Love the quote from Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu at 15:45 in Variation 10.

Interesting to hear how often Mompou plays the right hand slightly after the beat in the left hand. I have read this was fairly common in the late 19th century, and that early 20th century pianists like Busoni and Schnabel rejected the practice. Yet here is the composer himself doing it when the recording was made (on or after 1957).

it makes the melody stand out more. the chord is played (mostly in the LH), has already reached its maximum amplitude and is on the way back to lower volume. you can play the melody in differnent dynamics and still make it stand out from the harmony. modern concert pianists do it too; for example Yuja Wangs performance of the 2nd piano concerto of rachmaninoff. just one of many examples

Funnily enough, there's some Scriabin influences throughout these variations. I almost imagine some of these as if Scriabin was improvising on that theme

El concepto inicial del tema de Chopin se ve altamente alterado por el mágico despliegue de variaciones y se convierte en un epílogo transformado. Absolutamente genial.

Mompou sophistication !!! is what we search for when we want intelligent , subtle late Romantic harmonies without the complexities of Godowsky and Rachmaninoff yet the ruminative and honest modesty of the music endears it to us .He is closer to the august ,lamenting Brahms and Debussy than the jokes-asides poosies of Satie . One can see the sensuosness of that era of Schonberg ,Berg ,Amy Beach and Scriabin in all of his music without violence, neorosis ;though there is irony one doesn't have to go searching for it .One can easily come away thinking he is a naive folklorist but there is much to him and he doesn't care for impressing you he offers an oldfashioned type of beauty -you can either take it or leave it .He is not looking back like WillBolcolm he is really a part of the way they think and felt. Pure early 20th century A tonic for life after WorldWar I . Nos. 8 and 9 are delicious so muchof this isjust perfect moonlit music like so mch of Mompou. Did he write any chamber or orchestral music ,any symphonic or vocal work ?

What did he play on? Doesn't sound like a normal piano, the echo feels like that of an electronic piano. It's got a bit of a chorus/string effect. Variation 10 was breathtaking. Amazing how he regulates the dynamic in each note. Everything makes perfect sense and is in harmony. There is a lot to learn in this performance. Thank you very much for sharing.

He is just playing in a traditional way those pieces were played in late 19th and beginning of 20th century, you get extra clarity and expression in voices, but in this way you can never play Bach, Beethoven or Mozart, goes well with romantics
