Kaikhosru Sorabji: Gulistān (Eric Xi Xin Liang) [Score, Audio, Visuals]

Recorded at home on October 14th, 2021. Learned and refined in approximately 90 hours, starting from late June 2021. Listen with headphones for the best experience 🎧 Favourite moments: 5:02, 11:09, 12:17, 17:32, 20:04, 20:44, 21:42, 22:53, 25:01, 28:34 to end (i.e. I like the 2nd half of this piece) Disclaimers: Pardon some of the visual and audio distortions at page turns. I don't have anyone to flip pages so I must cut those out in processing. Pardon some of the brief blacked out screens in the video. The video file got corrupted at random points for about 0.6 sec each, so I had to edit those out. The audio is completely intact though. How to listen to this piece and how I came about learning it (for those new and not yet comfortable with this kind of music): Understand a bit about the background of the piece. I recommend having a quick read of http://www.sorabji-archive.co.uk/comp... Realize that whatever music you're into (in the genre of classical music), I've probably been there at some point in my life, but I've moved on. In fact, maybe only 2 years ago, I would have at most listened, at the extreme, Bartok's music. See this video I have for documentation:    • A Decade of Music Performance: How I got t...   . Also, this video for the highlights of all the pieces I've learned in the past 2 years:    • Best of Musicforever60 (up to 2022)   Realize that it takes certain ear training of lesser known pieces to gradually adapt to new soundscapes. It's not an overnight process. See the playlist "Memorable Pieces" (    • Memorable Pieces   ) on my channel for documentation. Realize that this is not the ideal piece of music by Sorabji to start off with. It is already aggressively convoluted. See my recordings of "In the Hothouse" (    • Sorabji: In the Hothouse (Eric Xi Xin Liang)   ), "Le Jardin Parfumé" (    • Kaikhosru Sorabji: Le Jardin Parfumé (Eric...   ), "Preludio-Corale from Toccata Seconda" (    • Sorabji: "II. Preludio-Corale" from Toccat...   ) for starters. Regarding this recording, the best way (I find) to listen to this (if you're new to this piece) is to play it in the background while your mind is slightly distracted with another task. With Sorabji's works, being familiar with the music is critical. Always follow some melodic line in the piece (there always is one) and listen for the associated harmonic base. Try not to listen to the entire texture. Feel the rise and fall of tension and feel the richness of the harmonies as this music is primarily harmonically driven. My background in words: Part 1:    • Запись   Part 2:    • Запись   My experience: While this is literally the first attempt I have made to record this piece, I'd like to look back and reflect on how far I've entrenched myself into this rabbit hole of music. It feels incredible just to manifest music such as this. While, at the start, I was hesitant on committing to fully learning this piece because of all the fierce and mind-boggling challenges ahead, I persevered because this piece slowly grew on me. At every point in this piece, it was confusing how I was going to present it in a coherent and poignant way, but when I drove myself through the combinatorial plethora of possibilities and found the one I liked, it felt like an honour, like finding the right interlocking puzzle piece within a thousand-piece puzzle. So, now I've pushed myself to limits I wouldn't have dreamed of even at the start of 2021, and developed priceless new skills in the process. I consider this a major life achievement and I'm incredibly glad I pursued this piece and developed it to completion. I might record this again in 1 to 2 weeks time, because I believe I can definitely get this to even better quality. Thank you to everyone for the continued motivational support and attention while I learned this piece! At time of recording, Eric is a 4th year Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo. #piano #music #sorabji
