Took lesson. Got along beautifully. My concerto won't do -- is an American Edition. Felt bum. Practiced. After dinner Mr. & Mrs. S. went out. Who should come but Harry Faerber. Stopped off between trains. Dee-lighted!
IN RITA'S DAY: Popular classical music that was published in 1911 is listed below. Could the concerto Rita bought be the one by Nielsen? It may be a coincidence because when I went to the Philharmonic yesterday, the final symphony on the program was by Nielsen (The four temperments). I liked it very much and had never heard of him. He was Danish.
- Joseph Achron - Hebrew Melody
- Frank Bridge - The Sea
- George Butterworth - Two English Idylls
- Frederick Delius - Summer Night on the River
- Reinhold Glière - Symphony No. 3 Ilya Murometz (completed)
- Enrique Granados - Goyescas
- Gustav Holst - Second Suite for Military Band in F
- Charles Ives - Requiem S. 333
- Nikolai Medtner - Sonata for Piano in E minor, Op. 25 no 2 "Night Wind"
- Nikolai Myaskovsky - Sinfonietta in A and Symphony No. 2 completed, Cello Sonata No. 1 (later revised in 1945) written.
- Carl Nielsen - Concerto for violin and orchestra
- Arnold Schoenberg - Sechs Kleine Klavierstücke
- Aleksandr Scriabin - Piano Sonata No. 6, Piano Sonata No. 7 written
- Igor Stravinsky - Petrushka
- Ethel Smyth - March of the Women
After church, got bundled up and went out to shovel off the deck. The snow was deep because I haven't cleared it since the first storm. Since we are supposed to get even more bad weather on Tuesday AND Wednesday, I thought I'd better clean it off. It exhausted me (or as Rita would say: "I was all in"). Mom made cookies and we did our art homework, which was taking a small object and drawing it 10 times larger. I did a push pin.
TODAY: The concerto Rita bought cost her 50 cents, which was significant. You would think it would be at least several dollars today, but you can actually download these old concertos for free because they are in the public domain. The Internet is an amazing thing that has changed things so much in just the last decade.
