Not every day is packed full of excitement.
Some days are just bits and bobs, this and that...
How about some Beethoven Bagatelles op 33 played by Alicia de Larroccha
You might recognise no 3 as the music for the original BBC radio programme 'A book at bedtime'.
I had a ticket for a concert of hers years ago, big demand, got it months ahead. I'd only heard recordings. Came the night, she looked ill and tired, played inaccurately, such a disappointment. But I remembered she's a human being who can have off nights. Oh,well. There are good recordings anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity, It must be tough, as a performer, having to decide whether to carry on or pull out of an engagement. You took a kind and compassionate view of her performance at any rate.
DeleteMost days around here aren't packed with excitement either lol. Thanks for the music. It was very soothing.
ReplyDeleteSome days seem too hum-drum to even write up in a diary, let alone post in a blog. But then, that's how real life should be. It would be exhausting if we all lived like characters in soap operas.
DeleteSome of those Beethoven pieces were so familiar to me from when my girls took piano. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd to me too from my own student and piano teaching days. They are little gems.
DeleteEven in an 'ordinary' day there can be lovely moments, a visit from a friend, an unepected postal delivery, a good book......
ReplyDeleteYes, there are always those 'small moments', as you have so rightly named your blog!
DeleteI agree not every day is exciting but like the others said there are moments....
ReplyDeleteJust as well there are some slower days from time to time...
