find the hot "x"
on: May 09, 2006, 05:31:41 PM
my concert with a national orchestra on august 8, 2006:


"x"

mozart piano concerto K. 414

intermission

beethoven piano concerto no. 4


friendly instructions:

1. "x" must be chosen from tds' grand recital tour program, which can be found on this link: https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php/topic,16930.0.html
2. "x" can be one or more solo piano work(s)
3. "x" has to be effective and most interesting. read: hot!

dear tds,

nothing on the list will do.  has to be a new piece.  i will find you a hot piece.

rondo k 382 in D.  that's the only thing that will do.  you must play this.  and, you have to come to philly, ok.  susan

you have to play solo piano work(s) before you play 2 concertos??  :o

ok, anyway, agreed with pianistimo - nothing on your list will do (i mean, you can choose anything on that list, but then you'd have to change the mozart), except maybe the haydn sonata, but i don't think that qualifies as "hot".

what i think would work: bach-busoni chaconne, or bach - partitas 2/6 or english suites 2/4/6 or the chromatic fantasy & fugue, or maybe haendel - chaconne con variazioni (the 62 variations one)

(imho)

best luck

anda, same with pianonut, you suggested good pieces, but again it has to be from the list. now, that you mentioned the haydn, i am leanning towards this work. it can well be a "viennese classics" concert.

Do the alborada! It works well with mozart.

(Why didn't ravel ever write a lambada del grazioso??)

u think alborada be good to open the concert? just a 7 minute work and is followed by a 25 min mozart concerto?

lambada del grazioso!--LOL. it couldabeen the sexiest classical work in the whole literature, u think? it could make bolero sound grannidull....

The Händel variations IMO.

pheww....u think?

i guess "x" doesn't have to be "most interesting", but rather it ought to be effective.

i think i ma do the haydn. anyone think it may not be a good idea?

dear tds,  your idea of 'hot' is funnier than mine.  haydn?  yes, he was a hot composer alright.  (*thinks about springtime in philadelphia and the animals proliferating in the country.  it's cute to see a gaggle of geese, or fawns, little bunnies, we have it all).  it's extremely beautiful here.  everything is muti-shades of green - with contrasts from various fruit trees and all.  people like to garden here - so there is a lot of color everywhere.

I think it's a very good idea! Classy program: haydn - mozart - beethoven.

But haydn = hot? Right... ;D

Haydn? NO

Brahms Op. 24? YES !

brahms' handel is so big and takes the whole world onto itself. i need a smaller work that quite dramatic and catchy, and most importantly a work that ushers the audience to the mozart. haydn hob XVI/32 is prolly the right one.

can you explain the reason of your objection? tds
