Bortkiewicz E minor Etude, Op. 15 (Presto furioso, heh)

Thracozaag:

What da hell does dat have to do with anything? Ginastera I heard too much played by high school students growing up, but he’s a good composer. I enjoy bartok’s other music (especially da string quartets) far more dan da piano compositions. Since you oviously love him so much, why don’t YOU play him?

You say dat you will not play Bartok, Prokofiev n Shostakovic becuase dey are overplayed. But you play Chopin who iz probably da most overplayed piano-composer who have ever lived. Even Glenn Gould played da third sonata. n also da 2. Brahms concerto iz a overplayed work. dis doesnt exactly make sence, when you say dat you dont want to play da overplayed composers… Anyway you are off course allowed to play what ever you want to play.
How do you know if I never play Bartók. Well I have never played any Bartok. da reason for dat iz because he iz a new composer to mah-bad-self. n also becuase I am a crappy pianist n I havent had time to play Bartok becuase I have played a lot of other music. I am glad you lyk Ginastera. Some of of da composers I lyk such as Chopin I never play. So I can understand why you dont play dose composer I listed up.

-da Mephisto

I haven’t played the Chopin or Brahms in over 5 years, just so you know. But I would re-visit them at some point because there are masterpieces, imo (I do have other criteria for playing music, other than their perceiver popularity). I would NEVER get tired of hearing either the Chopin 3rd sonata or Brahms 2nd concerto (which is actually not played that often becuase it’s so damn hard). Prok. and Shosty just don’t interest me in the same way, quite frankly.
You should try out some Bartok, the Out of Doors suite is terrific, and the Ginastera sonatas are pretty cool too.

I am playing Ginastera 3 danzas argentinaz. I have already learned the two first ones but the third one is difficult for me. And I can only play it when few of my fammily members are home… Have you play the danzas?

Thracozaag · July 3, 2005, 1:17pm

Played 6 etudes and the ballade (maybe learn the 1st concerto at some point). Once I get a decent performance of the Ballade on record, I’ll post it; wasn’t happy with the way I played it at Bargemusic.

Yeah, it’s pretty loud, heh. I heard those pieces played ad nauseum growing up, but they’re very good. You should check out the sonatas.

Ashley_Tervort · February 16, 2019, 2:41pm

Used to? I still love him. He’s at his best when he isn’t being too derivative.

Publius · February 16, 2019, 2:42pm

Mephisto · February 16, 2019, 2:47pm

Ashley_Tervort · February 16, 2019, 2:49pm

Uzed to?

Brewtality · February 16, 2019, 2:49pm

Yeah, I don’t have time for him anymore. There’s too much music that I don’t know yet.
