@gerbss1 JULIAN CLEF IS THE GUY I WATCHED!!!!!!!!!! he is amzing i have never been concet lucky i got free tickets to it, i went with my uncle i am going to peform to the head of the junior school i mght play the pathetique. i am 14 and really want to go there aswell, i met the trustees and they gave me the tickets because they liked me
@Haamids That's great! Best of luck with the pathetique - I was about your age when I learned that too - and with studying @ RNCM as it looks like a great environment.
I was truly fortunate to be in Manchester that weekend since I live in the U.S. and was in the middle of a business trip. The other great performance I saw that weekend was Benjamin Powell playing Rzewski's Variations on The People United Will Never Be Defeated.
@gerbss1 i only saw ju;ian clef we could of been in the smae concert hall another song i am learning aswell as grades and hip hop pieces my friends ask me to play is rachmaninov opus 23 no 5 it's great. are u a pianist or a business man?
@Haamids I'm a business man in real life but a musician at heart, besides piano I also play timpani/percussion in orchestras a few times a year and sing in choir - it's pretty impressive that you're learning the rach prelude opus 23 #5, i know for sure i can't play that one! Didn't know hip hop could be played on piano, in the 'old' days my friends would ask me to play elton john songs.
@gerbss1 i have been playing for 6 months doing a concert in skwl and were inviting ppl from the rncm and the ticket money funds for me to get a digital piano at home because i dont have one, my head sed i deserved one i love piano i play clarinet a bit but i really want to just accelerate on piano till i become like a james rhodes, unlikely but a dream
@Haamids you've got a very good playlist after just 6 months, good luck with the concert - hope you can make a video and post it here, then another video from home with the new digi piano
@8jwong14 Go to imslp.org, find Charles Ives in the list of composers under 'I', you'll see Piano Sonata 2 'Concord', click on it, you'll the have links to the PDF sheet music files
I think nothing I have ever heard compare to the beauty of this movement. I love the whole sonata, but this movement is the definition of "lyrical" to me.
the first one is at 2:00, seems to be quoting Beethoven 5, as if its being played on an out of tune piano from the turn of the last century. Also, when the more lovely theme comes in later, Ives quotes the Lohengrin wedding march theme at 4:58.
This is such a nice piece, but why would he put in that loud, harsh part in at 2:35?

I agree, but he's also being playful here, quoting Beethoven
