@mamascarlatti Anyone who knows the score can tell if he hits the wrong note. You know: it's written.

@mamascarlatti You should look at the score before commenting. You would discover that your comment is a nonsense.

Hit a wrong note at 0:29

Seriously, would anybody notice if he hit a wrong note? Or a whole series of them?Are you going to tell me that even Xenakis would notice? Feels like the Emperor's new clothes to me.

Narration: This piece Herma was given its world premier performance by Yuji Takahashi in Tokyo in 1962.
Although he was a specialist in contemporary music, it was very hard for him to play this piece. When playing Herma in Paris, he cut his fingers by the keyboard and his nails were broken and peeled off.
Xenakis followed Socrates' motto "An unexamined life is not worth living."
He tried to torment himself. His uncompromising attitude taught Yuji that music is a struggle against something.

Both he and his sister Aki Takahashi play "Herma"; my impression is that Yuji makes it sound like a superhuman effort; Aki plays it as if it were simple.
