Mind the Bach

It's been a week of things not working terribly well - from my internet connection to the Victoria Line and beyond - and I managed to miss the fact that my article about music in the London Underground ran in yesterday's Independent. Here it is. It is basically a fun way to suggest Schumann's Blumenstuck as suitable listening when, due to signal failure, you are bloomin' stuck.

You are perfectly correct, of course, in saying "chasse-neige" means snowplough but in the case of Liszt's title it is surely meant to mean "snowstorm"? A very Turneresque one too.

Yes indeed - but where our railway system is concerned, a snowplough would be a lot more useful!
