Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini
Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity. His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

Robert Schumann - Traumeri, Opus 15, No. 7 - Enzo
on: March 14, 2011, 03:36:35 PM

Sometimes the practice session sounds much better and I feel this is one of those. I am glad that on that day we were also experimenting with microphone placement and was able to record the practice. This was almost 3 years ago but Enzo has never gotten to finish it. However, I heard him play it a bit the other day while trying to relax from the tons of schoolwork he must finish as school here is winding down in 2 weeks and it will be summer vacation.  We would appreciate any comments in anticipation of Enzo finally finishing the piece.

about the recording:  We were able to borrow 2 good microphones then, but made the mistake of recording it in a tape recorder.  The audio was longer than the video .. heheh ::) Thanks to my audiophile friend who did some splicing.  He also applied a little DSP to make it appear that the room is much bigger. It sounds definitely better.

So lovely.  Thank you, Enzo!  It was a change to see you with your glasses on and reading the notes.  You just looked like you were enjoying yourself in your room, taking a break from schoolwork and relaxing with schumann.  Your love of the music comes through!

Hi Enzo and emill,

This was a lovely, relaxed performance of "Traumeri".  It was good to see Enzo reading from the score--these days, I thought I was only one doing that! ;D  Anyway, beautifully played.  This is one of those character pieces that one can play for a lifetime. And every once in awhile Schumann gives us a new insight into the piece as well as the art of piano.

I enjoyed listening.

Congratulations to Enzo, really good and mature, soulful and concentrate playing, beautiful sound out of the piano, in other words : perfect !
I first really enjoyed the mp3 but I discovered soon, looking after the name of the pianist, that it was you and not a big famous name. I'm impressed, how old are you ?
Best wishes Enzo,  ;)

It's always a joy hearing Enzo playing: the piano seems to be a natural extension of his soul. I'm moved...
