On Air Now
Classic FM Drive with John Brunning 5pm - 7pm
What if… classical music shower thoughts
Imagine if Mozart had never toured Europe, or Rachmaninov had decided he fancied trying the violin instead. Here’s what life could be like in an alternative universe:
-
1. Gesualdo took the long way home that day and his wife survived
Imagine…
-
2. If Debussy and Ravel had been a contemporary of Picasso…
Hmm…
-
3. If Leopold Mozart had been a better composer would we even have heard of Mozart?
Good question.
-
4. If Brahms and Schumann had never met
Well…
-
5. If Mozart had never become a freemason
Imagine.
-
6. The number 13
That would have changed things
-
7. Jonesaphone
What if Adolphe Sax had been called Adolphe Jones? See also: Léon Theremin
-
8. Johann Sebastian who?
Hmm…
-
9. Anyone got a match?
Well there's a thought
