truly grateful to M. Somero for bringing so many of Bortkeiwicz's works to life! and this composer...truly an underrated gem! I wish more people would discover and appreciate his works.
@@Bruceykeys The time signature demonstrated by Somero's playing is not faithful to Bortkiewicz's instruction (of 7/8). Considering that this set 10 of pieces are etudes, this decision completely ruins the main point of this particular study.
I like Bortkiewicz's humorous etudes as much as as his deeply emotional ones! Yes I know that references to other composers' etudes -- conscious or not -- turn up sometimes in his. But his own breadth and voice in pianistic expression and technique more than compensate, in my view.
The performer plays the last three 8ths of each bar as triplets throughout the piece, transforming the irregular 7/8 time signature into 3/4. It's an odd choice, and quite disrespectful as it kills off the feature of the etude.
B. seems better when he uses the minor keys, where he can put passion, revolt, infinite sadness or simply strength. I really like the last study, very syncopated, the one in F sharp, so fluid. A certain resemblance to the Etude Tableau of the same key of Rach, in its final part. The study in G sharp is grandiose and passionate in its central part. I don't know how to qualify the first in E flat minor. The desolate side, so sad, full of disarray, of tears...is followed by a rather bizarre central part, half heroic, half rebellious that I find not very successful. The return to the initial theme seems to say that there is no longer any hope, barely a fading consolation. But that's just a personal feeling.

Very underrated composer

Thank You!😊
Thank you for commenting on my YT channel! I love your interpretation !
How I love the works of Sergei Bortkiewicz ! Thank you ! 🌷🌷🌷 (Netherlands)
In #4, he’s playing 3/4 with 4 eighths and a triplet of eighths instead of the 7/8 marked in the score.
I mean apart from that though did you enjoy them ?
I realized that too. Is quite a difference!
@@Bruceykeys could you enjoy a picture by van Gogh with a green sky, white ravens and red grain?

Vielen Dank für Ihre große Kunst

wow … this should be much more famous! i love it.
Concerning No.4 In A major: The last three 8ths are mistakenly performed as triplets? 7/8 time indicates seven 8th notes per measure.

Omg, number 8 is amazing

No 4 is amazing
Beautiful✨
Где можно взять ноты всех этих этюдов Борткевича ?
SUPER MUSIC !!!!!
Sounds like Czerny Op.740 etude 24 but with other harmony
A me piacciono molto gli autori classici.
Spare a thought for his fellow Ukrainians at a time like this 🙏
and yet… this composer in unknown to the world …
Number 8 sounds like a bolero 🤔
❤
Etude in A major is played wrong
Suona benissimo ma in quello in sette ottavi sbaglia il tempo
Треба уважніше подивитися на розмір в четвертому етюді. І чому дуоль в лівій, а не тріоль в правій
No Mix
Many, many wrong rhythms and wrong notes... Sorry to say that.
