I haven't bought a Schirmer text in a long, long, LONG time. (And have no intentions. Still, what a redolence.)

I like the player Balazs Szokolay very much. He gives quite the spirited reading of Bartok's Mikrokosmos. Of course what else are you going to do with it? Here is Vol. 6, No. 146, Ostinato: Vivacissimo.

Exactly what I saw in the Keys, night diving, about 15 years ago... except they were looking straight at me. What does this have to do with piano? Um. Um. Alternating key-like patterns on their bodies?

Possibly my favorite work of Schoenberg's, certainly right up there, and perfection in every way. I didn't altogether appreciate GG's performance when I first heard it 30 yrs ago or so. I was at that time under the spell of Charles Rosen's complete works performances. (And if I still had my copy of that out-of-print gem, I could talk more intelligently about it.) But I like this very much now, to say the least. Irrespective who you listen to, or play it yourself, this is 12-tone's apotheosis. Worth living for.

The Compiano is an amazing computer which looks like a piano. It does not play music unless you play your mp3 files on the Compiano and connect it to a speaker however. =/

Awesome!
