I dont know why...Im not even a fan of this guy Shoshtakovich and yet I come back to this video everyday to listen to it, as if Im addicted.

I read in an Oliver Sacks book that Shostakovich's musical "muse" was a metallic sliver in his brain; every time he leaned his head to the side, he "heard" musical inspiration. Pretty interesting.
He apparently was not happy about getting the sliver removed.

"how could you possibly tell that...heh"
By listening. (I even get paid for that).
The more original point before the original point here was the point I made in the little video description box over there.

"the piano keys Sh. presses and notes you hear in the audio are not the same."
how could you possibly tell that...heh
I think the original point was that if the composer is playing then whatever he plays is automatically right. This is obviously false, because even the composer could accidentally play notes he didn't mean to. I don't know this concerto well enough to pick out particular mistakes, but I think I can hear a couple of screw ups in there.

All this is unrelated to the original point:
The term "wrong notes" in this particular case refers to the fact that the piano keys Sh. presses and notes you hear in the audio are not the same. It is very likely that he "meant to play the notes that he played". (It doesn't look like he is "messing up".)
Also, it is very common for certain composers to play their music differently from the published version.
Hope this settles the whole "wrong note" debate.

what if he meant to play different ones.

This is an amazingly good piano concerto, especially for a first one. Too bad we don't have the entire thing. |
