Saturday morning delight ... Mozart's lovely Trio KV 498
Listening pleasure on a cold and chilly Saturday morning down-under...
A wonderful performance by Martin Fröst, klarinet; Roland Pöntinen, piano; Maxim Rysanov, altviool. Recorded during Janine Jansen's International Chamber Music Festival Utrecht 2011.(YouTube, uploaded by AVROTROS klassiek. Accessed August 8, 2020.)
About this piece, and I'm quoting from a friend's insight: "The lovely Eb trio KV 498, in a crystalline and lyrical performance by Martin and friends, here with his longtime pianist Roland Pontinen and the great violist Maxim Rysanov. The KV 498 trio has been misnicknamed the "Kegelstatt" trio for over 200 years. In actuality, it was the KV 487 french duos that were composed two weeks earlier, "untern Kegelscheiben" ("while play skittles") by Mozart. This lovely Eb trio, KV 498 was not. Mozart writes on the autograph of KV 498 (now in Paris) very simply, "Ein Terzett fur Klavier, Klarinette, und Viola."- Dr. Vincent DeLuise, Mozartian and clarinettist.

I am... I said
Listening Pleasure / Reveries
The past days I've been gravitating on this old song "I am... I said", popularised by Neil Diamond. Self-isolating and physical-distancing due to Covid pandemic crisis have been challenging to many people living especially for one living alone.
"I Am... I Said" is a song written and recorded by Neil Diamond. Initially, it was quite unsuccessful, released as a single album (Stones) on March 15, 1971. It slowly climbed the charts.

A moment of random thoughts
Random thoughts whilst resting from a day's practice of minimalism...
Sometimes silence can speak louder than words.
If you want to know the person, read what the person says themselves ...
When you have many ideas, writings go all over the place.
"Simplicity" is the secret of the success that everyone can understand.
Be forewarned. It's definitely not for those who cling to certain sacred cows --- Sorry, I can't pull off such premise.
"Anyone who hasn't really loved hasn't lived. ~ Agatha Christie, Sad Cypress.
If God exists, why does he allow human sufferings?
Seascape / Ocean.
The enthralling thing about the ocean is it chanages everyday, and much bigger than we are --- such magnificent creation of the Almighty.
Writers.
Some writers are just good at honeying their analysis with fantastic storytelling.
Starting Over.
It's never too late to start over. If you weren't happy with yesterday, try something different today. Don't stay stuck. Do better."
