Re: Neidich's Copland vs. Goodman's Copland?

I understand what you're saying.

Still...I've dealt with many students who play the Sequenza to me.

What do I (mostly) find myself saying to them?

I find myself saying to them, look, he tells you to play legato there...but you don't play legato. Look, he says wait ten seconds there...but you don't wait ten seconds there. Look, he doesn't write a crescendo there...but you do one. Look, he writes an accent there...but I don't hear it. Look, he says 'sempre forte' there...but you do lots of diminuendos. Look, he starts to write diminuendos and crescendos there...but you don't do them.

And so on.

If you can actually do all the things he asks you, you're in a much better place to find out what the piece is 'about', for you.

There is one thing you might want to know about the pauses: which is that originally, during those pauses, there was a computer program that transformed (a favourite Berio word) the material you had just played.

Why Berio left them in, unaltered (when it turned out in the first performance that the computer program didn't work properly) I don't know. I felt I had to find a way to motivate their existence in my own performance, and came up with the image that they were like a freeze-frame in a video. When they occurred, I imagined that that video had been paused for the duration.

I found that helped me.
