Weekend music to chill by.....Serenade Edition!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

a serenade is a love song. Itzy Perlman playing a famous Serenade by Franz Schubert. Schubert was considered the greatest melody writer of all time. He died in 1828 at age 31. Yes, even younger than Mozart. His string quartets and other chamber music are outstanding.

1. Another Serenade, this one from Tchaikovsky

I can't decide which movement I like best, here's the finale:

2. When I was in High School,

my orchestra played the Waltz from the Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings in C, as our String Orchestra requirement in University Interscholastic League Orchestra Contest. We made an A. I was a senior and one of the first violins. Great piece!!

also The Rite of Spring and the Symphony in C. Good stuff.
Played the Firebird Suite in high school music camp.

8. For some reason I'm obsessed with this Salonen-conducted Rite of Spring

Maybe it's the suspenders.
