    Speaking of Haydn, I tuned into the local Classical Music station to the last two movements of Haydn's 1st Violin Concerto. I found the slow movement to be very interesting.

      Just listening to Mozart's Misericordias Domini, K. 222. It was written when Mozart about nineteen, yet you can distinctly hear the germ of Beethoven's Ode to Joy theme about 50 seconds in.
      It's highly unlikely that Beethoven ever heard this work as it was obscure enough even in Mozart's time. It still gave me a bit of a shock when I heard it.
      It's easy to find on YouTube.

        This morning I listened to Haydn's Symphonies A and B. I was not aware these existed but were a part of the complete collection.

              Only one choice of listening today, the 200th anniversary of the premiere of The Ninth.
              I picked Ansermet and the Suisse Romande.

                  She seems to be sitting very low at the piano. Kind of like Glenn Gould. I also like to sit low at the piano, and I've had more experienced players tell me that's not good. But I guess it works for some excellent pianists!

                    Yes, I was taught to sit fairly low but not like Gould. My elbows are fairly level with the keyboard.
