago, and that your comfort level is steadily increasing. Getting out into the countryside would be a lovely thing to do with an extra day off.
I love theremin music so moody and atmospheric. Are you familiar with the work of Clara Rockmore?
I do enjoy Mr Bach. Miss Rosalyn does him justice.
Enjoy your long weekend
Don’t speak about winter please – it’s in the middle of August!
You are right, dear Joyce, but I have to sit here still for a while …
Hello Guilie, welcome, and thank you for your first comment here! I have to catch up with your writing!
The extra day came and (nearly) went – and of course it all went into another direction, Ponita, but it was not a bad one!
Welcome, Pirate, and thank you for your first comment! I have no idea about Clara Rockmore – I will search for her asap!
A friend and professional piano player once saied, that playing Bach allows absolutely no legato, tone next to tone. And I think that’s what Miss Rosalyn does here.
Oh my, you’ve been visited by Mr. Nude Infomaniac.
And I feel honoured!
