Throwing Paint
on: July 13, 2017, 01:48:37 PM
A mad, terribly fatigued scrambling energy expenditure timed checked at 12:30 AM at a time (2013 it appears) I would have still had an hour commute home. An hour commute on which to consider what it is I had just done.

You have some serious chops at the piano sir! I enjoyed it. It suddenly becomes more conventional harmonically around 5 minutes in, I don't hear you use those sorts of sounds terribly often.

Really nice! My favorite part is the portion around 7:00. It reminds me quite a bit of Bartok.

This is quite something!    ;D

I remember doing late evening practice sessions at the university and can relate.  Sometimes I would just keep on playing even though exhausted and facing a similar hour long commute.  Something about the solace in making music, rather than tackle the commute home. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
