Philip Glass - Etude No. 16 /

[@jonathanhall1823]

I think I have listened to most interpretations of this piece on the Internet, my favorite was Anton Batagov’s interpretation. I enjoyed almost every Glass’s Etude he played. But your interpretation of this one is better than his, sounds like there are more room to breath in it. It just brings me to a time and space different than Anton’s version does, although it’s the same piece 🙏🏻

I don’t remember how and what Anton interprets, I haven’t listened to his recording of etudes for a long time. But I have to admit, Batagov is my favorite interpreter of Glass's music. (and probably the only one) Although of course, I was extremely flattered to read this comment, haha! Thank you, Jonathan

@@coversart I’m very glad to know you also think such highly of him 😬

Love the interpretation, AND the speed, one can feel the music at this pace, thanks 🙏

Philip Glass gave the modern audience what they want, which is consistent volume and tempo suitable for intimate sounds between earphones or closed spaces, and hidden melody that can be singed along, it is an adaptation when musicians can no longer confine their audiences in one venue and have their inescapable attention. (Means in the old days, audiences have to go on the ride of volume, tempo and mood swings a live show can offer, but not for busy serial fragmental music listeners of the modernity, who wants to avoid adjusting volumes between piano music and pop, and distracted by the bi-polar swings of some classical pieces. ) While a lot say it is minimalism, I don’t think so. It has all elements of the attractions of other already proofed classical music, like tensional melody, subtle tempo change, narration with a climax, it is just that those elements are spreed into a slower time frame that are expected from previous piano sheets, and berried among atmosphere notes(yep, I think that is what those repetition notes are).

Muy lindo, muy triste, muy nostálgico. Me encantó la última nota sostenida hasta...

[@CarolineLockMusic]

Not a fan of this interpretation. Far too slow.

No one asked.

[@JonathanKandell]

I've noticed people take 16 really fast or really slow.

[@keybawd4023]

Since he studied these pieces with the composer and the composer liked his performances, your comment is a little out of place. Too slow for you perhaps but clearly not for Philip Glass!

maybe you like the interpretation of Maki Namekawa
