Happy Monday!
A date that shall live in infamy…Happy Birthday, Anne!
We watched ‘Queen’s Gambit’ recently and liked it a lot. One of the scenes in it included a clip of a song by Gillian Hills – one of the hot French singers from the early sixties. She wasn’t actually French – she was born in Cairo to an English father and a Polish mother – such was World War II. She has appeared in a number of films including ‘Clockwork Orange’. This song of hers also appeared in another fairly recent show.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Somehow I missed that yesterday was the anniversary of the death (in 1791) of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – a musical genius. He composed more than 600 pieces in a wide variety of styles including many number one hits of the time. We all know some of his music although we may not recognize it as being Mozart. Here are a few pieces of his that I like and I hope you will too.
This amazing performance of Rondo Alla Turca
And this…Piano Sonata 16
Here is his Rondo in D Major
And now let’s have Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
How about the Overture to the Marriage of Figaro?
Amazing stuff, isn’t it? Which is your favorite? What would you have included? Let me know!
