Ne-am dat seama de un lucru. Nu ne-am uitat niciodata la lista de piese ascultate de altcineva pe last.fm. Am ascultat, la un moment dat, postul de radio facut pe baza preferintelor metropotamilor, dar ne-am plictisit dupa vreo 5 minute.
N-am stat niciodata pe site sa scriem comentarii la fiecare piesa ascultata. Si de fapt n-am prea folosit nimic din chestiile web 2.0 de pe last.fm. Probabil fiindca atunci cand ascultam muzica ne intereseaza altceva.
Last.fm nu mai e free. Chiar daca nu costa mult (3 USD / luna), felul in care a fost introdusa schimbarea (fara sa fie consultati si anuntati utilizatorii) si decizia de a-i pune sa plateasca doar pe cei care nu traiesc in USA, UK si Germania i-au facut pe destui sa isi inchida conturile.
Daca situatia nu se va schimba, pe 1 iunie o sa plecam si noi de pe last.fm. Pana atunci, ne-am gandit sa ne uitam la niste alternative. Si am gasit chestiile urmatoare:
This might sound at a point like a ragtime, but don’t be fooled – it’s a piano sonata nevertheless. 🙂 The last one written by Beethoven (and his last composition for piano too). So here goes the last “concert” from this series (we hope you’ve enjoyed it):

Note (in caz ca aveati indoieli):
1. Da, suna la fel ca Ederlezi.
2. Da, Bjelo Dugme a fost cea mai cunoscuta trupa din Yugoslavia.
3. Da, exista o legatura intre Goran Bregović si Bjelo Dugme. Pe scurt, Bregović e cel care a infiintat trupa.
4. Da, postul asta are legatura cu ziua de azi (just google “Djurdjevdan”).
5. Da, una dintre bunicile lui Gramo era sarboaica.
This sonata was composed by Beethoven in 1821 and has three parts. It is, in a way, representative for the group of piano sonatas written by him at the end of his life (he had probably lost his hearing entirely at the time).

E un mash up realizat folosind inregistrarile trimise de cei care au candidat pentru YouTube Symphony Orchestra. A aparut azi pe YouTube si arata cam asa:
p.s.: Orchestra YouTube o sa cante azi live la Carnegie Hall, sub conducerea lui Michael Tilson Thomas.
LE: Prima parte a concertului e aici.
This is quite intense:

The 29th piano sonata (also called Große Sonate für das Hammerklavier) is one of the most difficult works for piano solo ever written by man. It is a bit long, though, so make sure you have about 40 minutes to spare before you start listening to it.

You can actually hear how much Beethoven’s musical thinking has evolved while you listen to this sonata. If you compare it to the first piano sonata written by Beethoven more than 20 years earlier, for instance, you’ll see what we mean. It’s musical structure is more complex and sounds at times a bit broken, a bit repetitive, as it expresses what Beethoven has called “a series of impressions and reveries” (see here).
However, the 28th is still an interesting listening experience, so we hope you’ll enjoy it:

Beethoven wrote this one 5 years after writing the 26th piano sonata, during the summer of 1814. The 27th piano sonata has only two parts. The first movement is regarded as a dialogue between reason and passion, while the second is seen as a dialogue between lovers (see here, for instance). He hope you’ll enjoy it, because we did. 🙂
