For those not in the know, I should have made clear that I was not speaking of music by B'ven for Mandolin and other music by B'ven for Harpsichord, I was speaking of music for Mandolin-Harpsichord Duo. Which as I recall, I didn't really mind hearing once.
For those who might want to psychoanalyze my ambiguity about the old guy (who really is kind of like the Deity of the Old Testament as far as the Western Canon goes: The Hairy Thunderer From Whom There is No Escaping) you need look no further than the Trio Op. 121a, Variations in G on "Ich bin der Schneider Kakadu." I really hear the heavens opening up, and all mysteries explained.
Yeah, right.
My plan is to stay right with the Lord, because the Hell that awaits me might be nonstop Kakadu Variations. Or, horrible thought, even playing the violin part a la marionette... . Yikes!
