Does anyone have any theories about Elgar's Enigma theme? Curiously, I happened to be playing Auld Lang Syne today, when the thought struck me that that might be its derivation. So I looked on the internet, and it seems that others have had similar ideas. Here's a YT video, with both tunes played together. The match isn't great, but Elgar could easily have modified the ALS tune to such an extent that it became unrecognisable.

As a devotee of Mozart's 4 horn concertos, I was delighted to discover recently this aria from Mitridate, which includes an obbligato horn part. It was composed when he was just 14yo - incredible!

Following a recent family bereavement, I've sought solace in religious music, particularly Mozart's. However, something else recently caught my attention. It's Michael Haydn's Requiem in C minor MH155, which is hugely impressive for someone whose fame as a composer has been almost completely eclipsed by his brother.

Yes, it is a very beautiful work, that I sang in my choir years ago, along with other less famous classical requiems like Eybler's.

This isn't a recent upload, but it's just so beautiful. It's Brahms's Clarinet Quintet arranged as a String Quintet. It feels like autumnal music, written by JB in the autumn of his life and is filled with nostalgia for the past. That's exactly how I feel right now, and just listening to it makes me well up with emotion. I actually prefer this voila version to the original clarinet version and it features the viola player Yuri Bashmet.

I wonder if any Pianophiliacs have invested in one of these? It's the Japanese Sinhakken piano without any black keys! Great for one particular Debussy piece, but otherwise, what's the point of it? And how do you know which is middle C? It must be quite tricky to navigate around such a keyboard.
