Schumann - The prophet bird
This is the next thing I am gonna tackle as soon as I can.

I heard Radu Lupu perform it in a lunar, liquid way, such as the bird was in fact a jelly fish.
They say that Aldo Ciccolini is extremely good at playing that, making it look like a "colibri", a hysteric, brainless bird, as a prophet bird like the phoenix is supposed to be.
I would like to let it emerge that the second part actually is the bird's prophecy of prosperity, and let the two side-parts be mysterious, nasty and smoky as they deserve to be. In the first and last part is just an unintelligen and witched bird - and the God is not yet/no more speaking through it.
This is a typical "easy" piece that it is extremely easy to play with arrogance and impotence. I find the end spectacular - extremely difficult.
Good luck!
Un petit cadeau schumannien pour toi, mon lecteur!
