Ladies Musical Club of Seattle – University House, Wallingford, Seattle\u00a0 – February 10, 2025<\/p>\n

The program for this concert was billed as “Woodwind Trios” and selections of “Piano Works by Piazzolla, Ravel, & Gershwin”.\u00a0 The former might well have been dubbed “Double-Reed Woodwind Trios”, as the lineup consisted of two oboes and an English horn, a configuration that is quite limited in available repertoire.\u00a0 For a nebulosity-bump (and news to me) it was explained that the English do not refer the instrument as the “English horn”, they instead use the translated-into-French “Cor Anglais”.\u00a0 Which, of course, should not be confused with what the American hoi-polloi refer to as the “French horn”, otherwise known in the professional musician community as simply “horn” (“cor” in French); Wikipedia identifies that<\/em> brass instrument as “technically a variety of German horn”.\u00a0 \u00a0So if you want to know what the instrument played by the English hornist (Perstein) looks like, this is not the correct post, as it was all but obscured by her music stand!\u00a0 I hope you have enjoyed the journey through this terminological hornets-nest as much as I have in curating it.\u00a0 Be grateful that I chose to demur venturing down the richly dendritic “corn=horn” etymological pathway.<\/p>\n

I’m a sucker for all things Piazzolla, and appreciated pianist Gibb indulging my infatuation.\u00a0 My recollection (getting progressively less reliable these days, so don’t hold me to it) is that Ravel was omitted from the actual performed program, with a second Gershwin piece substituted.\u00a0 Is it just me (getting progressively less reliable in general), or do works of that composer virtually invite embellishment, whether spontaneous or by well-planned design?\u00a0 \u00a0Whichever was the case, Gibb, having assimilated them to second-nature status, gave her personal stamp.<\/p>\n
