··The black sheep in the Spee-ee-eee-eedmaster flockSince we have a good Tchaikovsky mix in posts here I will add that I finished off a 30-year-old Miller & Kreisel subwoofer just last week on the cannon fire contained within the "1812 Overture". Even better than Led Zeppelin turned up loud.

··Home For Wayward WatchesDid it say anywhere which performance this was? It sounded like Mercury Living Presence and the Rockefeller Carillon to me.

Absolutely amazing top quality performance and the big guns caused such an air compression when fired I am sure there were a few brown moments for some, such was the air compression that your vision was affected.
Magic stuff with full choreographed firework accompaniment.

··Home For Wayward WatchesWe saw a live performance of 1812 outdoors in Botanic Gardens in Fort Worth, Texas and and the Army Reserve provided what appeared to be old M3 37mm howitzers. They were some distance from stage and audience, no closer than 120 yards from both, yet were startlingly loud and concussive.
Their sequencing was conducted with precision timing. The gunners obviously had experience at this sort of thing.

·I went on a Beethoven rabbit hole a while ago. When he wrote, he wrote for instruments of his era which were often lesser quality as the quality instruments would go off with the army. There were some CD’s I had that were put out using such instruments for his music. He would also take into account the acoustics of the music halls of the era.
I’m not saying listening to Beethoven in the modern era is not good it’s just something I hadn’t really considered until I read a couple books on him. I read contradictory info on his bout of homelessness and alcoholism but he didn’t have it easy growing up and went through some difficult periods. It blows my mind how they could write for so many instruments and create such beauty.

··The black sheep in the Spee-ee-eee-eedmaster flockThe YouTube video didn't say. It's a good rendition, better than the recording I have on CD. I would like to play this one on the stereo once I obtain a new subwoofer.

·Anyone got piano recommendations that might be fun for a 7-year-old to listen to?
My kid just started piano lessons and I've been trying to expose him to a few new things. He's well acquainted with the wild contemporary keyboards of DragonForce, but I've been putting on some Rachmaninov, Chopin, Beethoven, Satie, etc for him.
He's still loving just banging on the piano and seeing what noises can make. I introduced him to Henry Cowell to mixed results...
