General Banter / Vets Day

Greetings vets. Since we have been meeting up for years now I was wondering if anything is planned. I would gladly return to the Applebees we met at last year.

This device might be useful to me since I always ride alone. I'm going to look into it.

Hi all,
Yes the symphony was big at 45 minutes. Very emotional too. There was more brass than I like but I found the symphony more approachable than the symphonies of Mahler. I still find I prefer Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and Dvorak. This performance we attended was the first time I have seen our orchestra split the violins left and right European style. 7

Any Shostakovich is new to me. I have no recordings of his music.
Interesting you should mention the 5th Symphany. The MN orchestra is performing it Nov 12 and I have tickets 8

I found the last 6 symphonies of Bruckner at the library. They are long and monumental but not as spikey as Mahler's symphonies. I know I will be buying the 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th and 9th. 9

Hi all,
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried some Mahler again but it is just too modern for me. Maybe it will grow on me over time or maybe I just need to see one of his symphonies performed in concert. 10
General Banter / Most fun ride of 2010« on: January 03, 2011, 03:09:29 PM »
Hi All,
On the old forum we would post our favorite ride for the year. I will continue that tradition. My solo trip to the Black Hills was the most fun trip I did in 2010. I also rode thru the badlands nat'l park. It was near dusk in the park and the colors off the canyon walls were amazing. The roads were mostly free of traffic except in the southern part of the black hills. I got home without incident after riding 5 days. Anyone else have a favorite trip? 11

I found a recording of Das Leid Von Der Erde at the library and listened to the first half of it and decided it just isn't for me. I will go back to Brahms. I can't find any symphonies by Chopin.

Hi all,
I have been enjoying classical music for many years. I listen to everything from Bach to Brahms. I'm now looking for music by Gustav Mahler. But where do I start? Can anyone recommend a symphony that isn't too astringent, bombastic or atonal? Kevin 13

Greetings everybody. I'm not an MSTA member but I was on MN-Sportbike for a few years. I have even met some of you. I don't have net access at home so I don't post much. I'm also a solo rider so I don't attend group rides often. I recognize a few names from the MN-Sportbike days. Maybe I will see some of you at
Taco day. Kevin Roetzer
