Irritated beyond measure that my twitter has updated and become X. Going to uninstall now ....

@CharlesEsdaile @LandofRob There's an acute analysis of Russian cynicism and rhetoricism in Conrad's Under Western Eyes (1911). Still sharp!

[Q Quartets @QuartetsQ]

@LandofRob @CharlesEsdaile No, not lashing out, not revenge ... instead, self-image as Russia, supported by rhetoric and a fan-dance of subsidiary goals. But 'belief' is just a rhetorical colour, nothing more. (Imo)

@frederickmpj @aquilanebula @deeplyclassical The TV series is *really* good!

[Q Quartets @QuartetsQ]

@houghhough @Tate magic!

[Q Quartets @QuartetsQ]

@CharlesEsdaile @LandofRob Imo, he's like a character in Senecan drama ... he has goals and he has rhetorics aimed at fulfilling them. Belief does not enter the picture.

@benjcartlidge Think it features strongly in Aki Kaurismaki's Ariel.

[Q Quartets @QuartetsQ]

@benjcartlidge As I remember it, not having listened for some time of course! - it is brilliant. Great bassoon solo. Isn't there also a clever stretto in the finale?

@tonyprinciotti (You have also to take into account the philosophico-political views implicit in - say - the Ring. Not exactly the same as 'his' views.)

[Q Quartets @QuartetsQ]

@Oberon48 @tonyprinciotti An element of defiance too ... 'He belongs to the world; he's not your property, you Nazis.'

[Q Quartets @QuartetsQ]

@CARNZEE @tonyprinciotti It can be a political act, not necessarily the same as bad.

[Q Quartets @QuartetsQ]

@tonyprinciotti People will say keep politics out of nusic, but that's a cop out. Your issue is real, though different people will have different ways of coming to terms with it. I am boycotting Russian music because of the use to which Putin's Russia is putting it.

Indeed.

@jonathanbfine Parmenides , Spinoza, Kierkegaard

@jonathanbfine in the first list I think you forgot Hegel

@hutchingsmusic @kursedtea @Rotary No, look at the strings and how they angle over the fingerboard. There never was a bridge on this cello. Just conceivably there was once a derelict cello which had lost its bridge and someone put strings on and used it as a prop.

@Lindsey_Art @VisualArtsScot @RoyalScotAcad Particularly like this one!!!!!

[Kirsty Matheson @kursedtea]

Perhaps the Scottish @rotary young musician competition should take a closer look at their poster.
