UtahSymphony.org: Now Streaming to April 17: Anthony R. Green: "To Anacreon in the US"; Beethoven Piano Trio No. 3 and Ravel, on USUO Series; Tickets $10
Anthony R. Green Utah Symphony OVERVIEW As we come to the end of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary celebration we present his calling card to the world. The then teen sensation made his splash on the scene with the Piano Trio in C Minor – his premier opus. To Anacreon in the US takes the American national anthem (which is originally a formal British drinking song entitled To Anacreon in Heaven), and applies a Debussy-like treatment.

She played the violin part in a private performance of his Sonata for Violin and Cello, and afterwards the […]

Happy February, everyone. I usually post on 1 January a state-of-the-blog update explaining for the benefit of newcomers what JDCMB is, what it does, what it doesn't, and why, but this year I forgot what with one thing and another. So here it is.A very warm welcome to all readers, whoever and wherever you may be! JDCMB is Jessica Duchen's Classical Music Blog. It's a random and spontaneous collection of content involving words and music. I only write it if and when I have time and inclination. I'm a writer who has a blog, rather than a 'blogger'. There are plenty of real, well-organised bloggers who plan everything meticulously, sometimes months in advance, and I'm afraid I'm not one of them. I'm very, very bad at thinking ahead; somewhat better at thinking aloud, or at least in writing.Since my posts appear irregularly, if you'd like to be certain of seeing all new pieces, […]
