My favourite instruments

I have already written a lot about some of my favourite music.

I thought I might write about some of my favourite instruments.

I love the strings, and my favourite of these is the cello. The best example of music written for the cello are Bach's Cello Suites (BWV1007 to BWV1012). One of the best recordings is from Pablo Casals. It makes me purr like mad!

I also love the French horn. This is played together with oboes, bassoons, trumpets, and strings in XI Alla Hornpipe of Handel's Water Music. This is one of the most famous movements of that piece. You can listen to it here.

I also love listening to the human voice sing (especially soprano). It is much more pleasant than listening to a cat on heat (except to a tom of course)!

I am so glad my human has the same taste in music as I do... although sometimes he forces me to listen to all sorts of strange rock music.

........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........

Once again, I helped my human to do just about nothing today. I practically stopped him doing anything by insisting I sit on his lap all the time. I followed him around everywhere! I eventually fell asleep and he went outside to do some autumn pruning. Who rules the house? I do!
