The smug among us classical music lovers say that Rossini didn’t write 32 operas, he wrote the same opera 32 times. And yet I’ll listen to all of them ....

Reading about his hiding out in tunnels under Rome had me wondering if he ever got some musicians together to perform. I highly doubt it but it’d make a cool scene in a movie.

Joshua Bell famously played at the Dupont Circle Metro station in DC - just another musician with a hat out. If I saw him (mid-90s) I do not remember. He is an astonishingly good violinist, yet we will pass him by if he’s not presented as such. Shame on me.
