I own a copy of the cd, and I have to take it off after only a couple of minutes. This is one of those fiddle players who insist they are playing perfect just intonation, but I'm sorry it's just out of tune. Drives me nuts; there's no talking to these guys, and I know a few. Also, nowhere in the score does Feldman indicate senza vibrato. A little sensuality would sell this.
Anyway, thank you John11inch for all you have contributed. It's a god send.
@allarmunumralla Can you clarify your meaning for me a little? Is it that the player is succeeding at their own aim of playing with just intonation, whereas you think they should be aiming for equal temperament? Unfortunately I haven't seen the score. Is the piano equally tempered? I can hear a big difference between the B's at 2:10 -- is that a notated difference, or is it rather an example of what you're talking about?
@BovineCat Yeah, I had to get ahold of a score to make sure I knew what I was talking about. There are no performance instructions. One thing you see in the score is (for example) a B sharp (!) in the violin against a C natural in the piano; no doubt our violinist was emphasizing this. Check out Aki Takahashi and Yasushi Toyoshima for a contrasting style of performance.
This is really good for doing things you don't want to do to since it's so long and you think you can do something you're putting so much conscious and subconscious effort into procrastinating on before this is over and suddenly that main subconscious barrier breaks. It also fits John Cage pretty well when you think about it, and you always have to think about John Cage.
