Ellyn, great to hear from you! We lived in the town (Stockbridge) with Rockwell’s museum, so we heard a lot about his sons. Your Exploratorium guy is the son of one of the sons. Do you know which one?...

Comment on A LATE QUARTET: DON’T MISS IT! by tms
Thanks for the recommendation, Judith – I’ll definitely keep my eyes open. Beethoven’s late quartets are fine music and high in my list – but I do not listen to them very often because I think they are...

Thanks for the tip and the link to the trailer – this looks like a great film. I’ve just checked the UK release date and apparently it’s April 2013 – good grief, why must we wait so long?!

This particular Beethoven quartet is INTENSE. In fact, “intense” is the word a music critic used for the performance by the Brentano Quartet which is used in the movie. I’m with you, I find those late...

That really is a long time difference, Karen! You might want to read Vikram Seth’s An Equal Balance while you’re waiting. I LOVED that book, about the travails of a second violinist and the quartet he...

You only get to see one of them in the film (and only a cameo at that) but you do get to hear them in the Beethoven. It’s an experience! I hope the film will be coming out in New Zealand.

What a warm and friendly place! And I love their great selection of tea – I see they have green tea – definitely a cafe I would love to hang out at!
