Sorabji: "VIIa. Preludio" from Piano Sonata No.5 ["Opus Archimagicum"] (Eric Xi Xin Liang)

Recorded on December 24th, 2022. Learned and refined in approximately 38 hours (practice) + 8 hours (score annotation) over 2 months. I suppose this is a world premiere? Yay??? lol honestly doesn't even feel like a big deal anymore... so desensitized, absolutely absurd... For me, this recording is not within bounds yet for being acceptable as final, but I thought it'd be a nice to deliver something right on time for Christmas! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! As well, some of the bits have been tormenting me for a while now (e.g. 13:14 to end), so I committed some additional consistent effort to push it to be released on this day. I will do another take before new year, I hope. There are many intended gestures in this performance that I did not adequately present. Also, this performance is a bit slower than I'd like it to be. The main motifs for the Preludio are "GABE" (a rearrangement of BromAGE, the dedicatee of this entire work), "BACH" (BACB as notes), and "Dies Irae". The "BACH" motif is exceptionally present, with an instance of it almost every second of the Preludio. The "GABE" motif is distributed about like a demarcation between sections and ideas, with its chord compositions becoming increasingly agitated and disturbed. The "Dies Irae" theme appears here and there, though with much less prominence than the other elements. If the "IX. Interludium B [Toccata]" from Opus Clavicembalisticum were difficult, this would be the expansion of it, an endurance mission extended from a mere 6.5 minutes to 14 minutes. In addition, the notes require far more attention to read, with little to no patterns to reduce information clutter. (I had to figure out the exact stable fingering for every sequence.) The challenge of interpretation is ever present as well, following a similar approach with the OC Toccata, where I had to derive many contrived ways of creating direction, drive, and tension in the music. You'll hear many subtle dynamic fluctuations in this performance, but know that almost none of them are explicitly written. Such choices were also not naïve (in a Maths and Computer Science sense) where one simply applies dynamics by doing exaggerated responses to shifts in pitch; they were derived from psychological trickery haha. And this trickery also utilizes time manipulation and coordination of tone and voicing.

What's their nickname? What personality and quirks does that GABE have? Hobbies and interests? Hf in the comments lol. [OPINION] I honestly don't like this piece that much. It's soulless and psychopathic, which, for me, completely drains my energy. Perhaps it's entertaining to hear as an audience, but as the performer who needed to go through the arduous process of practising it, I needed to take frequent breaks from it or else I'd have no more emotional energy to deplete. Also, practising those final runs at the end was just torturous and painfully tedious with terribly slow (if even discernible) progress. My learning techniques are not very effective with those runs.
