That's the speed Poulenc indicates in the score (half note = 138). I thought it's another one of those metronome markings that will live in Hammerkalvier infamy (which is also half note = 138 :) until I heard Poulenc's own version. Thanks for sharing
wonder if two overly-famous French sisters who are paid for their efforts have ever listened to Poulenc and his very personal t o n e production? no wood-pecking.....
They are Always!It s you used to metronome machine play of today ...we are lucky..If Only phonograph could be invented before to listen ti Chopin Liszt Schumann.... Remember that Neuhaus told Richter : you want me to give you a lesson on Rachmaninov pianoconcerto?...Oh please no!Buy his recordings and listen It until It Is copletely destroyed by use
@@pieroalessandrocassano8287 Ravel did not play his music well at all. Rachmaninoff thought Horowitz played his Third Concerto better than he himself did, though of course he also played his works at a very high level. And Poulenc does in fact make a mess of the second Novellette here , though the first is wonderfully played.
@@aaronlawrence5298 yes pianistically i agree but what Is written behind notes Only composer know.Horowitz plays the theme in a percussive way and in tempo not to talk about bad sound in basses...You know they asked Rachmaninov in 1936 ehi was the best pianist:"Hofmann After all Is the best pianist.. Horowitz recently has Got a Great name.He has astonished octaves .Someone think he will grow musically After his wedding (Toscanini daughter 's)but until now i didn t notice"That means that Rachmaninov considered Horowitz Only for his octaves and nothing more at least in 1936.
I believe to Composer...! Lights & sharply ,sparking playing.... BRAVO THE AUTHOR
@gullivior credo uno dei miei primi ascolti di musica classica appena iscritta sui social... TROIS NOVELLETTES su un blog di POESIA
So good the playing
Great to listen to the composer himself
❤
I've never heard the second one taken at such a blistering speed before. Sounds like he's even struggling a bit to keep up with himself.
Colin Rose totally agree I actually think it sounds worse than when it is played slower
Scary speed!
I like it at this speed. It's clear the composer intends the most rapid passages as splashes of colour not pecked-out pitches

This just proves that composers aren't always the best interpreters of their own music.....
What's wrong . This is very interesting about tempo and rubato

The No. 2: we don't understand anything, it's a mess ! The composer does not necessarily play well !
