The intermezzo from her cello sonatina haunts my dreams. Might take awhile to get into, but once you do, wow.

I never knew Webenau was Schönberg's first student; that's very cool. I've listened to her chamber music a lot, but never played it.

I'd love to locate the scores for her "Fantasy for cello and orchestra" Op. 6 (1940) and also "Five Bagatelles for cello and piano" Op. 15 (1947)!

Yeah.

1) Why the fuck didn't this come to light BEFORE Magalardo won a second term? 2) Charges must be pressed by the Department of Just--

Oops.

Thanks! There's also a database of cello works by historical women composers (264 so far; cutoff date is 1951) with links to as many scores as possible:

No kidding! It def has that late 19th century vibe. "If I die before I wake..."

Good on you!! Anyone who knows even a little about Bonis/her music will know Mel's short for Mèlanie.

Btw if you looked at my Bonis post yesterday please know that I LOVE that piece, but just find it funny that people would choose it (presumably?🤷‍♂️) based solely on its name. (Can't think why else!)

It wouldn't be an "annexation." No one ever says that Poland was "annexed" by Germany in 1939. Canada would not be willingly "annexed" by the US; they'd have to take us by force.

The book "A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through?" (2023) is a serious dose of cold water on the notion of conquering the cosmos anytime soon. The authors, self avowed nerds on the subject are gung ho, but still think it's centuries away.

I loved this book.

And therein lies the intrinsic flaw in labeling red states/blue states. There are scads of left leaning people living in red states and the opposite, right leaning in blue states.

Some election results post redistricting may not deliver as planned.

To me it feels validating & respectful to go with Mélanie. Esp given the reasons for her to use Mel to obscure her gender. Plus it sounds so awesomely French to say both!

Funny to stumble across another Bonis thread, having just posted about her this morning.

I love her music SO much.

Ok!

Nothing else springs to mind.

Ummm...49th parallel?

(Except there're parts of Canada that are below it; if you're in Bellingham WA, it's appropriate to say "We're going down to Victoria BC." Though the geographically challenged - and plenty of other people would look at you askance. "Canada is UP!")

Except when it isn't.

Our penny's been gone since 2013. Smallest denomination is a nickel. It's no big deal; you get used to it. It's actually nice not having to deal with a bunch of pennies when someone gives you change.

It'll be an especially galling moment for the US when Chinese taikonauts' boots are on the lunar regolith. Well, galling for the Americans who know that the Apollo landings actually happened...millions of them have been convinced it was all a hoax.

Not spelling, but I love our idiosyncrasies.

We go to the washroom, but renovate the bathroom. The terms are never interchanged.

It's pounds and grams. No one even knows how much an ounce is unless they're doing shooters.

It's inches, feet, metres, kilometres.

We barbecue on the barbecue.

But even then we recognized that women in cages ("Hot for Teacher," Billy Midol "Eyes Without A Face," Krokus "Screaming in the Night," to name a few) was deeply fucked up.

And in other news, looking at goldfish doesn't cause herpes, it's FINALLY been proven that you can't get pregnant from eating corn chips, and there's no known link between peppercorns and belief in conspiracy theories about the Apollo Moon landings.
