A little gift

[elleng]

The Adagio in G minor for violin, strings and organ continuo, is a neo-Baroque composition popularly attributed to the 18th century Venetian master Tomaso Albinoni, but in fact composed almost entirely by the 20th century musicologist and Albinoni biographer Remo Giazotto.

1. That's amazing! One of my favoirte Baroque music

Was in the "Best Hits of 1720" from the 80s..

Still haunting.

2. One of my all-time favorites.

A bit unorthodox, but I like the version by The Doors. It was one of Jim Morrison's favorite pieces, too.

And another version, accompanying the final stanzas of Morrison's poem An American Prayer:

3. Glad you like it/them.

Been thinking of you/your wisdom, re: left side 'ache,' due to awkward position I use to take photos, leaning on open car door/frame.

Few days 'ache', ibuprofen not effective. Aleve better/useful? Acetominophen codeine preferred?

Happy weekend!

4. Aleve is naproxen, a non-steroidal like ibuprofen.

It's a more long-lasting formulation than ibuprofen, so that's why you're finding it more effective. Acetaminophen is a completely different kind of medication. I haven't found it to be effective for these cases. Acetaminophen/codeine is Tylenol-3. It's addictive, so I don't recommend it.

5. Thx

6. Always happy to help...

Thanks for the inspiration. I'm now listening to YouTube renditions of the 'Adagio' one after the other...

Incredibly moving piece.

When I was younger, I used to appear in a production of the Living Last Supper at my church every Easter, and the Adagio was always used as the intro to the performance.

Almost forgot: a scene from the 1975 action thriller Rollerball with James Caan, with the 'Adagio' as a lyrical interlude.

7. I'm happy to have found the Adagio,

posted by an acquaintance elsewhere; will keep it on my list.

8. I found it almost by accident.

I love the Canon in D by Pachelbel; have since I was a kid. One year, when I was about twelve, my mother got an LP with the Canon on it. It also had twelve contradances by Beethoven, Sleigh Ride by Mozart, and the Adagio. I fell in love with it at once, and have never fallen out...
