Let’s be honest. Op 27 no 2 is beautiful, but we all know that if you put it in front of a non musician(who doesn’t listen to Chopin nocturnes) vs op 9 no 2 it would probably lose 😭

It's impressively virtuosic, and well-performed. But I rarely find any Alkan that moves me. I know there are many that idolise him, and I would love to 'get it' - and get switched on to him, but I remain just impressed at the technique more than the music.

Alkan is a strange composer, in the modern day. You either have classical music enthusiasts who detest his music and/or existence, and then you have the Alkan cultists who think he is the greatest pianistic composer/performer of all time. I rarely find any people in the middle grounds like myself lol
@PrachtbartАй бұрын

@Varooooooom27 күн бұрын
I would consider myself pretty middle ground. There are some Alkan works that I consider some of the best classical music of its time and others that I consider to be some of the worst lol. I just don’t talk about that discrepancy/middle road very often.

To be fair, this can be said for quite a number of composers. Schoenberg, Britten, Feldman, and Delius just to mention a few. For Alkan, I definitely like some pieces but do think it's sometimes just virtuosity for it's own sake. His op. 63, the Esqusses, are quite good though.

His transcriptions are the amazing - given he was also a great conductor and likely conducted many/all of these symphonies - plus his virtuoso keyboard playing places him uniquely to translate these accurately. He is as close to the material and sonic clothing as possible
