Explanation of less well-known expression marks: - "senza rigore" -> "a piacere" or "ad libitum" - "s.v." -> "sans vibration" -> pedal with clarity - mp -> mezzo piano - bp -> ben piano - pf -> poco forte - bf -> ben forte - psf -> poco sforzando - bsf -> ben sforzando - prfz -> poco rinforzando - brfz -> ben rinforzando - "circle symbol" -> lift pedal halfway (though, tbh, I ignored most of the explicit pedal markings)

what does "ben" mean? Is it an intensifier, so ben piano is quieter than piano?

@@RyanPower I have no need to prove anything. I was giving my opinion - as is legal and permitted - that there was little of substance in the "music" of Mr Enescu and suggesting that there are other composers, perhaps exemplified by JS Bach, to whom one could listen if one wanted to find meaning in the music. You are free to disagree if you wish, naturally.

There’s a reason Mozart is dubbed “too easy for children, too hard for adults”. Fanfare like Liszt is easy, so long as you have the stamina. Things like this are different. But when done right, they’re the most rewarding IMO. And as always, it sounds great!

Aside from your masterful playing, there are lots I like about this piece like how it's so colorful and tender in a poignant way, but some of it definitely sounds too self-indulgent and I don't like how certain phrases don't resolve - not referring to tonality but rather the lack of closure as if you are improvising with ADHD and throwing 'paint' of ideas on a white canvas and seeing what sticks. Do you perhaps share the same sentiment? As you play these 'obscure' pieces do you often wish certain parts were written differently to suit your taste or do you lean more on the side of liking things the way they are?
@Musicforever60

I understand what you mean. That's part of what made it challenging to interpret and put together. Some of the sections just kind of abruptly end and move on to the next idea, but I think that's part of where the beauty and uniqueness lies. I've played and recorded a plethora of pieces and I'd immediately lose interest in hearing the same predictable resolutions another time. This asymmetry creates more than just a bit of awkwardness, but messes with a listener's rhythm and expectation. I very much recognize it as a feature and leverage it in my playing. The various expression-based techniques I've devised and incorporate in my playing is very much psychology-based and manipulative, so the more of these opportunities there are, the more exciting it is for me since I have something unconventional to work with. On a completely different note, I would agree there are maybe one too many mini-climaxes in the development section, but I see that as a feature of the style of the music which is doina, a Romanian style.
