    Raindrops, like perhaps most Chopin pieces, is structured ABA--first strain, second strain, recapitulation of first strain. The "turbulent" section of Raindrops is the second strain, or section B.

    Edit: By the way, when you refer to "Raindrops", I presume you are talking about this piece:

    Satie can be a bit austere for a Chopin lover. I got a million of 'em, so how about this one:

    Have generally enjoyed both of the piano concertos overall, not sure if I prefer one over the other yet. Haven't heard the Szell-Fliesher recording of the first, though.

    I'm assuming it's referring to the conductor and soloist, respectively. Though I'm only familiar with Szell, so far. :\

    Yes, it's his surname. Believe his recordings are very highly-regarded.

    For the past couple weeks, I've been listening to an absolutely mesmerizing rendition of Bach's Prelude in Eb minor (BWV 853). Thanks, Bach! And thanks, Glenn Gould!

    Continuing with Brahms today by revisiting String Quintet No. 2, listening to it right now, and hearing No. 1 for the first time later. Also, on a sidenote, heard Saint-Saens' Piano Concerto No. 5 earlier.

    Brahms must be a favourite these days..... :slight_smile:

    Listening to Brahms' Clarinet Sonata No. 1. It's the first time I'm listening to Brahms' Clarinet Sonatas.

    Not quite, though he is somewhat growing on me. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: How was the sonata?

    Not sure how I feel about it at this point. I will need to listen to it again.

    About to start listening to Max Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1.

    Listening to Brahms' Piano Quartet No. 2 right now, would say I'm enjoying it but may revisit later since there's a somewhat prominent hiss on the tracks. Though it's the sort which doesn't really distract as you continue to hear it. Might also revisit some other pieces for alternate recordings to save, since a couple of them had heavy breathing [not the good kind] which drives me mad. x_____x

    Heavy breathing? Was it, by any chance, this piece?

    Ah, sometimes I forget how much older I am than some of you guys. :lol:

    Ravel's "Bolero" has something of a reputation as "sex music". This dates from its use in the Dudley Moore/Bo Derek movie 10.
