WYSIWYG

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

The second birthday composer this month is Pablo de Sarasate, born on the 10th of March, 1844, in Pamplona, Spain. He was a virtuoso violinist who also wrote some striking music for his instrument. I did find videos by Itzhak Perlman and Teo Gertler (aged 11 at the time, and 11th of March, baby) playing the Zigeunerweisen, but I have opted for this one. Given the dearth of female representation in the composing lists, let's go, yay for virtuosity in performance!
