When I wuz 5 I unleashed da Kabalevsky blowns at ma preschool.

My parents even brought da footstool n sheeyat. It wuz a chill unleash n far bettah den any prax.

I also remembah doing random chill digi unleashes of Czerny n Moszkowzki etz on random 88z when we came to da US, esp in Brooklyn. I’d juz go up n randomly unleazh, n I had pretty much only ETZ in ma rep.

I distinctly remembah da MUZIC teachah doing sum group singalong in brooklyn, so I jus cum up n unleazh sum et on da DIGI fo da clazz.
Den I spent like 2 years learning mostly Bach fugues. Daim.

da X has only raped through Czerny and Hanon exercises - my brother and I used to challenge each other and compete in who was the fastest - but I remember I was scorched by my music teacher in high school for playing Fantaisie-Impromptu too fast. He was wrong… Still is.

Summary

That’s a funny story incidentally - he was a Polish ex-pianist who had somehow ended up in Sweden as a general music teacher, a job he clearly thought himself overqualified for. Known for scaring the kids with his Polish wolves he said he kept in the closet, he had a building of his own on the school yard with a grand piano no one but him was allowed to touch, and a side room filled with classical music scores for which he had no use in his teaching. I hadn’t thought about it, at the end of a class in 7th grade I just sat down at his beloved piano and played a Chopin Impromptu while waiting for a friend to finish a test in the adjoining room. After a few bars he came in with wide open eyes and looked as if his long lost son had returned home. Since that point on I was his best friend. I went there and practiced after classes every now and then (strategically almost exclusively Chopin), and I showed up at his classes, but I never took any more tests, didn’t have write to write the theory exams, and was spared the singing tests everyone else had to do for higher grades.

This is a most interesting subject because it brings me back to music that hasn’t been in my mind for 40+ years.
The first feeling of mighty ā€œunleashā€ was probably with some very simple pieces of Walter Carroll when I was 10. When I think about it, this earliest experience with ā€œstorm musicā€ may be the reason why I’ve always loved the genre, whether it’s Beethoven, Liszt or Sibelius.

Hehe. He never was my piano teacher in that sense, we just talked music after his classes and sometimes he would offer opinions on my playing. In Op.66 what I remember he said was that he thought the melody which appears in figurations after the first few opening phrases was about love, and that he wanted me to play it slowly, dearly and with feeling. He probably had a point - I was 13 or so at the time and more than likely just rushed through it trying to hit all the notes - but if you play it the way he sang it you either have to drop the tempo suddenly there, or begin the piece at a tempo which is essentially Lento or Moderato. Still today, I don’t agree with either. There is a time for calm and tenderness, but it comes in the mid section.

Ahahahah if u got thru dem wiz no miztakez den clearly
