Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Some pieces should be heard as well as seen (my son included 4'33" in his degree recital along with Mozart and Ives).

Seriously, I recall a concert from the days of "happenings" when a bunch of chamber players wandered around the stage making various squawks and beeps. The climax of the piece was a musician climbing a stepladder and hitting a bell.

Then there was a piano concert by Zygmunt Krausz (I think that was his name) at the Cleveland Museum of Art. The only thing I remember is watching him wrap a teddy bear in a blanket and placing it gently inside the piano to end the recital.

The only composition I know of that actually sounds just as good on Forte piano - Analog Scott 22:40:08 04/23/21 (4)

Ha! Not a fan of the forte piano either, especially in operas, symphonies, violin concerti, string quartets, gamba - jdaniel@jps.net 08:11:25 04/24/21 (3)
