I second David's praise. I have always appreciated your competence on piano literature and your dedication as an administrator.
There's a lot of white noise of course on other classical piano forums, but on Pianoworld for instance they have monthly themed e-recitals with...
If you listen to the electric recordings of SS and compare them to the available reproductions of his piano rolls, you'd think that's a different...
Sure I can, but I won't do it. I'm not selling anything here. You see, Eddy, you brutalized this thread and you cannot even understand the very...
Only if you are a metronome. In those passages LH actually is a tempo as humanly (and still musically) possible. RH shapes delicately the melody...
You didn't bother to listen to the Saint-Saens example I posted a few pages back with the indication of the spots with the kind of contrametric...
Speaking of reflexives...
I know, it hurts a bit.
OK, as they say a recording is worth a thousand words. Let's see if we agree at least on the presence of that kind of rubato.
I'll be blunt with you Eddie. How can take you seriously if you keep spelling my name wrong?
You don't get my point. Composer and performer live in the same acoustic world (and in Chopin they were one person). How can be that the...
In fact it doesn't relate per se to the discussion but to the following your statement "Yet whenever he applies it to the right hand, the left...
You know the finger and the moon thing... Rubato is performance related, of course, but the premise of rubato (out of sync RH to LH, to put it...
Problem is that any performance starts from the score. Don't you have out of syncs at any suspension, anticipated bass, off-beat syncopation and...
These clearly are not the best examples you could find (I understand they are probably the only ones available to you, though). There are slower...
Yes, of course editions don't help discovering Chopin's rubato, how could they, but you keep evading my point that is about your method of doing...
:?: :?: :?: Out of sync in music is more the rule than the exception. I mean just the writing, the composition, not the performance of it....
I was referring to the obligation to get informed first and the right later to make our own decisions. Too often people don't bother to get...
I would, but again I don't want to make promises I can't keep. You and Andreas will certainly do a fine job on these pieces. I like your No.13.
Ha, that's always been my point. You're echoing some observations I've made myself in the past! Nevertheless, I believe that Saint-Saens's playing...
