That crack was perfect image for me… letting the music come in… even if I confess I was only listening to Bach! 😉
Thank you, dahling!
❤🎵🌟🎵❤
LOl!
I gotta say that Bach is wonderful!!!
😉😌😘🤗
👌👌👌🎶🌹 My favorite is Bach
Couldn’t argue that one, obviously!!! 😉
😁🌹😘
😉 🙏👍
last day of March and snow has returned here so thank you for the music on this auspicous day of birthdays – I confess I played both pieces together and although Haydn dominated with his upbeat Fantasia, Back found his way beautifully into the pauses!
Really? More snow?! Odd winter this one. We had snow just ten days ago and now, we’re over 20°C with dust! 🙄
So glad you enjoyed the music. To be honest I’d be more than pleased (understating it!) with Bach, but… 😉
I’ve got to try that duo listening!
gives Bach and Haydn a chance to do a duet 😉 (though that was one of the most beautiful and somewhat unusual pieces of Bach solo)
An oddly harmonious duet! 😉
Beautiful dawn, dear Marina, as is the music. Groetjes ❤️🤗 xoxoxo
.
Thank you, my dearest Francina!
Groetjes
…and many hugs.

If I remember right, Haydn went through a spell where he lived in seclusion from what was happening in the classical world, holed up writing for some noble. Like writing songs with no clue what was on the radio at the time…
Ah, well… that seclusion didn’t deprive him of ideas , thankfully, for us! 😉
Yes, some say he’s “better” than Mozart but I’d just say different. I don’t find Haydn’s music stunning in the melodic sense but overal solid and nice to listen to. Apparently he cared about his music making people feel good. Not sure what Mozart’s motives were.
After years of being greatly underrated, opinions have now gone to the opposite side. I know that they were great friends with mutual admiration. I think they both cared about music making people feel good, just maybe in different ways. 😉
Yeah, you’re probably right. I tend to imagine Mozart as a fastidious, slightly arrogant type whereas Haydn is more like a big teddy bear. But that’s just me. Even if my imaginings were correct, both types help us all. Agreed! 😄
😉 👍
😁
Beautiful!!
You should have put the Haydn first! I was all relaxed after the Bach 😉
And today is my eldest’s birthday. He’s 24 🙂
I thought about that, you’re right, but then I wanted Bach first…. 😉
Happy Birthday!!!! How cool to have the same birthday with JS!
[until recently I thought I did, but it was old calendar! 😔]
❤️🌹❤️
💐
Hah! That’s okay, Upbeat is another good way to get the day going!
Yes, though I think he could care less 😉
What? You thought you did but what do you mean an old calendar?
xoxo
Bach was born on March 21, 1685, which coincided with the spring equinox [varies from March 20 to 22]. However that was under the old Julian calendar. Some still believe it’s the 21st. If you’re interested, here’s some good info about it.

Oh wow! How confusing!
My thoughts exactly!
Dawn cracked beautifully. Lovely clouds, and great morning music.
Thank you, Tim! That crack seemed so appropriate to let some some sublime music in! 😉
A cracking excellent reason I would say.
😉 🤣
