Music played on July 21, 2019

We enjoyed a fine afternoon of music at Adrian’s, and some welcome indoor respite from the hot summer temperatures. Nine intrepid pianists showed up for an afternoon of music merriment. It was a performance day with no Baroque pieces - time to start working on your Bach and Handel!

The 'most popular composer' competition was a tight battle between an 'oldie' and a newcomer. Beethoven streaked out to a large early lead. But, Gershwin made a determined effort to catch.  With the last piece for the afternoon, Gershwin came up one piece short (3 vs 4). So, the winner of this month's award is: Ludwig von Beethoven.
