A couple of weeks ago, we played something by the Beatles. Actually, it was “Something” by the Beatles. George’s love song to his wife (at the time).
Many of you mentioned he wasn’t the only one to write a song about her. George’s best friend wrote a song about her, too.
What’s on your mind? Got something you’d like to share? It’s Saturday Night Open Thread, after all.
Who wants to start?
Patty was married to George while Eric was wooing her. Cool that George and Eric remained friends She was a cutie in AHDN.
The most beautiful piece of music ever written… IMO
I like it.
I share your opinion. It’s hard to pick Mozart’s greatest work, because he wrote so many great works in so many different formats (symphony, concerto, opera, chamber music), but the clarinet concerto is something special, even for Mozart.

Antonio Vivaldi, known as “Il Preto Rosso” (the red priest) because he was an ordained priest and had red hair, was born March 4, 1678, in Venice, Italy. Here’s his concerto for two trumpets. Notice how one trumpet picks up just as the other leaves off. This was written for the residents of a home for female orphans that Vivaldi ran. He believed that a girl or woman couldn’t sustain a line on a trumpet for very long, and that’s how he accommodated that belief.
