A Young Pianist Learns Liszt From Listening (Benjamin Grosvenor article)

Who needs the score. Who needs to spend time thinking about the work. I’ll just listen to golden age mofos and get my ideas from there.

Not the worst approach I’ve ever heard.

Yes, this is music that’s probably not supposed to be played cleanly. Part of the struggle is, it is technically difficult, but that’s what makes it exciting. Someone said of Horowitz that his playing is not exciting because he plays fast, but because he plays faster than he can. In this music there’s an element of that.

I dun disagree.

The piece is a Faustian struggle between the diabolical and the divine; the question is how to make it cohere over more than 30 minutes.

Simple. Clock it in around 25-27 mins
