the rabble.

Why do you mingle with the rabble, I wonder? 

[San Antone]

You're right; I retract my characterization.  Sorry, all.

[Florestan]

No problem. I had a second thought as well: WTC can indeed be reasonably taken as one in its entirety. I will not object to it anymore.

[Papy Oli]

Chopin - Ballade no. 1 op. 23
Beethoven - Piano Sonata No.4 Op.7

[Baron Scarpia]

It is impossible to draw any kind of demarkation line without something landing in a grey area.

[Florestan]

It is impossible to draw any kind or demarkation line without something landing in a grey area.

How about Scarlatti's 30 essercizi per gravicembalo? 

[Sammy]

No problem. I had a second thought as well: WTC can indeed be reasonably taken as one in its entirety. I will not object to it anymore.

Your objection had merit.  To me, there is no doubt that each Book is a complete work.  It's just that I always listen to both books in one sitting and think of them as one work.  None of this is written in concrete.

Wow! I listen to four preludes/fugues at a time.

[Sammy]

Wow! I listen to four preludes/fugues at a time.

My situation is that I keep wanting to hear more and more and more of them.  The WTC and I only get together when my wife is out of the house or asleep for the night.  Since she sleeps every night, I get plenty of WTC.

She sleeps every night and you don't? 

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

Boulez: Incises
Ligeti: Études  (Sammy, help me! Do all of these count as one work or should I choose a 'book' or a single Etude? I would pick Book I if I had to choose only one book)

[Sammy]

She sleeps every night and you don't? 

I sleep about 3 hours at a time - she's down for about 8 hours.

Go by the book.  Picking a single etude would not be reasonable in my view.

[North Star]

Mompou - Musica callada
Stevenson - Passacaglia on DSCH

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

Go by the book.  Picking a single etude would not be reasonable in my view.

Alright I choose Book I then.

[Crudblud]

Ligeti - Musica Ricercata
Berg - Piano Sonata

[Cato]

Dudes!  Whassup here?  Am I the first one to nominate...

Beethoven: Piano Sonata #32 Opus 111

and

Scriabin: Piano Sonata #9

   

[Baron Scarpia]

I sleep about 3 hours at a time - she's down for about 8 hours.

Oh, the music I would listen to if I could get by on 3 hours.

(Anxiously awaiting my next chance to vote.)
