DUELS

[thalbergmad]

Unfortunately, 10-2, I'm going to have to withdraw from the duel due to an injury to my right arm. I'm forbidden basically all RH work until it's better.

bleh.

I hope you get better soon.

Although i did make fun of your injury in chat room, i hope you realise i was just trying to cheer you up with amputation jokes.

No piano, no tennis and no computers for 1 month.

[opus10no2]

Sorry about that, but this means we must modify our duel, let's pick a LH solo piece

[pita bread]

I vill be the firzt to zuggezt...

God-chop 10/2 pour le main gauche

[pianistimo]

i think everyone should play one of the same pieces as everyone else and then several different ones:

liebestraum
chopin etude
contemporary piece
random choice

(i haven't practiced for two weeks).  ok.  the piano got tuned.   

[thalbergmad]

ok.  the piano got tuned.   

I think it is you that needs to get tuned my little Pa Princess.

Thal

[Mozartian]

Thanks wolfi.

And thanks thal- lol, I know you were trying to cheer me up. You did succeed! I guess you're right about the tennis- although it'll mean the THIRD straight season I've missed (missed fall and winter due to my ankle, argh). So stupid. And yeah I'm cutting down computer quite a bit.

10-2 & pita- lol....

um I think even comme could possibly beat me in a LH only duel. I did think of the Godowsky 10-2 actually, but... GOOD GRACIOUS. Not too familiar with LH rep otherwise (I know Scriabin has a prelude and a nocturne...)

bleh.

sorry to hear about that. you should do godowsky chopin etude on op 10 no 6 LH. its way better than the original chopin etude lol. also the scriabin prelude & nocturne for LH are worth a glance. get well soon!

[pita bread]

Maybe. I played this 20 years ago and will again someday. Not sure if now is the right time; you mean to the end of the sonata, right? I think of the fugue as a 4th movement, although they are attached...

I'll be back soon with a definite reply.

[etudes]

nice choice indeed.
I would pick something like....1 round of competition....lets say
Bach - 1 Partita or 3 P/F
Beethoven any of last 5 Sons
Liszt Sonata
Etude. ...whatever you want

If Marik and Bar-Niv agree to take part (hahaha rarely I know you marik you wouldnt lower yourself with him) then it would be awesome

[elevateme_returns]

opus10no2  - op. 10 no 2 for august 1st. long time i know, i dont have time to look at it as ive got GCSEs coming up and 2 big competitions, so i wont get to learn it properly till july.

[franzliszt2]

opus10no2.........Alkan symphony..4th movement....tomorrow! 

[opus10no2]

That piece is not currently in my repertoire

[elevateme_returns]

well? august 1st? 10/2?

[opus10no2]

Prepare for defeat.

[m]

Marik Vs ramibarniv

Nah, don't hold your breath .

I don't compete with amateurs. They... drag you down to their level and then beat on their territory .

[m]

If Marik and Bar-Niv agree to take part (hahaha rarely I know you marik you wouldnt lower yourself with him) ...

Ah, now I see you got my point .

P.S. On a second thought, some serious stuff like complete Beethoven op.101 or Schubert Wanderer, would do it.
Or some Concerto, like Tchaik.1st, or Rach3.

Re: Liszt Sonata. I learnt it when I was young, however, I still don't feel to be ready for it.
Sorry.

[imbetter]

anybody for scarlatti K.491

[etudes]

OIC
I always thought that every concert pianists should have Liszt sonata in their repertoire,regardless if they play it in concert or not
anyway it is a MUST for every pianists (thats why I put it for the duelz!)
wow do you happen to have your recording of Beethoven op.101 (esp.fugue)?

I do have Liszt Sonata in repertoire--I learned it about 20 years ago, I just never played it in concerts. Maybe another 5-10 years...

And in fact, I think I have somewhere both Wanderer and Op.101 recorded live. I just never bothered to listen to them. IIRC, I forgot something in Fugue or missed a chord or two and Wanderer was my first experience on stage.

Best, M

Just another proposal for working out the American Constitution   

[pianistimo]

people should play what they enjoy and relate to.  but, i suppose for the purpose of true competition - there should be several pieces required.  one that noone has played and has to learn from scratch and one that is known but a free choice.

[imbetter]

i agree pianistimo

[rob47]

i challenge anyone to anything

[m]

Airsoft.  CQB.  No mercy.  Thursday at high noon.  Be there and bring your own toys and medical supplies.

[pianowolfi]

Gotcha. Rach sonata no 1 complete by Nov.1st?

[rob47]

Gotcha. Rach sonata no 1 complete by Nov.1st?

ahaahha somehow i knew when i saw tha 88wolf this would be the proposition.

I am all for it.

unless you want to try something new and ambitious, yet equal in GIRTH like Godowsky Passacaglia?

[pianowolfi]

I'll have a look on it and then see

Out of my reach, timewise, perhaps not difficulty- wise. Beautiful piece though!

[arensky]

Anyone up for Beethoven Op. 101 Mvt. 3 (from Langsam und sehnsuchtsvoll to the end)?

June 23

I decline. 

It's not where I'm at right now. I will post a challenge soon, however. 

[m]

Well, for upcoming tour in October besides two other programs I need to learn some new pieces.
Need some challenge to start, so any takers on the following:

Prokofiev Sonata no.2 (complete)
Schumann Phantasiestucke op.12 (complete)
Schumann Novelette in D major (possibly)
Rachmaninov, Moments Musical op.16 (excl. #1)
Rachmaninov, Etude Tableaux D Major (op.39)

If not then I will need to challenge myself, I guess

[m]

  I also don't know any of those... and need to learn them all... .
and up untill last couple weeks I haven't touched the piano for half a year   

The tour is October--November... in Russia.

[pianowolfi]

Good luck then! 

[imbetter]

[avetma]

Anybody for Chopin 25/11?

Tomorrow?

... along with 10/1, 10/2, 10/4, 10/8, 10/11, 25/6, 25/8, 25/12, or Feux Follets?

Most of the rest just too lazy to get back to...

[pita bread]

I decline. 

It's not where I'm at right now. I will post a challenge soon, however. 

*sigh*

I'll come up with something less ridiculous to challenge with after I learn that movement. The 3 vs 4 polyrhythm in the 2nd mvt is still giving me some trouble.
