Someone: "Sorry, mr. Cowell, we couldn't get those timpanies you wanted for your song"
Cowell: slams his entire arm on the lowest notes "It's okay, I fiund a workaround"
the melodies are so beautiful, yet the baseline is so overwhelmingly terrifying. What you'd picture to feel if some guy was causing massive waves all around our fair and beautiful universe.
My friend just passed away. The first movement is so beautiful.
the sound of grief.
Only one listen and I'm in love. I've been a pianist most of my life and Cowell still manages to make me think of the instrument in a new way.
Thank you for posting the score to what is perhaps my most favorite piano piece. I am old-ish. My son is young-ish. He brought these things to my attention. Cowell lived just up the road from where I grew up. This is wonderful. Thank you.
Linda obra de Cowell, construída em cima de "clusters" de notas e inspirada numa lenda irlandesa da criação do Universo. Parabéns ao pianista Steffen pela brilhante interpretação.
Yay! You beat me to it, though, but thank you for doing this. :D
Fantastic ! Cowell a great composer of the twentieth century.
Certainly more of an acquired taste but still brilliant. Reminds me of the songs we had to sing in primary school, a bit. Also sounds like what I reckon Debussy would sound like if he never used arpeggios, and instead just played all the notes at one.
Oh I found something precious today. I love this.
I never heard anything like this. The first piece is wonderful. It reminds me of Liszt's legend in some way. The low notes used to conceive the idea of tides.
5:28 the lick
Interesting piece, amazingly played by Schleiermacher.
Astonishing. Thanks for sharing.
These are incredible!Thank you so much for uploading this.The bass notes make it seem like a storm is coming and the beautiful melody makes up for the stories told.Amazing.
Neuvěřitelná nádhera!
wow i need to see this being played
bagdarcan I have seen all three Irish legends played and I have even learned other pieces by Henry Cowell and I have to say it's not as hard as it looks. I have even written a couple of pieces in a similar style to Henry Cowell too.

Check out Fausto Bongelli's channel to see him playing many Cowell pieces
The Best recording for my opinion
Epic Irish legends
very beautiful and creative...
I really love these pieces, but i feel like my parents would kill me if i started smashing the keys of the Piano with my whole arms...
I think they would.
Tell them "it's great art, you philistines"
Thanks for sharing! Great composer
soo beautiful and evocative
I've read much about Cowell as a function of reading much about Ives. I hear here why anyone would make a fuss about him. This is interestingly pretty.
Amazing, hope you get loads of views.
This is intense and beautiful
I love Cowell; I loved him more after he was rejected by Ives on account of being an 'invert' [late 19th-century term for homosexuality]. Cowell did not need Ives, as he proved later on.
A common misconception about the Cowell-Ives friendship is that once Cowell was arrested for being homosexual (which doesn't seem likely all things given), is that Ives refused to ever communicate with Cowell again. In fact, it was Harmony Ives, Charles' wife who didn't want to get their name involved with the drama, and so she did not let him communicate with his old friend Cowell. If I do remember correctly, shortly after Cowell was released, the two picked up communication once more.
6:48 hellish hot cross buns
Awesome!
No conocía a este compositor ¡WoW!
still love it!!
Wow !
OMG! If he should live today....
Extra ! Cowell est un Ovni hélas trop méconnu
素晴らしい！
At 00:02, the instructions, how do you play the top symbol with your left hand when the right hand is playing the melody? I mean, you are supposed to press down 12 keys at the same time but you only have five fingers.
uh I think is with ur elbow
@@user-km4me8yh1z You can't press down those 12 keys with your elbow. You won't hit certain keys. Or is it supposed to be blurry and not exact?
@@Woodcut60 sorry not elbow but with your entire palm
@@user-km4me8yh1z but when i watch some live video in YT it seems that the pianists use elbow more than palm only
@@chiufranz palm for the 00:02 the 12 keys ones and elbow for the 2 octave ones in the middle of 1st and 2
I'd swear I hear MacDowell in this music.
UpAndOut Sea Pieces....?
Especially the first movement!
8:50 I think the F should stay sharp during the whole bar.
Awesome recording and opus nevertheless.
It sounds more like a Funeral March.
The man spent 3 years in a Californian prison on a victimless morals charge in 1936. It broke his spirit Charles Ives ditched him. This is how America treats its musical geniuses.
South Carolina tone clusters!!!??!!!???!
so you basically post atonal modernism ? love the unique composer variety GRAZIE
I wouldn't doubt they post atonal modernism, but this definitely isn't an example. This is extremely tonal :')
@@abraxasstone yeah was just about to say. also, _found you_
How does one play, in voice of lir, the passages at 8:49 and 9:46
ruclips.net/video/vLkg-duiFsE/видео.html
Jesus Cocaine play the cluster-part with your elbow and up to about half of your forearm and Play the single notes with a finger
Based
6:47
1:37
what means 15va?
Played two octaves (higher or lower) than the notes indicate.
Where there any Irish Modernists?
Im sorry to be so negative, Im listening to this and find it to be negative, however, I understand why many like this what many refer to as "ultra-modernist" style since it is very unique. Its just not my cup of tea :)
