This is a great work at fourteen years of age that like all we do in the present has no idea what the future will be.

True....I believe Mendelssohn was Wagner's nemesis.....His 'Walküerenrit' merely inverted the 'Fingal's Cave' main melody....like Rakhmaninov did with Paganini in Variazone 18. Cheers from Acapulco!!

@wagnersnightmare4062 11 ай бұрын

Huh, never thought of it that way! That theme has so many connections to Erda, Wotan, Donner', and Siegfried's music, but you're right, it is eerily similar to a Fingal's Cave inversion.

This is wonderful! So glad I did the search. I lov.e the viola sound and wondered why they're seldom featured. I think the viola jokes are in poor taste generally.

@wagnersnightmare4062 11 ай бұрын

The violist here - I love viola jokes! They are an important part of being a violist. We're able to laugh at ourselves in a way self-serious violinists can't.

How do you know when a violist is at your door...? She can't find the key and doesn't know when to come in!

@@emfox6280 That reminds me of a certain conductor who said that Mahler's symphonies remind him of a person coming home and unable to find their key.

The violist here - going with some music that was new to me this past year. For most beautiful I'll offer up the Chaconne from Rameua's opera Dardanus. Most driving, eh, I don't know, just listen to more Rameau. :)

Great playing by both. Thanks for not recording another brahms (as much as I love him). I briefly met the pianist at sick puppy a few years ago. This piece was always a tough sell for me but this is about as good as I can imagine it sounding. I used to think the pianist had the heavier workload, but the violist needs enough artistic vision and charisma to make this hold together, so I guess I changed my mind on that (my experience in hearing older recordings of this work was always underwhelming). I also seem to have a vague recollection of the andante being used in his first symphony or something like that.

@wagnersnightmare4062 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! The pianist might indeed have the heavier workload, but that helps make up for the viola-heavy workload when we recorded the "Arpeggione" Sonata!

@alexnewson6013 6 ай бұрын

does this explore the viola enough...would the essence be retained if directly transposed to 'cello?

@wagnersnightmare4062 2 ай бұрын

Cellists should absolutely play it! The essence probably would be retained. Some of the stuff would be exceptionally difficult, but that hasn't stopped cellists before!

viola is pretty underrated true. I don't get it. Such a nice tone

@oldionus Жыл бұрын

Both are indispensable, and since violins are the soprano and alto instruments, they are necessarily prevalent. Having said that, I adore the viola, and lament there aren't more concertos and sonatas.
