I’ll be moving tomorrow, so today and the next few days will be light on the posting as I unpack and recuperate. We experience sound in a three deminsional space. This should come as no surprise to those who pay attention to the sounds that enter our ears. This is in stark contrast with the capabilities of our eyes. When we are born, our visual-perceptions are terribly limited. Much of our ability to see in 3D-ness is […] The big collection is here for all the pianists out there. I know that many of my friends tear there hair out over these pieces. I posted videos of Glenn Gould playing some of these works along with the scores. Listen to him singing if you’ve never heard him play. Thank goodness it doesn’t bleed […] Beethoven wrote his Eighth Piano Sonata (Pathetique) in 1797 and it was published in 1799. The piece was written during what is considered his “early” period. The Pathetique sonata is technically considered to be in the “classical” era of music history but it has many romantic elements. Beethoven is well known for making the first […] These are the last ones. Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 25 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 26 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 27 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 28 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 29 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 30 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 31 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 32 Here are more parts! Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 17 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 18 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 19 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 20 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 21 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 22 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 23 Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 24 Here are piano sonatas from 9 to 16. This includes No. 14, the famous “Moonlight”. There is a nice, thorough analysis of that sonata here at The Classical Music Blog (unfortunately the page hasn’t been updated in over a year with new material). Beethoven’s “Moonlight sonata”, a name coined by German music critic Ludwig Rellstab […] Beethoven’s piano sonatas might be the greatest collection of piano literature ever witten. Even if it isn’t, it is in the pantheon of piano works along with Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier, Chopin’s Preludes and Etudes and the various sets of piano works Liszt wrote. In the following days I’ll upload all of the sonatas and […] A couple of posts ago I railed against John Cage for the condescension of his audience. In it I described that Cage’s composition failed because it wasn’t able to express his philosophical point without a didactic explanation. It was not the audience’s failure to comprehend. It succeeded in other ways, by drawing attention to our […] This work is great. Some of it is a little drawn out, like the second movement. But this is characteristic of Schubert sometimes, reusing material in a sectional fashion as a means to produce length. This sectional way of writing, much like in the Trout, reminds me of the way lieder or songs are written, […] |
