It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
God I hate black angels. For me, personally, it's one of the worst pieces of.. I can't even call it music.. ever written.
Of course that's just me. Every time I try to listen to it (to understand) it feels like somebody is sticking needles into my brain and ears. Ugh.
I agree wholeheartedly.

"It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right."
I too, dislike it. Its very bad sounding. It sure is a workout to play, but just isn't very musical.

"Classical instruments" being used in such a way as above always makes me laugh a bit.
It's like.. there's a whole world of electronic music out there, but these people just HAVE TO use dry "classical instruments" to get some kind expirimental sound effects... I guess to make it appear more 'serious' than by using electronic tools... but the result is simply unlistenable noise.

Strange how people actually do listen to the unlistenable.

Solo piano: Scriabin 9, Scriabin, Op. 74 preludes (especially No. 2), Chopin Prelude Op.28, No.2, Chopin Winter Wind, Chopin last movement of the Bb minor Sonata, beginning of the Liszt B minor Sonata, second movement of Haydn D major sonata (usually No. 35 in the old editions), Prokofiev Vision Fugitive No.1 and 10. Just off the top of my head.
.....second movement of Haydn D major sonata (usually No. 35 in the old editions)....
Good get! I'm assuming you mean the one that's now usually called #35 or Hob. XVI (had to look it up to know that).
We wouldn't usually think of that movement because the rest of the sonata is so 'light.' It was the first Haydn sonata I played, and yes, the slow movement is pretty weird. "Haunting" fits it to a T. It's the first piece that ever made me feel entranced while I was playing it.
P.S. I take it nobody is too spooked out any more by this good old thread.
