@@Fakery thank you for your comment🙏 I’ll be posting more of this work soon. Glad you enjoy it.

@@eriksnip1243 Ik ben het ermee eens! Ik ben altijd gefascineerd geweest door hoe vindingrijk George Crumb was en hoe hij deze complexe partituren met de hand tekende. het leren van zijn muziek is een volledige, goed afgeronde opleiding! vergeef alstublieft eventuele grammaticale problemen, ik heb een vertaler gebruikt🙏

Hi Alexander, i wasnt sure which language to use, it appeared with a dutch titel. Thnx for the response. Friend of mine writes filmmusic with similar techniques and prepared piano's. Harry de Wit is his name. You a performer? Erik

@ interesting…all I see is “Crumb: Makrokosmos…” standard name with title in what would be Greek… it is the name of his cycles of Fantasie Pieces for Amplified Piano. Yes, I am a pianist, composer and pedagogue.

You are correct, it was in english. I am dutch born but lived in New Zealand for 22 years, my brain made this english appear dutch... I myself am a jazz pianist with a fascination for interesting sounds. Enjoy listening to and playing Dave Brubeck melodies. Love and health! Erik

@ that’s great! It is a unique language for sure…

@@PercivalBlakeney gratitude🙏

@@briandiltsmusic I appreciate your comment, this is a deceivingly difficult etude to play precise and with the “brillante” brilliance and projection as well as fast tempo. I’ve found going just below your threshold for tempo will help to center your rhythm and allow you to fly!

Well, there are plenty of birds for hire!

Crumb was a visionary composer. He asks us to understand the entire instrument, the physics, acoustic and qualities… not just how to fine-tune pushing the levers!

Thank you! It is a fantastic little puzzle, indeed.

I heard it while walking through hallways of mirrors in a dream.

I disagree... Gould plays it extremely fast, yet incredibly clear. It's just that for some people, it might be hard to hear and follow, the music is complex. It's Godlike to play at his speed - when trying, we mortals are the ones that produce a jumbled mess. But trying highlights the imperfections in our techniques.

@@arman2339 I play the piano and I am quite familiar with listening to polyphony, especially in Bach. A lot of Gould's early playing was "radical" and not so good. His later recording of the Goldberg Variations is pretty good. Also, he was a stupid pianist, so he edited a lot of his playing for recording. Much easier to be "god like" post editing. And yes, Gould did play remarkably clear voicing, however this particular variation was a mess.

@@DangerRussDayZ6533 Thanks for your view, it was interesting to read.

But his thrills and interpretation are very Gould, while not so fast 😅 How could you appraise this play while criticizing Gould

@@arman2339painful to read more like

Thank you Eyran. I appreciate your thoughtful comment. The music. It’s all for the music! Glad you enjoy my work, I’ll put up some new recordings soon. Many thanks and have a great day. Cheers. 🎶

Freut mich, danke!

Exactly as it should be. ☺️

Thank you Stephen! This piece is a lot of fun, tricky like a technical trail!💥⛰🎶🎹

Thank you Jeff! So much incredible vitality and rhythm in this music!!

Thank you! I love Gould but I do not ever intend to play “like” him (or anyone for that matter!) Must play as you play. With Gould, you get Gould. That works for many things but not Bach! Cheers.

Thank you Jim! Much appreciated. Cheers.

@@alexanderj.schwarzkopf2350 nice tempo!!
