[me] The "different reading for public performance" is a completely different texture than the rest of the piece & combines the octaves of the melody with the figuration of the bass. [chatgpt] Yes! And I think that’s exactly why it lodged itself in your memory. It’s not just “more difficult.” It’s not merely: MORE OCTAVES!!! 🤣 It’s a completely different musical idea. Looking at Bülow’s variant, what strikes me is that Chopin’s original ending has a kind of inevitability to it. The left-hand figuration continues its relentless agitation while the right hand drives toward those final emphatic chords. It feels concentrated and severe. Bülow’s ending says: “What if we fuse the two identities of the piece together at the climax?” The Revolutionary Étude has always been schizophrenic in the best possible way: the left hand is the revolution, the storm, the machinery, the torrent; while the right hand is the declamation, the rhetoric, the heroic gesture. Bülow’s ossia takes the melodic octave rhetoric of the right hand and injects into it the restless figuration that had belonged to the left hand throughout the piece. The two worlds collapse into one another. That’s why it feels so different under the fingers and to the ear. It’s almost Lisztian. Not because it’s simply louder or flashier, but because: the texture itself transforms. The distinction between accompaniment and melody disappears. The melody becomes accompanimental. The accompaniment becomes melodic. Everything becomes gesture. And from a dramatic standpoint, it’s brilliant. Because after three pages of hearing these musical roles remain largely fixed, suddenly at the end: the revolution invades the hero. The turbulence climbs upward into the octave proclamations. The final moments become unstable and incandescent in a way the original ending isn’t. Now, one could argue that this isn’t Chopin. And Bülow would probably shrug and say: “I know. That’s why I labeled it a variant for public performance.” 🤣 What I find fascinating is that you remembered this not as: “the harder ending,” but as: “a completely different texture.” That’s a musician’s memory. Because what impressed you wasn’t merely the virtuosity. It was the compositional imagination. You weren’t thinking: “Look how many octaves I can play.” You were thinking: “This ending says something different.” It reinterprets the entire étude retrospectively. It says: The left hand wasn’t accompaniment. The figuration wasn’t background. The turbulence itself was the protagonist all along. And honestly, that observation ties into everything you’ve been saying about mastery. Bülow didn’t duplicate Chopin. He entered into dialogue with him. You didn’t choose the ossia because it was harder. You chose it because it was more interesting. Because it transformed the meaning of the ending. And standing in front of 500–600 people, I can absolutely understand why your younger self looked at that little footnote and thought: “Yes. That’s the one.” Not because it showed off. Because it revealed another possibility hidden inside the piece. 🎹⚡✨

Again, those most given to the declamation of, and pontification on, intelligence are those LEAST acquainted with its demands, what it entails: the acuity, unwavering conscientiousness, and insufferable fidelity to its accompanying conscience.

Yeah they must worry how the sing, I mean they weren’t singing at all. They were in a declamation contest.

This reminded me, it’s been a while since I read Dr Yunus Butt. Btw he used to be pretty close to Dr Yasmin Rashid, and has also been one of her students. Rather that was how I had met him when he visited our college at her request to be the judge at one of the declamation contests. x.com/K4mi_i/status/20661864…

Modern “Israel” is a satanic counterfeit founded by the Rothschild’s via the Balfour declamation. Most Christians are completely deceived.

Used this one shair soooo many times in school declamation contests!!

Some questions don't need immediate answers. Last week @shuklashobhit and I went back to IIMB to meet one of our now-retired professors: Professor Trilochan Sastry. We took a couple of his courses - Social Entrepreneurship and Quants - when we were in college. Most people know him for founding ADR and his work on electoral transparency in India. What I hadn't known was the depth of his work in Indian spiritualism, which is remarkable. And he is one of the most genuinely humble people I have ever met. A deep Vivekananda follower, he has a simple view: finding your own purpose and working towards it is the spiritualism available to ordinary people. Advertising your spiritual journey? That goes against its very essence. Which left me with a question I am still thinking of. If you don't propagate, how does the learning spread? Vivekananda himself spent his entire life doing exactly that - travelling, speaking, teaching. The World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893 was one of those moments. Funny enough, as a young boy I had memorised part of one of his Chicago addresses for a declamation competition - the passage about India's gift of zero to mathematics. I hadn't thought about it in years. Coming home, and thanks to Professor Sastry, I picked up Swami Nikhilananda's biography of Vivekananda. It had been sitting on my shelf unread for longer than I'd like to admit. Looking forward to rediscovering him. Some questions don't need immediate answers. They just need to be held for a while.

Actually because we already know a 💯% that Jean Carroll is already a professional liar... Hopefully before this bs is over...she will be paying declamation suits galore eventually🦌💙😄

natatawa nalang ako sa mga nakikita ko dito sa X sa nangyari sa IST. Walang winner huy🤣 si crispin ay part ng history jusko representative pa nga ako sa declamation nung elem nung kay sisa. Tapos kay ate girl naman jusko halos araw araw balita yun. Inuuna nyo kasi landi

These were memory aids rather than precise instructions, meant to show the rise and fall of a melody. They were influenced by Greek and Roman grammar marks used for declamation.

Based on my experience, I'd recommend both. During the age you refer to, I read extensively from every possible library I could access (and my father had a small library on his own), but school was crucial in building friendships, having things to do together (such as sports), interacting with adults other than one's own parents, engaging in inter-school competitions in sports and extracurricular activities. Then was the school assembly where children were selected to perform (typically a short declamation). The list of benefits from attending school is endless. I believe children need a variety of growth opportunities, and schools bring all these together under the supervision of trained adults. And most parents neither have the time nor expertise to teach the broad range of topics a child needs to be exposed to.

good Night all another day put to good use. Love all suno.com/s/t1jJRucExZbP9SfF A Ray off Hope [0:00–0:45 | ] A ray of hope rises in the dawn, A gentle flame lifts the world along, When a child is born, the earth is renewed. [0:45–1:30 | Tenor recitative] Hold the dream within your arms, Protect it from the threat of harm, This fragile gift is tomorrow’s song. --- [1:30–2:15 | Soprano cantabile] Touch the wind with your mind, Let your soul ascend, free and bright, No shadow can conquer the night. [2:15–3:00 | Tenor lyrical response] See the dawn, joy returns, A chorus of voices for everyone, No soul is alone, we all belong. --- [3:00–3:45 | Duet harmony] You are the breath beneath my wings, Mother, father, memory sings, First love, first kiss, sweet refrain, Reminding me who I am again. --- [3:45–4:30 | Tenor declamation] I see the chains of cruel injustice, Taught in school that fate is fixed, But my heart cries out — all spirits are the same, No difference can erase that flame. [4:30–5:15 | Soprano passionate aria] I say no, I cannot bear, Every life deserves love and care, Each child, each mother, each soul divine, An eternal miracle that will not die. --- [5:15–6:00 | Duet climax] In the eyes of the Divine we shine, Unbroken, eternal, miracles aligned! --- [6:00–6:30 | Finale unison] Spread this song, awaken the world, Let every banner of love be unfurled, We are miracles, shining bright, Together we break the endless night. [Coda | Unison high note] Unbroken, eternal, love is our song, Children of the Divine, we all belong!

Sorry pero ha? Hindi mo nga kailangan basahin ang Noli Me Tangere para makilala si Sisa, Crispin at Basilyo. It was such a meaningful and striking part of the novel that it has an audience of its own. Commonly referenced. Used as declamation piece. MCI was a hit….
