Shchedrin?
on: June 28, 2005, 03:32:19 PM
Anyone ever played pieces of Rodion Shchedrin? I'm not really familiar with his style, but I think it's cool  :) His humoresque is quite cool to hear  ;D I'm going to start A La Albéniz and maybe Basso Ostinato, anyone know these pieces and their difficulties? Please help me out  :)

i havent played any of his pieces.
infact the only piece i heard by him is his piano concerto, which i really liked, specially the third movement. where it switches all of a sudden to jazz, and then back to classical and then jazz again, and then back........
it was fun .

Did you by any chance listen to the Kuzmin Encore CD? it has all those pieces you mention, I think there is also this wacky Toccata that uses Bach's Invention No.8 in F as one of the themes.

I learnt the A al albenz and the Humoreque, and didnt find it too difficult, the basso ostinato looks like pig though... must be difficult to co-ordinate..

I haven't heard of the Kuzmin Encore CD.. Maybe I should try to find it!

I could choose between Basso Ostinato and A La Albéniz, I finally took the last one  :P I think that one is more fun than Basso Ostinato, am I right?
