1. Nicely performed.

3. The station I listen to evenings plays music from the syndicated American Public Media.

Another rendition of this piece was broadcast, but the YT video opened with the audience clapping, clapping. So I looked for another one and this by Lugansky spoke to me.🤭

2. Bookmarked for later.

This has long been one of my favorites.

7. Open your scores to page 44 😎

Quiz.
Who noticed the clothespins on the music stands?



Real question: Did you post a solo version of this concerto earlier?

8. Heh...

How you mean by earlier?
Today, recently, looonnngg ago? 😄
Checking now for the pianist heard on the radio but decided against the video--audience clapping. Probly at the end also. That kinda sorta spoils the performance for me somewhat.

"Tine is but the stream I go a'fishing in" ... Thoreau.

A month or two back?

This?

Bright sound, but TBH, I haven't heard a Steinway for a long tine, and who knows about those acoustics?

I have a music minus one for this piece. Any notes I produce would be reduced in number by a large fraction. And with cuts.

9. The actual piece I listened to this evening was performed by Kirill Gerstein.

He's touted as quite accomplished.
But that audience clapping thing bums me out.
So I found Lugansky and shared.

Bucatini! 🥰

10. I wonder if Lugansky is available for some thang.🤔 😆
