Rezpek!
I request a cold unleash of da 10-2
Btw TM what recording device (video test recs) are you using? I want to purchase one zis year, but it should be very simple to use/upload and if pozzible without too much distortions in sound.
I think the mechanics are definitely part of it! I think it still sounds pianistic (unlike most of Tchaikovskyās piano works).
The first mov especially is dam awkward and famous for it. Part of his genius I guess is unique figurations; whether they fit 100% around the fingers is secondary. Like Beethovenās famous fiddle quote.
I find it amazing that if you break down the technical side of things, how 99% of the piano writing is built around a few basic figurations. Then you come acorss something like the 2nds in Scarbo or the RH figuration in the bene-dick-tion and you fell like you have to completely re-learn technique.

Do you think Regerāz Bach varz would work well in da zame programme az Godowzkyāz pazzacaglia or wud dat be baroque-romantic hyper contrapuntal overload?
tiz an inzanely complex piece, a huge compliment to da work dat Schiff performed it, conziderin he iz a bit ov a Bach purizt

Currently struggling real hard with Lisztās 1838 Paganini 4b etude. Iād say itās the hardest single-movement work I ever took up.
Though all in all Iād say the Schumann Concerto as a whole. Itās also the hardest I ever performed.
Other close contenders include the Scriabin b minor fantasy and Mozart Concerto No. 15.

I would definitely be down for hearing such a cool program. The Passacaglia is also brutally difficult, but a masterpiece, imo.

Both in B minor too Very zatizfying key.
I find dat a low B minor chord iz da lowezt mozt brutally epic chord on a piano wizout it zoundin muddy.
Palmgren prelude 12 wikidly endz wiz hollow low 5thz in A
I find it intereztin how diz zoundz bell lyk but a bit muddy whereaz B minah iz much mo full + rich zoundin
Fo example if Zcriabināz Fant wuz tranzcriabed 2 zemitonez flatā¦it wud juz zound muddy n wrong.

Yeah, there are some truly mindblowing sonorities throughout this epic work. Still kicking myself for not having learned it back when I had the chops and the chair time.
