RE: So how should bravura sections be treated?

Posted by ahendler on March 22, 2016 at 08:43:32:
When the bravura section is played as an independent piece of music it is wrong. She uses these passages to show off her technique, not to show us the music. The various removes show us that I am not alone in the way I feel. The Listz is one piece of music, not 6 individual pieces but that is how she plays it. Yes her playing can be exciting but it doesn't make me want to listen again to discover what insites she has about the music. Richter once said of Horowitz "Large hands, small brain" When she learns to control her technique she will become an outstanding artist. At the end of one of her performances we should be talking about the music, not her technique. That is what I mean by paying attention to structure.
