Bartok: String Quartet No.2, 2nd Movement (Solo Piano Reduction)

[@ethanmiller5223]

Bartok quartets are very based

[@skylarlimex]

Insane technique and musicality. I hope to see more transcribed string quartets for piano on your channel, we're in desperate need for them!

[@sf4h7]

Best introduction to Bartók. Now I have to listen to him

[@erybotond]

Finally, the greatest composer.

[@Willow_Ramsay_Music]

Absolutely amazing, Bartók is one of my all-time favourite composers, and this movement is one of his best, and you have transcribed it amazingly well. Bravo.

[@bransiubao]

wtf. like seriously wtf (I have no words for this. It's unbeilevable. bravo)

[@Makenor13]

I'm sorry my man, how the HECK are you able to play at such a high level, plus transcribe stuff, while working a full time job as a software engineer?? 😮 How did it take you only "about a month on and off" to make the score of this, learn it and record it while also having a friggin full time job???? That's way beyond impressive. I'm speechless 😮

[@Musicforever60]

Everything's just a matter of perspective: work on one skill, work on another, focus on depth rather than breadth, stick to what I truly believe in, make my own path, build up my greatest strengths, etc. Where I am seems far-fetched, but it's discipline and knowing what I want in life that made me who I am today. But also, I've pushed myself in unbelievable ways to get where I am, e.g. recording the most accurate rendition of Sorabji's Opus Clavicembalisticum to date.

[@River_MingleOWO]

Wow, so this is what you have been mentioning in the community post. It really is on a different level 👏👏👏👏👏

[@j.thomas1420]

Very interesting, thanks a lot for sharing your transcription, very nice playing too

[@Greenbug110]

Splendid work!!

[@ollisaari8722]

Just - wow! Amazing work.

[@dogwithabome630]

sounds wild my god

[@KeithWhalen11]

Amazing playing! I’d love to see you play the finale from Adigezalov’s 3rd concerto (or maybe just the cadenza).

[@PM_ME_MESSIAEN_PICS]

ooh i especially love this piece, the difficulty of this concerto just makes it seem like everyone and their dog from the USSR can play Bartok's second piano concerto

[@AlbertoSegovia.]

Excellent,

[@Sincebrassnorstone]

I couldn't stop watching!🎉❤

[@pianista-mediocre]

I never imagined this on the piano

[@RichardASalisbury1]

Again, Bravo! To refer to the 2 Prokoviev transcriptions I just listened to, they are much more lyrical, easier to listen to. Makes me realize more clearly that what I listen for in most of Bartok's music--at least before the Divertimento and the (2nd) Violin Concerto--is not lyrical beauty, but daring, strangeness, originality, and probably something else I can't put a name to. From this standpoint, the Prokoviev SQ transcriptions are easier to listen to than this Bartok. I'll be checking out your website. And--if it's your thing--I hope you'll share some compositions of your own.

[@KaikhosruShapurjiMedtner]

Wonderful.

[@vrixphillips]

whoa metal indeed :O

[@joshscores3360]

3:53 ummm thats alto clef

[@Musicforever60]

nice catch

[@zekeyeager445]

wtf... damn man... bravo...

[@peterkovacs9951]

the average comp sci major at home:

[@marcosmesquita5193]

bravo!

[@securigeravaria6061]

Impressive!

[@JohnBicknell]

Bravissimo! We hear a number of orchestral works and occasionally the great opera Duke Bluebeard's Castle, but not enough of other music. People still find Bartok's music disturbing and too modern. I think it not much more modern than the finale of Chopin's B Minor Sonata.

[@leecherlarry]

did eric record all of OC or all of OA? anything like it coming?

[@prepcoin_nl4362]

When is the Feldman Second String Quartet transcription?

[@Musicforever60]

When the piano gets a crescendo and decrescendo DLC upgrade for held notes

[@prepcoin_nl4362]

@@Musicforever60 Obviously, we're both memeing here. But I'm still a little surprised: You don't strike me as a Feldman fan at all.

[@noobyoshi]

Would you consider a recital tour? (I’m not an agent, but it would be great to hear in person)

[@Musicforever60]

maybe

[@seheyt]

Absolute madness again. This is way too "modern" for my ears to immediately spot discrepancies. I have still detected at least the one: 3:52 the dolce viola bar should be b-a (written) instead of c-b (played). Perhaps it's the case of different editions, or there was a mistake during transcription. I somewhat expect the `b-a` more but maybe if I listened to a quartet performance I'd get the appeal of the minor seventh (it couldn't feasibly use the open A string because that would imply crossing two strings inaudibly by the way but I digress)

[@seheyt]

Please do post the first movement as well! "it's not as exciting" is not really the benchmark for listeners. Thank you!

[@Medtszkowski]

Bro will you shut up

[@exequielchuaqui5968]

Do you sight read the four staves? Or do you transcribe it

[@seheyt]

"Unlike the Prokofiev string quartet transcription I posted last week, I made an actual piano-transcribed score for this because it's far too fast to be reading off the original string quartet score. However, I will not be distributing it for a some period of time but may post some sneek-peeks as community posts on this channel. Also, unlike as well, I omitted a lot more notes for this transcription than the Prokofiev for playability, but I was clever about it obviously and ensured that overtones compensated for missing notes and textures were not too thinned by missing notes"

[@seheyt]

"If you thought this was brilliant, there's going to be more to come!" - 😨😱

[@j.thomas1420]

Come on. Just come on. Of course he did transcribe it, work a lot on it on the clavier and only them record the thing.

[@seheyt]

@@j.thomas1420 erm, he doesn't for e.g. the prokofiev he posted recently

[@j.thomas1420]

@@seheyt I'm not buying it. I mean, Bach improvising 4 voices fuga, Liszt sightreading Grieg concerto... But _that_ would be just another level.

[@EggMCMUFFIN-e4l]

Beautifully ugly♥️
