Recorded three days ago, finally: the third and final movement of #Medtner Op. 25 No. 1 “Sonata-Skazka”. Propulsive. With a bunch more practice I might could keep up.

Maybe _that’s_ his secret.

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.

Welcome to #weeklypiano! I have ideas for how it can improve on what I did as #dailypiano. For the moment it’s the same, just less often.
After my first week of work in rather a long time, I’m ready to come up for air. Here’s one of MacDowell’s. https://youtu.be/tlKy6bfEz8o

After nearly 6 music-hours (and 5 calendar-months), this 127th #pianominiature marks the end of my #dailypiano project.
My regular music-sharing will continue, if that's any consolation. In case it's not, here's Bortkiewicz's Consolation, Op. 17 #4:
