Sorabji: Piano Sonata No.4, 2nd Movement ["Count Tasca's Garden"] (Eric Xi Xin Liang)

Recorded on June 18th, 2022 at home. Learned and refined in approximately 70 hours (started and paused in December 2021 [50], resumed June 2022 [20]). Note: This is definitely a piece you'll want to allocate time specifically for listening, not just sample, if you're looking to appreciate it in its fullness. Or, the other option is to play it in the background while doing something else. I assure you it's worth the time :) HIGHER QUALITY AUDIO VERSION:    • Запись   Use headphones. [DISCLAIMER] If you're unfamiliar with this style of music, it is suggested that you go through the description of this previous video for the necessary background:    • Kaikhosru Sorabji: Gulistān (Eric Xi ...  . Also, there are some weird glitches in the audio in this video, but it's because the audio file got corrupted and I had to implant the bit from another recording take I did. I only implanted less than 1 second of audio though. [DESCRIPTION] I consider this one of my best recordings. Finally, after going on a tangent during my last term in university to record some of Sorabji's Opus Clavicembalisticum [OC] and various other major works by other composers, I'm able to bring this recording to completion. It's really interesting how, after repeated exposure of Sorabji's music, seeing 4 simultaneous staves, to my eyes, has become completely commonplace and not at all stress-inducing lol. However, what was stress-inducing while learning this was how, as I gradually progressed through the piece, I had the continuous realization that somehow I needed to bring everything together at the end. This was a daunting challenge, since this piece has all the elements that can contribute to a performance stalling in directionlessness: very slow tempo, very long length, languid and quiet, little to no repetition (but loosely constrained by recurring motifs), indistinct pulse, and many build-ups and ramp-downs. It kind of reminds me of Shostakovich's symphonies, particularly the 4th and 7th symphonies, with an abundance of build-ups and ramp-downs that need to be connected together logically. So, I considered how I could use some of those performance techniques and details to keep this movement together. I wouldn't say I did an ideal job (but pretty great), but generally it's all a matter of time manipulation, of the subtlest order. Time manipulation, which I practised extensively with Sorabji's OC, can really have some interesting psychological tricks on the listener, and knowing these tricks is a powerful tool for delivering a compelling performance, i.e. every moment I play something that is off perfect tempo (even within the 1/5 sec range), it's very likely that I planned it in advance. [TRIVIA] Favourite parts of mine? Oh, so so many. If I could list the entire movement, I would, but that wouldn't help people much lol. This music is actually incredibly human and spans emotion with immense depth and breadth. 0:58, 3:06, 4:54, 5:55, 7:58, 8:38, 11:30, 11:56, 13:35, 15:13, 16:47, 18:22, 19:50, 20:51, 22:52, 24:41 (punta d'organo), 27:20 to end (favourite!) At time of recording, Eric is a full-time software engineer working in Big Tech, graduated from the University of Waterloo, Computer Science major. #piano #music #sorabji
