Question for Kornacker: Does the makeup of program affect how the orchestra would interpret or perform the individual works? #spcolive

#spcolive answer from Rex Levang, "Dvorak's violin sonatina inspired by Minnehaha Falls!"

#spcolive question, "Strauss talks about le bourgeois gentilhomme - was it an actual person or a satire of hipsters of the day?"

#spcolive answer from Rex Levang, "The character is trying to act upper class... unsuccessfully. Lots of comedy in the original play!"

Strauss's mother was a Pschorr - a brewing family. @RexLevang shows us the label. #SPCOlive http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bis7JvPCEAAY_J_.jpg

ON NOW: Strauss’s ‘Le bourgeois gentilhomme’ as #spcolive continues.

TIL Richard Strauss was born in Munich and died in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. (first time I've tweeted that locale.) #spcolive

Listening to suite fr Le bourgeois gentilhomme I'm reminded these stories were sitcoms of their day. Farce! Schemes! Mixed msgs! #spcolive

The lightheartedness of Strauss's 'Le bourgeois gentilhomme' can be heard in the playfulness of the strings. #spcolive
