Re: Today's Good News Reply #276 – 2015-07-08, 09:13:40 Those unrelated laundry ball things do tell us that most people use far too much detergent.Anyway, ultrasonic cleaning is not bullshit, nor is miniaturization. I'm inclined to somewhat plausible for this one.

In other good news, 3 more full working days until I am done with this current job.

Re: Today's Good News Reply #285 – 2015-07-29, 14:19:07 I'm listening to Hadyn's piano sonata number 13. That's good news to the ear. Shhhhhhh............
Re: Today's Good News Reply #286 – 2015-07-29, 16:57:18 The Sviatoslav Richter recording…? (If you listen to enough Haydn, you'll hear almost everything Beethoven wrote! )
Re: Today's Good News Reply #287 – 2015-07-30, 10:02:12 Too late...I'm on to Weber's Der Freischutz Overture.
Re: Today's Good News Reply #288 – 2015-07-31, 07:21:41 There's so much good music! Enjoy. (But consider that Richter decided to forgo composition, because he thought there was enough "bad" music already… )How he came to this conclusion is quite beyond me! I consider the Brahms 2nd Piano Concerto the best composition, ever! (The Chicago Symphony under Reiner with Cliburn at the piano.) But I've heard it badly played, even by great musicians.And much of Brahms' orchestral work is pedestrian, to say the most. (We needn't take Tchaikovsky's opinion into account — he resented that "people" liked Brahms more than him! Luckily, they're both dead: We can just listen to what they wrote…)But I've not written any grand pieces myself! Last Edit: 2015-07-31, 07:37:57 by OakdaleFTL

I see, it means rudimentary...Nice, I'll say it at my next dinner with erudite music lovers, Brahms?? bah... pedestrian....
Re: Today's Good News Reply #291 – 2015-08-01, 04:14:25 Most, pedestrian. Some few, sublime! (1st and 4th Symphonies, for example… The 1st is "difficult" and is seldom played at the correct tempo. To you, that may be just a matter of taste; to me, it is the crucial component: If the First Movement is too fast or too slow, it is ruined…)Quote from: Belfrager on 2015-07-31, 15:52:08What does it means a "pedestrian orchestral work" […]Something that is trite, entirely unsurprising and completely predictable. (Something that could have been written by anyone — and might as well have been.)
Re: Today's Good News Reply #293 – 2015-08-02, 20:10:34 Compared to Brahms (…or most any other classical composer, which I'll admit should include Baroque and Romantic periods as well…), I am indeed but a pedestrian composer. But I've done some good work…

Re: Today's Good News Reply #297 – 2015-08-20, 14:36:04 I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news. Maybe we need an Indifferent News thread. Anyhoo, here we go.QuoteA teenage girl has added a new chapter to the politicians-eating-things file after filming David Cameron tucking into a tube of paprika Pringles.The PM was chomping on the £1.80 snack on an Easyjet flight to Portugal - sparking incredulity on social media.Fellow passenger Ashleigh was amazed too, telling her Twitter followers: "Guys I'm crying he was eating Pringles.""I found the experience humbling," she told BBC News.

Re: Today's Good News Reply #299 – 2015-08-24, 16:37:09 Today, instead of lingering, China's markets began properly falling so that it affects global stock markets. At the same time, China to allow pension fund to invest in stock market for first time - this is the way to invest more numbers and safer to burn the paper where they are written on. The well-developed and civilised first world has already been using this method for a century or so.
