I don't think they could be played better than this. Kocsis was to Bartok what Larrocha was to Albeniz and Granados. Untouchable, in a class all of their own. I wonder if Kocsis would have given us the benchmark recording of the Ligeti etudes had he been granted more time.

@mwsc0411 жыл бұрын
These are some really challenging studies, musically and technically biting and neurotic. I've always found them more fascinating than much of Bartok's other piano music. He wrote these in a transitional period of his career (along with The Miraculous Mandarin), and understood the limited appeal these would have to the general public. The older Paul Jacobs recording still resonates in my ear strongly, though the performance here is staggeringly good.

@PSNDemonwing i suppose thats the problem for casual listeners and music enthusiasts - if you dont know what youre listening for, it makes it difficult to appreciate beyond the 'for its time' rather than as an isolated piece of music, irrespective of genre. When you learn a piece by Bartok at the piano you start to hear things differently and it is so amazing. His music will live on for a reason, and its not to annoy those who live in the strictly diatonic world of harmony - he was a genius.

Really need to remember that this is not your typical 'Classical' music. This is from a much later period when composers were experimenting with many different ideas in music, from alternative scales such as whole tone scales, to harmony and dissonance, and even the idea of sonic textures and more. The early 20th century composers are often much harder for the general public to appreciate, in my opinion, due to the complexity of the music in general.

@Soytu198 жыл бұрын
+Nikos Tsakas Jr. Actually that's the reason why there are double sharps and flats in everymusic, not only in Bartok. The answer should be simply that Bartok is not truly atonal. Bartok was a very melodic musician for the XX century. And here there's melody too.
@Eorzat8 жыл бұрын
Not sure if you still need, or want, an answer, but it simply comes down to the chords used. For instance, if he wanted to use a C fully diminished seventh chord, the notes would be - C, E-Flat, G-Flat, B-double-flat. Now, in jazz, they don't use double flats or double sharps and, instead, will write the enharmonic equivalent being A in the example I gave. The advantage is that it's easier to read, but slightly harder to analyze.

I do think Robert Fripp and King Crimson is the definite enlargement, extension between something like Bartók and Metal (Black Sabbath to Metallica, and everything afterwards). They were all so seminal in their way of expression. But almost everything (excluding math metal and such) that has their vein in metal is a simplified output of what came before. So I do agree with you, metal has a lot in common with classical music, even if many a time it is a abridged and simplified. You could say that Black Sabbath, in their essence, is a much, much more abbreviated figuration of King Crimsons song "Pictures of a City" -- Well at least to my mind and ears

Sorabji is never unplayable. It’s just extremely hard; as Alistair Hinton, chairman of the Sorabji Archive would say, Jonathan Powell, Ian Pace, and the God like Hamelin have the capabilities to play anything by Sorabji but don’t always care to. For reference, Powell has performed the Sequentia Cyclica or Super Dies Irae Variations many times live and has a few recordings out iirc; the most complex piece ever that is still playable is (as J. Carey would argue) this “thing” of a piece: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6qbk5aaiL2qj5o Harder than the cacophony of Finnissy’s Country Tunes or History of Photography in Sound, Sorabji, Godovski, Szimanovski, or any of that; in terms of accuracy.

@@vnwa7390 that "thing" isn't really distant from Finnissy and or Fereynough (I probably spelled it wrong), but seems almost diatonic... Interesting. As for now the only composers that come near to Sorabji's level is the already mentioned Szymanowski (which can get really atrocious in the middle period pieces like the Op. 33 Etudes or the 3rd Piano Sonata). Roslavets' Sonatas (Hamelin defined him as Scriabin on acid), Reger's Piano Concerto and Leo Ornstein's 5th Sonata are extremely hard too, but are less hard than Szymanowski I think... A piece that people seem to forget when talking about transcendental-difficult pieces is Scriabin/Nementin's Mysterium, which has a solo piano part... It's basically a Scriabin piano sonata but it's 3 hours long, so as you can imagine, a total finger destroyer. Probably Messiaen is the closest to Sorabji's level in terms of complexity and difficulty. But of course we all know that Beethoven Moonlight Sonata 3rd mov the hardest.
