Musical Notes

[poliphilo]

Thing about the Beatles is there's no filler. Take Revolver: every song is doing something interesting and every one is a classic. During those magical years of the mid sixties those four guys couldn't put a foot wrong. They're experimenting and every experiment comes off. It's avant-garde and it's hummable. 

Michael Moorcock in one of the Jerry Cornelius books calls them "the poets of paradise."

And this is a call to vicarchori: the year is (still) 1670 and a harpsichord virtuoso is giving a little concert at an evening soiree. We're in Southern France and the musician is Italian. Any suggestions for pieces he might be playing?

Thanks!

And Revolver is my absolute favourite Beatles album.
