[brynalin]

wow. just wow.

@brynalin I agree. : )

And I'll be re-doing these Rachmaninoff uploads and moving them to my new channel soon, MB7classical. So please meet me there. : D

This is a good example on how you can take a theme and make several variations on it, making it dynamic and interesting.

Thanks for uploading Mark

@gonrolgonrol This Fantaisie-tableaux set has converted some avowed Rachmaninoff haters I know.

: )

[gonrolgonrol]

@PrettyGoodies1 :D

@PrettyGoodies1

Yes, this is exactly my case :) no 3 convinced me that Rach's music might be valuable. Love his string quartets too, particularly the second movement of the unachieved one.

[PrettyGoodies1]

@karkasos I have a few more things of his to upload ... if I ever find the time!

I like his confidence - and clarity ... his masculinity. - He's refreshing as well as interesting!

I liked this. Are you shocked? Perhaps because it was short and dramatic. I especially like the birdcage shot and the girl painting.

On another note......I *really* would love to go to a foot fish place like Joy had shot in one of thE previous uploads:)

[PrettyGoodies1]

@prplhze You should like it! It's some of the best stuff ever. : D

O and I love that fish therapy idea too. I wonder why it doesn't come here to America. Maybe you should be the first to open such a spa in the U.S.! Maybe you can start up a whole chain.

:-) :-))

Love the photos you've chosen for this piece, especially the painter! I can almost see her brush strokes on the canvas!

[PrettyGoodies1]

@karinpeterkamilla I do love the ways in which sounds and images resonate with one another.

And I was worried at the start of this 4-part project that I wouldn't find enough material on Joy's stream. But her stream did not let me down! I have in fact enough shots left over for another upload sometime. : )
