The week-starting-with-my-birthday is ending. This’ll have to do. Between fever, attempted naps, and coughing (oh the coughing), here’s a very special piece at maybe half speed: Medtner’s Sonata-Skazka, Op. 25 . https://youtu.be/HijPpVLOmaI #weeklypiano #medtner #romanticism

    Some stay up for New Year’s Eve; some aren’t well rested enough for that. Either way, here’s our final #weeklypiano for 2022: Medtner’s Op. 37 “Insomnia”, with the vocal part played on piano and overdubbed.

      I don’t have this #weeklypiano quite where I want it, but that’s nothing new. What’s different is how much I still want to get it righter. A bit off schedule, though, and gotta take my chances when they come.

        Finally a bit more piano time in the morning, so a #pianominiature that’s a bit less mini. For today’s #dailypiano #Bortkiewicz, we open up his four pairs of Lamentations and Consolations. This is the first Lamentation, Op. 17 .

          Another strange and wonderful find among Grieg’s Lyric Pieces, heard for the first time yesterday and playing through for the third time here: Op. 54 Gjetergutt (“Shepherd’s boy”).

            Before we head out for the day, here’s a quick phone recording of Grieg’s Op. 71 Der var engang (“Once upon a time”).

              Also not quite a miniature, but more nearly than yesterday’s.
              Also chunky in parts, but many more musical lines to be apprehended.
              Wrapping up our visit with York Bowen, here’s his Romance in G flat major.

                Today’s piece (Scriabin Prelude Op. 13 ) isn’t so tiny, but that’s okay, I miniaturized the climactic moments in my bumbling.
