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.
Menoizikul; Midweek Musicalisms
To round off the birthday boys of November, we have Charles-Valentin Alkan, born on 30th November 1813, in Paris, France. I confess, I find this composer's work tough on the ear. As many of the clips playing this ouevre also display the manuscripts, it can be seen how obsessed he was with cramming in as many notes as possible. Perhaps seeking to out-Beet Beethoven?!! By all means, if this appeals to you, then go in search. Here is just a taster, done with mirth and respect to the fact that to learn any piece of music, one must do so one note at a time.
