So I’m playing Mother 3 and there’s this ghost-conductor boss guy who I can’t beat, who fights you while playing Beethoven’s 5th and Mozart’s 40th. I thought it was sad
Aw. The first theme Mozart’s 40th is one of the most iconic and arresting melodies ever. Also appropriately … haunting.
A personal favorite.

BBC - Great Composers: Bach (1997)
Very pleased to be able to spend the last precious moments of the date with this BBC documentary on Bach. Been busy but it’s a happy accompaniment to my general level of reverence for this greatest of all composers.

Antonin Dvořák - String Quartet No.12 in F “American”: I. Allegro ma non troppo
Sippin’ coffee and reading essays on the Federalist papers while listening to Dvořák’s American quartet. No shame in my Americana game.

John Adams - Harmonium
I can confidently say that “John Adams’ notation is what I thought it was.”
… That was a terrible joke for all the Football / Modern American Composer cross over fans out there.
On a more serious note, as a HUGE fan of John Adams work and this piece in particular, I highly encourage you to click here for some BRILLIANT material from a hero of American music.

(Jakob Ludwig) Felix Mendelssohn (Bartholdy) - Elijah Oratorio - No. 9 “Blessed are all they that fear him.” / “Wohl dem, der den Herren fürchtet”
Bad news:
- I had to bail on some really promising social engagements tonight.
Good news:- My motion for summary judgment /supporting memorandum is… less shitty than before.
- I have rediscovered the genius of Mendelssohn’s “Elijah” Oratorio.
- Whiskey retains its special charm as an evening’s company otherwise spent alone.
