| Aug-29-12 | | Helios727: I noticed on the opening explorer that the Evan's Gambit Accepted has a much greater than average success rate for white. Is that because it is used a lot by masters against amateurs in simuls, or is it really that good of an opening for white? |

 | | technical draw: This great work of art introduced me to classical music exactly 50 years ago. It was just part of a series of music pieces on a stereo demo record. (remember that was 1962 and stereo was just starting). The record had other music put I played this one over and over again and I was hooked. Enjoy and maybe get hooked too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL4P... |

 | | WannaBe: That's not Tchaikovsky!! - Piano Concerto No.1 Op.23 in B Flat Minor was by Jo Han Sebastian, who later married some dude named Bach. Tchaikovsky did Ugly Duckling Lake, and Napping Women; both in B- Flat Major with 5 sharps, that drove all the players nuts. Especially when the bow pokes you in the eye. (Maybe Bach did Piano Concerto No. 23 Opus #1 in F Sharp Minor... I always get those things confused.) |

 | | Phony Benoni: <WannaBe> Hey, don't Knock the Bach! But, surprsing as it may seem, that is indeed Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1 Op.23 in B Flat Minor. I say surprising because I didn't know <td> could count above 20. |

| | HeMateMe: <Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1 Op.23 in B Flat Minor. > Is that redundant? Isn't B flat already a minor, by defintion? |

No. B flat's a note. |
|

| | Phony Benoni: <HeMateMe> Apparently not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RaG...
Don't ask me to explain, though. I'm not a musician, and I have my doubts whether this can be adequately understood by non-musicians. But I do like Bach. |

| | HeMateMe: I feel terrible for those people in Lousianna. They are getting nailed by another monster hurricane. People are driving power boats down streets. It's like living in Bangledesh. |
|
| Aug-30-12 | | Wayne Proudlove: PB & HMM,
A classical song's listing has the following information:
the composer
the instrument (piano)
the kind of piece (concerto)
the number 1 denotes Tchaikovsky's first concerto.
Op. is short for opus (work). Tchaikovsky's Op. 23 is his 23rd work.
The last is the key; B flat starts on the Bflat note and ends on it. Minor makes it sad-sounding. |

 | | Shams: <Is that redundant? Isn't B flat already a minor, by defintion?>
Every key is both a major and a minor (actually there are several types of minor keys but we'll pretend there's just one, the natural minor, for each key.) Play an octave in C-major from middle C on a piano. All the white keys, simple. Now drop three half-steps and play the same notes, all the white keys, but play the octave from A to A instead. Now it's A-minor. So B-flat can be major, in which case its relative minor is G. Or B-flat can be minor, with D-flat its relative major, three half-steps higher on the keyboard. Make sense? |

| | Phony Benoni: <Shams> Uh, no. I have several musician friends, and when they start throwing this stuff around I just glaze over and wait for the sky to clear. It's probably the same way they feel when I toss <zugzwang>, <Nezhmetdinov> and <GOOT> into the same sentence. |

| | HeMateMe: <Wayne Proudlove> I logged on to allthingsclassical.com and tried to find a breakdown of the Sex Pistols, via opus No., major/minor, etc., but their database seems incomplete. Don't the Sex Pistols or Ramones deseve an opus? |
