Kreisleriana
on: January 06, 2005, 08:32:02 PM
2 issues:

1st. anyone know what edition horowitz used? (cause i have paderewski and also a "erste ausgabe", and there are some small differences)

2nd. i have heard quite a lot of pianists playing this work, and i could feel in absolutely all of them horowitz's influence - actually i should say it's more than just a simple influence, everybody seems to try to reenact horowitz's version, and especially his inadvertences towards the score. WHY? 
(please don't get me wrong, i am a huge horowitz fan, but his recording of this work is definitely not one of his best. )

I believe Horowitz plays the original version.  There are 2 versions.  In the first the 2nd mvt lasts about 7 minutes.  In the 2nd, Schumann added some repeats and changed some transitions and it lasts about 10-11 minutes.  I find the original version is best suited to public performances...  You may want the discuss the whole thing with Koji... I hear he studied that piece quite a lot.

You say you don't like the Kreisleriana by Horowitz? I love it! There is no inadvertences towards the score!  :P  (unlike the Moussorgsky pictures)

i know this - i wasn't talking about these differences, there are, in 4 or 5 places, different notes in the editions i have (a instead of as, and so on).

i haven't heard mussorgski. but horowitz's kreisleriana... i'm sorry to say this, but i think he's very far from what schumann wrote (imo)

have you heard radu lupu? simply unbelievable!
