Excellent pre Beethovenian concerto that would certainly thrill and capture audience in a concert hall: I think it's way better than #1 & 2 and - yes - certainly thought directly for the hammerklavier and would not sound good an harpsichord. OK, a fortepiano would be good as well and probably even better than a modern piano, at least in the 3rd movement (that I would personally play a bit slower, but it is just my gut feeling). Side note: I tried hard to find the Kreutzer concerto on YT but could not find it. You said someone came first but - weird to me - I could not find the upload. Or do you perhaps mean it has been recorded on CD? You made me curious because I just know a couple of good studies set from Kreutzer and a saxophone quartet.
Yeah, I thought about doing more tempo adjustments in the 3rd movement, like each variation would be its own tempo. Certainly I slowed it down considerably for the 7th. I may just have been rushing it because the piece is so long as it is. We could maybe add another 5 minutes by slowing down some of the variations. (At least the solo parts - the orchestra repeats the main theme after each of the solo parts for the first 5 variations, and that should probably stay consistent.) The Kreutzer is not on YT that I know of, but it is on the MuseScore site. Here's the first movement (of 4): musescore.com/user/32178370/scores/5574040 The rest are all there, as well as some other of his works. I personally loved the first movement of the concerto, and the finale is okay, but I did not care for the 2 middle movements at all. I suspect it may be a case of things the computer just can't do very well.
Thanks for listening. (I had to look up what that meant, I read it as "galling", but aside from the length there's nothing too difficult about this piece. That or something to do with strong winds, which makes even less sense. Took some searching to realize it's Filipino. Greetings to the Philippines.)
