THE Ultimate 75 minutes program

[presto agitato]

I bet no one in this planet could perform this program:

Bach - Busoni: Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

Alkan -  Le Festin d'Esope.

-----------Intermission--------------------

Beethoven - Liszt: Symphony num 9.

Do you agree?

[Rach3]

I didn't know Liszt transcribed the ninth... how very thoughtless of him. And no, I do not agree.

Here's a program no one could perform

strike A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 G6 as a chord ( no rolling) while playing descending chromatic thirds starting at the highest C

and to make it even more absurd they are 64th notes with a temp of 250 bpm

anyone who can play this is truly a master of the instrument

I did that yesterday -- very unmusical.

He transcribed all 9 of the LvB symphonies I believe. I've never heard any of them played though -- I'm quite interested actually. Can anyone recommend any recordings?

thoughtless of him?  how so?


Rock musicians do it to eachother all the time, so what, it means that they respect the composer/artist.

Gould recorded the 5th Symphony on Sony.  Dunno about any of the others.

I have another nice balanced program to contribute...


Beethoven                  Sonata No. 24 in F#, Op. 78

Chopin                       Nocturne in F, Op. 15 No. 1
                                Barcarolle in F#, Op. 60

Ravel                         Valses Nobles et Sentimentales

{INTERVAL}

Liszt                          Sonata in B minor

[Kassaa]

Howard (ofcourse ) recorded them all, as did Katsaris. Only heard the Howard though.

Now that's a good program!

[pianomann1984]

I'm glad you said that!  I'll be performing this programme in a recital that I am booked for in September/October 2006.  I think I'm getting the hang of this programming lark!

Isn't Op. 78 so much fun to play? I love this little gem! What a great piece to open with! Good luck with the Liszt sonata, by the way.
