Listening to Alessandro Scarlatti's little gems of #cello #sonatas I am once again minded of Picasso's comment after visiting the cave paintings at Altamira, "... we have invented nothing."
I do love many forms of later and contemporary music but... can't help just be in 'wonder' at the timeless beauty of the #baroque masterpieces.
Maybe Picasso's comment is apocryphal but it rings true with me... and yet I am a big fan of the 'weird' chord/melody/rhythm etc!
"Go figure" as they say 😁
