Classical Music & Chess

Yeah, there's only one :D. 

The meal was more than enough to satie his hunger.

Oh Pou! Lenc as there are some Françaix fries around I'll Rameau some of those down my mouth and Philippe on those to be quite Franck about it. Would anyone care to Jean me in a César salad? We could even Dukas it out to see who wins the food. Sounds like a d'Indy idea, doesn't it? Nobody DuFay's me when it comes to food. Now, if you'll please excuse me, it's time for my Orange Schubert for dessert.

Yes, I get the impressionistic that it is and am very impressioned by it...

I'm leaving for now, I will be offenbach. 

Sousa! Sousa! 

I'ves been getting tired more and more from this....I think I'm going to lock myself up in a Tower. But I have to remember to let my Barber cut my hair. And I have to remember to put some Glass in the windows. 

Will I am's be allowed to stop this? 

Take a Car or take a Plane orTake The Bussy home...

Yes, do Janáček in from time to time. And don't drink too much at the bar - looking to get Sousa-d - or there will some Bartók about you.

I am in no way Anti Mr Kovjev,,,you could say i am Pro Kovjev...

I thought you were the expert on this? Or handel I been wrong? 

I like it. 2 of my favorite activities in one thread

magnus is refered to as the Mozart of chess

Ain't it the truth! Ain't it the truth!

And so he is.  His play is as elegant as a Mozart symphony.  Chess is as natural to Magnus as music was to Mozart, and they were both child prodigies.  That can't be taught. 

Harold C. Schonberg, music critic for the New York Times in the 1960s and 70s, wrote that Capablanca was the Mozart of chess in his 1973 book, Grandmasters of Chess.  Mr. Schonberg then went on to compare Alekhine to Wagner.  Seems appropriate.

Well I hope you Can-Can be Offenbach... You know, chess players don't really Can-Can though... or should I say they Can't-Can't, or Won't-Won't?

Now everybody Kan-Kann!

I Kan-Kann and you Kan-Kann.
So why should not we two Kan-Kann?
Who Kan-Kann like you Kan-Kann?
Who Kan do Kan-Kann like you Kann?
Only Immanuel Kant Kan't do do to to the Kan-Kann.
To the tune they Kan-Kann to,
we'll polka while we parley-vous with a Caro-bou...
Few Kan-Kann like you Kan-Kann
in the Caro-Kann polka.

One bishop, two bishop
Knee up high and wave your toes
One a6, two c6
we're bound to Maroczy round the clocksy all knight long!
That's the way this polka goes

One Gurgenidze, two Gurgenidze
Simple when you know what your needs are (begins with pizza)
Turn round, bend down, when you Pan-ov to your left, I'll Botvinnik to my right,
in the Caro-Kann polka...

They Kann do it in the follies
all those French Defense damas and dollies
the Korchnoi Variation in the chess players' hallies 
looking frilly in their frilly foll-dee-rollies

Dressed only in their flounces
Everybody pounces
When they win with the Kan-Kann.

I Kan-Kann and you Kan-Kann.
We don't have to be Robert or Thomas Mann-Mann.
So why should not we two Kan-Kann?
Who Kan-Kann like you Kan-Kann?
Who Kan do Kan-Kann like you Kann?
To the tune they Kan-Kann to, 
we'll polka while we parley-vous with a Caro-bou...
Just don't let those hillbillies attack you
When you follow your Prins-iples there will be no Fantasy for you...
Few Kan-Kann like you Kan-Kann
In the Caro-Kann Polka...

Robert shows some cheerful erudition in classical music here - and some others do too, whom I don't know that well...

Here's my unmodest contribution to the thread:

A great piece of music by Manuel de Falla. The amount of excitement and verve in this music cannot be expressed with words. Just unbelievable music!

yeah mozart overrated imo good but not best by any means

Thanks for sharing this! I'm really enjoying your playing on your YouTube videos.  I just gave you a thumbs-up for your lovely rendition of Beethoven Op. 10, No. 3!  Bravo.
