  • I hope that didn't sound bad. I know the piece you played is notated and requires some skill to play.

  • It didn't sound bad. (Unlike some of the playing on this video). Quite frankly, I can sound "like Schnittke" when I improvise also. And yes, this is hard stuff to master, (and it has been 6 years now!), but I love it.

  • Well, not to be modest, but I could have done it better. Thank you.

  • How difficult do you find it to memorize a piece like this?

  • I never really measured it, so I would just say, not more difficult than memorizing any other piece. Actually, easier, than if I had to memorize something I had to play but wasn't interested in particularly.

    Why do you ask?

  • My God, how can a composer after Second W. War to write such music? ahahah. No Sorabji has more fantasy, and has however the privilege of excentricity. This seems a formal house-steward...may be was the Stalin effect? ahah

  • I actually appreciate the music. Being a pianist myself, albeit intermediate at best, I just kind of have to wonder about the process involved in memorizing a piece without a definite traditional-like structure or progression of notes or chord structure. I actually improvise a lot, and what I improvise can sound similar to the Schnitke in some ways mostly because I concentrate on presenting a mood or emotion and don't concentrate on notes very much.

  • Schnittke,the greatest composer of the 20th century...and a pianist well worthy of him. Thanks to you,both.
