    Everytime I hear Gymnopedie I picture slow and a bit somber kind of scenery but this rendition paints a more serene, sunlit day with the wind just right kind of mood lol if that makes sense...

    Qantas flight entertainment is currently offering Ray Chen's CD with this track. I listened to it repeatedly during a flight from Hong Kong to Brisbane, and now, a few hours later, on UA-cam.
    It is an extraordinary composition, one that leads the listener through many emotions, and these performers endow it with a vitality and purity that brought tears to my eyes. Satie would have loved it. Thank you Made in Berlin.

    I'm not familiar with this piece, so I'm not sure if the foot tapping is part of the score or not, but I love what it adds to this performance!

    • @luke3436
      @luke3436 4 роки тому +11

      Foot tapping is to keep the tempo balanced and playing at the correct speed. It's like a metronome, but using your foot as a beat to prevent rushing. Or its part of the movements.

    • @luke3436
      @luke3436 4 роки тому +1

      And yes, there is a chance that it could be part of the score, but over the many pieces I've seen, not one has foot tapping.

    Koncz's composition is a beautiful incorporation of cultures. The French theme is prevalent and true, the big octave chords are so brave and American, and I just love the quartal harmonies! If I could describe it in shorter words, I'd say that this was badass and cute :)
