your most recent/existing repertoire discovery

[diomedes]

Either something you knew existed but ignored and recently discovered as life changing.

Or never knew it existed and equally as life changing.

Rachmaninov - Corelli Variations
How'd I ignore that all these years.

Sabaneyev - Sonata (In memoriam of scriabin)
Reincarnation of Scriabin after his death. It even quotes the 8th sonata. Discovery of the year for me.

Mendelssohn Fantasy

[perprocrastinate]

The Goldberg Variations. I can't believe that I never listened (and paid attention) to a full performance of it before yesterday. My appreciation for Bach has grown over time, and not just because I force myself to play his music. Well, maybe a little, but I realize that his music is extremely well constructed, and it's such a satisfying feeling hearing it all come together in a colossal masterpiece.

I've been obsessed with the Romantics ever since I discovered classical music, and now I realize that great music doesn't have to be coated in agonizing emotion (or varying degrees thereof).

Tchaikovsky Dumka Op.59

[cabbynum]

Schumann Symphonic etudes. I never gave them a full listen until a few weeks ago. I had read through various variations but never looked at the whole thing or listened all the way through.

Also as always, the Symphonie Fantastique, I obsessively listen to that piece. Not really a recent discovery but I have to mention it as I have listened to it twice just today

I'm assuming you know of the Liszt transcription, but just in case.....

Have you considered the Liszt transcription of it? I remember being reasonably impressed by Idil Biret playing it years back.
The symphonic etudes are something i've always held in high regard. You might also find interest in the variations he did on the Beethoven 7th symphony.

Everything has its place. The darker turmoil of Rachmaninov has been getting to me lately, but every day i conclude with respectable beer and harpsichord music. Usually of the good French quality or slightly restless Froberger. But i have never spent an evening doing the Goldbergs. Despite having close to 20 recordings of them. Perhaps i should do that.

Good timing, sir. I got one of those while you made your post a reply has been made messages in red.

If you wanna talk obsessed I have 10 piano solo recordings of the Fantastique, I think there's just 1 left to collect. Also the Dover reprint of the old edition and the EMB New Liszt Edition score.
No, I haven't played it.

Actually in a related story, my latest music discovery has been Harold in Italy (usually in the Liszt piano+viola transcription.) As long as I've been into SF, I put this one off way too long.

Bolero and the pavane pour une infante défunte..

Chopin's Scherzo no. 2...

[ahinton]

"Exciting", surely, rather than "exiting"? I didn't detect any suggestion of such discoveries exiting from anywhere...

Best,

Given the state of the composers mentioned so far, I suspect the typo is actually for "exited".

Knew for a whole but only recently began to connect emotionally with the music.  Theire I listen and follow w the score  the more Rene draws me in

[diomedes]

Fixed, my apologies.

I did not actually! Thank you!

Mendelssohn Variations Serieuses
Chabriet La Idylle
Finzi Eclogue (for piano and orchestra)

[jockey]

 My most recent/existing repertoire discovery has to be Schubert Impromptus and Moments Musicaux for which I recently purchased a 2cd album, recorded by pianist Alfred Brendel. I also purchased a book containing the sheet music for two Impromptus and six Moments Musicaux.

My other favourite Schubert repertoire is a song entitled The Miller and the Brook which I discovered recently and listen to frequently on you-tube, played by pianist Valentina Lisista .

nerding out on this at the moment

Sorry, I made a mistake
