Fall ("Autumn"?) seems to be approaching more quickly than usual where I live. I was playing the nicely recorded album by Stan Getz entitled "Focus" and was struck by the atmosphere and mood induced, which somehow reminded me of the attributes of the season called "Fall".Any other suggestions for music that might befit the fall season would be appreciated.

I am listening to 'As summer into Autumn Slips' Branford Marsalis.
Bax's "November Woods." Really great piece

Good suggestion.
Autumn? Traditional 20th to mid 20c Brahms performance practice - but with some exceptions!Well, ... that was what the critique was, no!? ;-) Good old, brown, autumnal Brahms! eh? ;-)
For me Autumn is about all the deciduous trees - Canberra is a planned garden city with huge numbers of foreign deciduous trees
(along with lots of native trees and shrubs and heaps of bushland.)
It's also a time for cropping and canning fruit, digging up and storing tubers and Autumn veggies, even planting winter veg. It's a good time for livestock prices as well.
Making Autumn a rich, colourful and almost epicurean time for us.
So? Lully, Rameau, and Handel. And, some sensibly happy Haydn.
Plus some obscure hard to follow - even misty? - leider.
:-)!

seems to evoke autumn to me.Perhaps, it is the tranquil, pre-WWII spirit of the piece.
P.S. Never mind what Copland said about it. Listen for yourself.

Any jazz song/album that features Autumn as a theme or title.
Opening of Ravel String Quartet maybe too...
Sorry, Andy! I've just got this compulsion to trot that subject line out whenever I can! ;-)

Streaming at 16/44.1 and it's anything but boring!
Not sure if the YT embedding works but here you go:Schubert's D960 Piano sonata by Artur Schnabel
Debussy's Images 'Et la lune descend sur un temple qui fut' played by Claudio Arrau
Bach Cello Suite No.1 played by Paul Tortelier
Sinatra 'September of my Years'

taste in Schubert performances. If you haven't tried them already, may I recommend also the Schnabel D. 959 in A+ and D. 950 in D+. The "slow" movement of the latter is, for me, one of those pieces into which I get lost, and no amount of repetition makes it stale.

I think I meant D 850 for the big D+. Sorry.
and quite beautiful as well. Sample at 2:02 and listen to the billowing strings at 2:38
Ah, the '80's....
1. Zukerman
2. Tortelier
3. Celibidache or Robert Shaw Atlanta (in German)
OK?
Saw it live last evening at Davies Hall, San Francisco Choral Society
I think of the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings in B minor, Op. 115, of which I have the performance by Chamber Music Northwest.
Another work of "autumnal" Brahms (it's even in the title!):
Somewhat of a funereal performance, but folks will get the idea. As you say, LOTS of autumnal Brahms beyond the pieces we noted.
As for Dvorak: the slow movement of the Cello Concerto (in fact, lots of Dvorak slow movements), Slavonic Dances Op. 72 Nos. 2 and 8. . . full of a kind of autumnal wistfulness.
Bracingly Andante teneramente and definitely not Adagio.
ATB,
JM
