Far too slow... The first movement is NOT a march...

[marcap1000]

@cheradinine8 You can just say you don't like it. A genius like Glenn cannot be bound to any scheme. His performances always deserve humble attention....That's just my opinion.

Lyrischer Teil beschreibt die unsichtbare Welt.

By the way: It´s more difficult to memorize Bach´s fugues than this.

[skinner35]

@Baxxbier Probably. And..?

@skinner35

It was meant as a response to MrAbadabas "to how does someone memorize something like this?



[skinner35]

@Baxxbier Ok, sorry. But, in each message there is the option to reply directly to whoever wrote it. Otherwise, it is out of square.

I'm learning this now, and I go back and forth between renditions. I'm torn between Horowitz 40s version and this one. Gould's last mov't is a little sluggish, but his 1st mov't seems to be the closest to what I imagine Serge's vision was...the super fast versions seems to sound more clowny than military. Anyway, I'm sure glad Im working on it!

a magnificent example of extremely musical playing without rhythmic distorsion Bravo Glenn

@chokibert i hope you're sarcastic

[pi6527]

@New4785689 I think he's not, and I agree with him.

[MrAbadabas]

how does someone memorize something like this????

[loboris1995]

@MrAbadabas This sonata was didicated to Richter who has to learn it by heart for the public performence in 4 days^^

[cheradinine8]

@loboris1995 No it was not dedicated to Richter... Richter premiered it, but was not the dedicatee... the 8th sonata was dedicated to Emil Gilels and the 9th was dedicated to Richter...

[rezmogm]

I prefer his later rendition
