Brief Hiatus

Tomorrow I will be going out of town for a few days and may not have the opportunity to post much to the blog. So in the meantime, there are lots of older posts that you might find interesting. Here are a few from the early days of the Music Salon, way back in June, 2011:

Here is one of my more outrageous posts from back then:

That should keep you occupied for a bit. Now let's end with a great piece of music by Beethoven: the Archduke Trio. The artists are a rather remarkable trio of Emil Gilels, piano, Leonid Kogan, violin and Mstislav Rostropovich, cello.
