Found a nineteenth century polka-mazur (a Viennese dance form) that has quite the resonant title: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MJC...
Decided to test google images on this bit of flute repertoire (orchestral) that was excerpted and played on a reel on Facebook. I know this piece of music and it will come to me eventually (so this was a sincere query). Big fail by google. Suggested Beethoven Symphony 7 and Mahler 6. Please.
experiment... to see how to post a gif as a video (and it appears to work)
Had some things, spicy in spots, to say about a recent volume (to appear after copyediting in Journal of the History of Sexuality):
I don't post here much anymore, but I did want to get the news out there that I will be retiring at the end of February 2025. I will continue to write some, though I am pretty certain that my major writings have been done. (attached is a picture of my sweet Nelson (RIP 2023) from 2005)
