And finally, a word of thanks to the longest-standing actor who contributed to the series: Steve Thomas-Green. In this episode he crawled under the skin of Mr. Zimmermann, the owner of the coffee house where Bach became one of the best customers... Thank you very much, Steve.

Great photo! Horowitz a bit reserved, as always and Rubinstein a bit full of himself, as always (No reflection on their pianistic genius, mind you😬)

Arnold Schoenberg b otd 150 years ago! Whatever one thinks of the music - a major figure, and great musician: "I find that the expression, "atonal music," is most unfortunate — it is on a par with calling flying "the art of not falling," or swimming "the art of not drowning."

This week’s listening after an amazing live show at VILLAGE VANGUARD MUSIC - check out at the fun rhythm play of “The Man I Love”! 💿🎶 #jazz #piano

Louis Armstrong and Velma Middleton. 🥰🎶#jazz #WednesdayMorningVibe

"One of the most extraordinary things about Bach is that his music had absolutely no affect on either the musicians or the public of his own day. According to the musical disposition of the period, he was generations behind his time." - Glenn Gould #ClassicalMusicMonth

No way I could have ever forced a hat like this on either one of my kids. Ever. Cereal must make American kids insubordinate. 😂😂😂 👒🎩#FridayFeeling
