Well, hasn't this week just flown by. The older I get the faster the time seems to fly. Either that or I am just incredibly busy. I did manage to catch some rest last night after a rather long day of chores, errands, hunting, gathering, sharing and caring. My busy schedule continues this morning. Next up is the dreaded laundry chore. It only takes a couple of hours, but I have to go out to do it, so I find it hard to multi task when this chore comes up. It has to be done though, that or I go to work tonight bare ass naked. That might not necessarily be a bad thing, but a Friday truck night is not the venue to have my dangly bits dangling about unprotected, if you catch my drift. At any rate, busy or not, there is still time for the Music and the Men.
We continue our ersatz Violin Week and our exploration of the great Concerti and Sonatas written for this most versatile and expressive instrument. Today we feature the Music of Ludwig von Beethoven, who like Sibelius, Dvorak and Tchaikovsky, wrote only one Violin Concerto (in D Major, Opus 61). However, Beethoven also wrote 10 Violin Sonatas as well. As for his Violin Concerto, it is posted down below featuring a classic 1977 recording of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under a young Daniel Barenboim's baton with Pinchas Zukerman as the Violin Soloist. Over on my tumblr, Anne-Sophie Mutter and Lambert Orkis beautifully perform Beethoven's Violin Sonata Number 9, Opus 47 "Kreutzer" recorded live at the Theatre des Champs-Elysee in Paris.
Before I head off to begin yet again another busy day, I had better fulfill my passionate 'obligation' to share some Man Art with you. As this is Friday, it is time for some Fantasy Fuel to kick start the Weekend which you will find posted just below this post. Then today's Hottie of the Day! over on my tumblr, besides being a really cute Ginger Snap, begs you to ask the question, "A Penny for your Thoughts...". Now I gotta go get things done, be sure to tune in tomorrow for another Fabulous Liver Performance on the Saturday Evening Concert. Thanks for stopping in, until next time as always, Enjoy!
