Music Appreciation Group - One - July

Music Appreciation Group One
Three members of the group met at Glenys’s house on Monday, 4 July, the theme for this month
being: Composers, musicians and compositions beginning with the letter ‘T’. Having found, during
Covid lockdown, how enjoyable it was to watch, as well as listen, to orchestras and/or soloists
performing via YouTube, the group has now decided to continue in this way, but together, rather
than in isolation! Being able to watch/listen on a large smart TV makes this an even more enjoyable
pursuit. The following excerpts were played:
Germaine TAILLEFERRE: ‘Piano Trio’ – Morgenstern Trio;
Evgeny Kissin – TRÄUMEREI/Reverie (Kinderszenen, Op 15 No 7), by Robert Schumann –
Schubert Soirée; plus
Schumann’s “Träumerei” at the correct, authentic tempo as indicated by Schumann;
