ATTENTION ROMANTICS, JANEITES, BYRONISTS, GEORGIANS, & OTHER 19TH CENTURY NERDS!

this website jane austen's music has resources all about the music jane austen composed by hand, like a link to this song captivity.

this website romantic-era songs has recordings of a bunch of music that was popular in the romantic era, including recordings of poetic works that were originally intended to be set to music. examples incl. lord byron's famous poems vision of belshazzar (a real banger!) & she walks in beauty (not what i expected having read it beforehand without it's music, but it was byron's own favorite to listen to). i really love this one the waters of elle by lady caroline lamb, also composed by isaac nathan. he was a famous jewish-english musician who later relocated to australia and introduced classical music there, & is thus sometimes called "the father of australian music" (apparently, according to his wiki, he was also the first person in the southern hemisphere to die in a tram incident after he got there... oddly specific factoid, but alright).

Hi! Random question: I read somewhere that it’s part of canon that the reason Crowley slept through the fourteenth century (?) was because he and aziraphale “broke up” prior to that, do you know a source for that or is it part of fanon?

Much love :)

Hiya! :) I'm afraid there's a bit of a mistunderstanding. Crowley didn't slept through the fourteenth century, he slept through the nineteenth: Evil in general does not sleep, and therefore doesn't see why anyone else should. But Crowley liked sleep, it was one of the pleasures of the world. Especially after a heavy meal. He'd slept right through most of the nineteenth century, for example. Not because he needed to, simply because he enjoyed it. *Although he did have to get up in 1832 to go to the lavatory.

(Crowley hated the fourteenth century :D: The reason he was late was that he was enjoying the twentieth century immensely. It was much better than the seventeenth, and a lot better than the fourteenth. One of the nice things about Time, Crowley always said, was that it was steadily taking him further away from the fourteenth century, the most bloody boring hundred years on God's, excuse his French, Earth.)

None of that had anything to do with Aziraphale :). (fanon)

The Evergreen Game: Anderssen vs. Dufresne, 1852

Fancied revisiting a classic so here's one of the most famous winning combinations of all time. It's unbelievable to me that Anderssen (White) spotted the forced checkmate from this position where personally I'd have probably been panicking about my own king.

Explanation below cut.

It begins with the rooooook! Forcing Black to deal with the check. Black responds logically by capturing with the knight.

White seems like they've just wasted material and there's still that Black queen/rook combo threatening mate in g1...

But wait there's only a flipping Queen sacrifice!!!

Have you seen it yet? Black takes the queen with their king....

But then there's the bishop with another check!

It's a double check (thanks to the rook on d1) so no blocking it and the king is forced back to e8 which means...

Now the bishop can sit tidy on d7 protected by that rook and the king has to keep running and the other bishop can come in to deliver the coup de grâce.

The game leading up to it is spectacular too so worth a Google if you love some crazy tactics from the Romantic era of chess. Check out Sam Copeland's video on it here.
