Mozart's homage to Erdoğan

As an homage to Taqiyya .... err ... Tayyip Erdoğan, the greatest hero Turkey would ever get, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ("I write as a sow pisses") about 226 years ago composed the Turkish March.

Voilà, Omnium proudly presents a jazzy version with the fantastic Fazil Say.

  3. I'll have to point the old scientist in this direction. I'm sure he'll be shocked but maybe not. What a different interpretation. He certainly had fun with it.

    Did you ever try to paint such fast? :)

    jmb,
    I am sure, even if he were a purist the old scientist will appreciate Fazil Say's virtuosity.

  5. Well it was something I recognized immediately but did not settle into enjoying as it seemed a bit off and I kept waiting to see where it would go. I did enjoy very much his enjoyment of playing it. I need to hear it without visuals to really know. I should put it on and go to another window.
