Here’s a #Bortkiewicz Prelude (Op. 66 #3) I heard for the first time an hour ago. That’s been the very essence of #dailypiano. Also an ideal prelude to the next phase of this music-making project, which will look — and, with luck, sound — quite different.

The marionettes from Bortkiewicz’s Op. 54 are apparently each representing a nation and/or culture, so let’s expect some of the names to have aged poorly. For today’s #dailypiano #pianominiature, #3 is relatively okay: Spanierin (~“Spanish Lady”).

Today’s #dailypiano #pianominiature is short and sweet, like some kids I know. Grieg Lyric Piece Op. 38 #3 Melodi. https://youtu.be/N2a_dsTADzw

Gotta figure out how #dailypiano will work on Saturdays. Usually I record in the morning, but German classes for my boys just started up. Germany’s one of their countries. Here’s one of Grieg’s Lyric Pieces to match: Op. 43 #3 I hjemmet (“In my homeland”). https://youtu.be/BmIzGx0UAE0

Yesterday was #playmusicontheporchday. Today, we’re back to one (and only one) #dailypiano #pianominiature from Grieg’s Lyric Pieces, another that I’ve known and loved and am finally playing with my own two human hands: Op. 47 #3 “Melodi”. https://youtu.be/2JM6ORSxKxM

Yesterday’s #dailypiano was a new and exciting formula:

1. Share myself playing something I’ve never heard
2. Find a recording and see how I did

So here’s another of Grieg’s Lyric Pieces I’m not familiar with: Op. 12 #3 Vektersang (“Watchman’s Song”).

Alkan’s apparent naïveté, as mentioned previously, is faux. Here’s an example of how we know what he knows. Prélude Op. 31 #3, “Dans le genre ancien” (“In the old style”): https://youtu.be/Mc9SVAznMzs

For today’s #dailypiano #pianominiature, it’s Mompou’s Impressions Íntimes #3. Your job while listening: imagine that D flat making its sound.

Given a fine piano and a well prepared pianist, this excerpt (again just the opening Cançó from one of Mompou’s Cançons i danses, this time #3) is diaphanous, as ethereal as any real thing can be.

You’ll have to extrapolate. 🤣

Updated reporting on the 1923 Baldwin with a non-striking D-flat/C-sharp: it is of course easier to hide the problem in G major, which today’s piece is sort of “in”. Scriabin Prelude Op. 13 #3: https://youtu.be/Ar47rjnC1Jo

Can a Scriabin G-flat prelude (Op. 16 #3) be played with a non-striking D-flat? Our New York correspondent has the story. https://youtu.be/87WXkIRbJHo
