Good to hear this. I'm a fan of his Divertimento.

Me too! 😁😊

I had some lovely lessons from this delightful composer.

How do motifs take shape, turn into elegant tunes, and mold into a well-constructed work? Just listen to this stylish symphony by one of England's great composers for a perfect example. The third movement seems to evoke a foggy London; the finale, a delightful day at the fair.

I agree. I think that his First Symphony and Concerto for Two Pianos are very underrated works.

This man died on the day of my birth. Very special to hear this.

To quote what my dear ol' Gran'pappy may have said if he'd had the brains-"Coincidencii do not a special thing maketh!".
