  • #ClassicsaDay #PoetryMonth Week 1, 2022

    Apr 8th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #PoetryMonth, Franz Schubert, George Crumb, John Adams, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

    What’s the connection between classical music and poetry? To celebrate Poetry Month, the Classics a Day team encouraged folks to find out. For the month of April, the challenge is to post poetry used in classical music or works inspired by poetry.   Here are my posts for the first week of #PoetryMonth 04/04/22 George […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #SchumannsCircle Week 3

    Jun 18th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #SchumannsCircle, Classical music, Franz Schubert, Ignaz Moscheles, Ludwig Schunke, Robert Schumann, Twitter

    The Classics a Day team honors Robert Schumann’s birthday (June 8, 1810). The theme for June is Schumann and his circle. During the month, you’re encouraged to share works written by Schumann, his friends, his colleagues, his rivals — and of course, his wife. Here are my #ClassicsaDay selections for the third week of #SchumannsCircle. […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalTimeMachine Week 4

    Oct 30th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalTimeMachine, #ClassicsaDay, Alexander Scriabin, Benjamin Britten, Classical music, Edvard Grieg, Franz Schubert, Twitter, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    For the month of October, the Classics a Day team turned nostalgic. Classical musicians have been making recordings since the 1890s. So we all have over 130 years of documented performance practices. And we can judge first-hand the artistry of legendary performers. The challenge is to post classical recordings made before 1949 (pre-LP era). Here […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalEleven Week 3

    Nov 22nd, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalEleven, #ClassicsaDay, Dominico Scarlatti, Franz Schubert, George Fridrich Handel, Henry Cowell, Muzio Clementi, Twitter

    Numbers have meaning. But meaning can depend on context. The Classics a Day team made “eleven” the theme for November, the eleventh month. The challenge is to post performances of classical music that involve the number. I chose a mix. Some pieces involve eleven players. Some are the eleventh type of piece by a composer. […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalAutumn Week 5

    Nov 1st, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalAutumn, #ClassicsaDay, Cécile Chaminade, Edward MacDowell, Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Twitter

    In 2019 the Classics a Day team has been making its way through the seasons. We’ve had Classical Winter (January), Classical Spring (April), and Classical Summer (August). For October, we complete the cycle with Classical Autumn. I tried to steer clear of the really obvious choices (like Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons”). In the process, I managed […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalSummer Week 5

    Aug 30th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalSummer, #ClassicsaDay, Ferdinand Ries, Franz Schubert, Hector Berlioz, Ludwig van Beethoven, Samuel Barber, Twitter

    It was a busy summer for the Classics a Day team. In June, we marked African-American Music Appreciation Month. In July we celebrated national holidays in the U.S. and  Canada. So that just left August to have a summer theme. For my part, I chose to choose anything except Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons.” In the process, […]

  • Trio Vitruvi Joyfully Perform Schubert Trios

    Mar 11th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Bridge Records, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Franz Schubert, Romantic period, Trio Vitruvi

    A long journey can seem shorter if it’s done with people you enjoy. Schubert’s Piano Trio in E-flat major, D.929 is such a journey. And it was one made all the better with the Trio Vitruvi. This release is the trio’s debut recording. And it’s a well-chosen one. The youthful Trio Vitruvi approach Schubert’s 50-minute […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #FamousLastWorks Week 1

    Oct 5th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #FamousLastWorks, Arnold Schoenberg, Classical music, Franz Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven, Twitter, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    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 #Bernsteinat100 Week 2

    Aug 10th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #Bernsteinat100, #ClassicsaDay, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Franz Schubert, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Twitter

    August 2018 is the centennial of Leonard Bernstein’s birth. Many classical radio stations, performance groups, and writers marked the occasion. And so did #ClassicsaDay. Bernstein was known as a composer, conductor, performer and an educator. Since #ClassicsaDay is primarily a music feed, I concentrated on the first two of those roles (and occasionally the third). […]
