Yo Fav Miniaturist

Tru, I waz debating if any Znoreabji could be classed as miniatures? Pozz anything cumpared to da Opuz Clavicumbucket.

Side note, has anyone actually sat all the way through it? Is it worth it?

I normally get to about 5 or 10 mins with any longah ZNOREABJI then give up, as to me it just sounds like a disordered, incoherent quasi-improv.

I think theyā€™re a bit long tbh. Iā€™m ok with the Esquisses being an example of the genre though.

Hahah daim diz fine lynā€¦

I wud zay dere iz a difference between a zhort work and a miniature

Miniature to me meanz very zhort but datz ma perzonal interpretation ov da word

I think form wize - dere haz to be almozt no development

Zonataz inherently involve zum form ov development, pozzibly

^^^ gud point

Yeah, I think intent is a component of the difference.

Chop prelude 10 in c zharp minah iz fo zhor a miniature, az iz da no.7 in A maj

Iz dere any u cud argue arenā€™t miniaturez?

Cumdrop iz debatable

No, though I see these as part of a set

miniatures = standalone, short in length, concise in content

With da chopprelz sum are, sum arenā€™t. Eg 4, 6, 7, 20.

Haha if datz da caze den da ZHOE iz a zheeyat miniaturiztā€¦all hiz are partz ov zetz u mofo!

Hahaha da Zepp hack da X account :sunglasses:

I donā€™t zee many cuntpozers writing piecez dat are not part of a SETā€¦

There are big setz like da CHOP preludez or MENDY zongz without wordz, and there are zmaller onez like da SHOE kiddyscenez or ROCKY momentz

ā€¦but they are setz all da zame.

Dat wuz ma point, dat da X point ov da Choprelz not bein miniaturez becuz dey iz part ov a zet

But I c wut he meanā€¦dat dey iz meant to be played togetha az a zet

And u very rarely hear zelectionz ov piecez from Zhoez big zetz

But each Mendy zong or Grieg lyric piece can be azzembled on a prog much mo randomly wiz no requizite zequenz

Yeah but Iā€™d argue that thereā€™s an order and a succession to the Chop Preludes, which you donā€™t have with Schumannā€™s Op.12 for instance. IIRC some from Op.28 are even marked attacca at the end.

Actually thatā€™s a bad example, Op.12 arenā€™t entirely separated either (I would also argue)

But take a random Greg or Mendy book of pizzahs w/o lyrics then. Thereā€™s nothing linking the individual pieces, theyā€™re just published together for convenience
