Free MP3 Debussy

October 21st, 2007

This page used to contains free MP3 files of Marina playing Debussy stuff like the Prélude and Sarabande of Pour le piano, the three poetic Images (second album), The wattery Jardins sous la pluie and the funny Petit Nègre.

I removed those MP3 files now, not because they had to be removed for any reason like copy right problems or so, no no, they will come back soon, and in fact some of these MP3 files are yet on this site, but as I reorganized the site with specific categories and podcasts, it turned out not to work well by putting them all on one page.

So soon there will be new pages and new links to MP3 files, links and videos of Marina playing Debussy, or maybe they are even there yet!

I’m also adding the possibility to get the MP3 files directly in your iTunes (see in the right column). The purpose is to have one Podcast for each category, so you will have one Podcast for Debussy, one Podcast for Lizst, one Podcast for Beethoven and so on.

I will probably also make one general Podcast with all audio together…. not sure, we’ll see how that turns out.

One thing is sure, this is taking more time than planned, so please be patient.

Bach Invention no. 1

October 9th, 2007

Bach’s invention nr. 1. I drop him here and will add more explanation as soon as I get it from Marina :)

The first ornament is a trill, and not a mordent, as older teachers regularly wrongly think. The reason for this is that old Czerny, Mason and Busoni editions were displaying a mordent on this note, which is wrong according to all manuscripts.

Bach has given no indication of speed for this Invention no.1 so it’s really up to the interpreter.  Among the famous interpreters the speed varies from 60 bps (Glenn Gould) till 120 (Andreas Schiff and Czerny) .
