"I know other people's dreams are boring, but": a continuing series

[desperance]

I dreamed that a playwright of renown - Peter Shaffer or a close analogue - was writing a serial drama about Franz Liszt effectively in real time, every ten years producing a new play covering the next decade of the composer's life. To research this, he spent most of his time listening to the works he'd first heard, including a tuba solo.

I did not believe that Franz Liszt ever wrote a tuba solo, so I woke disappointed, for I had dreamed it and it was beautiful. But of course I checked, because hullo internet - and I see that he did write at least two tuba quartets, an Ave Maria and a Pater Noster. This rather delights me, actually.

EtA: and then of course there's this...

I am so glad to hear it.

But of course! You contain multitudes, after all.

Speaking as someone who has researched tuba concertos for character development purposes, yay for appropriate pieces to look up!

[desperance]

Hee. I dream entirely for your convenience. What else do you need to research?

[annathepiper]

Ha! I will let you know. :D
