One piano, two arrangements, four hands

BCMS pianists Mihae Lee and Randall Hodgkinson recently sat down with Andrew Watts, a BCMS intern and young composer currently enrolled at the New England Conservatory, to talk about Mozart’s Fantasia in F minor, K. 608 (originally written for Mechanical Clock!) and Beethoven’s own piano four hands arrangement of the Great Fugue. Both pieces are featured on BCMS’s upcoming February 2010 concert, Trios and Fugues. You can listen to audio clips from their conversation below.

your sound bites are too quiet. I am 40 and I had to turn to volume to max and still had a hard time hearing it – too much of people speaking over one another, too much echoes, no video of speakers to assist. I can only imagine what the rest of the typical bcms group – 20 years my senior on average – could hear of these bits! You need better mic-ing, better editing and why not video only sound?
