idk Guillom, you're playing sounds beautiful. You handled the Einojuhani Rautavaara - Narcissus without any issues. really enjoyed listening to this. I am a composer first and pianist 3rd or 4th... but seriously, thank you for sharing your talents. I appreciate all you do, and ALL other pianists in your league do... Far beyond my capabilities. I'm amazed at how quickly you can turn out a piece so beautiful and from the looks of things you've been bust uploading a ton of content. Thank you for sharing... it's all i have and mere words aren't enough!!!
@@GovernorBroadsideDS Second half of Narcissus really has very similar atmosphere to one in second movement of second piano concerto! Very flow-like poetico
I assume that the "ped III" pedal notation in the first bar is supposed to be for the sostenuto pedal, but i haven't seen that aywhere else and cant find anything online about it
Hardly! Rautavaara can certainly show a variety of textures, and some of them are rather like those that Ravel used. But Ravel used real harmony to support his melodies, and that gave you a feeling that you know where the music is going. This piece by Rautavaara is woefully short of that. So it gives you no sense of where the composer is taking the music. So the notes sound random, with the composed notes no more plausible than any others. That's not what I want in music.
Imagine if my channel had normal comment sections 🥴

not psoisble

Sounds extremely impressionistic, even for Rautavaara's standards
too coherent, bad comment 0/10
I agree. It reminds me of Debussy's preludes.
We need more stuff like this in the contemporary world.
Like what?
@@tailleferrestan like this
we already had Debussy and Ravel
Based Rautavaara

This is not a recording of mine, it's Alberto Nosè's!
69nd
But seriously though, great piece. Thanks for your work!
Reminds me of Piano Sonata No. 2, The Fire Sermon.
on second thought It reminds me more of the manhatten trilogy, mixed in with his 2nd piano concerto

Probably sostenuto yeah
Does any recording of his Mirroring (2014) exist?
I don't think so :(
Well done
Written 2001 and yet would hardly be out of place as a 6th piece of Ravel's Miroirs suite
