대소나타 4악장인 50대는 노년에 접어들어 기력이 쇠하고 인생을 마감하는 것을 표현한 노래라고 봐야합니다. 알캉의 대소나타는 1847년에 나온 작품입니다. 19세기때만 해도 전염병이 지금보다 더 창궐했던 시대였고 그때 전염병 걸리면 거의 죽는다고 봐야했던 시절입니다.(지금은 간단히 고칠수 있는 결핵 천연두 이런것도 그때는 불치병이었음) 저 당시 유럽인의 평균수명이 65세였습니다. 그나마 유럽은 당시에 의술이 발달했으니 이 정도지 동시대에 우리나라 조선은 왕이나 신하 양반조차도 평균수명이 53세였습니다. 농민들은 그보다 더 낮은 35세였고요.
The best interpretation ever! Hamelin absolutelly understood this Alkan's masterpiece. Thank you for this video, this interpretation is a little unfamous.
This is great! My favourite interpretation of this piece on RU-vid. I am addicted to this piece, it's just absolutelly stunning and awesome piece full of joy, beauty, softness, drama, pensiveness and wisdom. And this piece has great form, I (as amateurish composer) really admire Alkan's way to edit, mix and perform themes and mainly in this piece. Every theme, motive, even every note has it's own place and they perfectly simbiosis with each other! Just peak of music!
Best performance ever. Hamelin is one of the greatest pianist ever! And Alkan is one of the most original and the best composers and this sonata is so pioneering!
Who needs drugs when there is alkan! This is one of the best pieces ever writted, Alkan used all his creativity, intelect and soul when he was composing this. And this performance is the best one, it's the peak of Hamelin's carrer!
0:00 Mark the LH accents! Without them, it sounds as if it's in 3/2. 3:17 Billaudot's score shows C#s in the RH; the pianist plays C#s. Why does your score have Ds? 4:11 Why ever drop an 8ve in the LH?? 5:28 Once again the pianist plays what's in Billaudot's score; why does your score differ?
People have criticized Hamelin’s performance of the Alkan Concerto for being too disjointed and for not allowing the phrases to flow neatly one after another. I agree with that critique. However, in this piece, his performance flows so smoothly between sections. Not just that, but his technique is just so perfectly fluid. Many of the most awkward sections of this piece are played like nothing here. No one can make the piano sound like a babbling river the way he does. Something about the way he plucks the notes is so bouncy and light and elegant and rich. His musicianship is on full display in this performance, it’s awesome.
