Mozart Rondo Alla Turca (Piano + Percussion)
Cristina Altamura - piano
Adam Sliwinski - finger cymbals inside the piano
As part of their show "Fellini's Musical Circus," Adam and Cristina put a new yet very old twist on Mozart's famous march. In the 1700's and 1800's, pianos and harpsichords were often manufactured with a fourth pedal called a "Janissary" pedal, named after the musical corps in the Ottoman military. Most percussion in the modern symphony orchestra comes from these Turkish origins, especially in the music of Viennese composers who lived right across the river from the Ottomans.
In the 20th century, composers like John Cage revisited making percussion sounds inside the piano with his prepared piano. This more chaotic ...

Girolamo Frescobaldi: Toccata Prima, 1637

Recorded November 7, 2020 Lawrence, NJ by Joseph Branciforte The bitKlavier is a digital instrument created by Dan Trueman (bitklavier.com). The flexibility of a digital instrument allows the performer to experiment with different ways of tuning. For this recording, I used a lute harpsichord sound library (also known as the lautenwerk), and the "quarter comma meantone" system of tuning that was...

Girolamo Frescobaldi - Toccata Prima (Libro Primo)
Просмотров 2404 года назад
Over the past few years I have kept coming back to this Frescobaldi piece, and each time I find new things to do with color and timing. The early Italian Baroque has an improvisatory freshness and ornamental flourish which connects me with my ancestry. The music vibrates, and I’m looking forward to recording it again on Dan Trueman 's BitKlavier in the tuning of Frescobaldi’s time. A quick shou...

Cristina performs Dan Trueman's "Inside Out" for Bitklavier
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.5 лет назад
This past year, I premiered some of Dan Trueman's new preludes for the BitKlavier. This one, called "Inside Out," was so much fun to film! Although the motion in the hands is constant, the composition only reveals layers gradually. All of the settings are triggered in real time by the pianist's performance. If you are curious about the bitklavier, check it out here: bitklavier.com/ Thanks to Fo...

Cristina discusses the Bach and Peterson etudes
Просмотров 3278 лет назад
"I paired J.S. Bach's Prelude in D Major with the Petersen exercise (linked below) because they contain strikingly similar ideas. Although each piece seems to be showing off the individual fingers of the right hand, both composers group passages to flow from thumb to pinky. In my playing there's a way in which this rapid passagework is assisted by a circular motion. The swinging pendulum propel...
