A Beautiful Piano Piece -- Bach-Busoni Chaconne

(2009-10-02 08:31:55) 下一个

This is a very difficult piece I have been playing for past 4 years, but the stretches are not as impossible as they seem. The chord is broken into an arpeggio. OMG, the interpretation Busoni is my favorite performance of this piece! I don't think anyone carries it better than Pletnev. This is the recording that inspired me to play the piece. I have been listening to this many many times, everytime time is like the first. Such power and beauty. This is Bach,yes, sort of. But it's also Busoni and very much in the late Romantic tradition of the piano transcription. Liszt, Busoni transcriptions have to be played as you would any other composers of that period. That the piece is based on Bach is, almost, beside the point. It's a Romantic interpretation of Bach's music and would be totally ineffectual if it were interpretated in a Baroque way. There was one time Bach's this piece was talked about on NPR, they said it was a "little known piece but the most profound and sad pieces ever written". And some people called in to say that the piece was one of the best things in their lives. The piece is Ferruccio Busonis transcription of the Chaconne from the d minor Partita for solo violin (the second one I think, BWV 1004). I would agree with everything they said if they had changed "little known" to "very well known indeed". There's divine spirit in it.
