Piano Elisabeth competition in Brussel

June 1, 2007 at 11:05 AM

I was with a friend 1 day in Brussel for the first round. Later I visited twice the 2th round. In the hall I found a statue of JENO HUBAY, the composer of my weblog. For promotion I use his name in MY weblog www.violinist.com/blog/jenohubay, because his 3th violinconcerto opus 99 is the best violinconcerto I know.

I + idol JENO HUBAY

again

I am a bit afraid that HUBAY can become deaf, so I use my earplugs and also that he does not hear all the music that he has not composed that they play nowadays of other composers.
Also I found another great idol of me HENRI VIEUXTEMPS

I am a bit afraid that VIEUXTEMPS can become deaf, so I use my earplugs and also that he does ot hear all the music that he has not composed that they play nowadays of other composers.

I found even VIEUXTEMPS_BEER in a restaurant where we ate between the midday and evening session.
HUBAY has written the orchestra part of the 7th violinconcerto of VIEUXTEMPS after his dead.
Also there was a statue of CHARLES AUGUSTE DE BERIOT in the conservatory, but we did not make a picture of him.

Scott--he was awesome, I've heard him briefly on scratchy old recordings. Real flair and virtuosity. Didn't care much for Bartók's music though, and I've never quite forgiven him for that. ;-) (Maybe that's what Bram is helping to block out with those earplugs.)
