Piano Style "This or That"
on: May 23, 2007, 09:24:24 AM
Pretty simplereally, I start by giving two choices, you say which you prefer, and give two different choices afterwards, e.g. I say:

Chopin or Liszt?

someone else replies with:

Chopin

Chopin 10, 5 or Chopin 25, 11?

-------------------------------------

Here we go:

Arthur Rubinstein or Sviatoslav Richter?

Incidentally, Rubinstein loved Richter.  He said about him, "Richter plays, and the piano responds.  It brings tears to my eye."  I don't know what feelings Richter had about Rubinstein, but I am sure they were mutually positive.

Fine! *sighs* honestly some of you are so difficult!! It's a choice of saying one answer and moving on!! Flippin' heck, there's some awkward people on here!

If it makes you happy:

Chopin Ballade, Op. 52  OR  Scriabin Op. 8, No. 12?

Chopin Ballade. I've never liked the Scriabin.

Miroirs or Gaspard?

Isn't it possible to confine this weary topic to some dusty corner of pianoforum, like "Polls, etc." with an emphasis on the "etc."?  Or maybe we can create some new Sibera just for this, a subcategory of the subcategory "Polls, etc." called "Modified Polls - etc."

25/3 it is. Not that 10/1 isn't nice, i've just always been partial to the other.

I would say neither... but II if I had to pick.  :D

Chopin etudes op10 or op25?  (or trois... I guess...)
I'm an optimist... but I don't think it's helping...
