Hi everyone,
just heard the Schiff lecture on the D major sonata no. 7 (op.10 no 3) [url]http://music.guardian.co.uk/classical/page/0,,1943867,00.html[/url]. Listen to 2:20 and 5:50. He claims the 4 equal semi quaver approach taken by most pianists on bar 53 (I think) is nonsense. I like this pianist a lot and it surprised me to hear such an "inflexible" comment, to say the least. Historical and notational reasons aside (and I believe at that era, Beethoven could quite normally write what he did, and mean 4 semiquavers) to my ears, Schiff's interpretation sounds bad and disruptive to the flow of the music. What do you think? |

This is from my senior recital in April 2005.

I'm choosing a Beethoven sonata movement to learn next year. My piano teacher gave me 3 choices:
1) Sonata No. 7 in D Major Op. 10 No. 3 1st mvt. Presto. 2) Sonata No. 18 in Eb Major Op. 31 No. 3 2nd mvt. Scherzo. 3) Sonata No. 26 in Eb Major Op. 81a "Les adieux" 1st mvt.
I think all of these pieces are within my technical ability (my previous pieces include Jeux d'Eau, Chopin Scherzo No. 2, Saint-Saens Piano concerto no. 2 1st mvt), but this is going to be my second priority piece. I'll mainly be working on Busoni's Carmen Fantasy ;D , and I don't have time to learn and polish 2 big pieces.
Anyway, I was wondering if you guys could maybe give me a suggestion on which piece to learn.
Thanks! |
