legendary
Now might dere b a reazon az to why neitha nor neva paformed a zingle zong in deir gloriuz careerz? 
I would rather attend an all-Alkan recital - but really only for the rarity and opportunity of it. As much as I love Alkan I do think Schumann was the better composer. Or, at least, that he wrote more good music than Alkan did.
I guarantee dat if da KAN wuz mo well known n mo rezpecd dey wud chooze to play at leazt a few workz
fo example da HO wud be wikid in da FEZTIN n da RECTUM wud be wikid in da ‘En rythme molossique’
da ARRAUZAL even played da ZYMPH zo he muz haf rezpecd da piece
Alkan is very “special” though. He’s sharp, bizarre, ravenous, ironic, prone to extremes, and with little regard for etiquette and politeness. At this point I don’t think it’s that his music isn’t known or even respected, but that many - pianists and audiences alike - have difficulties coming to terms with him.
I agree dat da ZHOE wrote mo good muzik
but da queztion iz about hafin enough ‘great’ muzik to fill a programme
and both do
take da bezt 90 minz ov da KAN vz da bezt 90 minz ov da ZHOE and I think dere iznt much quality difference
da ZHOE iz a mo ‘poetic’ compoza but da KAN iz very moving in hiz own way, da climaxez in Alkan are often zo ferociouz and cathartic dat dey feel lyk an exorcizm 
Yes, depends on pianist of course, but with all things equal definitely Alkan. If they had been similarly popular and performed however, I’m not so sure anymore. Probably Schumann.
Da KAN haff mo cg
But da ZHOE
iz alzo a pretty gud punchlyn
:red light district:
My Zhoe rectal
1zt half
Carnaval Op. 9 - 30 minz
Sonata No.1 in F-sharp minor, Op.11 - 30 minz
2nd half
Symphonic Etudes, Op.13 - 25 minz
Fantasie in C, Op.17 - 30 minz
pretty ztandard n obviouz but diz wud be a wikid rectal
Ahahaha da definin difference iz
Da ZHOE wrote m*zik
But da KAN wrote
88 zongz
Hahahaha tru pozzibly da vote zhud be bazed on wud u ratha hear
da KAN playin a rectal ov hiz own workz or
da ZHOE playin a rectal ov hiz own workz
An interesting observation is that despite da Doc’s work om behalf of da KAN, as far as da Meph can see no big name pianist after him has ever played da KAN’s music. Is that tru? Da Favorin is a good pianist, but not really that well known.
Cuz dey iz a bunch ov puzziez
No I really think it is as per above. I don’t think Alkan will ever be a mainstream name. There was Busoni, then there was Petri, then Lewenthal, then almost Cziffra, then Hamelin and in due time there will be someone else - but this is how it will continue.
It’s not that he’s unknown or that people are puzziez, it’s simply his personality.
Dependz on da work
da zymphony for zolo piano iz hiz moz flawlezz and iron clad concert piece
U cud argue da grand zon haz flawz, da conc iz ovahblown etc.
But da zymph fo zolo 88 iz a work I’d call pretty univerzal
