Oddball music: Please share a piece written in a style that is unusual for that composer. We will start things off with Mozart’s Gigue in G major K. 574, performed here by @leonmccawley - youtu.be/pnRhLVkFO94

Fair enough! Have you heard Liszt’s transcription of that symphony? Here it is in a performance that is both quirky (in tempo and articulation) and magesterial in the way it draws different colors out of the instrument. We hope you enjoy it - youtu.be/E_8Y_8qthEI

Pianist András Schiff would agree! See 44:08 in the video below - "If I was Catholic, which I am not, I would say that Bach is the father, Mozart is the son, and Schubert is the Holy Spirit." youtu.be/G4R-qf6E7XI?t=2648 ... We love Schubert as well; see here: helloclassical.org/2018/02/2…

For Thanksgiving: a nice arrangement of the Shaker song Simple Gifts, performed/mixed by a cellist named Angela Kim, based on an earlier recording by @YoYo_Ma and @AlisonKrauss. Happy Thanksgiving from Hello Classical! youtu.be/Jmj6NR4ltKo #cello
