Very well produced. My favorite version so far because of the performance obviously, but also the choice of piano and the sound captured fits the character of the piece so well. Those short punchy notes sounds so great on this piano.
thank you for this! I have shared it with students and co-teachers. this piece is so 'free' -- it really makes me think of current piano improvisers such as Matt Mitchell and Craig Taborn. Bravo.
Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear this is being shared. I’m glad you feel it sounds free, Elliott Carter wanted his music to sound as if it were being improvised. I don’t know those two names you mentioned but I’ll check them out!
@@written12 I think it’s all about the way Carter hides the beat. His rhythms are exact and specific, but if you’re listening to the piece without a score it sounds free because it’s nearly impossible to know where the beat is. Been listening to some Braxton lately!
Hi Chris, thank you for the performance, very interesting to read along as well. Do you have a scan of the score or do you know where I might be able to find one?
Don't remember exactly, I think maybe about two months to learn the notes and then more time polishing it. I was probably playing this piece for about six months before I recorded.
@@ericaeli3807 I’d been listening to it and at some point felt really struck by the section from bar 69 (3:05) to bar 82 (3:50). It sounds so free with shifting polyrhythms and the sense of space. I just felt intrigued, felt like I had to learn it. And I also like a challenge, I was craving something new. It’s fun to just dive into something different and challenging like this sometimes.
Why did you use this "old recording" effect in your video? It's a bit distracting. Great performance nonetheless and thank you very much for including the score
Always admiring musicians who can memorize these kind od music! Wow.....!
Thanks! Memorization is part of the learning process for me, I think I’d have a hard time learning a piece like this without memorizing it.
This is interesting and fun. Thank you.
this just became one of my favorite videos on youtube
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, it did remind me at times of players like Matthew Shipp or some of Anthony Braxton’s music. Improvised but very shapely

Thank you! Unfortunately I do not but it’s available to purchase online.
This piece is way too difficult! How much time did you spend learning it?
Don't remember exactly, I think maybe about two months to learn the notes and then more time polishing it. I was probably playing this piece for about six months before I recorded.
Wow. What motivated you to learn this?

He’s not wrong
