Title: Kurtag: Jatekok (Games for piano)
Post by: houseofblackleaves on April 07, 2007, 03:12:58 AM

I've loved these peices for a very long time.  I have a couple volumes and they are absolutely amazing... their notation is so strange!  I wish I could get them all, but they're like 20$ per vol. 

Any comments on these amazing miniatures?

Hooray for me and my lack of a scanner.  :P  (Meh, I'll find one....)

Performance comments?  There's a few on that one Thomas Ades CD, the composer played it too.  Anyone listened to those?

Or how about Einav Yarden from the E-Competition? (Go see the vids on their website)

heh, i was kidding. i havent listened to them all. my CD with some selections of them is gathering dust, i really should listen to them. i loved the ones on the adès CD, though. i will listen to them a bit and possibly buy some sheets for myself.

I can find a way to scan the ones I have (vol.1 & 2) and if you get other volumes (3, or 5-7 and well, possibly 4) then we could have a happy shiny exchange. 


Possibly? ::) (They're quite expensive for 40 some page booklets)

i could send you the equivalent in other scores and mp3s if you like (i REALLY want to see those). or i might just invest in a few volumes.
