The Chaconne of Bach-Busoni-Siloti, or Three's Company

This week I took a detour from the Nick Drake transcription project, after a brief exchange with @Jim Symon on the art of transcription, which led me study the Bach Chaconne transcribed by Siloti. Pianists and audiences are well familiar with the Busoni transcription, which has attained a mythic status (and remains beyond my ability to play), but Alexander Siloti transcribed Busoni's transcription, providing pianists of more modest means access to the heart and soul of an otherwise inscrutable work. A "Bach-Busoni Lite", if you will.

Have you been vaccinated?

Here in the UK, even though we do have a bumbling government and Brexit is a reality the vaccination program is going extremely well. It's great to see my vulnerable and older friends getting their jabs, and hopefully I'm not too far away in the queue. Sadly, it seems that the EU are not having the same success..

Spaans Huis, Bergen, België / Spanish House, Mons, Belgium / Spanisches Haus, Mons, Belgien

👉 Maison espagnole (1) [grand format]

• Rare exemple de maison de tradition espagnole à Mons ! la Maison espagnole remonte aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles, mais elle fut fortement restaurée au début du XXe siècle. Alors que le rez-de-chaussée compte deux baies du XVIe siècle, le premier étage et l’étage supérieur s’ouvrent sur plusieurs petites ouvertures de tailles différentes du siècle suivant. Une construction en briques y a été adjointe au XVIIe siècle. Restauré au XIXe siècle, la Maison espagnole fut rétablie par la suite dans son état primitif.
• Zeldzaam voorbeeld van een huis in Bergen in traditionele Spaanse stijl ! Het Spaanse Huis dateert uit de 16e en 17e eeuw, maar werd aan het begin van de 20e eeuw gerenoveerd. Alhoewel de gelijkvloers twee ramen uit de 16e eeuw heeft, hebben de eerste verdieping en de bovenste verdieping verschillende openingen uit de volgende eeuw. Een stenen constructie werd in de 17e eeuw toegevoegd. Het Spaanse Huis werd in de 19e eeuw gerenoveerd, maar werd dan in zijn oorspronkelijke staat hersteld.

• Rare example of a house in traditional Spanish style in Mons ! The Spanish House dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries, but is was renovated in the beginning of the 20th century. Although the ground floor has got two windows of the 16th century, the first floor and upper floor have got many different openings dating from the next century. A stone construction was added in the 17th century. Renovated in the 19th century, the Spanish House was then restored to its original state.
• Einzigartiges Haus nach spanischer Tradition in Mons ! Das spanische Haus wurde im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert gebaut aber wurde am Anfang des 20. Jahrhundert tief restauriert. Das Erdgeschoss besteht aus zwei Glasfenstern aus dem 16. Jahrhundert während die erste und zweite Stöcke auf mehrere kleine Öffnungen verschiedener Größen aus dem 17. Jahrhundert hingehen. Ein Backsteingebäude wurde im 17. Jahrhundert hinzugefügt. Das im 19. Jahrhundert renovierte spanische Haus wurde danach in seinem ursprünglichen Zustand restauriert.

Early in my community’s #lockdown a few months ago, I chose #Bach’s #Toccata in C minor to include in my fledgling #sheltering at #home #recordings series. I was just beginning to experiment with recording #solo #classical #piano with a digital piano, and the results varied widely. This toccata was one of several initial attempts I eventually removed due to poor performance, poor processing, or both, after my efforts began to improve over time.

I returned to it after being inspired by Angela #Hewitt’s recent live streamed #recital from #Wigmore Hall, where she opened with it. I tried to emulate her mastery, but all I could produce was ineffective mimicry: it is much more difficult to pull off Hewitt’s slower #fugue interpretively (even though a faster tempo is technically harder). Ultimately I returned to a flashier, brasher, fugue tempo, a #gimmick to gloss over a shallow depth, but closer to my character as a musician.
