True, until 16 November 2018 I will not listen to ANY classical piano music, but instead focus on orchestral and non-piano chamber music.
Since this is a negative defnition, and for the sake of clarity: I can listen to orchestral music which includes a piano, if this is just random. For instance I can listen to a Prok symphony that includes a piano in certain areas, but I cannot listen to Messiaen Turangalila or da Szymanowski Sinfonia Concertante.
It’s probably the only way I would succeed in my own orchestral rep familiarisation project. Let’s see how you get on, and depending on results I might eventually try the same thing. Good luck!
Respectable. This is a great way to broaden your repertoire.
Keep your eye on the symphony thread. I’ll be posting 50+ recs in there. Maybe I’ll start another thread for random stuff like Violin Concertos, string quartets, etc.
Ok listened to a Mozat violin concerto yesterday (no. 5). Today I listened to a Bartok string quartet (no. 4). Very diverse works. This week I will focus on the classical period. Any suggestions? I think I will listen to Beethoven’s violin concerto when I go home from work tonight.
This is prøving very hard! Not because I don’t like other music, but because I really want to listen to some piano as well. Anyways I will see Sokolov tomorrow anyway!
Listened to Beethoven 7th symphony and Bartok 4th String quartet yesterday. The string quartet is really cool
