Post Subject: Why I brought those two pieces togetherPosted by Romy the Cat on: 8/18/2024
Ok, I will share why I feel that those pieces might be “compared”.
It is personal and I was very surprised what I recognized that there is a similarity
in them.
When I am listening to music, not playing with other that i
also like to do, but actually listening to music (which might be on my main
playback or even YouTube I don't care), I am get in controlled by whatever
musical work does. This is very interesting, controlled mode when I become were
instrument and very personal this those musical harmonies to the point that I
begin to feel that I own them and development of those harmonies is a subject
of my consciousness. It is irrelevant if I know the musical piece by heart or I
hear it for the first time, in my mind I feel that I am recomposing the musical
piece. They are great musicians, great
composers and great conductors. To me personally their greatness is described by
how large delta between what they do and what I expected within my imagination
what I would do if I were in their place. Bach is very particular bitch because
everything that I imagine and everything that I feel would be the best
imaginable way to go with a melody, or harmony or tempo or anything else, Bach Does
it not just better but he does it in a level which clearly indicates that I'm
not even stay close 300,000,000 light miles away. I have my own ego in my sense
of identity but in term of development of musical theme Bach treat me as
Michael Tyson would treat me at the ring: I am just nothing. For whatever
reason I hugely addicted to this masochistic squashing of myself by genius Bach,
Bruckner and many others…
Now we come to t Oscar Peterson. When I heard it for the
first time a month ago I was absolutely destroyed but my expectation “of what I
would do”. It was literally the same Michael Tyson effect. Oscar Peterson absolutely
blew me away and it was in a teasing, playful and effortless manner. It is not
the music that I am listening, but I have absolutely the same feeling how
distantly imperfect I am compared to the Oscar Peterson genius.
That was why I
