What are you listening to right now?

Unfortunately, the pianist and violinist here were uncited.

Sounds like a re-engineered version of this:

Violinist Andrei Korsakov (died young before he could even become a star) + Yolanta Miroschnikova at the piano.

Thank you, Dima.  That might be them.

So incredibly beautiful

How about a piano transcription?

[Bob]

Not quite there, but it's something. 

[outin]

Not quite there... 

Yeah...

[Bob]

If you're going to perform a piece like that, it's got to be 100%.  80-90% is leaving me thinking, "That could have been a little more ____ and that part needs a lot of a lot of work..."  It's depriving me of the listening experience since I know what I'm expecting to hear.  And I'm expecting something along the lines of those original recordings since I've heard.  Different interpretation maybe, but there probably isn't much wiggle room.

I sort of prefer the Schumann.

If there is a better neglected piano concerto, I have yet to hear it.

I'm listening to these:

Original soundtracks from:
-Fez
-Bastion
-Braid

(these are all video games, Fez is all synthesized music, Bastion is a mixture of electronic/acoustic, and Braid has some very nice loop effects on cello)

Give them a listen, I think they are really evocative.  If you don't like them, then that's just too bad for you

The American pianist doing this incredible feat (Rach 3 - transcription for piano solo), Christopher Falzone (a Fleisher student), died the day before yesterday, age 29.

Screw it...

I'm trying to listen to it in the most manly way possible.  


It reminds me of The People United Will Never be Defeated.  And it's easy for some impromptu ear training.  

[visitor]

Haha always like this girls stuff.  Love the pinball kimball grand lol

[Bob]

It's got to be the harmonies.  That's what usually keeps me listening.

That, the melody is easy, and I like the tone a bit on this piano.

Yeeeahp.... That's pretty much what I thought.  Great.

Still like it a bit though.  Prefer this piano version.  Reminds me of a tarantella or tango.

[Bob]

Memorized for a duet?


That's why you dress up for a performance though.  406,000 people view you... but you're performing in white t-shirt?  (Yes, it matters that it's a white t-shirt.  )

I don't what it is with getting pages to accept modified posts today.  Or the youtube links lately.  I'm giving up.

[Bob]

The weather's almost right for this.  I don't know why the weather matters, but it does.



If it doesn't post...

.... Because I'm not modifying this to get it to work.

How long have you been doing this? 

[Bob]

(You should know.)

Past couple weeks.  If I hit modify sometimes the update, for anything, doesn't stick.  I get an error message.  The links I messed around with a bit, searching for "the" link, but...  That gets old.  I've given up.  I tried removing the https, tried finding the regular link (vs. the playlist link), and tried the sharing link on youtube.  It's too much to work for no result.

Re: the weather.  If you're me from the future, you should be aware of that.  I don't know why.  That's just how it is.  Same with Chopin and the iron bars, as you would know.

What was it I did there? 


I could just click quote I suppose....  But what is it I'm doing wrong lately?

[Bob]

Add to this post that I accidentally wiped out the original post here.... I'm losing it.  I suppose that could explain why the future me/jmenz might not have any memories of my present time....

[j_menz]

You used the [ img ][ /img ] tags instead of the [ youtube ][ /youtube ] ones.

Nope. It took years of therapy and a visit from the Men in Black.

[Bob]

All right.  What about this one?

That's youtube/youtube....

[Bob]

That really wouldn't surprise me.  What year is that happening?  (If it doesn't screw up a timelines if I ask.)  2029 I'm guessing?

It's the abbreviated URL - it needs to be the full one, so...

gives, once you delete the "s" in https://

It screws up the timelines, and I am forbidden to tell.

[Bob]

Fine.  That's why I've got a date calendar anyway.  I already don't know what's going on with that.  Probably won't be much different if my memory's wiped.  Easier actually, to not have cart around extra thoughts like that. 

It does kind of make me wonder if someone botched up something with the singularity though.  I wouldn't go first for that for sure.  That would be my luck too.  You don't even know what you're missing out on then I guess.  Probably good for something things I suppose.

[j_menz]

Probably good for something things I suppose.

My sanity, foremost.

[Bob]

I figured it must be some mechanism like that.

[Bob]

Class.  










   Original question:  What does this piece lack? Heavy on cheese though.


It's a whole CD... Haha.  Makes sense.  Just not quite believing what I'm finding here.

Complete with a harpsichord thrown in?  Yes... class.  Haha.    Early music purists will go nuts over that outrage.
