As usual, I've learned so much listening to Bill. This analysis of the B 9th is enlightening. I write in the present tense because I'm listening to the program right now.
Thank you for presenting this informative segment about Shostakovich's 4th movement of his 5th symphony. my family and i have a deep fondness for this and my daughter just played it at a breakneck speed which causes us all to ecstatically move! wonderful to hear the differences and hear that berstein and shostakovich embraced!
Wonderful exploration of the effects of tempo in Beethoven tonight. Thank you.
