YAY! ANOTHER ENTIRELY RETUHDED THREAD ABOUT PENIZ COMPARISONZZZ…
ANYWAYS, TECHNIQUE ONLY!!!
which is, in yo bad self’s opinion, teh one with teh greater CONTROL and MASTERY ovah da piano???
Most of da great penizes considered da hofman teh greatest of them all, even da ho, but da godowsky had SICK tech, sick enough to amaze da hoffmann…and da doc…I dont think there is anything to be said about him…
which one, in yo opinion, is da greatedt TECHNICIAN?
its just one of those things I wonder…in The Great Pianists, schoenberg calls hoffmann perfection plus, and other books I read say he was the best, then schoenberg says god was the best, than other books say god was the best…its so contradictiory…is da doc better than both???
da doc haz da wikid mechanical sheeyat but I haven’t heard any pianist with da level of control of Hofmann. His manipulation of sound is ridiculous, such impeccable volume and tonal shading, and fucking wikid pedalling, not to mention the best finger tech. I wuz listening to hiz scarlatti sonata L 413 then I followed it with Lipatti, Friedman and Michelangeli. Friedman was the closest but it was pretty much night and day. Da God iz probably not fair to compare since hiz recordingz iz mostly sheeyat (with a few hexceptionz) he muzt have been mofo tru. deze comparizonz are pretty pointless. It depends on what ascpet of tech you value more.
