José Vianna da Motta (1868-1948): Liszt - Totentanz (1 of 2)

[marcxopoco]

This was supposed to be the piece that Siloti 'owned.'

In 1945 Da Motta was 77 years old.

I enjoyed from the first bar. and the fact that he was liszt's pupil - adds additional value and magic..thanx for sharing

ty very much....once again, a very dark piece in the tradition of musczorsky. You know I love the minor keys. The sounds of the record scratchinng lends itself to the antiuity of this piece. I loved the melodramatic "finger dragging down the keyboard". See What i mean eddy about times when people had much fewer distractions in life , and what comes of it?
