keeping the Baroque tradition alive in the 21st Century - so pleasant

Hello Volker!  These variations are a lot of fun to listen to.  The orchestration seems to me excellent!  My favorite variations are the Burree and the Contradance, and the two are quite similar in parts. I also enjoyed the other two variations, they're interesting.

A buncha Classical, Orchestral, Uppity, Snobby, Blue-Blood, In-Bred Stuff

This song comes from a place in me that I haven't explored ever. It comes from a place that when you reach a certain age, or have a health problem rear its ugly head, you stop, take the time to think about it, and then realize there are more years behind than ahead.

   This is No.1 from the suite of pieces for piano entitled 'Children's  Corner' by Claude Debussy. Debussy wrote them for his little daughter, nicknamed 'Chouchou' (little pet in French.)According to Debussy's friend and biographer, E. Robert Schmitz, the pieces are about the joy the the little girl received from the toys her Father bought her. This first piece of the suite, 'Gradus ad Parnassum' is a reference to Debussy's own childhood. It is a parody of an execise from the famous and monumental piano exercise method book by Clementi, 'Gradus ad Parnassum"(translation: 'steps to Parnassus') which Debussy was no doubt forced to practice as a child!

L.v.Beethoven:  Sonata No.23 'Appassionata' 3rd Mvt. Mischa Levitzki 1928 On Ampico 68463. - Reproduced and recorded by VViljanen May 29, 2023 from playback of the digitally simulated original reproducing piano roll on a modelled Blüthner Model 1 grand piano, the rec. setup made by VV.
Photo Mischa levitzki 1898-1941
Mischa Levitzki (also spelled Levitski; Ukrainian: Міша Левицький (Miša Levycʹkyj); May 25, 1898 – January 2, 1941) was a Russian-born U.S.-based concert pianist and composer.
Levitzki was born in Kremenchuk, Ukraine (then part of the Russian Empire), to Jewish parents who were naturalised American citizens on a return trip to Ukraine. He was playing the violin at the age of three, but soon developed an interest in the piano, which he studied in Warsaw with Aleksander Michałowski before making his debut in Antwerp in 1906.
In New York, his father brought him to the attention of Walter Damrosch, who obtained a scholarship for him at the Institute of Musical Art (now the Juilliard School) as a pupil of Zygmunt Stojowski, with whom he studied from 1907 to 1911. In 1913 Levitzki entered the Berlin Hochschule für Musik, where he became the youngest student of Ernst von Dohnányi and was awarded the Mendelssohn Prize in 1915. By this time he had performed throughout Europe and Scandinavia. He made his American debut in New York on October 17, 1916, at Aeolian Hall, and soon made his permanent home in the United States, later becoming an American citizen.[citation needed] Levitzki concertized worldwide up until the time of his death. He toured in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Asia, making a reputation with his performances of the Romantic repertory. He was elected an honorary member of the Alpha chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity at the New England Conservatory in 1917.
He transcribed numerous pieces for piano, prepared a cadenza for Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto, and wrote small pieces for the piano. Among his most popular compositions for piano were The Enchanted Nymph, Valse in A, Valse tzigane, and a gavotte.
He also recorded extensively for the AMPICO Piano Roll Company during the 1920s.
Levitzki died of a heart attack aged 42, in 1941, at his home in Avon-by-the-Sea, New Jersey.[1] Levitski's papers are conserved at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.
