Schumann Carnaval
on: June 08, 2004, 03:48:56 PM
I am playing Carnaval by Schumann now quite for a while. The whole piece for me is questions,questions and questions. This must be one of most misterious piece in whole piano literature.Apart from enormous technical dificculty comes problem-how to make it as a unity for a listener, and how to get right proportions on it.How to find balance between excentric,ironic side of it and this extreamly inner,fragile,full of personal care expression.Sometimes it feels-I know exactly how to play it,and then again comes times,when I am compleately lost.
Do you have some ideas? And also-how to learn Paganini?

The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side. (Hunter Thompson)
