FRIDAY NIGHT DOG BLOG – SOUNDS OF THE UNEXPECTED March 21, 2009

Whatever Beethoven had in mind when he composed his Piano Sonata No 31 in A Flat Major, it was not dogs and gum trees.
It was equally true when I was taking photos, mostly of Sasha and Dexter, I did not have Beethoven in mind.
So does the combination work? Let’s hope it is not totally discordant. Here goes:
Suffice to say there were a few problems in the process of producing the product. Another musical selection would effectively create another experience. I thought last weeks slide slow was too short, and this week may be too long.
We will again this week run over to Modulators Friday Ark to hopefully board before they sail.
Wikipedia appears to be a good source for more information on Beethoven’s Piano Sonato 31.

Looks good to me. It must sound nice too – I will have to bring Cameo to your blog. He’ll be back only on Tuesday (He’s leaving today evening.)
(This means that I am left alone with that crazy woman. She hates the keyboard and beats its keys so ferociously with her misshapen, elongated paws, that I fear for its life! And when Cameo goes away, she spends most of her time trying to kill that keyboard. It’s painful to watch!)
But she’s a better cook of canine food than Cameo; so this dark cloud too has a silver lining:)

These slide shows are something new to me and present new challenges. So, if they do not work as well as they might in every instance, that is evidence to indicate there is more to learn.
I was always told not to be a keyboard basher, but I know from direct experience that some people seem to be far more heavy-handed than necessary. As you say, Oorvi, it is painful to experience, and probably lessens the useful life of the keyboard.
As far as I can tell, Sasha and Dexter, are pretty much happy to eat whatever is put in front of them. If they had complaints, I would be prepared to let the more accomplished and better informed cook do the duties.
As always your comments are very much appreciated.
What a lovely piece of music. I could feel my shoulders relax as I watched and listened. Once more I am struck by your green landscape… so different from mine at the moment. You are so right in how music sways our experience and interruption.
Pleased you liked the music Colleen. I agree I find the music very peaceful.
Beethoven is one of my favorite people ever, reading a lot about him in his own words and those of others. What an incredibly spiritual person he was. His view of God was intimate and personal. He deemed it as the reason for his musical abilities. His belief in God is also reminiscent of Mother Teresa’s. Unbeknownst to many, she questioned God often in the face of heartbreak and struggle. Who would have thought? I most certainly did. Nietzsche is one of my favorite people too for his struggle for sense of being in an extraordinary complicated world–Sartre too.
Mark 9:24 reveals an important message. Christ tells a man whose son is ill that “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” “Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” Christ himself said on the Cross amid excruciating pain just before his death, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” IChrist had doubts. We too shall have them. “Ye are gods.” I find that in Beethoven’s music a most solemn and beautiful belief in God, more present than most other classical composers. Embedded therein is his personal struggle and surrender. This is the peace “that passes all understanding.”
Wmmbb – Did I say thank you for posting this? Thank you.
It is enough that you enjoyed it, Judith.
Thanks, redux.
