Alkan Chanson de la folle au bord de la mer

[ronde_des_sylphes]

Sheet music video. Alkan's vaguely famous prelude, a strange, other-worldly piece.

thanks, i enjoyed that, i normally don't care for his music but this is a very striking piece

Thanks, it is a most peculiar piece - perhaps the effect arises sonically from the unusual distance between the hands.
