Day 54

So, I'm back. Sorry been away (physically for some of it, mentally for all of it) and haven't had much time to listen. Now that things are starting up with a more predictable schedule I am planning on actually doing something I enjoy, listening to classical music (what! who said that!).

Side One:

Pieces: Harpeggio E Fuga in G Major;

Parthie (Suite) in G Minor;

Sonata Septima

Composer: Johann Josef Fux

Performer: Michael Thomas, Clavichord

Record Date: None Given

Side Two:

Pieces: Capricio in G Minor;

Ciaconna in D Major

Composer: Johann Josef Fux

Performer: Michael Thomas, Clavichord

Record Date: None Given

I love keyboard music, especially baroque keyboard music; you can take your focus and completely divert it to something else while the record plays and still enjoy the music. Not that I would ever do anything like this (*cough* taxes *cough*), but really, sometimes you just want good background music. I'm not saying that these pieces only make good background music, rather they worked well as such today. In all honesty I've mentally marked this recording for a further listen. I found the Clavichord an interesting change from the piano and some of Fux's ideas deserving of a second listen. So, if you you're in the mood for a little know Austrian baroque composer who wrote pieces for instruments rarely played these days, or if you need to file your taxes, these may be the pieces for you.

Until we meet again, I have receipts to find.
