  • Then Joyce,It is the right of the musician to do whatever she wants,but I don't have to enjoy it.

    I'm perfectly prepared to enjoy broad reckless strokes in music that is,was composed or is improvised for such.Ignoring Chopin's ornamental detail is just as revisionist as ignoring Couperin's.

  • Dear Smith,

    What if the artist sees no point in all the gilded ornaments because he sees life differently? What if his life is bold, broad, reckless brush strokes?

  • Dear Erwin,No matter what we do we risk 'tragedy'.So then it comes down to the question of...how do we wish to live in the light of constant potential for tragedy.

  • If an ornament is in the blueprint it should receive it's due(1 way or the other)Imagine a palace wherein the architect had very lovingly decide to feature detailed crowns at the top of Corinthian arches that the builder decided to 'avoid the temptation of the smaller beauties' and simply broad brushed it into plain Doric columns and then congratulated himself and received the applause of others for having 'not gotten lost in the ornaments.'

  • In many ways this has the lavishness of psychology that Sofronitsky endows his Scriabin playing.

  • 1.This movement is truly performed with not only great improvisatory affect,but with a fabulous detailed brush capturing so much of the ornamental beauty of this rhetoric.There is so much surprise and revelation here that it's a wonder he didn't apply this to the first movement.

  • I never expect so Improvisatory from Neuhaus! :DD
