Title: A Ticket(s) To Your Most Sought After Musical Concert/Event---
Post by: Allan on April 16, 2005, 06:45:25 AM

Imagine you could go back in time, what musical concert/event would you most like to see/witness?   My easy choices would be:

1.  The greatest architect of sound,  J.S. Bach, playing the pipe organ.

2.  Franz Liszt at home or in concert playing the piano.

3.  The great Art Tatum playing the piano.

A full blown rivalry competition between Mozart and Clementi, or Lizst and Chopin, or Chopin and Kalkbrener, or Yundi Li vs Martha Argerich, you get the idea...

Or at least, I'd like to watch Lizst make a mistake and then finish the piece in the key of the wrong note he played...

1. Diedrich Buxtehude playing organ (he's reputedly better than JS Bach at playing organ)

2. Liszt in a private concert - then I can annoy him by telling him to play this and that in octaves and thirds :D

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the premier of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring...now that would just be fun...and dangerous....

Also...I would have liked to watched Scelsi hit a single note hours on end in his asylum...

I would really like to see Rzewski perform...or Boulez conduct...or even Sorabji composing
