Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I seem to only be able to ride in the hot weather. When the nice weather comes, there is so much to do, that can't be done in the heat. I will go out tomorrow though, barring rain. It's been raining almost every day. For at least part of the day.

The Mrs. just told me that Merida is throwing caution to the wind and re-opening tomorrow. Everything. Bars. Restaurants. The works. I wonder how long that will last. The northern part of the country is getting hit hard at the moment.

So, at his memorial service last year, that's what we opened with. The 6 of us kids all smiled, even chuckled a little. But we had to explain it to those who hadn't had the privilege.

Corno da tirarsi. Apparently, Bach knew a guy in Leipzig that played one and wrote some music for it.

Kudos. Helped me find this musical fun fact:
Other instrumentalists to watch in this video: Olivier Picon on corno da tirarsi, and Balázs Máté on violoncello piccolo. Only three cantatas (46, 162, and 67) show the full name corno da tirarsi written in the manuscript, but there are 27 cantatas from Leipzig requiring a corno in which that part is not playable on a natural horn, so must have been written for this corno da tirarsi as well. Cantata 115 is included in that group. Bach is the only composer who ever mentioned this instrument in writing, and most probably his principal brass player Gottfried Reiche was the only one who ever played it. After Reiche’s death in 1734 Bach did not write for this instrument anymore, and for repeat performances of any cantatas containing a corno da tirarsi part, Bach rewrote it for other instruments. Read more about this in Olivier Picon’s article on the “corno da tirarsi” from 2010.The 27 cantatas are mentioned on page 22 of the article.

That's some real attention to detail that they have someone playing that instrument. I wonder how many even exist?

Being a Jew, I find many of Bach’s texts pretty foreign, but I am often so moved by the music that I feel almost ready to believe.
Music is very powerful. A gift from above. Thank you for sharing that.

You sound like a classical music connoisseur. I can't remember one cantata from the rest.

My kin from Switzerland came in 1735. That's quite far removed. Like them, I am a Protestant, though. However, I don't know German, so the lyrics are Greek to me.
