The keen-eyed amongst you may have noticed that Perfect Pitch now has a transcript beneath every episode. I've been able to apply this retrospectively, which means that every single one has a text attached to it. I had intended, indeed I did start, to edit them to correct the spelling them. But I soon realized this was going to be a monumental task and that I would actually never get it done. So I'm going to leave those as they are at a temperature from now on to provide an accurate aid of each one. Here in the UK, we are approaching the end of the hottest and drier summers, and it's going to be 1970. As I prepared today's episode, we've just enjoyed our first really heavy downpour, after which we're left with that unmistakable smell in the air, which you only get after heavy rain on dry soil. In 1964, two Australian researchers, Isabel Bear and Dick Thomas gave the smell of his own word. And Igor, the light fluid which runs through the veins of the gods and green mythology. I went outside only moments ago, and his presence was recognizable straight away. I hope you'll forgive me for observing that it's a good job of getting Tom Dick's appearance. I didn't give him the middle name of Harry. Because otherwise the credit for the research would have gone to Isabel Bear and the son of Tom Dick and Harry, who nobody has ever heard of. All of which leads us to admit to the music of Diddy. And it's adding to the season of autumn upon us before long. A work which he wrote to reminisce on the Orchard country side over the four seasons. We've listened to some of his music before, and I think I can only repeat more or less what I said then. Which is that defining the style of D-Do, trying to pigeonhole it as a successor to turn to or precursor to a future composer is a future. Unique rather like literally. It's one of those words which is banded about far too often and very rarely meaningful. Literally unique. But the very least we can say about the music of D-Litter is that it has a language which is intimately its own and belongs to none other. When you hear the music of D litter, you know immediately that it is. Which will enable you to identify the composer of a piece of if you haven't heard it before. But you might still waver between a few options before arriving at your conclusion. When it comes to delivery, there is no other option. And the immediately evocative sound of the country side occasionally appears by birds and woodwind. It is not an obvious idea. That's not really the point here. If you've seen the film, you'll remember how he overheard at the beginning of the Adagio Motor. Known as the grand part. You may not have heard that already at the moment. I think we must assume that family support and individual social standing played a big part in that. And Fanny's father Abraham was certainly not very happy about it, even less so about her publishing her own works, a few of which we now know are even attributed to her brother. I love the way the left hand sings every bit as much as the right. He too suffered a similar fate only a couple of months later, the age of 38. His works continue to be championed to this day. Maybe with the death of her father and a longer life like that of Clara Schumann, history would have judged her in a much more positive light. Only a long overdue research into the works of female composers, and these and so many others have finally found better recognition. Dimitri Ablogin is at the keyboard in this totally charming place. And then we can get it right. Because it is demanding on the terms of load and wide range of what I mean that I'm not going to be able to definition there, which I guess we don't have. Thank you so much again for whatever mean interrupt your day.
