wtf would Rachmaninoff and Mozart do if they saw this? ![[image loading]](http://www.jfdolphins.com/images/Ex11.jpg) Horowitz supposedly gave up on learning a Godowsky study, which makes me wonder if Godowsky could play half the stuff he wrote. Are 20th century composers insane? I can't see this crap becoming classics like Chopin and Beethoven. | ||

Beethoven not so much, he wrote for the sake of writing. It's playable, but uncomfortable. Rachmaninoff... some of it is unplayable if your hand isn't big enough - but he could play all his music. Most composers can play their own music :X modern composers I don't pay attention to, though. | ||

What you don't udnerstand was that these guys were usually among the very best pianists of their time. Cf. Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Mozart | ||

All of the (edit: major) significant composers to history that wrote keyboard music, like Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Rachmaninoff, etc., etc., could obviously play their music. Well, except Schumann.  GI, do you mean "classical" as everything pre-modern or Western art music in general? | ||

Anyway, arent there any piano playing programs? A pc doesnt have hands so in theory you could compose imposible music and be able to actually hear it... | ||

A pc doesnt have hands so in theory you could compose imposible music and be able to actually hear it... Ah, I should've probably been less possibly misleading. "Keyboard" in English generally means electronic keyboard, but there is a second meaning that (within the context of classical music repertoire) means the body of instruments that are played with the hands that have keys set up in chromatic fashion--namely, the piano, harsichord, clavichord, organ, etc. Keyboard music thus refers to works written by Bach and others before the piano was invented as well as those written for the piano itself. But yeah, you could input anything into any number of computers/devices (MIDI, although digital music samples would often sound better) and get it to play back any music at all. The limitations of electronics should be far beyond those of humans. However, it's not really a performance, and you'd be very hard-pressed to get a decent imitation of a good piano's sonority and any specific articulation at all, so it wouldn't sound near to real. edit: Haji, the majority of Chopin's music is very pianistic (fitting the hand), at least in my experience playing and hearing it. | ||

What you don't udnerstand was that these guys were usually among the very best pianists of their time. Cf. Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Mozart Yeah, I know that and respect the genius composers like the ones you listed. Liszt could probably sight read half the classical music written before his time. I'm referring to composers such as Sorabji(sp?) who composed the measure shown in the picture in the first post. The piece is something like 4 hours long and the picture shows one of the easier measures. The score is supposedly 7 inches thick, which is another thing that makes me wonder if the guy could actually play it. | ||
