      Not a concerto, mercs - a sinister transcription of one several of Fred's solo pieces

      Piano is correct

        Indeed Norths but this Leo is better known for his work on the piano and Leo is a diminutive of his first name

              22 Studies on Chopin's Etudes by Leopold Godowsky, some are left-hand only
              recorded by Ivan Ilic

              perhaps Ivan has only recorded the left-hand ones
              American pianist Ivan Ilic´ manages to bring expressive finesse to these Chopin studies as well as negotiating the technical hurdles, writes Geoffrey Norris.


              beg pardon, 22 of the 53 are for left hand

                Blimey, good stuff, mercs I was nowhere.

                Did you listen to the "L" for Left-hand segment of the ongoing A-Z of the piano, Ammy? (I'm catching up with the podcasts - Ivan Ilic was featured, and his 'insane' left-hand undertaking re Godowsky...
                "...the isle is full of noises,
                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    I'm enjoying the piano festival I must say, Caliban but I'm taking it at my own pace (something some of our fellow boarders don't seem to be able to grasp )

                    If you go to Ilic's website you'll find links to radio interviews he's done in French too

                        I was surprised too mercs. Mind you all those glowering/smouldering photos of him on the website appear to be heavily posed cos he's nothing like that once he gets going, if you see what I mean

                              I have to be away by 18:30 so let's get this sorted.

                              someone who finished something that Roger started
                              - Roger started something in 1969 which someone called Ivan finished in 1989. More accurately, Ivan was in at the finish, and it (the something) was named after a county to the East of London

                                Oh I thought we'd finished and the answer was Ivan... no?

                                Mind you, been a bit busy having a pillow fight in the dorm with vinmousseux
