  • #ClassicsaDay #Classical1922 Week 3

    For January, 2022 the Classics a Day Team decided to go back a century. The challenge this month is to post classical works associated with the year 1922. It can be a composition that was completed,  published, or premiered that year. It can even be a work recorded for the first time in 1922. It […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #OctoberOctet Week 1

    Oct 15th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #OctoberOctet, Classical music, Dmitri Shostakovich, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Krommer, Max Bruch, Nikolay Afanasyev, Twitter

    The Classics a Day team decided October was the month to feature octets. Granted, it is the tenth month of the year, but the word “detects” isn’t as alliterative. The mix of instruments that make up an octet varies.  Some composers wrote for double string quartet, some for wind instruments, and some for a blend […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalDoubleDigits Week 5

    Jan 30th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalDoubleDigits, #ClassicsaDay, Carl Czerny, Cécile Chaminade, Classical music, Dmitri Shostakovich, George Frideric Handel, Joachim Raff, Twitter

    The Classics a Day team noted that the new year is comprised of two twenties — double digits. So the theme for January 2020 is to post other examples of double digits found in classical music. Prolific composers are a good place to start. But I found a few surprises among composers with very small […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #FamousLastWorks Week 3

    Oct 19th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #FamousLastWorks, Dmitri Shostakovich, Edward Elgar, Johann Sebastian Bach, Richard Strauss, Sergei Prokofiev

    For the month of October, the #ClassicsaDay team (of which I’m a part), decided to go with a Halloween theme. The idea is to share works marked in some way with the composer’s demise. It can be the last piece a composer completed before death, or one left incomplete at death. For my part, I […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #SovietaDay Week 4

    May 25th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #SovietaDay, Alexander Arutiunian, Boris Lyatoshinsky, Dmitri Shostakovich, Sergei Prokofiev

    For May 2018, some of us contributing to #ClassicsaDay decided to mark May Day. Reason enough to post works by Soviet composers. I decided to go a little farther with my #SovietaDay posts and concentrate on Soviet prize winners. Here are the posts I shared for week 4. Boris Lyatoshinsky (1895-1968) – Piano Quintet “Ukrainian […]
