S-a descoperit o partitura a lui Mozart!

Acum aproape doi ani (in februarie 2007). Am mai durat ceva timp pana cand a fost autentificata ca apartinand lui Mozart si pana a fost descifrata, iar ieri a fost cantata pentru prima data in public de Daniel Cuiller, directorul ansamblului baroc Stradivaria din Nantes. Daca sunteti curiosi sa auziti cum suna, here you go:

Saturday Noon Concert (18): Beethoven – Piano Sonata No.18 in Eb, Op.31, No.3 ‘The Hunt’

We don’t know why this sonata is called ‘The Hunt’, but it wasn’t Beethoven’s idea. Anyway, would you believe that the guy who wrote the Fifth Symphony is the same guy who wrote something as playful and happy as this? 🙂 If you don’t know what we mean, listen for yourself:

We want to thank Bunji Hisamori for his kind permission to post the above audio rendering on our blog. The midi file was downloaded from The Classical Music Archives. The previous sonatas from this series are here.

Prima galerie de fotografie de arta din Bucuresti – Karousel

Se afla pe langa Piata Dorobanti, pe strada George Calinescu, la numarul 5A. O sa se deschida maine. Nu stim la ce ora, dar programul normal al galeriei e intre 11 si 8 seara in timpul saptamanii (intre 11 si 4 dupa-amiaza sambata), asa ca probabil pe la 11.

La inceput o sa aiba vreo suta de fotografii (in fiecare luna va adusa alta colectie de fotografii in galerie). Printre fotografii romani care expun la Karousel (fiindca sunt si straini) se afla Dragos Lumpan (fotograf la National Geographic Romania), Cosmin Bumbut, Alexandru Paul, Alex Gilmeanu, Cristian Crisbasan si Cornel Lazia. Fotografiile vor putea fi cumparate in mai multe variante (print, montate pe suport de aluminiu, inramate) dar vor fi vandute in editii limitate (intre 20 si 50 de exemplare).

LE: Galeria Karousel are si un site, dar deocamdata nu e nimic acolo.

Saturday Noon Concert (17): Beethoven – Piano Sonata No.17 in D-, Op.31, No.2 ‘Tempest’

Beethoven’s biographer Anton Schindler said that this sonata was inspired by Shakespeare’s play The Tempest. This claim is, however, disputed by other music scholars (see here).

That aside, the first part may remind you of a storm, but the second doesn’t seem to have anything to do with weather, being a bit boring. The third, on the other hand, is quite lyrical and very beautiful and if you haven’t heard it already, then you should, ’cause you’ll like it a lot. Or not, but in that case you don’t like classical music. 🙂

Enjoy your listening:

Saturday Noon Concert (15): Beethoven – Piano Sonata No.15 in D, Op.28

This sonata was called (by Beethoven’s publisher) the Pastoral, maybe due to its sense of tranquility and simple joy. Gramo’s favourite is the last part, which escapes this calm atmosphere, without becoming dark. Happy listening (and happy holidays, btw):

The midi file rendered by Gramo here was created by Bunji Hisamori, who has kind enough to give us the permission to post it on our blog. The file was downloaded from The Classical Music Archives. Here are the other “concerts” from this series.

p.s.: For a short, but interesting analysis of this sonata’s musical structure you may read this post.

Saturday Noon Concert (14): Beethoven – Piano Sonata No.14 in C#-, Op.27, No.2 ‘Moonlight’

Today we’ll be listening to Beethoven’s most famous piano sonata, the Moonlight. Although the first part is beautiful, it doesn’t suit Gramo’s personality, so the last part is our favourite. Enjoy your listening:
