Just reading the book "Beethoven" by John Suchet
Mentions there was little evidence of meetings between Beethoven and Mozart.
Could there have been clashes between the two, rivalry or simply that they didn't like each other?
Therefore neither would want to talk about meeting?

I love this one🎻🎻🎶🎶
A moment that clearly struck a chord this year 🎻
This performance of Saint-Saëns’ Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso in A minor with Joshua Bell CBE was one of the most-loved pieces shared on our channels in 2025.
We’re revisiting the music that stayed with you as we count down to the new year ✨

Dvořák conjures theme after theme of ravishing beauty in the finale of his beloved Cello Concerto in B minor, here performed with an expressive panache characteristic of Steven Isserlis, alongside the Berliner Philharmoniker and Alan Gilbert 🎻

Wonder how Kirkgate Market would look if it didn't have the fire in 1975? Would it still have had the entertainment space with the eating area?

A wonderful tour around the Leeds Central Library as part of the @leedscivictrust.bsky.social Heritage Open Days. Lovely to see some of the areas that the public are not normally allowed access to and to also learn so much history about this beautiful building

Just reading about Queen Mary I. I'm assuming that she had a phantom pregnancy or could it have been something more sinister?
Also, did Prince Philip love her or was he using her to get his hands on England?

Because of her, I can vote in elections. Whichever day it is, happy birthday Emmeline🎂
Emmeline Pankhurst, born 14 or 15 July 1858 (her birth certificate says 15, but she claimed her mother said she was actually born on the 14th).
Made in Manchester: Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928), born in Moss Side, founded the suffragettes, yet ended as a Conservative. Historians argue about whether her militancy helped or hurt the women's suffrage movement. She certainly raised its profile. 1/8
