[Papy Oli]

[Florestan]

Albeniz - Suite "Iberia" (3)
Rachmaninoff - Etudex-Tableaux op. 39 (2)

[Cato]

Let's get The Rach into the game!


Rachmaninoff - Etudex-Tableaux op. 39 (3)

I am really surprised by the lack of Scriabin votes!

How about the work Vladimir Horowitz (according to notes to a recording) described as an atomic bomb? 


Scriabin: Vers la Flamme

[mc ukrneal]

Schubert Impromptus D899
Rachmaninov - Etudes-tableaux Op 39

[Madiel]

Schubert Impromptus D899
Rachmaninov - Etudes-tableaux Op 39

You don't need to vote for the Rach, Cato already pushed it over the line. You can pick something else instead.

[Madiel]

I am really surprised by the lack of Scriabin votes!

I think the difficulty with certain composers is that they, as it were, spread their own votes. Do I think Scriabin is an important piano composer? Absolutely. Can I identify a particular Scriabin piece to champion? That's harder. I know a couple have been nominated now, but I don't look at them and immediately think oh gosh, yes, that's a work that needs to be in there.

I think Brahms is another who suffers from this problem. I think the later piano works, in particular, are extremely fine, but even the last period of composition produced 20 smaller-scale pieces grouped into 4 opuses. I still haven't figured out which one of those opuses to nominate.

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

I agree with ørfeo.......I love Scriabin's piano works but I find it immensely difficult to pick a certain piece. Should his 9th sonata end up in the voting rounds I will certainly support it, but currently I would rather nominate compositions in particular of which I am particularly fond.

Last night I was listening to the late Brahms works for this same reason.  Instead I opted to do this:

Cage - Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano (3)

[Madiel]

As is your right.

But you do have 2 votes, so... you could use the other one for Brahms.

[André]

Cage - Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano (3)

Yessss !!


...................

For today's votes I'm choosing 2 new works

Mozart sonata in a minor, K 310

Brahms sonata no 3

[San Antone]

As is your right.

But you do have 2 votes, so... you could use the other one for Brahms.

I know; but (and as I agreed with you), I couldn't decide which of Op. 116-119 to nominate and didn't want to just add yet another new work.  At this point in the game I want to advance another work and get closer to the voting round.

But I might as well use my second vote for this: Brahms - Variations and Fugue on a theme by Händel, op. 24 (3) which accomplishes both goals.

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

Rzewski - The People United Will Never Be Defeated!
Webern - Variations op. 27

[Ken B]

Cage Prepared Piano
Prokofiev 7

[San Antone]

Cage Prepared Piano
Prokofiev 7

A few votes before yours I already had advanced the Cage work; Sammy just hasn't updated the board yet.  You might want to use your vote to advance a different work.
