Brandenburg Concertos

September 20th, 2008  Posted at   Thinking

I’m listening to Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos and thinking how they bring Fall to mind.  Maybe it is the brass horns, but I just picture chilly mornings, crisp leaves, brilliant sunny afternoons and then smell of apples when I listen to them.

After that joyous music, I tried listening to Bruckner’s Symphony No. 5 which I usually enjoy (it sounds like Winter to me – all white snow and silver trees), but today it is just bugging me.  So, back to Bach.

  • On the subject of classical music, I read in the paper the other day that they've found a piece of new music from mozart. He's writing from the dead! heh
  • Bach's the best. The Goldberg Variations, played by Glenn Gould and recorded just before he died, are my favorite.
  • Thanks for mentioning the Goldberg Variations. I bought them (Glenn Gould's work) on Amazon and they are amazing!
