Cute Cute Girl

2006 Nov 19 Carnegie Hall - Anne-Sophie Mutter

Today, it is really a eye-opening experience to me. At the beginning, I don't really like this violinist. I think, due to her Hollywood-like appearance, she may not be a good musician. In fact, the fact told it all. At her first, clean, and sharp performance on Mozart's Sonata in F major, K. 376, I immediately know I was wrong about her. She is quite a stable, experienced artist, accompanied with the soft and fluent piano by Lambert Orkis, the whole show is a enjoyable trip to my soul. Following is the schedule of the whole show.



Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)

Violin Sonata in F Major, K. 376 (1781)
I. Allegro
II. Andante
III. ROndo: Allegretto grazioso

Violin Sonata in E-flat Major, K. 481 (1785)
I. Molto allegro
II. Adagio
III. Allegretto con variazion

Violin Sonata in G Major, K. 379 (1781)
I. Adagio-Allegro
II. Tema con variazioni: Andantino cantabile

intermission

Violin Sonata in E Minor, K. 304 (1778)
I. Allegro
II. Tempo di Menuetto

Violin Sonata in B-flat Major, K. 454 (1784)
I. Largo-Allegro

III. Allegretto

After the performance, the audience is quite sweet and supportive, she later give a short piece of another Sonata ( I'm still looking for the name of it).

In general: introduction ( quoted from the handout )

Violin Sonatas- or to put it in contemporaneous terms, sonatas for keyboard with violin accompaniment- were traditionally a late 18th-century composer's first calling card: whereas Baroque composers often introduced themselves publicly through trio sonatas, for Classical composers it was accompanied sonatas. Mozart was no exception, and throughout his life, accompanied sonatas player an important role in establishing his credentials as both a composer and a performer. He was no mean violinist, either. When he performed a concerto by Johann Baptist" ... we had a little concert here [and] as a finale I played my last cassation in B-flat [K. 287]. They all opened their eyes! I played as though I were the finest fiddler in all Europe. " Leopold, who knew Mozart better than anyone, wrote back: " I'm not surprised ... You yourself do not know how well you play the violin, if you will only do yourself credit and play with energy, with your whole heart and mind, yes, just as if you were the finest violinist in Europe."

Billy Joel- Just the way you are

Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before. Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore. I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble. We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are. Don't go trying some new fashion, Don't change the color of your hair. You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care. I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are. I need to know that you will always be. The same old someone that I knew, What will it take till you believe in me, The way that I believe in you. I said I love you and that's forever, And this I promise from the heart, I could not love you any better,I love you just the way you are.

许冠杰 偷心的人

词:许冠杰 曲:许冠杰 辑:
偷心的人 当心她这个偷心的人 明艳照人 无限美感令你心动难禁
夜里困扰你梦魂 怎么可能舍得她这个偷心的人 无奈眼神
含泪满腔令她产下怜悯 为满足她的 心愿凡事都答充 博取她的欢心
为何时常令你费神 皆因她的一切假或真 动尽脑筋仍然不可分
尽了所能 始终摆不脱答心的人 情是醉人 焚着你身是那火热长吻
在那甜梦里 甘愿长被她软禁 她经已把你俘虏 偷走了她的心
