Feedback from the random federation
on: March 25, 2007, 07:21:24 PM
I played my pieces for the federation (Brahms 118-2 and MacD Witch's Dance.)
He (the judge) was very impressed and spoke with me for a long time afterwards.
He suggested doing 118-2 in 6/4 instead of 3/4. He gave me further tips for all of Brahms 118 and 119 (
). He said that my phrasing and intellectual control was very Brahmsian and that I ought to play the B minor Rhapsody, not the popular G minor.
He went on to say that I could do "Gnomenreigen" like no one's business, that I could do Sonetto 104 of Petrarch, or even any of Liszt's Etudes D'Execution Transcendante. - That surprised me.
He then criticized me for going into a field besides music
.
I was chosen for the recital that afternoon.
Thanks for reading,
Dan

For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert. (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)
