Antics mar music of PDO Bach
The concert began with the visiting artist's road manager announcing that the performer hadn't arrived but that the concert would begin anyway. It ended with the performer's piano bench blowing up amid a cloud of smoke.
All of which is routine in today's rock shows. But it isn't something an audience of the Kansas City Philharmonic expects in Music Hall.
But Saturday night, allowances were made to accommodate the style—or lack of it—the Philharmonic's special guest. This was Peter Schickele: composer, conductor, arranger and fabricator of musical tall tales.
CHICKELE DID arrive for the show. He appeared, half-dressed and out-of-breath, on the first balcony. He produced a rope, which he lowered himself to the auditorium floor.
ckard's
On stage he began his customary lecture on an obscure 18th-century composer—one who scholars of music insist never existed—P.D.Q. Bach. Schickele has devoted about 20 years to proving them wrong, but he still faces a skeptical public, even after recording six albums of P.D.Q.'s music and writing "The Definitive Biography of
P. D.Q. Bach (1807-1742)?"
TO SHARE his research on the dubious composer with the public. Schickel has been a professor at St. Mary's, which P.D.G. is blamed. He also attempts to stifle ruminous rumors, one of which, he says, is that Christopher Marlowe actually wrote the music Schickle traces to P.D.G.
Nonsense, Schickele cries. "Frankly,
Marlowe could have done a better
killer."
But many doubts remain, hard-core skeptics who insist that P.D.Q. wasn't "the last and least" of Johann Sebastian Bach's many children; that P.D.Q. didn't spend his
Performance
live at Wein-am-Rhein, Germany; that he never wrote the opera "Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice (S. 2-1);" and that the greetie is a hoax.
THESE PEOPLE probably don't believe Schickle when he says he is a temed professor at the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoolpe.
But even if the "evidence" Schickele presents to prove P.D. Q. Bach's existence is irrelevant, that is, when it comes to the
Schickle began having fun with P.D. Kab while studying at the Jullillard School of Music in New York. He later taught at Jullillard and has written music in several styles; a rock group he organized several years ago arrived on the Broadway show "Oh! Calmica!"
HE FOUND willing accomplices in Kansas City for his fun. Frank Collura, the Philharmonic's new associate conductor, seemed to have a great time as he guided the orchestra through the ridiculous counterpoint demanded by the music.
delightful, irreverent parody of forms used extensively by composers of the 1790s. The concertos, sonatas and suites are musically absurd but all is true to its form.
And Kansas City's professional musicians couldn't hide their smiles as they watched their guest intentionally stumbled over chairs and music stands.
But when Schickele presents the baraque and classical form of P.D.Q. Bach, he adds a much more profound influence.
The more ridiculous the form, the more expertly the orchestra mastered it. The local musicians' mistakes of the dozens of intentional mistakes was nearly perfect.
IN THE MIDDLE movement of the 'Gross Concison for Divers Flutes, Two

Trumpets and Strings in C Major (S, 2)-"for example, the music builds, in two long rehearsal cadences, to form a long, repeated. The listeners prepare for the upward progression of tones to reach the tonic key in which it began. But the progression is retraced and the music shoots off in another."
Pink Floyd's 'Animals' lacks real bite
An inherent characteristic of the music of both P.D. Q. Bach and Shickele (if the two can be considered separate) is plagiarism. Not petty plagiarism, lifting a measure here and there, but theft of complete melodies. In a musical context this can result in the listener's total confusion.
In "Eine Kleine Nichtmusk," a work Schickele she wrote he wrote "with a little help from Mozart," one detects snatches of the music of the Black Jack, "Jake" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
THE HUMOR inherent in this music has a nobility疯 that sets it apart from most music.
Schnickele the learned professor is funny when he confides to an audience that "a lot of people don't believe anything I say." But Schickele the clown is more suited for an episode of "Hee-Haw" than a concert hall performance.
Getting his finger caught in a mouse trap on the piano keyboard is all right; doing bump and run across it creep. Sure he's poking fun at the solemnity associated with classical music, but does he need to play milkmaid and squash beside it with a pallet between them.
In spite of this 'seal in performance', Schickle does transmit his fun to the audience. The violinist Bach is the music, and for this one needn't go to Schickle's concerts. For about $6, a P.D.Q. Bach album can provide as much joy as much longer, as a $7.50 seat at Music Hall.
Side of the Moon." Without unity, the chain makes an important statement. When it comes to this question,
"Animals" has some excellent moments, but they are engulfed by the album's weaker moments. Perhaps it should be repeated or even repeated for parts of enjoyment without interruption.

In 1973, Pink Floyd made an indelible mark on the world of rock with the brilliant album "Dark Side of the Moon." Four years later, they have to tiple that feature "Animals," "Animals," "Unfortunately, 'Animals' is a pale shadow of the earlier success.

AWAY WITH WORDS
"The Dark Side of the Moon" was a probing look at many facets of life. It was a powerful, haunting work. "Animals" looks on at young children. It is not a pretty picture that is painted.
In its newest album, Pink Floyd sees people as three types of animals: pigs, dogs and sheep. The album has the potential to say important things about what man is and why he is that way. But it fails, for a number of reasons.

A company is formed when a number of investors, who have agreed to sell their rights in the ownership of the company and agree to pay them for the time that they have held the rights, come together to form an agreement. In this case, the investors are the same group of people who originally bought the company from a different person. When a company is formed, all the investors agree to hold their rights in the company until it is dissolved or sold to someone else. If the company is dissolved, the investors may buy back their rights and return the money to the company.
