It wasn’t listed on the main Rudolfinum website but there’s actually a small piano festival about to start in Prague this Sunday – Rana, Hamelin, Jan Bartos and Kissin. Kissin is sold out and I don’t want to hear Hamelin play D.960, but I might go to Rana on Sunday. Tickets are cheap and I really like her. She’ll play:

  • Fryderyk Chopin: Études Op. 25
  • Isaac Albéniz: Iberia, Book 3
  • Igor Stravinsky: Three Movements from Petrushka

For Ivo I sat row 5 centre, but if I go I’ll sit at the back this time, probably balcony. It’s a beautiful hall, surprisingly small.

Man go!

Yeah I should, and there’s less chance I’ll miss the bus home this time as it’ll start 30 minutes earlier. Man missing the bus last time fucked my health, I wandered around Prague all night and am still recovering 8 weeks later.

  • Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor Op. 31/2 “The Tempest”

surprisingly more tickets sold for Rana than Hamelin so far. I’d like to hear his first half but not the Schubert.

:confused: No clothes?

In the meantime I saw my Volodos buddy yesterday and he was in the middle of a cold. He still says he’ll go tomorrow, but he won’t be able to sit in a concert hall like that. So I’m a bit pissed. But I haven’t given up on this yet.

That says a thing or two about the audience. It could simply be the program, but she is the better pianist.

Tru dat Russia vid is worth it for the Feinberg 3 son. I honestly believe sonatas 2-6 should be part of the «almost» standard repertoire
