	♥ 8:10pm Tome: sudo Great Show Bethany !<>!
	♥ 8:16pm Roberto: J'adore le clavecin!
	8:16pm upstate sean: You go, Bethany
	8:18pm P-90: We love Bach’s ricercars!
	8:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just a Quartet! What a Performance.
	8:44pm Bethany Ryker: One wouldn't be making a wrong assumption to think that each time I hear something like this Quartet I imagine going back in time (for better or for worse) to 1861
	8:44pm Listener Robert: At a listener meet-up, Irwin quoted some critic of someone's jazz as being really horrible -- a lengthy essay on how horrible that critic thought it was -- and it amazes me that anyone could think of any serious piece of music as THAT revolting. Same as I couldn't fathom my friend's reaction to a showing we'd been to of the Rocky Horror movie. A performance can be a turn-off to me, but it can't leave such an indelible mark of unpleasantness on me. Maybe that means I'm not serious enough.
	8:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good Art doesn't always go with your sofa. So people get that & some just don't. Some people associate Sweetness w/ good aesthetics - & anything that expresses pain or disturbance is Bad Art to them... ...Rocky Horror goes on a bit long w/ men in fishnets for my tastes - altho' I love a lot of it...
	♥ 8:57pm edelkakao cha cha: I am my mother's son when it comes to Brahms. The silver lining of her alzheimer cloud was that she could enjoy music almost until the end.
	8:57pm AZ Dave: Incredible interpretation!
	♥ 8:58pm listener 126464: Thanks Bethany!
	♥ 8:59pm edelkakao cha cha: thanks bethany, especially for Brahms
	9:00pm P-90: Brava, Maestra! And many thanks.
	11:13pm gregg bendian: Your show reminds me of freeform from back in the day... except you are so free that you also include atonality and classical abstraction. As it should be! Excellent work. New and big fan.
	10:39am mike mcneill: What was the background music between Schoenberg and Brahms??? Anyone?
