Jazz inspired classical music
Jazz requires improvisation. Sure, Gershwin wrote a lot of jazz pieces, but the ones we listed are not improvised, but fully written out - so classical, only using jazz rhythms and harmonies. Of course, if we do not call classical only the pieces from the classical era, when Haydn and Mozart... -

What about Hindemith's Ragtime (wohltemperiert)? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5gry-w-47c Also Milhaud's La creation du monde: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3GPtgY9hSQ Milhaud was, curiously, the teacher of famous jazz pianist Dave Brubeck. Best regards, Dr -
Jazz inspired classical music
All great examples! I'll list another few: Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major: http://youtu.be/bq1ueeJucA8 Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctc1esCl-lw Ravel's Violin Sonata no. 2 - II: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJBsb5bm0W0&feature=relmfu There... -

Spooky music for Halloween!
Here are a few: Maurice Ravel - Gaspard de la nuit - II Le gibet (means: The gallows): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhpX-CyTvfw You can also try III Scarbo from the same suite. Vaughan Williams' 6th Symphony, especially the last movement... -
Music recommendations
Try George Gershwin's music. :rolleyes: He wrote a lot of popular jazz music, but his "classical" pieces sound more like what you mention: Rhapsody in Blue, American in Paris, but also some less known gems like the Second Rhapsody, Cathfish Row suite, Variations on 'I got rhythm', Cuban Overture... -
The Classical Music Thread
There should be more discussion about classical music on the Lounge. ;) Here is the first movement of the great Sinfonia Antartica by Ralph Vaughan Williams - one of his pieces that do not sound British-rustical. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcHDtutZ4UQ&feature=relmfu Best regards, Dr -

Black dinner jacket / white trou?
I believe that there is an analogy between warm weather dinner dress jacket and trousers - there are self faced lapels on a white jacket, so I think that there should be no stripes on white trousers. Best regards, Dr- Dr Kilroy

Inverness Cape
I hope this is not a crime to revive the thread. :) What exactly is the difference between an Inverness coat and Inverness cape? The article on Wikipedia on this subject is very unclear and I have found nothing in more authoritative places. ;) Best regards, Dr- Dr Kilroy

Formal Wear Primer
The colour of neckwear can be incorrect in the caricature. :) Actually, I believe that the only real Full Dress is white tie and morning dress is its daytime equivalent. My point was that the colour scheme and the context suggests that it is an evening attire, while the morning coat is used... -
Formal Wear Primer
It is also possible, but I believe it is a form of evening dress. First, the man in the picture is Landon Ronald, an English counductor, so he was more likely to pictured wearing evening dress. Second, the picture is from 1913, when, I think, black trousers and neckwear were not worn outside of... -
