It's the first time I’ve listened to a pianist play this sonata using the Barry Cooper edition (just check out the third movement). However, I don’t understand why he skipped the full chords in the right hand in bars 32, 33, 124, and 125 of the first movement.

Oggi risento queste interpretazioni di ABM. Che tecnica miracolosa, che geniali sonorità. Chi ha suonato Scarlatti come Lui ? Nessuno. ABM genio insuperato ed insuperabile. Mi coglie tanta malinconia nel figgere la mente alla Sua mancanza.

Thanks. Appreciate this. I have just memorized the whole piece and am working on fluidity. Still a little slow on the melodic minor scales at the end. I also call them jazz minor scales😂😂Such a wonderful cool piece that could be many songs within one. What a great composer! Do you know any other really powerful Chopin like this, or even another composer? I prefer Cminor n g minor generally but did play Pathetique as well . Thanks👍✨🙏🏽🩵❤️💙

Team Beethoven, here. Great composer. He is part of the group of composers with "something to say", not a bunch of formulas and mathematical harmonies. And Schiff is sensible as a kid, but eyes and fingers of a tiger.

What a wonderful exploration of distinguishing between long, over-arching lines from secondary voices. His incisiveness cuts through the slobbery emotional excessiveness of so many pianists today, and simply presents these works as the composer intended,

The pitch is a semitone high and the tempos accordingly are faster than he played.

It also could be that the Grand was tuned up per the request of Michelangelli (the type of demands he was known for) for this session. Another version that would make a valid comparison against the 1949 one was his 1969 Scarlatti recording but that alone isn't sufficient to judge.

@@gaiusflaminius4861 Many KZfaq videos of classical music, including piano recordings, are a semitone high. It's a common problem that seems to be caused by some technical bug in KZfaq's compression and upload process. It's not plausible, musicologically or otherwise, that Michelangeli would have retuned a fine piano to A455, A460, or higher. Furthermore, pitch was lower in previous centuries: in 1815 A was generally tuned to 415. I don't know what it would have been in Scarlatti's time.
@gaiusflaminius4861Ай бұрын
@@pianoredux7516 My statement didn't imply the tuning conventions, supposedly accepted as a standard, nor had it to do with "musicology". The pitch and speed of recording aren't interdependent either. It's a technical peculiarity which may or may not emerge, but lower pitch doesn't entail slower _actual_ speed. As to the tempo Michelangeli played, it is a debatable subject.

As a music student and pianiist raised in Baja California, Mexico, I was fortunate to have studied with Hungarian pianist Istvan Nadas at San Francisco State University in the late sixties. He was friends with the chair of International Programs for the CA state college system that coordinated student travel studies abroad, US Rep. from Hayward, CA, Tom Lantos. He was also Hungarian and I am certain they helped me assure my accepptance into the study-abroad program in Spain, where I studied for two years in Madrid. I am certain they saw this young mexican kid in the midst of the cultural desert of California/Mexico, and decided to offer me the opportunity to broaden my horizon by accepting me for study in Spain. For that I am truly grateful. This interview with András reminds me of the humanitarian and intelligent manner of the few people I have had contact with from Hungary. I have been studying his videos of Beethoven Sonatas and am impressed of the breath of his knowledge and insights into Beethoven''s thinking, humor and skillful composing. To sum this up... I say "GRACIAS A LA VIDA" and that I love Hungary and Hungarians.

In his introductory comments before this performance, Maestro Schiff said that when he was a young man, he could play most of the notes in the sonata, but he had no idea what was going on. Today, he said, is just the opposite! I'll take him at his word - his playing always sounds wonderful to me.

I have more respect for him than any other living musician and his documentary on schubert is my favourite music documentary and a master piece in itself. Andras is very very special. He's an absolute gentleman and his insights are second to none. Every single word he said in the schubert documentary I was in full agreement with. He's a modest man. No ego at all. He's the humblest musician, almost awkward when he speaks to the audience. He's a gift to the world of music and will live forever.

I am sick of the interviewer constantly interrupting Schiff. Good interviewers do not need to do this. I have quit at 04.25 and will not return. Although I am interested in what Schiff said. But that kind of controlling the interviewed is not decent.

In his lecture on the op.106,(available on KZfaq-recorded in 2006) A. Schiff was of the opinion that, in the first movement, the pianists should follow Beethoven's metronome mark of minim= 138, especially since it is the only metronome mark that is due to Beethoven himself, and that , contrary to common belief, Beethoven's metronome was not "wrong", that he had examined it himself etc. So what happened since? With minim=138, the first movement's duration should be less than 8 minutes! This is of course impossible, as the fastest 1st movement so far is 8 mn 50 by Schnabel (minim=120)and we feel it's not right. I believe a reasonable tempo should be close to 10mn or thereabout(See, e.g. Levit, P. Serkin, M. Perahia ...)

How do you calculate "less than 8 minutes"? Counting the bars, simple multiplication and division? That is not how it works. A pianist is not a mechanical device, he or she is a musician.
