Meanwhile, Mordasov No. 8, of which Google translates the title as “drawing, hoax, spoof, rag, leg-pull, send-up, practical joke”. I’d love to hear how a native speaker translates it. #pianominiature #mordasov

Weather’s the same chilly rainy gray. Back at my own piano, clearly it needs some work done. Not sure what/when/how. In the meantime, we’ll make do. This #weeklypiano #pianominiature is Ressouvenir (“Remember”) from Alkan’s Op. 63 Esquisses (“Sketches”).

Just kidding, it’s “Elegi”. The night-before-Christmas vibes are pretty strong, though.

The best composer, of course, is #Medtner. Let “Hymn” grow on you by listening several times.

I don’t have this #weeklypiano quite where I want it, but that’s nothing new. What’s different is how much I still want to get it righter. A bit off schedule, though, and gotta take my chances when they come.

For this week’s #weeklypiano #pianominiature, we have a Zwiegesang (“Duet”) by Moszkowski from 1894. Mostly very sweet, might even seem demure, but beware a few surprising harmonic shifts hidden in the half-steps.

For our next #weeklypiano, a slightly less famous sibling of a very famous #pianominiature. If you know Satie’s first Gymnopédie — and I bet you do — then you almost know his third. https://youtu.be/BjIT9gi4PsY
