My latest radio magazine mentions the fact that it will be 200 years since the death of the splendidly-named Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf on 24 October. If you don't know his music, there's quite a lot of it out there. I'd suggest trying the Six Symphonies after Ovid. If you do know his music, a little of it complemented by a glass of your stimulant of choice are called for on the 24th! Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
