One of the most thrilling performances offered at Cremona Musica this year was the Wagner by Liszt recital given by Filippo Tenisci – Italian pianist, born 1998 and celebrated for his refined interpretations and expressive mastery of the Romantic repertoire. After his recital we got the chance talking to Tenici about his Wagner/Liszt project. Read more

Funeral marches/Largo
on: July 25, 2008, 12:40:04 AM
can you give me suggestions for funeral marches (or similar to that, e.g. 3rd mvt. of Chopin's 3rd sonata). I'd like to show to my mother that classical music is not at all times "nice", "bouncy", "soft" and most of all RELAXING!! Already mastered Chopin's funeral march (3rd mvt., 2nd sonata) and the beethoven funeral march (3rd mvt. no. 12 sonata). Anymore funeral marches?

Scriabin 1st Sonata.
Does it have to for piano?  Can you put a CD on? Does it have to be funeral marches to prove your point?  Put on the Rite of Spring - that's not nice, bouncy or soft!  or Atmospheres (Ligeti) - almost made me sick listening to that on a empty stomach!
Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

CD's? that's impossible. Maybe some Scriabin would do. But really, I'd like to play funeral marches all day.

Dissonant music eh? interesting. Maybe Messiaen's "Vingt Regards" would be a good idea. Maybe my mom hates the fortissimos

Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe

Alexander Scriabin died in April 1915, at forty-three, of a fever that took him within a week — leaving his great mystical project unfinished. He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer. In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more
