The Piano Piece I Have Been Playing for 4 Years

Chaconne this piece has been hailed as one of the most profound melodies ever written on the history of classical music. The soaring melodies and the lamentation-like melodic pattern of this particular work of art is comparable the so-called phantasmagoric pathos. Thank God, there is such music like this, which for my own very words, has been composed by the union of hum> music like this, which for my own very words, has been composed by the union of human virtuosity and divine gift......160; I'm learning this piece. It was a very emotional experience the first time I heard it--such an amazing piece. But Busoni's version has unbelievable hand stretches. At least an 11th is required but even greater stretches are there. I would recommend playing it on an extended Bosendorfer piano as the ending only logically proceeds into sub-bass territory.

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 THIS IS MY FAVOURITE PERFORMANCE OF THE 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.160; This is Bach,yes, sort of. But it's also Busoni and very much in the late Romantic trandition 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 the people called in to say that the piece was one of the best things in their lives. The piece is Ferruccio Busonis trascription 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.
