Classic F.M

[warey4life]

Many years ago before smart phones, my clock radio used to switch on to classic FM every morning at 7am. I've moved to Radio 3 in recent years, and more recently Radio 3 Unwind, every morning from 6.00 to 9.00 is the mindful mix, which makes my long drives more bearable.

I could never get on with R3: a station where time seemed to slow down to a crawl then go backwards. Sometimes, in the past, i could find a concert to enjoy, at night usually, but Classic FM always had a banger or two to enjoy during the day and a concert at night so it became the channel of choice by default. The ads are annoying but you get used to them, like all the other channels these days.

Don't recall hearing that before: a reflective piece, like a Chopin étude.

R3, particularly in the evening and through the night gets quite eclectic. I still listen to Classic FM at home, but for some reason I don't like driving to it.

In 1791, Mozart’s opera “The Magic Flute” premiered in Vienna, Austria.

What many think is the greatest passage of music ever written. It comes in the middle of the last movement of Beethoven's final piano sonata, No. 32 (Opus 111), starting here at around 6 minutes 15 seconds and running through to about 12 minutes 15 seconds. It begins with Beethoven basically inventing boogie-woogie and jazz piano a century before anyone else, and then it melts into transcendence. And despite how complex it is, it remains incredibly easy to listen to:

Anders Hillborg sampled it for his 2006 string quartet. Apparently even serious composers can't resist flipping the Arietta. Though the original still slaps harder.

Chopin's Funeral March, a cheerful start to the day!

Joking apart, it is a beautiful piece of music...

I’ll give it a serous listen when I get some time.
