Good morning and welcome to Classical Discoveries!

Cute baby viole 🎻

Good morning Marvin, how wonderful to hear your show today! Very best regards Dorothee

Good morning, Dorothee or should

I say good afternoon?

Yes indeed, it's 1.52pm here.

I enjoyed that harpsichord & p.d. viole piece on the rainy drive into work!

So it works both ways!

This last piece by Joanne Metcalf had such haunting harmonies. 🌅 Good morning Marvin & all!

This is beautiful piece!

Good morning again to everyone!!

This melody is a fiddle tune known as Blackberry Blossom

The one that just ended that is ha... a favorite of bluegrass festival pickers

They have taken this tune and done some very interesting things with it! Changed some parts of the melody into a minor key for that last bit. Very interesting! Only on wprb!

Good morning! Thanks for the program Marvin.

Good morning, Robert and thanks, Brian for your comments!

Awesome selection, I was like, "this sounds like Godzilla," and lo and behold!

Thank you Marvin for your thoroughly enjoyable show!

You never know what I will come up with!! LOL

For real, totally surprised me with that one, loved it though

I really enjoyed the show Marvin! Cage prepared piano! Love that

Thank you and I look forward to next week. Dorothee

Great show, thanks Marvin!

Thank you all so much for listening!! Have a great week!

Such an eclectic show this morning; thank you @Marvin. I especially loved The Sea's Wash in the Hollow of the Heart.
