Among the way too many artists deceased in 2016 is Peter Maxwell Davies, whose opera Resurrection I tracked down, which took me ten years.

^Interesting music but I don't care much for the vocals...

Still on a Tom Lehrer trip here. The closest Dutch equivalent is word wizard Drs. P, whose lyrics were incredible and beyond belief, and whose piano accompaniment was fine - but he wasn't much of a singer. Or, as he put it when Willem Duys remarked about his poor voice: "I have a beautiful baritone, but I never use it, that would be a waste."

Here he sings De Commensaal, about a man who rents a room with another family and has the habit of leaving bloodily murdered women in the house.

(Tina S. performing the 3rd movement of Beethoven's piano sonata op 27/2)

Tina's a really brilliant guitarist. I wish I was as skilled as she is.

Somebody's uploaded the complete Domestic Wildlife-album by DAAU, my favourite album that I played daily for over 10 months...

I'm certainly impressed and it does have that instant wow factor, but that pyrotechnical stuff doesn't really move me in general and it's not the kind of music that I listen to regularly.

I do. And I like it a lot. But to each his own.

It's a very beautiful piece for piano that I tried and failed my hand at playing. It doesnt fit on my keyboard and my instrument would shake too much if I attempted it anyway.

The most difficult piece I can almost play is Echidna's Arf, which I imagine she could play in her sleep.
