Happy Birthday

I would like to raise a virtual glass to two of my personal favorite musicians whose birthday fall on this day!

To Pyotr Tchaikovsky!

To Johannes Brahms!

    Well our oldest son loves Brahms and I am a big Tchaikovsky fan so this is practically a holiday. To celebrate we listened to both composers for several hours today. I didn't raise a glass of anything today but if I did it probably would have been something with vodka. ;-)

    May the Earth rest lightly upon you gentlemen and may we never lose the capacity to appreciate your works.

    I thought about the Brahms Requiem a few days ago when comparing concerts with longish programs with some colleagues. I'm currently playing a short series of Bach B Minor Mass concerts, and that work alone runs about two hours and fifteen minutes or so.

    Brahms has the honor of being one of very few nineteenth century composers I really like.

    Anyway, belated flask-raising to them both.
