Giacinto Scelsi - Variazioni e Fuga for Piano (1940) [Score-Video]

[@Maksym.Ivanov.composer]

An excellent addition to Webern's variations as an aesthetic cross-section of the era.

[@jmiller1918]

Absolutely magnificent. Scelsi deserves to be better known here in the U.S.

Wonderful performance!

[@chrisl1414]

I find variations four and five pleasing, especially considering the angularity of the theme. Nine and fourteen are nice in an ethereal way too.

You’re right! Those variations are particularly pleasing. I really wish the 9th was longer. It’s so chattery and contrapuntal, but so smooth.
