What a treat to go to YouTube and find the music of Dussek, and so beautifully played. Thank you! By the way, that galabeyah looks very comfy. I bought one when I was in Egypt, but my sister-in-law threw it in the wash and shrank it :(
No way to treat that nice Egyptian cotton. Maybe you should throw your sister-in-law in the wash and shrink HER! Only kidding... I'm sure she meant well. Actually it's the hot drying that really does it. We have many Near Eastern clothes stores here in Brooklyn, so we don't have to travel far for those comfy clothes, "al hamdulillah"! Glad to meet a fellow Dussek-o-phile.
Thanks lego! I'm wearing what I sometimes wear around the house - an Arab robe. I got used to them during my travels in the East. I suppose I always had a tendency to "go native".
Some do make a connection; some say Dussek influenced the Pathetique with his Sonata (in c minor!) op 35#3, which you have heard on YouTube. Personally, I wouldn't ascribe too much significance to direct influence. Dussek certainly did, however, break much new ground... and went way beyond Beethoven harmonically. D's stress of motivic material is similar to B's. You can hear it in this Rondo, esp. the descending stepwise motive, which appears throughout in many ways.
when did Dussek write this piece???

It was published in 1800.He most likely wrote it either that year or 1799.

Haha! Maybe it's the EXACT same piece? F. Marvin has a nice recording, closest to my conception but, inevitably, we play it differently.

Beautiful interpretation, as always. Heartfelt, with delicious nuances. Your technique is a pleasure to watch, as well. But...
just what is that you're wearing?

Thanks again for sending James!
Now is it a coincidence that Ludwig van B. also wrote a sonata "Les Adieux" in E flat major about 10 years later?
