Leo Ornstein - Piano Sonata No. 8, SO 364
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2020
- Piano Sonata No. 8 is the last composition of the centenarian composer Leo Ornstein, who was born in the 1890s during the Romantic era and died in the 21st century. In his early life, he was ridiculed for being too progressive as a composer and performer, and late in life, he was ignored for being too conservative.
The eighth sonata is divided into three movements. The second movement is, in turn, divided into four vignettes of his boyhood memories. The first and third movements are largely atonal, while the second section is more or less tonal or modal. Throughout the sonata, familiar themes make cameo appearances. One can hear the faint echoes of many of his other pieces, including “A Morning in the Woods”, “Solitude”, “À la Chinoise”, and his 7th and 9th Waltzes.

Some textures are highly reminiscent of his 7th piano sonata, piano quintet and the 2nd violin sonata too!
h
How about 5th and 6th sonatas? also there)
@Felis Skalkotris Sorabjitus .
Ornstein was a composer who liked to heavily recycle motives, melodies, phrases etc.
You'll hear the same material in pretty much, if not all his sonatas and much of his music.
Sometimes it feels like his sonatas are just reconstructions of themselves.

Ok, I'm addicted to Ornstein now. WOW!
"Give it all you've got to the very end."
Quarter note = 69
What I wouldn't have done to meet this guy, seems like a genuinely good person from his interviews too.
"A Lament for a Lost Toy"... I feel that a lot. In the future, I thing such feelings will only get more intense for me. Maybe less often if I succeed in life, but surely I will miss the days before.
That is some freaking stupendous piano playing. I heartily congratulate Mr. Hamelin.
I always come back to this piece. One of the best pieces ever ! I think Ornstein is now my favourite american composer
What a unique musical language, thanks for the score video!
I feel like all of his pieces are interconnected, I hear parts of his pieces for flute and piano in here as well as those other fragments you have mentioned,
eitehr way, love to see a bit of Ornstein, he's criminally underrated in my opinion
the fact that hamelin plays this, while still making a few mistakes, is still insanely impressive
💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥love Ornstein's music.
Totally different another's pieces.
Very nice!
Thanks!
Blown away. Just incredible.
Beautiful
eargasmic fractal psychedelic experience of overwhelming sensory pleasure.

The score says "Give it all you've got to the very end".
@@themobiusfunction No joke, that’s the same advice my teacher gave me when I learned La Campenella coda XDD
@@stacia6678 Only except this is like way harder than La Camp lol

13:44 wonderful juxtaposition
ㅈㄴ좋네
27:41 indeed
First movement reminds me of Bartók
"Give it all you've got to the very end" 😅😅😂 Ornstein is like a barbarian at the 🎹
Funky!
omg
13:12
8:47 The rare Hamelin mistake
Also what he plays at 12:21 isn't what's in the score
@@ContraereaSerba I'll be honest I didn't spot it, what are you referring to?
Look at the first measure of the second line. There's a triplet and he plays a duplet instead.
Actually it's full of other mistakes, not that I care though, I could never play it as good as Hamelin
@@ContraereaSerba Good eye! I didn't even notice it at first.
Piano is percussion instrument

Rite of Spring piano transcription
Bass drum impression by slapping the strings with your hand. Piano literally *is* a percussion instrument… and a string instrument…
@@dzordzszs It’s on the same topic at least.. XD
Bartok
@@Whatismusic123 Ok
Opening reminds me of the opening moments of Rachmoninoff's 1st Piano Concerto. Ornsteins's compositions get tiresome to listen to. He didn't know how to build an architectually, emotionally satisfying musical experience. It's all bang, bang, bang. All too forced. Oh look, I'm so atonal sounding. Zzzzz.
