but that is the beauty of the work, not of the interpretation :-)
I just wanted to say that “your ideal interpretation” is exactly how Peppino wrote it, because that roll doesn't last “a second” as you wrote, but almost the entire measure and it is precisely a crescendo, so throw away the CD you have because if “every time you listen to the piece you get extremely angry because you want the CD to read your mind” it is the fault of the CD, not Peppino; neither are you a seer or a dreamer: it is written this way!
the message was referring to what Luca was saying :-) you wrote your comment at the same time as mine, I had time to see it but I had to run off and couldn't update :-)
... does it really last 3/4? I feel like it lasts less and less... but maybe that is also part of memory distortion. Let's go overboard, let's make it last 2 bars!
(...) as art is nonetheless a relational object, whose beauty lies not in the object or in the performance but in the RELATION between this object and those who experience it
You cannot imagine how much I agree. One should keep in mind the words 'relationship', 'relation' (in the sense in which you used them) every time one wonders what music actually is . . .
the "problem" (if these are indeed problems) is that a musical piece establishes multiple sincere relationships with multiple alert and curious listeners (whether they be novices or experts).
...I would like to bring my "chilly" contribution to the discussion: in the brain, the areas responsible for reading/writing music are in the left hemisphere, while melody finds its neuronal group on the right: this is not by chance since the left hemisphere is the "social" one, meaning it allows communication to others and provides me with a tangible memory of where I am. Instead, the right hemisphere is that of "art," meaning I create with the right and transmit it to others with the left: this is confirmed by functional MRI where when the artist creates, or we listen to a melody, the areas involved are truly many and they are those of the right hemisphere (each person however with slight or strong differences because neuronal heritage and its aptitudes differ), whereas when I write or read the correspondence on paper it is to remember or transmit to others but it is common to everyone... in fact there have been cases where a lesion of the left hemisphere (the one that acts like a "know-it-all" because it knows how to write) when it stopped dominating the right, unlatented the artistic possibilities of the poor soul... and it is confirmed because Homerically it was passed down orally but someone could "cheat"....and writing was born...
