Baroque and Waltzes [Revisited]
07.07.2022
From 60’s French baroque pop to Korean horror film soundtracks, today’s set revisits our past set inspired by re-imaginations of Western classical music. The set also includes an excerpt of the „Kreutzer“ or „Bridgetower“ sonata composed by Beethoven in Vienna in dedication to Black European and Austria-raised master violin player and composer, George Bridgetower.
This mix was made in the spirit of poet Rita Dove on her poetic re-interpretation of the life of George Bridgetower, „My tale is woven from historical events just as surely as the incidental details have been subjected to literary imagination. All the principle players once lived real lives—Mad King George and his spendthrift son „Penny,“ court lady Charlotte Papendiek and Miklós the Magnificient, „Papa“ Haydn and Emperor Napoleon, concert impressario Johann Saloman and street fidler Black Billy Waters. Even Thomas Jefferson makes a cameo, attending (as record shows) a Bridgetower concert in Paris mere months before the French Revolution errupts. Little George was nine at the time; as for Sally Hemming in the audience…well, here I claim poetic license.“
