MAI mai Plays Adagio in G Minor

The first time I heard this piece, I think it was sometime in middle school, on a worn out classical music platter tape I don't remember where I found it, it said Albinoni - Adagio in G Minor. I loved writing letters to people in those days, all sorts of letters, and I would listen to this piece when I needed an emotional boost, which was utilitarian, I know, was I actually a heartless person? Hence the need for all this filler? I don't know. I know nothing about classical music, nor do I know anything about Albinoni, and it seems that this piece is his only better known work. I had no intention of exploring this; it mystified the life of a teenager at that time, and I cherished that mystery. “I don't know”. And let this tape serve as a reminder of that tape. Side A is a recording of a performance at the Rockbund Art Museum a few years ago, I can't remember the exact date because of a problem with the date setting on my tape recorder. The performance was recorded with a Brüel & Kjær preamplifier and filter, and two HP 3312a function generators. No editing. Side B was recorded at home on an Iphone not long ago, using vocals, field recordings, Brüel & Kjær preamps and filters. No editing. --MAI mai 3/1/2025
