Prokofiev: "Visions fugitives", opus 22, no. 9 and 14

[Piarajeno]

be careful with your technique in no. 14. i have played this for comps too. perhaps a bit faster too to capture the real sense of tenacity. good playing however :)

[JJKjaer]

@Piarajeno Yeah it is/was easy to get a bit to tense with these repetitions!

[totowongkt]

I think your shoulder is slightly tensed when playing 14...

Relax and it would be great ^^

wow that was lovely!! i think that no9 played at that speed brings out a mysterious quality that you dont hear if its played at the 'normal' fast tempo.

Ja, det går sådan rimeligt.Skal du være med til Steinwaykonkurrencen i år?Iøvrigt gik det da meget godt med oktavetuden.

[coaster1000]

Du er Jacob, ikke? Jeg er Gustav fra Kolding.... Jeg var der også til koncerten med Martin Lysholm (der hvor du også spillede suggestion og chopin oktavetuden....)

[JJKjaer]

Jo:-) Nårh ja. Der gik det ikke så godt. Jeg var ikke helt varm, da jeg skulle spille oktavetüden... Går det godt med Liszt-Paganinni etüden?

thanks for giving me more reason to like prokofiev! im still relatively new to the world of "classical" music.

what kind of name is visions fugitives anyway?

[JJKjaer]

Visions Fugitives originally means "fleeting visions". Prokofiev based those twenty character-pieces on a poem written by the Russian poet Konstantin Balmont. The name was taken from the following line of poetry by Balmont: "In every fugitive vision I see worlds, full of the changing play of rainbow hues..."

[ssprokofiev]

No. 14 is excellent, but No. 9 is a bit too slow. Still, the overall impression is good.

[JJKjaer]

Thank you:-) I agree that no. 9 is a bit slow. But if I played it faster, it would be hard for me to control my sound.

[udrottopo48]

Congratulations, in my opinion also no. 9 is perfect. I agree with you that faster might compromise the effect. Very good job!
