The "weird" sounding pieces......
on: January 25, 2004, 07:24:00 AM
Im just started playing Toccata by Khachaturian, and it is one crazy sounding piece. Just wondering what your favorite "wierd" pieces are?

Well, if by weird you mean atonal, I have quite a few:

1.  I haven't heard the whole thing, but I've practiced some of the beginning pages and so far I like Violette's Sonata 6.
2.  I like Ornstein's Sonatas 4 and 7
3.  I like Sorabji's Gulistan and In the Hothouse
4.  Prokofiev's Toccata op. 11

These are just a couple.

Or three couples to be precise. The music of the Second Viennese school is interesting (Schoenberg, Berg and Webern),

What is a British couple?  I suppose that if I wanted to be literally correct, I would say two couples, as I have always thought a couple referred to two.

Yes, that music can be interesting at times.

You said six pieces, so if we coupled them we would get three couples,

Oh, I see (I was counting my numbers on the left).  Silly me.
