This Week's Wim, season 1 episode 2
on: July 02, 2020, 10:39:51 AM
After last week's drama, I couldn't resist to post the next episode here too.

It's about the 5th Symphony, and how the historical facts are against Wim, yet again.

I hope you enjoy!

I like the video - currently listening to it now. I would just maybe work on how you deliver the content. Your information is great, but I'd try and just increase the flow of your information a little as it seems a bit stifled and this may put people off; despite how good the content is.

I'm following you though, so good on you.

I'M DOING MY BEST OKAY?!? 🤣

No, i know I'm as stiff as Wim's playing,  and I'm trying to fix it. I guess withba bit more experience. Thanks for the following!

Nice one. The debate is simple to win and you did a good job.

If Beethoven was written one thousands years ago and was only started to be played again today then I guess the debate would be more difficult. Though one only really has to notice that not one single year has gone by since Beethovens death where his works have not been peformed in public or studied thoroughly by exponents of music. Oddball type assumptions that we are totally wrong with tempo sorta makes me think those people treat music like a kind of giant "Chinese whipsers" game.

Believe me... I'm rooting for you over him. It's not too bad, but it will add to the conviction more. You've got very serious and important information to say, and the gusto you give it will convince non-believers.

Keep up the work - as I said, I'm on your side.

NO ONE is as stiff as his bloody playing - don't worry. There are corpses in the morgue that are more limber than his playing.

Thanks for your comments. His nonsense just spread to a group of piano teachers. Imagine if such crap would get traction.

That would be tragic to have pianists born without ears and a brain

Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music
The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.
