Couple of songs...

A little trivia Zoot, fogelberg was asked in an interview before he died, which song he like best…

He replied, that if there was only one song he could write it would be “leader of the band”

This is a cool song because of the chorus …

This is a cool song because of everything …

There are very few songs that have lyrics I approve of, but the idea that if someone loves you, you feel it and never need to hear it, really strikes me …

I was going through my first posts in this thread and realized that you might want to know the stories of songs 3,4,5

3 and 4 are written by Scarlatti, who many music critics have opined “who doesn’t like Scarlatti ?”

These recordings are made on the legendary seina pianoforte … It took 4 generations of the same family to make this piano … Liszt said it sounded divine when he played it, Charles Rosen is a legendary pianist!

The paganini étude is of a series of 6 pieces that liszt transcribed for piano - paganini is the original person of whom stories that someone sold their soul to the devil to play music originated… He was a violinist.

Liszt wrote phenomenal music himself…

He actually met Beethoven as a child (Beethoven notoriously hated child prodigies). But Beethoven (who was deaf at the time) kissed liszt on the forehead after he was done playing!

The tragic story of liszt, amongst other things, like the pope telling him he couldn’t marry, was that he devoted all his energy to preserving old music from symphonies to piano … And not even a decade after he died, recorded sound was invented, which made his passion to spread this music to the people, irrelevant!

He’s now known as the best transcriber who ever lived, but his partner always used to nag him that he was wasting his time transcribing other composers and not writing more of his own music .

Oh shit!

Kenter’s version is online now!!

I basically don’t post piano unless it is the best performance… And they really don’t put that on YouTube … So I don’t post much… I’m actually a composer myself and basically have PhD knowledge of this stuff !

I keep forgetting to say stuff… Liszts transcription of this is basically, the first real jazz song in history … Though it also has classical elements !

This sing us HUGE in music history!
