By Robert Farley
April's Winner
We had one winner who correctly guessed Johann Sebastian Bach's Cappriccio "The Journey" ("On the Departure to Distant Climes of his Dearly Beloved Brother") 3rd. movement-"Sorrow and Regret." To be precise, Erika Teraoka gave the title "Cappricio on the Departure of a Most Beloved Brother," but I think the vagaries of translations allow that this is close enough and Miss Teraoka knew what the piece was. Congratulations, Erika, and thank you for participating in "What's That Tune."
This month's tune was suggested by Donna Mitchell, downloaded from Classical MIDI Archives, and is owned by Dan Veins, who graciously gave his permission for us to rename it and for Bill the PinWiz to provide additional editing to the file. Let the game begin.
