Mac'nClassicalCheese - May 31, 2023
We're kicking off the show with a selection of second movements! It's not a hard and fast rule, but second movements are usually a bit slower – a time to breathe in a piece – and because of this, they usually showcase beautiful melodies. Some of my favorite melodies are from second movements so it seemed like a nice and easy way to get us into the groove of classical music.
