That MP3 of Finnissy.... how's anyone meant to tell if he's actually playing the written notes or just banging his hands on the keyboard like a two year old?
presto, actually,Most pianists seem to agree that avante-garde poses the most difficult technical and mental challenges.Why do you think Hamelin is such a monster? His Rach 3 tour was probably a walk in the park. Why was Ogden the same?They both played insane modern music.Of course, who cares.... romantic rules.

What pleases your ears, is not guaranteed to please others.Thal
No need either for the comma or even the statement of the obvious that contains it, if you'll pardon my saying so; what surely matters most here, however, is that the very idea of the "hardest piano piece" is fatuous, useless and pointless, despite it having been the subject of goodness knows how many threads on this and other fora.(yawn...)Best,Alistair
Who really cares about the fine points of his grammar? He certainly got the message of what he wanted to say across accurately. I like the comma there, it adds a pause for breath, there is nothing wrong with saying things like that with a small pause in the middle. I'm sure there is gramatically, but in the real world, no-one really cares.
Also there are many threads on 'the hardest piano piece' but there are some which start arguments, even when the question is asked 'What is the hardest piano piece in your opinion'I know this one isn't such, but it is still a good place for people to state their opinions, and discuss with others why that opinion is or isn't true.
there's really no limit to what the most difficult piece ever written is..
i hope so! new possibilities will ever arise, and together new difficulties. btw, good luck with the liszt project! disregarding if it's not the hardest piece, it is hard enough!
What emotions does Finnissy evoke in you?
All these retards saying that Finnissy-style crap is music.It does not evoke emotions except irritation with the piece.However, as a musician, you strive to find meaning in such sh*t, as has already been referred to people do the same with art, literature.What emotions does Finnissy evoke in you?These people describing it as a storm? A storm is powerful, mixed between booming and calm. Finnissy's music more reminds me of a shard of glass going into my eye.Let's face it, he probably isn't serious with his pieces. If he is, he is either attention seeking by deliberately trying to sell such noise as music, or he is mentally disturbed and trying to express his psychotic issues through the piano.'Silence' is not a moving piece of music. Loud clatterings on a piano is not a moving piece of music. Furthermore, it is not the most difficult piece of music, but one of the easiest. I'm sure most people with or without piano expertise can create a similar type of sound. I'm sure most dogs can.In conclusion, I drew you all a piece of art. It expresses emotions of bittersweet love and happiness. Yeah, really. And noone else can recreate it. It is, probably, the most difficult-to-make piece of art in the world.
Judge 4 urself! Here is Henck's recording of Cogluotobusisletmesi (replace hxxp with http).hxxp://web.mac.com/andrs1/Site/Clarence_Barlow_files/01%20Cogluotobusisletmesi.mp3
There are many artists who aim to confuse, the more they confuse the more interesting they become and people who are so confused say, Oh they must be good because this is hard to understand! Music should at least effect us in some way, make us feel a certain mood. I guess if you like the feeling of constipation, of feeling sick, of feeling disorientated, in a daze, spaced out of your mind musically, then you will like the strange sounding music. Often I just feel angry. That talented musicians waste their time learning trash that just makes us feel more angry when we listen to it!
Finnissy is trash. You are trash. Rudolf de Crignis is not an artist.Attaching 30 squares to a wall isn't art. It's construction, and you can get anyone to do it for £30p/day labour charges, plus the cost of plaster.Just because you have no idea what is and isn't trash doesn't mean that the rest of us don't.
He spent WEEKS laboring over his canvasses.
This is my first post - and I've only read the first two pages on this topic. When I was a boy, this time, (what I mean by this time, c.1966ADP [year of Our Lord's Second Coming], not back in c.30AD [c.10AD actually] when I baptized Jesus), both my hands were chopped off at the wrists - surgery and healing was like pins and needles. Yet, in less than ten years after that I managed to play the 1st movement of Grieg's Piano Concerto with the Philadelphia Orchestra as a Student Audition winner.
I rest my *** case. You're just pathetic for backing up such a lowlife.
Your case isn't "rested." Hurling your little-boy insults and ad hominem attacks are the only evidence you're presenting. De Criginis' paintings are well-known to be virtually UN-photographable. The camera can't catch the play of lines, light and images beneath what YOU THINK you are seeing -- just flat, monochrome squares. Of course they look absurd reproduced. What they achieve can't be detected by the camera -- only the human eye and viewed in person. Obviously, you haven't seen them in person, displayed in natural light where the images buried in the brush strokes emerge and evolve through the monochromatic color. Even the the color shifts as you are looking at them. They're regarded as magical, vibrant works by anyone who has seen them in person.Oh, what the hell am I doing discussing this with the likes of you? Well, actually, I'm not. I'm defending Rudi's works against your dumbass misrepresentation of them and your fascist contempt for anything you can't fit in a well-known, reactionary box.Buzz off, bozo.
General D, full throttle! Fire torpedos at will.
And I suppose not liking modern art makes me uncultured, some sort of uncivilised barbarian? Gtfo you pretentious prick.
