  • Diane Bitch plays another one way too fast.

  • I love her interpretation. It makes it so feisty and fiery!

  • Never heard this played so fast. Arpeggios lost in the acoustic.

  • The musician, as a performer, can play the piece in order to express his feelings about the piece itself. But this not mean you can play a Marche Funebre in major mode in order to make the piece "brighter". There are a lot of french classical toccatas, and she, as a composer, maybe can write down a toccata herself (it's only a lot of arpeggiato!), and let the preludes being preludes.

  • Not a toccata

    Far too fast

    Pauvre Pierné, pardonne nous

  • Inherited from Liberace perhaps.

  • This is not a song!

    songs are to be ...sung!

  • I don't think the relatively dry acoustic of Coral Ridge would stand a dignified tempo as well as the massively resonant Gothic Churches in France.

  • I absolutely LOVE this as a toccata! I don't think it ever matters what the score says to do. If your the musician, you do as you please to make the piece reflect You. I've found the Sheet music for this, and am working on playing it like Ms. Bish. :)
