I like the fact that some people are making a fuss out of a c or c# on a cadencial passage. he could even have burped outloud while doing the goddamn cadence, it would still be an incredible performance!
Whatever, Let's not forget that this is an *encore*, provided after several hours of heavy-duty playing, including the pounding conclusion of Prokofiev's 7th piano sonata.
One mistake in about a thousand or so notes? That is a pretty good batting average. Playing a piece on a piano when it was written for two keyboards? With crossing over his hands? And to make a piece written something like 300 years ago, sound fresh, like it was written yesterday? To find these gems and make them popular again?
@VivaTuttiMusica I like the C, maybe the mistake was intentional. I've known some who understand things to this level that tend to do that, don't want things too perfect because it creates some form of imbalance.
@VivaTuttiMusica It's a C# in the score and anyway an imperfect cadence in D minor, so it would sound wrong as an A minor chord as opposed to A major which is what he plays.
It's not a C# in the score, it's a C, that all. It's a mistake. And it's not an imperfect cadence, but a demi-cadence in D minor. Read the score and a theory book, and you see that I'm right.
@VivaTuttiMusica imperfect cadence = half cadence = demi cadence. Same thing. And anyway, look on IMSLP at Pieces de Clavecin, Book 3, first edition copy...C# in left hand. Case closed.
Hahaha !!! Imperfect cadence in french is a V - I with no fondamental chords, demi-cadence = we stay on V.
Perfect cadence = V - I with fondamental chord.
I read ALL editions in imslp, and ALL have the C, I don't see where you have imagine a C#??? And I am sure that in baroque music, we don't play D, C#, Bb and A on a demi-cadence... It's IMPOSSIBLE. Hear it !
So, now I can say that the case is closed. Don't worry, everybody can make a mistake.
is this from the madrid or the paris recital?

It speaks for sokolov's sense of timbre, that he can create a harpsichord-like tone on a piano with such ease.

The error is trifling, even if it irks a purist.

Good interpretation but he made a mistake : at 1'03, it's C to the left hand not C#.

@TheSingingCello
It is an error! That we like C or C#, that remains an error and it does not ring with C# because it is the Baroque music !
However, Sokolov remains a very big pianist, my preferred...
