Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 2,681 Posted November 16, 2019 MOST Excellent~!! Impossible to listen to without your feet moving! And by the way... I'm much more likely to open a thread entitled "Can-Can" started by Subdeacon Joe than Alpo. With all due respect to both! 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Subdeacon Joe 14,510 Posted November 16, 2019 I have to say, it always tweeks my mind some when I remember that the Can-Can is part of an Offenbach classical comic opera. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 1,096 Posted November 17, 2019 A confession: Watching a multitude of videos like unto these, is the exact reason a certain (harrumph) saloon of mention (harrumph) paid good money to its piano players, why said saloon had a stage, and why a certain lovely lass and the other dancers flanking her, wore feathered masks ... so a certain (harrumph) town of mention (harrumph) would not know the daughter of a respected businesswoman was disporting herself most shamelessly on stage, to the approbation of the men assembled! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 4,099 Posted November 17, 2019 Okay! That was fun. But, I have a serious (maybe Alpoesque ) question. Do conductors really serve a purpose? Or, are they merely for comic relief? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or, are they merely for comic relief? Conductors are supposed to. I played in the band for 6 years, and I would have hated to have tried to play for that guy - Zubin whoever. Half the time he did not appear to be in rhythm with the music. And since he is supposed to be giving you the rhythm, the orchestra was apparently ignoring him. He looked, to me, more like he was trying to entertain the audience, than he was trying to lead the orchestra. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes me feel better that was not the only one that thought the conductor was out of time with the music. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 351 Posted November 18, 2019 WoW!!!!!!!!! I was out of breath just listening to that. That was possibly the fastest tempo I've ever heard for that piece. The brass were probably double or triple tonguing at the beginning 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's excellent, 'specially considering it was created almost eighty years ago! But when I first saw it at age four or five, it was terrifying... made more so by a mean ol' aunt (my dear Aunt Bea, who was all of 12 years old at the time) whose primary delight in life was to scare the dickens out of her little nephew by any means possible. As I recall, she assured me that the demons were quite real, and their sole purpose was to find and eat little boys - and I was on their list. Fortunately, she mellowed considerably with age... and is now a sweet li'l ol' lady living in the foothills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
