Schoenberg op.19-1

[Steffen Fahl]

I programmed this with pianosamples.
It is just an experiment how far they can cope with the extreme dynamic demands of this piece.
Since it is still missing in this collection it may perhaps contribute to the auditionroom as well.
I hope you like it.

Beautiful.  I've played this.  It's almost too perfect.  I mean as far as dynamics and tone.  that ending is so magical when played by a true artist.  But it was beautiful to hear again.  Thanks!

Thats great that you like this as I do. Thoses op.19 seem to me quite likely to become the next "Kinderszenen"-Miracle of our tradition. And still I am quite pleased to be critizised as friendly as you did for this recording. I know that the End of the piece needs the performance since the purer sound likewise desubstantiate into the pure Idea of a tone, which nearly needs a performer to  keep it alive while it is infact no more audible. For those last notes I confess the perfomer has a better chance to meet the Idea of the piece, while other details especially in dynamics are as much demanding for the normal performer, that it is not often heard done exactly in the way as it is composed.
So without the chance to get a perfect realisation perhaps this might give for some moments another Idea what might be intended.
