Damn, this Neapolitan suspension gives a very specific kind of character. I wish there was a book containing many different strong characters like this one to see them side by side. By the way your improvisation was wonderful, very informative also.

That's what I'm trying to do (more or less) with my website "the library of sonorities"! I'm looking into this specific chord at the moment, it's striking but very hard to find.

Wonderful video. That suspension is something else, but what actually caught my attention is the next chord after that, which appears to me to be one of the very first uses of a 7b5. I'm particularly fond of that chord, it's used in pop music (most complex and crafty songs perhaps) and before that I traced it back to some pianists making it popular in jazz, from Art Tatum to Thelonious Monk (who had his own special way to use it, without resolving the b5 tension at all). I'm curious if that chord ever happens or appears used that way before Scriabin. (I'm sure it does, specially in the most impressionistic works. - If not, this right here is a good catch). Cheers!

that piece is basically an improv etude: I took that cadence that I showed right at the beginning and transposed it via modulating up a 5th each time and some stuff after I reached g# minor to go back to the initial key of e minor that I started with

why do classical musicians rarely play quintuplets as… quintuplets? they usually surrender to a sextuplet feel, the first note lingering for two pulses of a even sixth division, then filling the remaining 4 notes with four sixths.
@en-blanc-et-noir
5 ай бұрын
lol my impression is that you're not asking a genuine question but rather more want to convey the idea that 1) a true or accurate playing would be an exact, mathematical division of the quintuplet, 2) "classical musicians" are lacking a level of musicianship that allows them to count porperly and 3) but you - presumably a jazz musician - got the auditive sensibility to recognoize and point at these clumsy habits... why do jazz musicians rarely play a line of straight eighth notes... as eighth notes? Becasue they surrender to a swing feel??? Dude what I'm trying to say is: it is kinda naive to simply apply the aesthetic norms of one stylistic sphere (here whatever "jazz") to another one (late romantic piano music) and to think that this is the law I just stumbled upon this comment and if I got it all wrong, leave an objection cheers
@dominicirving
5 ай бұрын
You’re right, I’ve noticed this as well. Especially if the quintuplet figure is a ‘turn’ ornament, a classical player will unconsciously lengthen the first note - as you say, locking into a familiar sextuplet grid. There’s a fine line between expressive rubato and simply playing the wrong rhythm.

They might just be applying agogic accents on certain notes. Nothing to fuss about, except if you're some purist who views the music and performance as sacrosanct.

I agree there's a massive difference between quintuplets and sextuplets. It isn't a stylistic thing. If it was meant to be played in sextuplet time, it would have been written that way.
