You are Invited!

December 13, 2006 at 4:41 AM

Yes, I know it's late notice, and most people have plans this time of year, but spontaneous musicians will be spontaneous musicians. I'm giving a recital with my aunt this coming Sunday at 2:00, here in balmy Tulsa, Oklahoma. If you're in the area and looking for some old fashioned parlor entertainment, come on over for a little Kreisler and Mozart, lightly seasoned with Stravinsky. (and of course, Bach is a always a given.) Christmas refreshments and background music to follow. RSVP, please, so I can plan my biscotti accordingly. And give directions.

I vowed to never leave my block again. The only exceptions are to buy food, and one time when some people drugged me and took me to St. Louis.
Bram will be there.

Greetings,
Bram Stoker? I think he@s dead. Could ruin the ambience.
Cheers,
Buri
Send me a recording and some biscotti, too. I'm sure you'll sound great.
Sydney is nearly right. It would be a good reason to go to the States, although expensive, but at that date I have a Christmasconcert. So I have a good excuse to miss this concert.
Sorry I cannot be there. Thanks for the invite, and I hope it goes well. My sister makes biscotti for me as a present every Chanukah, so please save yours for the others. Have a good holiday.
The taking of photographs or recordings of any kind is not allowed during the performance. Please remember to turn off your cell phones and pagers.

Biscotti ships really well, actually. I tried out Mario Batali's chocolate hazelnut recipe, as well as Giada's cranberry pistachio. You can taste both and tell me which one you like best.

puffin, you should've waited one more week when i'm in stillwater. you really should plan around my trips to OK more often.
What is the program?
Ha ha, Sydney!

I wanna know what the program is too. Sounds fun. I love that you're being accompanied by your aunt; making music with family members is just the best.

Sorry, June! And Stillwater's so close, too.

I'm playing the first movement of Mozart #3 (again), and 4 short Kreisler pieces/arrangements, like Liebesleid and Dvorak's Largo. Then the second movement of Stravinsky's Suite Italienne. 1st movement of Partita #1 in B minor (Bach). I haven't picked an order yet, and we will throw in the Danse Macabre if my aunt can pull off the tricky piano accompaniment on short notice. We'll see. I don't want it to be too long, but most of these pieces are short.

Intermission, then some Christmas tunes, like the Heifetz Ave Maria and O Holy Night, stuff like that. They can keep eating cookies at that point, or sing along if they like. Preferably not both at the same time, though.

Is cranberry pistachio biscotti food, you know like beans and potatos or something?
The best part about shipping biscotti is you don't have to wrap it or anything, just put the address and postage right on the piece of biscotti and it ships great! In Canada anyways...
Biscotti are Italian twice baked cookies. First, the dough is baked in a log, and then when the log cools, it is sliced and toasted once more. They're really only good for dipping in coffee. If you're into that sort of thing. Which I happen to be.

Beans and potatoes do not dunk quite as well.

No Spring Sonata ;)

I'll come if you drive me.

Hmm,maybe I'll pick you up when my tour takes me to PA. You could hook me up with the NY scene, and in return, I'll take you to some Amish farms.
