Love this post. So much in it! How wonderful that you have that jasmine. I want a clip! And the Lidern/Lieder you're probably right about. A poet's mind thinks like that. (P.S. How can we hear Alma play?)
Thank you, LC! Alas, Alma apparently did not made any recordings during her 45 years on this mortal plane. She did, however, premiere violin pieces by Kurt Atterberg, Hans Pfitzner and Ernst Krenek and you can hear versions of these on Spotify. Krenek dedicated violin and violin and piano sonatas to her-- they were lovers--that are pretty wild and wooly...
A day later, and we’re having drinks at the end of a day of writing and still talking about this piece.
So that's why my ears were burning!
