So they really compose with directions like that? What happened to good ol' allegrissimo?

Bethany Ryker:

Prestissimo! I posted a link to a PDF of the score, you can check that out, Robert!

Listener Robert:

This past Sun. AM, the guy on NewtRadio was playing a Bernstein concert-for-young-people in which he gave his opinion that what people meant by "classical" was better captured as "exact" composition. When did they get THAT exact?

Hmm...December 1930. Yeah, that was when Technocracy was new & popular, as I found out from following a link I think from a WFMU page recently.

No, wait, I think it was a link from a Looney Tune that referenced Technocracy.

Hi everyone who has just joined the program! Glad you are out there. If you want a throwback analog VALENTINE I got one for you. Send an email to me with your mailing address, and a custom WFMU actual paper message will reach you. bethany (at) wfmu (dot) org

An actual paper message? You mean an… “Alternative Fax?” *bows* *bows* *dodges thrown tomatoes* *bows* *bows*

Bethany Ryker:

Actual Paper. Edges slightly yellowed. Actual stamps. Pen. Maybe even stickers. Can't do candy, unfortunately.

It shouldn't be weird to me that I can hear recordings of Prokofiev himself playing his music, but it is...I mean, when I play Lt Kije Suite around Xmas I don't actually think of the guy going into recording studios. But obviously....

Always Love the selections Bethany. I use your archives to increase my knowledge of orchestrated music. I am tired of the same old overplayed A sides. I look at times for a more eccentric fare.

Thank you for the Debussy movement: I believe I've heard you playing this in the background a number of times and have been wanting to know what it is!
