DUEL/ pianogeek_cz vs. arensky, Bach Sinfonia 15
on: June 30, 2007, 11:56:55 PM
To quote pianowolfi,

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


So here it is. This is very much a work in progress (obviously  :P ) and I will evantually post a finished performance. Until then...

Mm. 26-28 are particularly surreal. Enjoy... ?   :-[

After pianogeek_cz posts his interpretation tomorrow, I will unlock the poll.

Okay, to sum this thing up is... crap, why can't I get a decent microphone? Sorry for the abysmal sound quality, but I can't currently designate $$ for new recording equipment.

There is also something weird about the file, in about 50% of cases, my Windows Media Player opens it, in the other 50% it babbles something about codecs, starts a protest T-shirt campaign and shuts down. Musicmatch Jukebox and other stuff works without a problem. I am also not sure about the volume. (Had weird problems exporting the bugger into *.mp3... Something ugly is up with my computer's audio, probably.)

Music-wise... Work in progress? Hell, yeah.  ::)

Let the better rendition win!

I would go for pianogeek's interpretation. Arensky's is a bit too fast in my book, especially considering the fact that he can't keep the tempo when the thirtyseconds come ;) Actually Windows media doesn't work with it, but Winamp did it in my case.

Good job pianogeek! Yours is definitely more polished and in control than mine.

Wolfi, you're right, I can't handle the tempo (yet). But that's how it should go, for me. "Muss es sein".
