@Indian1960 ,
I'm guessing it's the piano part (classical) you like in Martha.
This also has such an intro :

@Ron-Weasley :
I like to read a good book while I play chess. Preferably Shakespeare or sometimes a Donald Duck will do . Recently I lost a game reading Homer (Greece) because I missed a check during the bathroom scene , but what the heck , you can't have it all.
Instead of providing reduntant information about your highly developed and delicate taste of music , you could simply have asked : Is it legal to have a headphone on my head when playing chess in an OTB tournament ?
..... aaaahhhhtssssjjuuuuu ...

Well 'scuse me ma'am , name's Zappa .... Frank Zappa ma'am ......
Yes , he is unpredictable , that's what I like about him. And the music , oh the music and the lyrics. He is considered to be one of the best composers of the 20th century.
Yes.. I discovered this like 20 years ago when I beat my dad.. which seemed impossible.. he peonbably rates around 1800-1900. The music.was playin loud on the second floor (I putted) while we were playing on the first floor. It was eigher Bach or Mozart.. I think it was Mozart.
We were playing a long game btw like say one hour or so.
Then I forgot about it..until now. I will start to aplly it again (mozart and Bqch only) and see how it goes.
Ummm, I have heard countless interpretations of Bach's cello suites in all kinds of instruments- including viola da gamba, and double bass.
Pierre Fournier's interpretation is by far the most accurate, lovely, danceable I have heard (just remember- those solo pieces were actually written as dance/lounge pieces!). Absolute magic.
Rostropovich is a rather distant second, and Janos Starker (he left us a few months ago) is technically perfect, but a tad dry, sentimentally-wise.
How could I forget Fournier?
I agree, it is breathtaking but there is something in the way Jacqueline plays that always grabs me by the throat. It could be just me, I don't know, but it feels like she knew there wasn't much time to do what she had to do. Like a layer of pain, if I can describe it like that, something you can't really define. It's hard to explain.
