This piece HAS no soul.

[ThomasLigre]

@jkovert why?

[KawhackitaRag]

Although I'm thankful four you uploading this version, complete with the score so we can all follow along, I'm rather disappointed by Alexei Lubimov's performance. Although technically it is correct, I do not hear the SOUL of the piece in this, although Lubimov is doubtlessly accomplishing a personal interpretation here.

@KawhackitaRag

I prefer Gilbert Kalish!

[davidleitman]

kind of interesting to hear the viola (?) come out of no where at around the 15min mark

[cuallito]

This is fscking crazy.

[jkovert]

@SnifferOfPuss69 Indeed. A lack of soul substitutes for soul.

[SnifferOfPuss69]

@jkovert Although I disagree with you, and can perceive some soul behind the music. If on the other hand, and you are correct, and this peice HAS no soul. Perhaps consider whether or not that was the intent?

Keep looking for performances until you find one that makes sense to you.

[privatecustomer]

Over the years of listening to many different performances the comprehensibilty of this piece rests in the hands of the pianist. I know there is no one way to play any music and sometimes within a rendition I'm not particularly liking there I find real gems. So - with that in mind there is much tonality here we just need to learn how to listen to it. Motives, paraphrased melodies, full blown melodies, this is a masterpiece of content. This is Ives' Emerson in music. Keep listening, 100s of x"s.

I can't really feel the direction of music when it is written in such a through-composed atonal style. I enjoy hearing the jarred rhythms and harmonies, but I sometimes feel personally that the music is not going anywhere (this is especially true in Sorabji's music.) But I do think this is awesome music.

@emopz13 xD in contemporary music the tempo often change bar after bar, depending on the rythm and the emotion of the melody... A composer can write the time signature every time the tempo changes or he can leave blank space, and the musician should study how the accents go through the melody, according to his interpretation of the piece.

Sorry for my English, I hope you can understand ;)

[emopz13]

@RufusLoacker Sorry! Where is the time signature?

[RufusLoacker]

@emopz13 Where is the question mark?
