I remember, from my own failed attempts, that the Chopin-Godowsky etudes are phenomenally difficult to play, but I must confess, I do not hear the original Copin etude this was intended to embellish! . EDIT : My bad - I just realized this is not a Chopin-Godowski etude, but a C.V. Alkan piece. Doesn’t really look or sound that difficult, as the left and right hands are doing the exact same thing, an octave apart. .

The Senator Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) On 2/14/2019 at 12:14 PM, row_33 said: Chopin's Etudes are difficult enough, Godowsky's embellished them, and Hamelin plays them, have seen it once. Now this one is more easily recognizable. Marc-Andre Hamelin is one of the finest pianists alive, but I do prefer Chopin’s own version to Godowsky’s much slower, more heavily textured adaptation Here it is, played wonderfully by Valentina Latitsa... You might also enjoy Moritz Moszkowki’s ‘15 Etudes de Virtuosite’... . Edited February 19, 2019 by The Senator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the comments are hilarious, such as: "Another Yoko Ono masterpiece ruined by John Lennon and Frank Zappa" It’s hard to ruin a good song worse than Donna Godchaux, but Yoko is the Mohammed Ali of sabotaging a great song. Is Yoko the most hated women ever? Or did Hilary steal that title from her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanNC Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Who says rock is dead? The best band you've likely never heard of, Big Wreck, dropped the first single from their new album yesterday....and no that's not Chris Cornell raised from the dead on vocals. This is how you give a nod to the mighty Zeppelin without completely ripping them off. Greta Van Fleet I'm looking at you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark80 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Someone mentioned Keb Mo a few posts ago. He does a lot of stuff with Taj. Love this little tune. Blues / Reggae / Zydeco sound. Also, check out Keb and Taj doing Corinna, f it, i'll just post that too (if i haven't already). I mean how can you go wrong with lyrics like "got a rainbow round my shoulder, shine like silver, baby look like klondike gold" Epitome of coolness.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Big hair bands of the 80’s...crossover rock like “Stryper” had some skills here too!

row_33 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Side topic of bands that split up acrimoniously just before they hit with a surprise single or album. This ska masterpiece rose to #1 at a perfect time in the 80s.

At the time there were a ton of similar bands, except most weren't doing the Christian Rock thing. I liked this song: Another obscure band at the time was Icon. At the time every band needed the intro solo, none of whch lived up to Eddie Van Halen's Eruption. Good times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
