Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

About that play: Molière had fallen out with the powerful court composer Jean-Baptiste Lully, with whom he had pioneered the comédie-ballet form a decade earlier, and had opted for the collaboration with Charpentier.  Le malade Imaginaire  turned out to be Molière's last work. He collapsed during his fourth performance as Argan on 17 February and died soon after.

Snowing!!!!  is that a consequence of the music?   :2funny:

Gloria

Snowing? I thought it was bad here with temperature down to 45° this morning and very windy.

At 8:30 am it snowed in Grand Rapids.  Just long enough so we could see it.  Sorry it went your way, Don.

I was watching when Jackie Evancho lost first on that show.  What a beautiful voice for one so young.

Radioman, heard this piece on radio the other day, and thought it might be something you have, and would like to put on your program:  Norwegian Rhapsody,  Johan Halverson.  I had gotten in on the last few minutes of it, but loved the excitement of it, and looked it up on YouTube. 

Radioman34

Tomereader1 I checked my inventory and found seven works by Halvorsen; unfortunately, none of them were the Norwegian Rhapsody.

8:    Classical
9:    Leningrad

Don, I don't see question 4.

Radioman34

All of your answers are correct. MarsGal good catch on #3: I thought only of the Mahler work and completely forgot about Schubert.
Bubble thanks for posting the Leftovers and drawing my attention to the missing #4 which I had prepared but neglected to post. Here it is now:

4: Little C Major
1:  Symphony Of A Thousand
8:    Classical
9:    Leningrad

Try your hand at one more response if you have answered two; if you haven't answered any try  three.

9. Where is our Shostakovich fan?  Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op. 60
