Let's see, there must 1000 + 1 examples.
Receding hairlines are a trend and wigs were a fad.
Rock and roll is a trend, the Beatles were a fad.

I will be the first one to say that J.S. Bach is my favorite overall composer, Partita No.2, Chaccone is my favorite piece, but what specifically makes his music great, influential, and worth all the…Continue

I was asked by a ballet company if I would consider writing a 30 minute prelude of "ambient, moody, and deep music" for the premier of a performance the first week of December. The piece I came up…Continue

Dave Dexter replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"And many adults. I'll stick up for those who claim therapeutic effects, it's not a device/toy that can be so easily categorised as "8-14 yr old fad" though I suspect I am in scant company with this perspective. I have one of them…"
"These things have been selling out at all the 'stop and go' type marts.
They are a fad with the 8 to 14 yr. olds.
They sell for anywhere between $7.49 and $11.89 USD.
There are now many 'copycat' versions, even some w/ LEDS.

Mike Hewer replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"lol- if it is a dongle for VSL, I hope he's insured it. Looks more like one of those mini baroque drones he used to check his wife wasn't having an affair with Vivaldi."
Socrates Arvanitakis replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach":-) looks like a security door key to a troubled urban ghetto housing estate, or is it a dongle for Vienna Sound Library? (either that or I miss it completely, Fred)."
"Hi Mike, the operative word for me there was choose .
My point was more directed at enhancing the listening experience
as opposed to just hearing the music.
I also wouldn't wear a black Tux, even with brown shoes, to a…"
Mike Hewer replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"As to say,I wouldn't choose to listen to a Chopin Nocturne while having breakfast. RS
Roger,
Funny how we all perceive music, I would listen to Chopins' nocturnes at breakfast and be moved. I've also had to practice those pieces…"
Bob Porter replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"Sure, lower neck projection and gut strings alone create a much different sound than modern instruments. Interesting, though, that gut strings on a modern instrument do not provide a remarkably different sound. More mellow, to be sure.
Those were…"
"Mr Arvanitakis, my vote will go for the guitar rendition. J W's
I found it more relaxed and suited to the piece.
I felt the violin was a bit 'forced' and I could not relate to that intepretation.
Granted, much music appeals to…"
Socrates Arvanitakis replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"Thanks Bob for your random thoughts, quite well thought out, I thought.
I agree with a lot of what you say, that's why I don’t object to the rest stroke (apoyando) in playing baroque pieces on the guitar. The thing is that I, like you,…"
Bob Porter replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"Well, we know precious little about Baroque performance techniques. Very little was written about it at the time, much less passed down to us. In the case of Bach's music there is some we don't even know what instrument it was written for.…"
Socrates Arvanitakis replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"@ Fred and Mike
Excellent choice, Fred! Immersive performance from beginning to end, but very transparent bringing out of all variations over the ever present theme. Thanks for pointing this direction.
Mike, regarding variation 40, I…"
Mike Hewer replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"Great post Socrates.
It's a win win really for the listener, two beautiful performances of 1 piece. I have Grumiaux playing this because it was recommended by almost every violinist I asked, but this performance is gorgeous.
A performer most…"
Socrates Arvanitakis replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"I'm having another look at the piece with which Rodney initiates this thread stating that it is one of his best, the Chaconne in Dm from partita no. 2 for solo violin. It was definitely one of my best pieces also, when I was a serious classical…"
Socrates Arvanitakis replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"Mike, I think we have the same Tortelier edition probably. I also have picked it up 2nd hand from a music store. It contains the complete Bach MS and the modern print version by Tortelier, actually giving two alternatives for the 5th suite, one with…"
Mike Hewer replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"I have the Tortelier edited version (found it in a charity shop for £2). Talk about micro managing, nuances in phrasing are marked in with elaborate squiggles and lines. You need to learn a legend of upturned curves which when used, will…"

Al Johnston said… Thanks for the invite, Rodney. I was quite impressed by your Sins of the Old Testament pieces. Dance of the Golden Calf was quite beguiling. I'm currently listening to BelgianComposer's new Double Bass Sonata (http://youtu.be/c4wIy1qyf1E). Check his Youtube channel out. I haven't run across him elsewhere, but his work is consistently first rate. Again, thanks for your work.
