Jean-Féry Rebel, 'Le Cahos' from Les Elémens (1737) - the best figured bass, bar none
Fascinating paper on the luthéal by Elisabeth Salvedra - instrument used by #Ravel in Tzigane & L’enfant et les sortilèges. Suggestion that Ravel preferred the fake instrument to the ‘real’ cimbalom or harpsichord @royalbirmcons.bsky.social
YAY! Thank you!
Birthday card spotted in Birmingham Foyles. Oh dear
TAILLEFERRE KLAXON #UniversityChallenge
#Ravel First Violin Sonata (Sonate posthume), first performed by Georges Enescu and Ravel in 1897-8 but not published until 1975. Absolutely love this piece: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD6g...
#Tailleferre played by Orchestre Pasdeloup in Paris on 11 April - her Harp Concertino and a piece I've not heard, L'Homme notre ami - and I'll be in town at the time! sallegaveau.com/event-pro/pa...

Grumpy animal statues and a bisected horse. Barrage Vauban #Strasbourg, currently being renovated
The ridiculously picturesque Petite France #Strasbourg
#Liszt got everywhere, including this building in #Strasbourg when he was 12 - his first public concert in France 🇫🇷🇭🇺🎹
Loving being back in #Strasbourg where I lived for a year as a student on the fifth floor of this building, 27 rue du Dôme, overlooking the cathedral
Patisserie novelties in Saint-Louis: green apple, French kiss 🇫🇷🍏💋
#Basel is generally a very polite sort of city, but then there's also this exuberantly bearded figure sticking his tongue out
#Boulez preface to published version of 'Antiphonie' (Third Piano Sonata): 'The devil for me is hidden in a labyrinth'
#Basel looking splendid this late afternoon
Waking up in Saint-Louis (France), heading to Basel (Switzerland) and can see the border from my window. I will never not get excited by crossing a land border on foot

Congratulations! 🎉🍾
Great to see Marche gaie by Lili #Boulanger performed in London on 4 March @royalphilorchestra.bsky.social @cadoganhall.bsky.social - sorry I can't go. Here's a picture of her: the big furry dog (Fachoun) was hers www.rpo.co.uk/whats-on/eve...
New podcast: talking about #Satie #Vexations with Andrew Brixey-Williams. I liked our conversations about performing the piece (around 16'50" and 22'30"): open.spotify.com/episode/6nyK...
