When Edith #Wharton’s dramatization of her novel, The Age of Innocence, flopped on Broadway, William #Howells consoled her by saying that Americans prefer their tragedies to have a happy ending.

I like this because Edith Wharton and William Howells seem class stratospheres above the bootlegger or the private detective, and yet here they are, cracking wise.

The #wisecrack has not gotten the philosophical respect it, perhaps, deserves https://limitedinc.blogspot.com/2023/02/cracking-wise.html #philosophy

An utter joy to work with the eminent #BenPalmer again. A real rising star in the orchestral world, once acclaimed by #HansZimmer as "a real masterclass in conducting", we always feel so privileged to work with him.

Ben brought a real musical zeal to the classic works of #HerbertHowells (Three Figures) and #HarrisonBirtwisle (Grimethorpe Aria).

Today's #classicalmusic playlist (to start):
#Howells Piano Quartet
#RVW Piano Quintet
#Britten Bridge Variations

If you don't know the #Howells quartet. Check it out. The opening theme could be one of the most evocative in English music. I guess it is supposed to evoke Chosen Hill in Gloucestershire. The RVW piece seems to me to have a similar atmosphere, especially the sweeping first phrases in the strings. Good stuff.
