| 1957 record changer: Minuet by Boccherini & El Condor Pasa |
 |
Here is my 1957 Dual 1004 D record player again.
This time you see its automatic changer mode. That
historic apparatus can do the same performance
with up to 15 records at one haul. Both are rather
famous instrumental tunes - here played in German.
The first being a minuet by Luigi Boccherini,
supposedly composed in 1771 and here performed by
German conductor Ferry Taby and his concert
soloists. I consider this record as being pressed
in the mid fifties, but I don´t know for sure.
The second tune is the renowned folk song El
Condor Pasa, which was written in 1913 by Peruvian
composer Julio de La Paz, here performed by the
"Sortilège de la flute des Andes avec Facio
Santillan" (You haven´t never ever heard of them
before? I haven´t either!). The record was
released in 1970 - as well as the better known
version sung by Simon & Garfunkel. In case you
don´t like the music and prefer real thrilling
action: The changing performance starts at 3:42
(Sorry, I didn´t have any Justin Timberlake
records being released once upon a time in earlier
decades... And if I had them, I´d never play them
likewise - to show all my due respect for that 50
year old machine doing its work here). Regarding
the scary sound you hear when the music don´t
play: I guess I have to grease the mechanics
soon... Please note: The record player was never
refurbished in any way and is shown in original
condition! So who wouldn´t forgive this minor
malfunction? ;)
P.S.: There´s more to come one day. Still working
on my 1961 Rex Perpetuum-Ebner record changer and
my Parlophon gramophone (undated, but estimated
pre 1920).

| Amateur playing Minuet in G |
 |
When I was a little girl, roughly at the age of 9
years old, I went to school in the States. Back
then, I took violin lessons for a while. My violin
teacher, Laura had one day played this piece on
the violin and ever since I have had this dream of
one day being able to play it.
18 years later and after only 3 months of learning
how to play the piano, I can finally play it by
heart!
PS: There are some mistakes here and there but
I'll try to improve.

| The Muppet Show: The Electric Mayhem - "Minuet In G Major" |
 |
The Muppet Show, Season Two, Episode 37 (with
Rudolf Nureyev).
The band actually starts off playing a classy
rendition despite their unconventional
instruments, attire, and audible grumbling.
DR. TEETH: Hey what's this bummer called again?
FLOYD: Minuet in G Major.
DR. TEETH: I'd like to send it back to the minors.
Animal is unable to confine himself to the more
legato tempo and bursts into a rock beat as the
rest of the band follow.
At the balcony:
STATLER: You know the older I get the more I
appreciate good music.
WALDORF: Yeah? What's that got to do with what we
just heard?
STATLER: Nothing. Just thought I'd mention it.
