K.15a-15ss, London Sketchbook - I am skipping 19d, as I have read that there is no documentary evidence that the work is Mozart's. I am glad to skip anything at this point. The closer I get to the good stuff near the end of his career, the better.
KV 15a - Allegretto in C major - not bad, likin that these things are short
KV 15b - Andantino maestoso - liked that one better, the minor development part cadences in an interesting way
KV 15c - Menuetto in D major - an elaborate, high-flying theme
KV 15d - Rondeau: Allegro moderato in D major - don't have much to say
KV 15e - Ecossaise in G major - sounds interesting enough
KV 15f - Tempo di minuetto in C major - maybe a different kind of bass
KV 15g - Prelude in C major - did not follow this one at all, very strange
KV 15h - Contredanse in F major - a variable little bitty
KV 15i & 15k - Menuetto e trio in D major - don't have much to say, but I did zone out on this one a bit.
Alright, and now for our newly added section, the innappropriate juxtaposition of some modern piece with the above material. And today's piece is:
Bjork - Hyperballad - what a wonderful shimmering texture, wonderful how the chorus emerges so surprisingly, better I feel, than any of the above (too bad, nine year old Mozart - not that good yet).
