More Classical Sonatas?
on: July 07, 2015, 03:59:45 AM
Hi,
I'm playing a Mozart or Haydn Sonata at a competition, and wanted to ask you what sonatas you liked best?

I cannot help wondering...Do you not have any preferences of your own when it comes to piano music? Would it not make more sense to pick pieces that you yourself feel worthy to learn and perform?

I really like all these sonatas, but I can't pick! Each has their own atvantage- some are shorter than others, some have a catchy 1st movement, some are really pretty.

I will not say anything but, "Please don't accuse me of being a fraud." Acually change of plans ;D And I don't think I'm spamming ::) I'm just asking honest questions. I think my topics are more useful than topics such as "Is Lang Lang good or not?" or "Lisitsa's Islamey", even though they are more engaging and catchy ::). Still, I have agreed to post less topics.

Civilized musicians let other decide what they want to hear. I'm not civilized, yet ;D, but I'm trying to become closer to "civilized". I mean, like, before Beethoven, musicians were almost exclusively servants. In the east, there were very few musicians. Most people played music, but none limited themselves to such a humiliating career(not my opinion, but I guess that's what oriental people thought back then?)

Then I don't care for civilized musicians at all! I want to hear people playing music they are passionate about and then make my own judgements on the value of the performance for me personally. I've never wanted anyhone to kiss my a** anyway ;)
