But, you know, there’s a writer for every mood, and while I appreciate Céline’s hallucinatory prose, I don’t see why I should mimic his style if I don’t feel it’s mine (at this moment). As for "inglicina," it's not that difficult to understand. It evokes the idea of wisteria, of a vine, of something that brings life and color. That’s all. Regarding "patetico," there was also a beautiful sonata by Beethoven with that title. It derives from "Pathos," which means emotion. Exactly what "l'Art de la Fugue" conveys to me, and what I wanted to capture in this page. But since you called it "pathetic," sabatino, at least in part I think I’ve achieved my goal! :) Hi everyone, JoP

Announced, here it is. An extraordinary page for emotionality and rationality. And just the first sentence alone deserves a ten. How often do I also listen to music for therapeutic, cathartic purposes? Truly great, Stoopid.

Beautiful page and beautiful links: always nice to talk about Nick.

Steve Reich, Stoopid? I eagerly await your page! :)

"Rowing" is the title of the opening poem, Stoopid. Unfortunately, I don't think the collection has been released in its entirety in the Italian edition; if you want to explore something else before purchasing, check here too: Anne Sexton (watch out for the spaces!) Hi :) JoP

Thank you all, as always :) For Stoopid: "The Terrible Rowing Toward God" is the title of a posthumous collection (1975) by Anne Sexton (a beautiful woman, as well as a great poet). 39 poems written in a rush "like a fugitive chased by the police" and of a beauty (and strength) that is truly disarming. For Grass: thanks for the mention of Walcha (who also completed the "Fuga a Tre Soggetti")! Hello everyone, JoP

Hey, has it already come out?! The editors are getting more efficient :) @ charley & DaveJonGilmour: thank you @ Mullah: it's always a pleasure when you show up around here! :) Yes, I know both those versions. It's a shame that Gould's remains an "unfinished" performance; if GG had recorded a complete version of the "Art" (I prefer it on piano), it would undoubtedly have been the best performance! However, my favorite keyboard version remains that of Tatiana Nikolayeva. The Emerson version is much smoother, in my opinion, and I think this interpretation of Bernini is even superior (at least according to my taste). However, I haven't fully appreciated the Keller quartet version that came out on the ECM New Series a while ago (though I listened to it quickly). I'm missing Jordi Savall's version, and I feel like I'm missing out on something beautiful! Hi everyone, JoP

Oh my God, I'm stuck nick?! I’ll take care of the email right away :)) To reply to kosmo, quite a few posts above... Well, yes, I’m obviously sorry that this page is no longer at the top of the favorites, especially considering how this review originated, which came from... the depths and touches on some inner ghosts that have emerged here in their full physicality. You see, I'm really emotionally attached to this page (in a similar way to how the one for The Lioness came about). But, but... now I’m happy that where there was Wolfgang, there is now Ludwig with the excellent Grass! :)) Hello everyone, and thanks to all those who stop by! See you soon, JoP

I’ll open the mortgage right away... :))
