one year passes...

Almost two years on and I'm working my way throught the Sonatas again, non-chronologically this time. I really like No. 17. Not one of his more "urban" sonatas however.

I've not got a hideous vision of the conductor turning to the audience at the end and proclaiming " . . and dats da ja-a-a-a-a-zzzzzz!"

The sherzo of the 9th is some crazy jazz-funk shit (until that landler type melody comes in)

Or even bettah...

Three bursts of french horn followed by a funky mandolin riff...
Conductor/Bandleader: Get Up-ah!
Chorale Singers: Get on UP!
Conductor/Bandleader: Stay on the Scene!
Chorale Singers: Get on UP!
Conductor/Bandleader: I'm a conductin' machine!
Chorale Singers: Get on UP!
