Sorcerer88 - Alkan Canon 65/3: Message Board

Sorcerer88's Comments

In this piece the two hands literally sing a canon, the left hand being one bar behind the right one. Even with this compositional constraint, it's a beautiful piece, but very difficult to perform, as one slip in dynamics or rythm drowns one of the voices.

This is an older recording (from my youtube channel), i hope i can replace it with a better one tomorrow morning after the deadline (as well as the Kapustin), the intro really isn't pretty.
