@rebecca LAM @Victoria Macdonald That’s fantastic, I’m in with this sonata too! We’ll be having a little Pathétique corner here. 😊 I’ve also learned the whole sonata at various times,…

Re: Week 4: Share your Recording!
@Philippa I just so much love playing this on organ and thought it’s sadly almost unplayable on piano, despite many transcriptions (and some impressive recordings).…

Re: Week 4: Share your Recording!
@Noel Nguyen @Alexander Weymann Epic! Absolutely wonderful! Almost unbelievable! Congratulations! P.S. If that’s cognitive decline, Noel you mention, then may we all deteriorate so spectacularly.…

Re: Week 1: Choose your piece!
@Alexander Weymann Thank you! It’s a very interesting task there - the score asks to imitate flutes and horns. You search the sound and get completely addicted.…

Re: Week 1: Choose your piece!
Hi! Thanks a lot for the challenge! I have always loved and admired Liszt, especially as a teenager. Back then, I even read some of his biographies and was quite immersed.…

Re: Week 4: Share It
@Juan Carlos Olite I so much love your flow and deeply natural, authentic narration of this music!!!! Somehow, Chaconne in Busoni’s version has been excessively popular in concerts lately,…

Re: Week 4: Share It
I’m completely behind in everything piano. The last two weeks have been more than just busy. So, I probably will have nothing to share, but I had a great and interesting time working on my piece at…

Re: Week 3: Keep the Momentum
Scriabin op.9-2: My main problem is too much hesitation between phrase transitions. Sometimes it can be sold as rubato, but not in this amount. I’m working with my metronome and hope it will just…

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
@Ken Radford I agree with your teacher, however I would also advise to proceed gradually and not to rush the stretching part. I can easily reach a 10th and play five finger chords,…

Re: Week 1: A New Hope

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
@Doug I think Schumann suffered a lot indeed. I just got a new book by Christine Eichel — Clara. Well, poor Clara didn’t have it easy, to say the least, after their much struggled for wedding.…

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
I’m going to give new hope to Scriabin op.9 no.2 Nocturne. I learned it two years ago and played it halfway something. It was not good and with a lot of very bumpy rubato.…

Re: The Official Lisztomaniac Complete Transcendental Etudes Challenge!
@Maria I guess you can just skip playing upper F in the LH there. Play just the bass and jump to E to continue running. Nobody will notice it in the thick storm of the passage.
