The level of hypervirtuosity and simultaneous sensitivity required for playing exceedingly difficult works by Szymanowski, Sorabji, Eckhardt-Gramatte, Godowsky, Henselt, Thalberg and Reger just never seems to stop amazing... This is a very fine performance. Thank you for posting this.
Szymanowsky is not a salon composer as so many of those you mentioned truly are . Thalberg 's studies are actually serious decent works . I was amazed to hear and see them here !
I DID lump them together rather haphazardly, probably because I don't have patience to spend time learning their piano music. We aging Boomers do become rather cantankerous 😂🤣😅
Just a "fun" fact - Heinrich Neuhaus attempted suicide after hearing the premiere, coz he realised he will never be pianist as good as Rubinstein nor as good a composer as Szymanowski was
@@dedikandrej There is also a comic relief right after that where Rubinstein and Szymanowsky got into a fight over a girl and stopped talking to each other for a whole year :)

Ahh another channel that gives info in the description. That’s cool to be able and learn about the pieces too. That’s got to be a lot of work also for each video just writing those up. Thanks it makes ur channel more…. better lol. I feel so far away from the composer’s,like this fellow here, and about every other polish composer as well, skill and ability to think about them notating things and doing all this orchestration and counter points and textures and getting if not exactly nearly what they intended when they come up with this insanely cool and interesting music. But I do know enough to make music, this stuff has been inspiring me more than any other style or genre of music or sound production I’ve heard in all my time so far. Hendrix and Page still provide a good deal of excitement however, those solos in voodoo child and Dazed and Confused wow. Hendrix’s playing was so dynamic with softs lows this and that it would seem he has an orchestra in his fingers and is how he gets such range and sound so he rarely if ever truely repeated himself, that’s my theory f why Hendrix is actually the greatest ever his dynamic playing that allowed him to nvr repeat things and run them into the ground even can Halen kinda did that, Page also. Not Hendrix of course there wasn’t as much time to see what could or would have been. Lol he’d never repeated him self! He done these thing intentionally like Karol here in his note placement and ideas.
After hearing the violin Myths i wanted to hear more of his piano music. Always loved the violin concerto but the 1st violin sonata(are there more) really interests me. Fell in love w this Sonata immediately!
No key signature: Ignore key, uses accidentals. Adds a key signature: Continues ignoring key. Based chad Szymanowski doesn't give a fuck about no key signatures.
Scriabin"s influence is visible. Nevertheless, here he harmony remains linked to the triadic classical chord, while Scriabin fades away through a systematic use of synthetic modes;
The structure is a bit like Beethoven’s 32nd Sonata and Prokofiev’s 2nd Symphony (whose structure was also influenced by the 32nd) - a first movement allegro and a second movement theme and variations.
@@orgue2999 Perhaps that applies to Reger's organ works, but not his more luxuriant orchestral works (see the Serenade, Ballet Suite, Four Arnold Böcklin Tone Poems, Consecration of the Night, Song of the Transfigured, The Nuns, the Romantic Suite ...)
I like his orchestral music much more. This gives just the impression of unrest and chaos. As most 20th century difficult piano pieces do. And this applies to traditional and atonal ones.
Interestingly enough, certain of the figurations in the fugue remind me of the fugue in Beethoven's op. 106, the Hammerklavier. Obviously, Szyamnowski's voiceleading is much more chromatic, but still, there are faint echoes, at least for me.
passionless and plodding. pianist doesn't have the mechanism to play this piece correctly. melodic and harmonic drama is totally ruined by the amateurish tempo. too expansive when it should be fast and violent.
