Valentin Silvestrov (1937- ), Bagatelle no .1 (2005). Music from this century, imagine! I heard this music around 2023, & was convinced it was too easy. Later, I got the score, over time have come to understand (and love) the piece. Dmytro Choni performs Bagatelles 1-3 5/ youtu.be/d39VnUjlons?...

F.J. Haydn (1732–1809), Piano Sonata in C Major, Hob.XVI/50, L. 60. I selected a recording from Steven Lin, below -- but there are many nice recordings. The 1st movement is the most difficult, and the 3rd mvt. reminds me so much of the "Surprise Symphony" story. 3/ youtu.be/6Q7yZzJBSQM?...

I've looked for other recordings with a similar sound -- and have not found one except for Stabat Mater. I have a lot of Renaissance stuff with men covering all the parts, countertenors & counter sopranos (Hillard ensemble, Cinquento, Beauty Farm, etc.), or women in soprano & men below. hmmm

Yes, the lines cross, and there's a lot of overlap in range between the two voices. It is now that I realize what your original post meant. (apologies) Score (?? how authoritative this is) for the nitty gritty. www.cpdl.org/wiki/images/...

Oh, I love this piece! I sang it in undergrad (I went to a women's college) -- we had women divided into altos and sopranos. When I hear it, I am hearing the countertenor (Andreas Scholl ) in the alto, and the soprano (Barbara Bonney) in the higher soprano part.

Welcome to our world Riona! We lost Inca the Rottweiler at 8 years old about a month ago. It didn't feel right, to be at home with no dog, and I missed inca terribly. We found Riona the Rottweiler at an SPCA and she is a gem. Nikon z6ii, f/1.8, 1/400s, ISO4000, 50mm, handheld.

A Rottweiler female dog lies on a floor mattress, and looks off camera. She has a crinkly ball at her feet. She has a gray muzzle and looks friendly.
