The parts of the text that made it into the libretto.
Ah that makes sense. Or not, as it were
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Glorious music...which is all that matters.
It's like this: ![[Image: Trip07206.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i222.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd54%2Fbob01_album%2FTrip07206.jpg) The interior of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul which I took in 2007.

Since I'm not a big Opera fan, with some Wagner and Händel being the exception, I skipped Don Giovanni and first went for the Horn concertos. Nice, but again I have this Mozart effect where I so often think I'm hearing the same appoggiaturas and phrases over and over again. And sure, I threw it in my car radio and it was nice, but to just sit there and listen? I don't know. Same goes for most of the piano sonatas. Then, the piano quartets. Now we're getting somewhere The piano quartets automatically win because they have such a nice dynamic. I also stumbled across this and really like it. Quote: I bought it and I love it. No seriously, I've listened to it 10 times over the past few days, headbanging to the epic riffs in #3 first movement. I don't know what the hell the flute is doing from 3:58 on in #5 first movement, but what the hell

For some reason I far prefer Mozart's String quintets to his quartets.
This is magnificent...and in a minor key which is where Mozart does some great work. RE: (western) classical music discussion

Thanks for the tip. Any recording you would recommend?
I've also bought a recording of the Partitas by a young Russian-German shooting star I. Levit, who does them in a quite expressive fashion (within the limits). Unfortunately it's not on YT. This version is also very nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELShZDVjoFw

My personal pick for the string quintets is the Arthur Grumiaux string trio. When I first decided to get serious about Mozart, this was the recording I selected.

I am glad you tried it and that you the good taste to love it! Jeanne Lamon also did the best Handel's Water Music that I have ever heard, and I have a couple of other recordings that are superb and more than good enough. But Lamon is better. In fact, I have never heard a recording conducted by her that I did not prefer to every other recording I have ever heard of the same piece of music. I think she can do no wrong as a conductor. I am looking forward to what you will say about the Requiem that I recommended. Hopefully, after I see your thoughts on that, we will remain on speaking terms.
