Oh-kay.
So Kamran Ince didn't go down too well amongst the Four Seasons brigade.
On to something completely different.
One of my favourite solo piano works, and one of my two favourite pieces by Haydn.
Mostly I'd rate Haydn as wonderful 2nd tier stuff, but in this quarter hour long piano piece he hits the musical nail on the head for me.
It's a set of variations and to my humble ear it has a marvellous sense of continuity, grace and melancholy beauty.

Quite a few recordings around, I've chosen one by Austrian pianist Friedrich Gulda.
Help yourself to any of the others.
Let's see what you lot think.
It's the first piece on this album. (The rest of the album is wonderful, too. A great pianist, Gulda, he's handy with the jazz syncoptaions as well, or so I am informed.). Unfortunately, the lively succeeding Mozart piece follows far too quickly after the sadly sublime ending of the Haydn.
