DUEL with imbetter: Mozart Fantasy c-minor KV 475

[pianowolfi]

This is my second duel. All in all I am more satisfied with this one than with the Rach prelude. I needed two takes, the last part from M. 130 (Piu allegro) has been recorded separately, I joined the two files. It's also not yet where I would want it to be but alas

Have fun!

[thalbergmad]

We eagerly await the excuses of the master.

1. My house burned down
2. My school flooded (think this one has been used before)
3. My next door neighbours parrot has got the plague and i have been evacuated.
4. Someone stole my piano
5. One of my horses severed an electric cable and my recording equipment won't work.
6. I am too busy with the Don Juan

[thalbergmad]

Regretfully, his house has been hit by an asteroid so his post will be a little delayed.

Thal

[imbetter]

Asteroids might be inspiring (presumed they don't hit you)

[schubertiad]

"People imo it sucks. But duel is duel and deadline is deadline.

Best   

Wolfi"

Can anyone spot the difference between this post on the rach thread and the one before last on this thread?

[thalbergmad]

blah my recording sucks its not even worth putting on.

We still wish to hear it.

If you don't. there will always be some that think you can't play it at all.

Thal

[elevateme_returns]

and, if youre lucky, there might be some people that think you can. after all, you can play ballade 1, right? you might as well record that instead, seeing as you promised to put it on youtube at least 6 months ago.

[phil13]

*is disappointed*

The point of a duel is to have fun, and you don't back out of one just because your recording is not what you wanted it to be. You made the decision to accept the duel, and now you should own up to your own words.

wow! who would have thunk?? top man imbetter well done

i take this back. hats off to phil again, really well done, considering you had 2 duels on the go and posted them both. top stuff

[imbetter]

wolfi wins. mine is garbage

[Mozartian]

wolfi wins. mine is garbage

NONEXISTENT

IBTY actually called me up today, very upset. His dog knocked the camera off the table- breaking it and opening it up. The dog proceeded to steal the film and make off with it. IBTY at the time was about to set off fireworks through his living room window, and in his HORROR at his dog left a lighted firecracker... in his piano. Alas. Poor piano. It blew up, along with the sheetmusic.. and the dog.

IBTY will not be able to post recordings anymore. 

[elevateme_returns]

wolfi wins. mine is garbage

so you honestly think he cares about winning? its not the winning that counts . its taking part. so wolfi learnt it for nothing?? jesus.

mozartian, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[pianowolfi]

so you honestly think he cares about winning? its not the winning that counts . its taking part. so wolfi learnt it for nothing?? jesus.

mozartian, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Lol. No I didn't learn it for nothing. A while back I started to play this piece after many years of Mozart abstinence, because a friend of mine inspired me to come back to it

[imbetter]

and i gave pianowolfi a reason to learn it







































































i should stop talking now

[elevateme_returns]

how about you post your recording? we'll all shut up if you do, no matter how bad it is.

i feel bad about pressing you for it. hope you can accept my apologies. even if you didnt learn it, so what.

[imbetter]

i appreciate that. Now id feel rotten if i didnt post a rec.

ill try and get one up as soon as i get the chance.

[elevateme_returns]

no problem mate. a delayed recording is better than one that isnt there at all.

[elevateme_returns]

yeah don't overdo the delayed part though.

[counterpoint]

i appreciate that. Now id feel rotten if i didnt post a rec.

That's the real pianist!  Never publish a flunky recording!

Better make a new one 

[Mozartian]

yeah don't overdo the delayed part though.

 

[elevateme_returns]

nice signature mozartian lol

[retrouvailles]

I disagree entirely.

Btw, imbetter, post the recording. People will only think less of you if you don't post it. We expect it in the next few days.

[pianistimo]

i'll post my version tonight.  lol.  i haven't played it in a couple of months - but i play it faster.  hahah pianowolfi. 

[pianistimo]

here it is:

[elevateme_returns]

respect, for posting it . xx

[Mozartian]

nice signature mozartian lol

IBTY is a budding music critic, no?

[goldentone]

Wow, I really enjoy your playing, pianistimo.  You have a distinctive quality, like if you heard Alfred Brendel on the radio you would immediately know it was him.

[pianowolfi]

i'll post my version tonight.  lol.  i haven't played it in a couple of months - but i play it faster.  hahah pianowolfi. 

Lol you play the Adagio faster but the Allegros slower . Cheating There would be many things to discuss, but I have not enough time atm. Perhaps I will come back later and comment more.

[el nino]

so is this a duel or not?

[pianowolfi]

Well we could turn it into a duel between Pianistimo and me, since imbetter seems to be still busy with his asteroid .

[pianistimo]

ok.  do you realize that only one letter keeps duel from duet.  if you were here pianowolfi- we could turn this fantasy into a duet.  i think it's actually written for duet, too.

[pianowolfi]

Do you have a duet version? IF I actually can manage to visit you we could take a rec for ps lol But I can't play the adagio that fast, no way. It would hurt. This needs time to breathe.

[pianistimo]

wine needs to breathe.  mozart needs to sing.  but, your sings, too. 

[pianowolfi]

wine needs to breathe.  mozart needs to sing.  but, your sings, too. 

Thank you , but how can you sing without breathing?

[elevateme_returns]

IBTY is a budding music critic, no?

aboslutely

[pianistimo]

you have to come and visit so i can show you.  *perhaps this is the reason i used to get dizzy occasionally during piano lessons revolving around this very piece.

[pianowolfi]

I get dizzy from hyperventilating, not from not-breathing
