- 149. Keeping us fresh since 1784: Haydn, Piano trio No.19 (00:06:36)
Meeting his boss's insatiable desire for new content 'forced' [his word] Joseph Haydn to write original, inventive music that sounds as fresh and full of life today as when it was written.

- 145. Representation and taxation: Copland, Fanfare for the Common Man (00:05:49)
A short podcast about the shortest of pieces, yet Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man still packs a punch and seems to point to big issues. 'No taxation without representation'?

What do you think? Let me know with a comment at cacophonyonline.com. I'd love to hear from you! If you’d like to support Cacophony there are easy, great, ways: – help with the costs of running it (and me) with a one-off contribution or with a regular payment at ko-fi.com – share this episode with someone you know – share the 100 second trailer – subscribe/ review and keep listening! The picture credit goes to William Norris - who's visited King's Lynn as a tourist more recently than me! Thanks for listening!
