[Lucy Hamilton]

Earlier I was listening to Béla Bartók "String Quartet No. 5", on the record player.

You Tube being amazing, they have all of Bartók's String Quartet's uploaded.

The painting in the background of course, this is Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition VIII" from 1923, Kandinsky's early Bauhaus period....I love Kandinsky, one of my favourite artists.

This is the Allegro from "String Quartet No. 5":



Then I listened to Imarhan, who are Tuareg from Algeria and are on City Slang Records which is owned and run by some friends of our's in Berlin:

City Slang Records

Imarhan

The whole Imarhan album is completely astonishing.

This is Imarhan's song "Tahabort" which is amazing, incredibly intricate guitar work and in general just extraordinary noise, they're on tour throughout Europa this month and also March, we must go and watch them do their thing:

Robert Schumann "Op. 41, no. 3 in A major" (Second Movement: Assai agitato)

Composed in 1842 "Op. 41, Three String Quartets in A minor, F and A major", it's absolutely sumptuous and divine.

This is performed by The Manfred Quartet.





As well as being a prolific composer of the Romantic Era, Schumann was also a well-known music critic. The majority of his writings appeared in Die Neue Zeitschrift für Musik - The New Journal of Music - which he founded in 1834 and published by Schott Musik of Mainz, Schott still publish Die Neue Zeitschrift für Musik to this day.

Schott Musik is the oldest music publishing house in Europa, and the second oldest music publishing house in the world.

I've written articles and also written reviews for Die Neue Zeitschrift für Musik in my capacity as a Freelance.

Here is it's website:

journal

home


"In 1834 the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik was founded by Robert Schumann. Since then, this magazine has dealt with the contemporary trends in music - issue by issue. Meanwhile the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik is read in over 40 countries all around the world.

Each issue deals with a special subject from the wide range of New Music: detailed and from many different points of view. Thus the issues are indispensable sources of information on major currents of the present even after years.

The Neue Zeitschrift für Musik is crossing borders: New Music is seen in relation to classical music, jazz, rock and independent. Furthermore the sections Weltmusik, Klangmomente, Crossover and Porträt present important phenomena in each issue - regardless of the main subject."

The late, great Warren Zevon...Carmelita



I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park

Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well, I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
They cut off your welfare check...
