  • Why are there so many dislikes?

  • This is very precise, the second best to Horowitz

    I like the one in 0:51 which is different from the original

    The ending is blind, I didn't realize it's already the end

    Overall, wonderful

  • i'm changing my mind about technic

  • Someone should do variations on John Cage's 4'33". Maybe like 2'17" or 1"511"

  • @KearneyPiano That's funny! Gotta make sure the guests are still awake by then, too.

  • @kuckorama when playing an encore you want to give the audience sweets, not another course!

  • @MrStrav81 That's an excellent point and I stand more than a little corrected. It would be wonderful if they chose pieces that have some deeper personal meaning in their life; I just wonder if the Carmen variations are possibly that piece. I know I would be pretty damned proud if I could pull it off properly. However, if I were going to choose encores of my own, I'd start with Liszt's Valse oubille no. 1 (played at my friends wedding), a Chopin mazurka and maybe something by Scarlatti.

  • @kuckorama

    If on a season a disproportionate number of pianists programmed the Liszt Sonata, that would be no better. Encores likewise aren't special if everyone is playing the same ones. It needs to be a very personal selection that suits the moment or how the artist feels that season. I become suspect of whether that is happening when everyone is playing the same one.

    On a side note, I wonder how many of these pianists have actually seen the opera Carmen.
