What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Our third birthday boy is Baldassare Galuppi, 8th October 1706, Venice. ...OMG... how can I not have been aware of this amazing composer?! There were several pieces I could have brought you, but this fairly short item captures something truly magical... do you agree?

  1. Ahhh, so very beautiful! I hear a lot of this composer when I listen to aroque programs. There is an Italian internet radio station (Venice classical) that often plays pieces by him.
    Thanks for this soothing interlude in my evening.

  2. Hi Yam - definitely a delight to hear this morning ... thank you - cheers Hilary. PS I see he came from the island of Burano, Venice, that was known for its lacework and brightly coloured homes - always more to learn ...

  4. I think you have made my morning, YAM. I was unaware of this composer and his music, but if this short piece is representative of his work then bring on more! It is beyond delightful. I shall be seeking out more. Congratulations to the pianist for delicate technique, too.
