This is a wonderful piece to learn and perform! It’s got so many nice parts. I love those cadenzas. I have performed this quite a few times. It’s pine off my favs. The ending section is really quite a contrast and always fun to get to this bit. Nice tutorial!
First of all, it is great to have you back posting on Learn and Love music. I have been listening for years to a recording I have of this beautiful piece but these explanations have added a great deal to my understanding and appreciation of the piece. I am also intrigued by the mystery surrounding the ending, which I only learned about today - maybe I will check out the alternate version by Mitsuko Uchida!
Well since I'm a close friend to Amadeo I know that he took the chance in this Fantasia to end it suddenly, because he both could and wanted it to leave it like that. That's who he was. Oh do I miss my old friend. My friend with both happiness and darkness.
I think the ending section would not end in D minor as this section is in D major. He wrote this section in D major ( the tonic major) so why change the ending bars into D minor? Makes no sense to me . I will look into this. Maybe we can compose our own ending? But, in D major…..
Very enjoyable to listen to. Thank you 👏👏👏
