Hi, Greg. I just got the sad news that Dr. Stern passed away. I was his piano student at Cal State circa 1973-1975. I often wondered if he might put his vast collection of performances and educational materials on KZfaq some day but he never got around to it, probably too complex a project for him at his advanced age. I watched his series "Characters and the Arts" religiously on TV in the mid 60's before I even knew who he was. He once had a live performance of the Liszt 2nd Concerto on his show with Gaylord Brown conducting. I also studied conducting with Mr. Brown at about the same time. Both were extremely helpful in establishing Cal State LA's reputation as having an excellent music program, along with Henry Jackson who I once had the privilege of seeing him play both the Rachmaninoff 2nd and 3rd Concertos in one concert. I assume you inherited all this material from Dr. Stern's estate. What a wonderful tribute to put it up for him for posterity. There are a few performances of his Brahms No 2 and Mozart No 17 around on audio. I was very familiar with those from the Cal State listening lab. I am enjoyng this collection immensely and I hope you make his other things available as well.

Hi JJ Townley, a pleasure to hear that my archiving work is appreciated. Your final year at CSULA was the year that I arrived. Did you know Patrick Lindley? All of the recordings I had came from his son Adam Stern. A recording of the Brahms 2 was not among them. I’m told by Patrick, who heard it live, said it was an almost disastrous performance. As for the Characters in the Arts, I still have about half of them remaining to edit and put up on KZfaq still. greg.sandell atsign gmail dot com.

@@gsandell Yes, I'm sure there are other former students out there who will appreciate the tremendous effort you are making to keep Dr. Stern's legacy alive. Was he sick when he passed or was it just natural causes and how old was he? Re the Brahms 2 it wasn't so much disastrous playing as it was disastrous memory slips. One of them I vividly recall was measures 133-136 he simply couldn't remember the sequence so he waited patiently for the phrase at 137 and picked up there. There were a few others but I cannot recall them. His performance career was checkered but as a scholar and lecturer he was unparalleled. JJ

Thanks!👌 quien disfruta escuchando a thelonius monk tiene el oído para disfrutar del gran Frank Zappa. Lo más divertido de la música es encontrase casi siempre con una resolución inesperada (dominantes secundarios, sustituto tritonal,etc) sin llegar a tocar absolutamente todo "out" de la tonalidad 👌👏👏👏👏👏💪

You can really detect Zappa's ear for the sort of thematic patterns and contrasts in music one would traditionally hear accompanying the sorts of ceremonial dances that were popular in Europe for centuries, where a confident, broad collective striding movement gives way to twirling, waltzing et al. The gospel influence gives it even broader resonance. An iconic work of music.

It is helpful for me to hear these recordings of my colleaugue, Milton Stern after so many years. He was a pretty good pianist, but he treated me badly forany years, and contributeduch pain to me during my eatly years ad a professor at Cal State L. A. . Today, it saddens me, now that he is dead. He resented my presence in his world. I now know why.

She’s so gifted and all of us pianists admire what she can do. But I swear I was expecting her to deliver a cocktail to someone at a slot machine in Las Vegas. The only thing missing is the bunny tail and ears. She would fit right in there. I once was criticized for not wearing a formal jacket at a piano competition and the lady who served as stage manager told me to borrow the jacket of the guy who played before me. She said it was disrespectful of the jury. I wonder what she would think if I went out in workout clothes, tennis shoes, shorts and a tank top? It seems the male equivalent of this. Yuja or her manager have clearly done this for publicity, and it’s working. People are talking. But I wonder if she actually thinks it looks good? That would blow my mind if she did. Sorry, it doesn’t look good, or appropriate, unless you’re serving cocktails at Hooters. 😂🎉😂🎉😂🎉 Would someone wear a flashy red gown at a funeral? I would hope not.

If it were a man in a tank top with big muscles, I might change my mind, but probably not. Do you think she’s appropriately dressed for a funeral? If so, why? I don’t find her attractive at all.

@@griffin5734 if I want to see a trapeze artist or a cocktail waitress, I’ll go to venues where I can see such things. Not being attracted to females, and especially Yuja, I think I would rather see someone who shows some respect to the composers, audience and orchestra. To me, this is like a blatant slap in the face of all the above. Now if a hot muscle guy came out in a tank top, perhaps I would change my mind. Then all the homophobes would have a fit. Yuja is alleged to be a lesbian, so it’s rather hilarious that straight men would be lusting after her. She’s not interested in you (them).

Again: do you think she would be appropriately dressed to attend a funeral? It not, why not? I consider a classical music concert to be a serious event, not an occasion to model clothes, and I don’t want to see this.

@@griffin5734 insecure is an odd word to use. I’m a gay man with zero interest in women. How does that make me insecure? Would you be bothered by attending a concert if a male pianist were shirtless? Does that make you insecure if it bothered you? You don’t make any sense. The proper word for my reaction is: disgust or I find it offensive.
