It is a pretty good interpretation. I’m not sure, Ian. It is a pretty good interpretation.

I don't get whether the poster is being sarcastic or not, but I quite like the playing. Who is that playing on the link to Guitarmania?

Indeed he is. Rubato is one thing, distortion is another. It's not senseless distortion -- there seems to be a mind involved -- but is it beautiful? No. It's erratic and abusive. The meter is being made the victim of gratuitous violence. To hear this played by Eduardo Fernandez is to hear it played with brilliance and taste. It's too bad there's no online video of EF playing this, nor an MP3. I don't know if his old recording of the Caprices is still in print. “Zoran Anic is really doing things with this Caprice….”

I try to set aside my ego for comments on my playing that are helpful. It's nice to get comments that are really in depth like this. I have a lot of trouble letting go when I play. So I tend to try and control everything, especially in 19C music where I'm not so comfy. This works for some things, but obviously not for everything. I definitely identify more with 20C music.

I've just read my own stuff here and feel some of it must come across as really pretentious. Sorry if it does: that was not my aim. Thanks for your humbleness. (In your comment and the way you classify your own playing.) Only a humble musician is still open to true learning. Only an always humble musician can become a true musician. (I should keep it in mind!) Thanks! I’ve just read my own stuff here and feel some of it must come across as really pretentious. Sorry if it does: that was not my aim.

Even this performance could have more phrasing etc.; but Izhar's finally beginning to understand a bit about interpretation. (He's miles ahead of your Stanley Yates and ... well virtually all other players I've heard. But I know 2 people who are even ahead of Izhar: almost unknown, no CD's, and I doubt that will change, though the one guy is always talking about it. But they are the craziest connoisseurs you'd ever come across!) Get a head-start: Try learning from this:
