I’d sure go if I could!

Having had my life changed as a university student by a live recording from 1961 of Ralph Kirkpatrick playing an entire evening of modern music, well, now I guess I'm doing it.

Dear @NYTGames - ‘concomitant ‘ is a legitimate word!!! Spelling Bee is rejecting it…

Hé did the same kind of thing with the Brandenburgs. Inexplicable.
Why don’t we ever hear Max Reger’s piano duet version of Bach’s Orchestral Suites in concert? Because the primo (top) and secondo (bottom) parts are scored like this👇
Which would you rather play? 🤣

I’m so proud to be associated with @musicforfood and its guiding spirit Kim Kashkashian! Please come! I’ll be playing Shostakovich’s Viola Sonata and Fauré’s 2nd Piano Quartet. And proceeds go to @WLPBoston, an inspiring and essential shelter for homeless women.

The forms are usually traditional enough, but so distended in time as to make a proper projection of them, understandable to everyone, a very, very tall order.
Do you have any thoughts on his form (or lack of it, as some would hear it)? I can't tell if he's terrible with form or just using a completely different aesthetic wrt form compared to Chopin, Brahms, Scriabin, Schoenberg, etc.

There’s nothing wrong in being introduced to things while young, whatever they might be. This bio sentence is a little misleading (I didn’t write it myself). My dad and I usually discovered these things at the same time. For a long time the only Sorabji I knew was the MW pastiche
Feb 9
Did you know that one of the first sentences of your biography on wikipedia says that your father "introduced" you to Sorabji (among other "difficult" composers) while you were "still young"? I've always sort of wondered whether you actually consider that a formative experience.

I do like many of his shorter pieces, such as ‘Gulistan’.
Personally sorabji’s music works as a transitory sound space, the same way as ambience, but with more capacity to tune in and become an active listener. His nocturnes and free rhapsodic writing are what really draw me in

It seems to me that the IDEA of such huge works is much more attractive than the music itself. And if pianists are attracted to it only because it’s pianistically difficult, I think they’re on the wrong track. The audience is what matters foremost, not the performance… 2/2

I frankly don’t know how this young man could do this, but the fact remains that I don’t go for Sorabji’s longer works. Who wants to listen to 90-minute-long fugues? It’s important to remember that Sorabji needed to CREATE more than actually be performed. 1/2

J’aurais bien aimé pouvoir assister à un de ses concerts-maison…Je suis un grand fan de son Apocalypse de Jean.
Il m'aimait bien, j'adorais sa musique dont je lui avais dit qu'elle avait été la porte d'entrée d'un monde de sons nouveaux pour moi, grâce à un professeur de musique au collège, Claudette Bohn, à qui je dois tant...

What pure pleasure to play with the fabulous musicians of@orpheusnyc! Tonight is the first stop in our February tour - I play Liszt’s take on Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasy, and my own Passacaglia for piano and strings. What a gorgeous ensemble they are!

Marc-André Hamelin: the thrill of discovery. The self-effacing pianist Marc-André Hamelin is full of surprises as he chats with Michelle Assay about his fascinating new album, his work as a composer – and much more
