M. Chopin always welcome to hear! Especially on drizzly evenings...

Good evening Bethany! And Stochastic 440ers!

Will there be Shostakovich?

JakeGould:

Hey, I asked for Chopin a few weeks back! Thanks!
Avatar 8:06pm
Bethany Ryker:

There will definitely be Shostakovich, as we go around the circle of 5ths and relative minor keys. I placed it prominently!

Matt from Springfield:

Kabalevsky--I haven't heard of him before, so that's another new lead for me from this show!

Circle those 5ths, surround them.

Ashkenazy! Make sure to annotate that one.

Speaking of Shostakovich, Keith Jarrett's treatment of the preludes and fugues is totally wonderful...

I missed the beginning. Er, it's a circle so.. ?
Archive re-beginnings later, perhaps set on 'loop'

Bethany Ryker:

Kept C major as the longest and most simple of the bunch. Couldn't stop listening to this one late at night.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:34pm
Matt from Springfield:

C major is the chord of Western civilization! Even if that's because I've been biased towards that through modern tuning, it is the most "beautiful" of the chords!

TR In MI:

Wow. That was beautiful. I don't think I've heard of Alkan before, will be seeking out more of him.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:38pm
maestroso:

That Shostakovich piece, with the fugue, was so much fun to play... haven't done it in years, must go back to it.

@earrie circle of fifths is a musical key thing: FCGDAEB
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:45pm
Matt from Springfield:

You could certainly do the 24 different composers, though you can't just play them in any order -- I like your sequencing and flow from one to another.

This show is amazing! Thank you! I'm a classical pianist and I can't tell you the joy it's given me to stumble upon this.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:50pm
Matt from Springfield:

Ah, thanks Bethany for annotating Ashkenazy as a pianist!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:54pm
maestroso:

Thank you Bethany! Only an hour so undivided attention is required for total enjoyment and musical education. Wonderful show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:54pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hey, I've heard this Rachmaninoff Prelude before! Great choice.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:55pm
Matt from Springfield:

@maestroso: I agree! I love that Bethany brings the WFMU treatment to Classical music, shining light on obscure, wonderful pieces and composers.

Thanks as ever, Bethany.

Thanks Bethany. Enjoyed the theme and the results!

earrie:

Thanks @gregg. Yep. I know- though not tonnes. Piano started me at me C decades ago. And F came in like a pop fly from left field after G or maybe after D?

Many thanks Bethany!
Always a pleasure here! Have a good night, everyone!
