Peter Schickele was one of my idols. He died on Tuesday, January 16. His creation, P.D.Q. Bach, helped bring much needed self-effacing humor to the world of classical music. Links below to help you get into his (and Victor Borge’s— another giant of classical music parody—) life and work:Peter Schickele’s Obituary, NY TimesBeethoven’s 5th announced as a baseball game (a classic!)The Short-Tempered ClavierReport from Hoople (full album- the Beethoven sketch is included)The Definitive Autobiography of P.D.Q.

The opening piece, Jay says is one of the most joyous, most exuberant pieces ever written. It is a movement of a symphony, actually—the finale. Jay closes this program with Victor Borge, the musician-comedian, or comedian-musician—but in a serious vein. There is much to soak in, in this relatively brief program. Maybe the kind to listen to twice. Mozart, Symphony No. 34 in C, K. 338, finale Rorem, “Ferry Me Across the Water” Bach-Loussier, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 Henriques, Lullaby Join the conversation and comment on this podcast episode: https://ricochet.com/podcast/music-for-a-while/from-mozart-to-Borge/.
