Pierre Boulez
on: April 15, 2006, 11:23:17 AM
Hi !!

I went to a Pierre Boulez concert yesterday where the composer himself was present with his Ensemble Intercontemporain. I must say anyway that he is a fantastic conductor and I did get a chance to him!!

It was well... Boulez music. Strange. I do not particularly dislike his pieces though I am no fan. I was wondering however if he did write some practisable piano pieces (what I mean by practisable is whether the pianist can stand practising his music ::))

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

I know. I was too much in awe to think of taking of having my picture taken out with him.
 :-\ it'll teach me for next time...

he's got quite a "noble" air but seems quite nice (only exchanged a couple of words).

Anyway, are you a fan?

Well I just recently got to know more about him and his works. I don't know much so far, but do expect to find out. I just think that it is incredible that you actually got to meet, let alone exchange words with a great composer.

There's 3 piano sonatas as far as I know.  I think it's no.2 where you can omit certain sections at your own will so if it's not 'practicable', take it out ;)
