An email from a loyal listener (don’t laugh Ian!) reads:
Here’s a good soother for the soul – Haydn Piano Concerto #9 in G major second movement.
BUT THEN … a week later! Ian writes and says, Actually, the one I meant was No. 4, not 9 – my mistake. I like all of them, but it is the No. 4 that’s my favorite slow movement.
So now we have Haydn’s piano concerto #4 in G major second movement.
Enjoy
Arcangelo Corelli’s Concerto grosso in G minor, Op.6 no.8 -II- Allegro
