    i do.

    sophisticated fun and cheeky. too many think it sounds like horror film music. The end of the string trio brings tears to my eyes.

    It's not my sort of music. (I'm more of a metal head) But they're pretty good.

    Very much.

    This week I was listening to his Variations op. 27 by Glenn Gould -- beautiful.

    Glenn Gould? Could you hear the tune over his humming?

    Can't say I have ever listened much to Webern. I really can't get into atonal stuff. (he is atonal, right?) I got him mixed up with Weber when thinking about it just now and it occurred to me I like the Clarinet Concertos. But that was a mix up.

    I am a big fan of Glenn Gould however. Especially when he plays (and hums tunelessly) Bach or Mozart.

    Now that you mention Webern though, I think I will give his music a go. He was Austian after all, and I have a special affection for all things Austrian.

    I am currently in a bit of a Mahler phase myself. What fantastic panache!
