Erik's Rant
 

March 8, 2007

It is like finding out a friend's dirty little secret.

I like Don of Mixolydian Mode. I have never met him in person, but from his writing he has always seemed like a reasonable, cultured, intelligent guy.

So imagine my shock and horror when I see that he listens to Scarlatti performed on piano. It is something like finding out that your local pharmacist is the head of the Klan, or something like that.

Repeat, over and over, as a mantra:

Scarlatti should be played on harspichord, or, at the very least, on wood-framed fortepiano, guitar, or accordion.
Scarlatti should be played on harspichord, or, at the very least, on wood-framed fortepiano, guitar, or accordion.

I'll pray for you, Don.

Have you read Michelle Obama's thesis?

It would be nice to take bets on how far you can go without need for, well, outside measures to continue reading.
