Sounds like a program or something playing it...

[ungelbertpendo]

no program ive ever heard........certainly not sibelius anyway

[MarquisEstelle]

The fugal element is too choppy, common error. Perhaps it's intentional. The original composers often couldn't play what they wrote.

[ungelbertpendo]

you do realize this isnt me playing, its a famous professional pianst, which i didnt mention for copyright issues.

hello, I don't have technical knwoledge. My heart is driving! I I like this interpretation because my body is sweating when I hear it. Bye

[MichlPiano]

Maybe you should stop arguing and just enjoy the music :)

@MarquisEstelle Sorry buddy, your musical knowledge is out to lunch. This piece is no fugue, by any definition, nor is there even a hint of fugato. Albeniz would blow cigar smoke in your face and spank your butt for being so ignorant! The opening and closing sections of Leyenda (Asturias) qualify it as a Toccata...a "touch piece." There's a pretty good wikipedia article on Fugue that I suggest you read...though I wonder if you'll be able to understand it: search "fugue wikipedia"

@owencatterall2002 You studied music at university for three years, good for you. Me? Standard piano pedagogy of Thompson, Wagness, et al. starting at age five and for ten years with yearly recitals and other recitals at the state level, so there you go, I guess we both not a little about music. I take fugato to be two note relationships with one of them tonic and the other being a mimic or answer to the tonic, simplistic rather than formal. Music is prior to the definition.

@MarquisEstelle *ostinato (ran out of characters)

[owencatterall2002]

Pedal notes are not fugato, fugal or any other fugue term. Repetition does not equal fugue. Fugue does use repetition. Fugue derives form the term 'flight' in Latin and would refer initially to strict imitation. During the baroque period it became associated with the idea of counterpoint and building ideas around a recurring 'theme'. I looked at 3 defintions of fugue, just in case my 3 years studying music at university could have lead me wrong. Are you thinking of osinato?

[MarquisEstelle]

@owencatterall2002 The whole passage is fugato, revolving around the repeating note. Didn't say it was a fugue as that's a particular form, but this is all fugato playing because of the repeating note and the notes in apposition to it. Just look at the definition of fugue.

@MarquisEstelle Fugal? What's fugal about any of this?
