Piano Street Magazine:
A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center
For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

DUEL/ pianogeek_cz vs. arensky, Bach Sinfonia 15
on: June 30, 2007, 11:56:55 PM
To quote pianowolfi,

"People imo it sucks. But duel is duel and deadline is deadline."


So here it is. This is very much a work in progress (obviously  :P ) and I will evantually post a finished performance. Until then...

Mm. 26-28 are particularly surreal. Enjoy... ?   :-[

After pianogeek_cz posts his interpretation tomorrow, I will unlock the poll.

Okay, to sum this thing up is... crap, why can't I get a decent microphone? Sorry for the abysmal sound quality, but I can't currently designate $$ for new recording equipment.

There is also something weird about the file, in about 50% of cases, my Windows Media Player opens it, in the other 50% it babbles something about codecs, starts a protest T-shirt campaign and shuts down. Musicmatch Jukebox and other stuff works without a problem. I am also not sure about the volume. (Had weird problems exporting the bugger into *.mp3... Something ugly is up with my computer's audio, probably.)

Music-wise... Work in progress? Hell, yeah.  ::)

Let the better rendition win!

I would go for pianogeek's interpretation. Arensky's is a bit too fast in my book, especially considering the fact that he can't keep the tempo when the thirtyseconds come ;) Actually Windows media doesn't work with it, but Winamp did it in my case.

Good job pianogeek! Yours is definitely more polished and in control than mine.

Wolfi, you're right, I can't handle the tempo (yet). But that's how it should go, for me. "Muss es sein".
