  • I wouldn't have a look at score's markings at all. That's simply because interpretations should depend on the individual, not on what the score tells us :) Metronome is quite a bad invention anyways...

  • well... don't be too extreme! ;)

    Chopin's "markings" deserve to be looked at...

    I assure you Pugno payed full respect to Chopin's score before allowing himself to play "freely". This performance is based on deep knowledge, intuition and respect of author's intentions. BTW metronome is not such a bad thing for those who try to "express themselves" without being able to play 4 notes evenly! ;)

  • Is this from the new Marston transfer? Or the older APR set?

  • @Minchionstronz4 Anyone posting or seeking out Pugno recordings has heard Benedetti, a very good pianist, just not on the level with the older masters. I played violin before an accident and have limited interest in pianist compared to those uploading these recordings and I know Benedetti's playing. You are full of it.

  • Raoul Pugno is a free soul!

  • @alechorseman : I love that version. Such enthusiasm! Also, I love how Bettini introduces the cylinder with such pride!

  • I would like to know you found this record.

  • I'm preffered version played by Joseph PIZZARELLO (1898 record, Bettini cylinder).

  • It ruins it to an extent. If you base it only on music theory and stuff, it will be pointless, without any emotion. So you have to have some lack of structure, or it wont reflect your personality.

  • What a pity about quality of old record. And interpretation is unusual.
