I have heard the Busoni Toccata for the first time years ago played by Alfred Brendel live in concert, an interesting and an immense technical challenge for every pianist.
I'm not familiar with this piece, and you certainly made a *most* convincing case for it. Intriguing harmonies, and your performance has a delicious palette of tonal color. Based on your excellent performance, this Toccata is a piece I would really want to learn!
This is my favourite of all piano music by Busoni. It is strange, ambiguous, colourful, magical. By the way, performance of Tanski is really good. First Prelude section and the last Fugue is just impressive.
Also you are wrong if you believed that I listened to it...!!! In 30 seconds I could take already many conclusions! Pianists should play as profesionals.
It's Friday night and I'm watching my favourite videos with my best friend over a glass of wine. You are writing mean comments and giving others thumbs down, curing your self-inferiority complex. Which one of us is the looser?
Upload your works, we'll see how good you are. Or are you just a frustrated Mr.Nobody? Your comments indicate so. Now go to bed and stop annoying us with your jejune pseudo-knowledgeable comments.
Well Mr Tanski or "dodohier", as you prefer...if you think that I am not qualified to ask that question,then you are totally wrong.What is out of my powers of comprehension is not this piece to be honest,it is how your arrogance can blind you so much.If you believe that you are a good musician or pianist,the one who is wrong is you.I am not only qualified,but I am also a much better musician than you will be probably in your whole life!
untelentedclaudius: I wrote that you are not a 44 year old Phillipino. In fact you are a Spanish pianist, who 4 years ago asked me to give advice.I gave you lessons without fee, tried to do my best,but I told you,that you have to work hard before you express :"I will play in Carnegie Hall"(your words).After the last lesson,you followed me into the garage of the Moz. and it was a
serious situation.I see,you haven´t made progress."Prima la musica, doppo le parole"Work!
It is very easy to understand - he can bring joy with his music, and that is the main quality I would like in a person who teaches it. And Mr. Tanski's performance definitely brings a lot of wonderful feelings, while you even may be a much better musician and bring just repulse... The world is full of ugliness, why you augment it instead of following Mr. Tanski's example and make people happy? Can you do that?
John Ogdon's performance makes so much more sense to me. But, Busoni's own markings in the introduction don't make sense to me... why staccatissimo? Ogdon plays it with pedal and I think it sounds infinitely better. In any case, it is one of my favorite pieces of all time.
Seriously, though... i really liked the wonderful contrast in the 2nd movement. I usually just listen to the dazzling 1st movement of this piece and move on, but you have made the fantasia really interesting. Particularly the dynamics around 3:20 or so.
Great!

Busoni was the MASTER. Sounds like some intriguing bitonal arpeggios used in the opening.

If you want to know what the piece is about, familiarity with Busoni's opera Doktor Faust will help!

Best performance of this masterpiece I have ever heard. If you don't get this- just listen to Richard Kastle or Maksim instead!
