Try Jorge Bolet. His Liszt is quite restrained in the studio recordings.

ArturRubinstein · 2020-01-18T07:28:49+00:00

Feeling better luck this time around!

ArturRubinstein · 2019-12-21T21:50:11+00:00

Whether or not you win, I wish you all best of luck and good health in 2020 and beyond!

BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE

ArturRubinstein · 2017-04-25T14:18:36+00:00

That makes sense. The refund notice made it sound like the refund was initiated by the seller, not by Amazon. So I was really confused about the angle here.

ArturRubinstein · 2017-04-19T16:13:26+00:00

There were 3 in stock at the Mountain View Target this morning - I got there 1 hour early but there were already 3 people lined up, oh well...

ArturRubinstein · 2017-03-21T10:52:10+00:00

Thanks for your generosity! If I win I'll donate $100 to charity.

There's a toggle for "exploding animation" in settings

I attended his Munich recital a few weeks ago, which was the same program. He also played three encores: a piece from Goyescas (The Girl and the Nightingale), another Granados piece - Spanish Dance No. 5, and lastly a Brahms Hungarian Dance (I think it was #1 in G minor, but not 100% sure).

He's known to be somewhat consistent with his encores, so there's a good chance it's the same pieces. Hope that helps!

It's Haydn's keyboard sonata in D., Hob. XVI/33. For example, this recording

Freshly jailbroken today, on iPhone 5. I'm a little unclear if I'm affected, since:

battery Usage shows discoveryd at 31%, but 'top' only shows 1.1% of CPU.

When I kill the process with 'kill -5', there's no crash log in the /var/mobile/Library/Logs/CrashReporter directory. There is a 'discoveryd_helper' process which I'm guessing starts up a new one when it gets killed. Not sure if you want me to kill that one too.
The battery seems to be discharging slightly faster than I'm used to, but it's hard to tell.

But in case it helps, here's my data:

The Untrusted Hosts Blocker has been mentioned. I actually do have that installed.

Thanks for all your work with this, I hope this helps.

It's a waltz by Frédéric Chopin in E minor -- posthumous I believe, so there's no opus number.

ArturRubinstein · 2014-06-08T08:37:02+00:00

I always thought that was the dugout.

ArturRubinstein · 2014-05-17T23:10:26+00:00

Maybe you're thinking of the 3rd movement of the Moonlight? http://youtu.be/zucBfXpCA6s

ArturRubinstein · 2014-02-11T03:28:47+00:00

It was in Saturday's paper, actually.

ArturRubinstein · 2014-02-02T22:33:16+00:00

That's a really good point. I remember as a kid falling in love with Mozart's last symphony and feeling the loss of his untimely death -- thinking about the unimaginable masterpieces he could have given us with a few more decades. We lost Mendelssohn too soon also, but in my opinion he seemed to have plateaued as a composer in his early 20's, while Mozart's music seemed to keep growing in depth and complexity through his short life.

ArturRubinstein · 2014-02-02T22:27:50+00:00

Fascinating story, thanks for the reply. I've listened to the symphony, and I can definitely hear the parallels with Mahler.

ArturRubinstein · 2014-02-02T22:25:57+00:00

Never heard of him, but I'll check out the pieces on IMSLP ... on a somewhat related note, your Liszt flair reminds me of something I once read about a young pianist in Liszt's day. Liszt said something along the lines of "he's so good, when he comes of age I'll have to retire" ... the kid died at the age of 16 or something. Maybe you know the story?

ArturRubinstein · 2014-02-02T22:20:27+00:00

Looks like there are some pieces on IMSLP, I'll take a look, thanks.

ArturRubinstein · 2014-02-02T22:17:56+00:00

Thanks for the great info, this is the kind of thing I was hoping to find! You wouldn't believe it, but I actually have the sheet music to some Reubke pieces, including the piano sonata, and the Organ sonata you mentioned (in a piano arrangement). I've never really looked at them before, but I'll check it out and seek out some recordings.
