Franz Liszt died in Bayreuth on this day in 1886. So here's a film of Louis Kentner playing the second (Italian) book of Années de pèlerinage at a recital in London in the 1960s. This is just utterly wonderful.

Thank you. Fascinating list. Made me smile to see so much Balzac and Maupassant.

Where did you get WB list from?

It did take me some time to gather and read all the Maigret novels but it was worth it.

I think what No More Marking is using with AI has great value as it privileges the teacher's feedback.

DOE Warning: Students Risk Future Without AI Skills and Literacy (And they are Right) Those who good listeners and demonstrate empathy will be least exposed to job loss.

My question is, if AI is transitioning to AGI at the rate being suggested, how can we be sure that the durable skills we are being asked to teach will not be absorbed into AGI?
