And as far as Genius goes, one of my all time favourites. Straight tempo, but only 5 musical elements, about 15 minutes long, and it doesn't get boring. The snare drum part has to be one of the hardest parts in the entire classical music literature.

 

 

I so appreciate how this performance features a series of solos. The buffoon solo at 1:49 is especially refreshing . . .

Not just the performance. That is the gag with the whole composition. One melody that is repeated by various different instruments, then combinations thereof. And the whole time that snare drum, getting gradually louder the whole time.

 

And the buffoon is one of my favourite instruments. Would love to learn it, but I hear it is really hard to play.

I really thought I would push your Too Serious Button (like you did mine on the Redneck Jazz  thing ) with the

buffoon <--> bassoon  play-on-words, but it seems it fell flat.

Playing the buffoon comes rather too easily to me . . .

That gets better. The thing is called a Fagott in German. Not entirely fair, I feel.

And then this popped up. Don't know why.

 

A most dear friend, who has passed now, arranged a bass line for me to accompany his lead guitar/vocals on that song.

It means so much more to me now thinking of him, "Wish You Were Here " . . .

Doing a little digging, you have to Know some of their other work to really appreciate these.

Worked for me.

The key to access is to lead a sin-free life.

P.S.  When I say that sort of thing to Kathi, she leaves the room because she says she does not want to be in striking distance of the lightning bolt headed my way.  So far, so good, but that's probably only because God has a sense of humor.
