Marc Andre Hamelin \ Leopold Godowsky Complete Studies On Chopin's Etudes

[Spirito]

Годовский сочинил свои в качестве подготовительных к шопеновским - чтобы те, кто будет после них играть Шопена, могли уже не думать о технических проблемах и заниматься проблемами художественными.

Так, можт быть, и слушать их не надо?

[Lanchonok]

Ты лучше по делу расскажи!

Теперь ты скажи по делу - купил или скачал?

[Lanchonok]

Так, можт быть, и слушать их не надо?

Хамелина стоит послушать! Его пианизм - чудо! Послушай хотя бы ради Марка Андре.

[Spirito]

No, he probably couldn't. The physiological difficulties underlying Chopin's etudes are archetypal problems, the etudes being a sort of complete database of basic pianistic problems presented in their primary form. Godowsky could probaly compose different pieces, but he definitely couldn't add essentially new difficulties. Even Liszt failed to .

Что Вы говорите? Неужели, даже сам Ференц Лист?

Слушай, а почему бы Амлену не сыграть просто "Этюды Шопена"?

[Fritz]

Так, может быть, и слушать их не надо?

Если возникает такой вопрос, то не надо ни в коем случае.

[Lanchonok]

Вот придет Беглец - и все расскажет, ой, как расскажет!

[Marina Ashley]

Yes, the great Franz Liszt himself . His etudes are difficult pieces mainly lacking instructive meaning, presenting no new problems as compared with Chopin's etudes, and often developing difficulties of non-archetypal nature, which can be easily reduced to those presented in Chopin's etudes.

As regards Fritz's opinion as well as the question why Hamelin has not recorded Chopin's etudes, I suppose that these etudes have been perfectly recorded many times, and he cannot add anything of interest, but he as a great virtuoso could offer much more - record Godowsky's etudes, which are anything but introductory studies , and very few people can play them.

Ces etudes seront interessantes seulement aux pianistes professionnels. Un simple melomane ne trouvera pas a eux l'interet.

Слушайте, господа полиглоты, я сейчас вам про Хамелина по-татарски напишу. Используя свой небольшой словарный запас, но мне его хватит. Ни один он-лайн переводчик не переведет!
