PDQ Bach was hilarious, I especially enjoyed the final movement of his “Variations on an Unusually Simple-Minded Theme for Piano and Orchestra, S. 1” … ah, that was great! They did a fair amount of visual jokes as well, so the humor did not come entirely from the music, as it might on one of his albums, so seeing him in concert was a much different experience… probably even a better experience.
On June 29 and 30, the National Symphony Orchestra is playing the good old “Video Games Live” concert… I’d love to go see that, who wants to come?
I’m on page 426 of Roots of the Classical and I’ve got one chapter left to read. Almost to the end! And then I have at least 20 quotes to put up… though I might skip some to save time.
