Tribute to a composer genius and a masterful performance the likes of which make one forget this rude politicking dogeatdog world: what a way to go listening to this extraordinarily gifted artiste...
Olga Scheps embodies Chopin's Piano Concerto n° 1
For a pianist who ponders her prey
The taming arms-length erect posture
The torso and pulsating violin back encased in red-rich ornate coarse wrap
Nape muscles strung by swaying grace-groomed arms branched aloft
Pursed lips part for allegro romp
Tensile gushed groin screaming on seat-edge flailing
fingers
Averse to sleek chord whale case under knee-cap check
Who is the Master of the indomptable Mistress
Does the script express and extend the actress's role
Or trundled chords liberate hidden Polish voices
yearning
Cabriole on prairie pastures
The yearling kicking high on the keyboard
Startling the chevron-sinewed munching herd
Light lambs and kids throwing frolicking fits
Round and round the heifer humping high down the
meadow
Stung to the quick half-recurring bars of the theme
The feline fauve now appeased by soft churning cuddles
Pages of screwed signals hung on lined sign-posts
Roused by nut-cracker knuckles
Flush out repartee collective timbre strings
Doused by the sweet-sweating triumphal orgiastic
release
The wilful eyes of the hungry panther
Turn soft and pander to the prey
Is this when the poised moment of the composed kill
Misses the mark just once
The sleek black whale bears its twinkling teeth
in hollow rage
Bonjour, Richard ! I don't know if this will get to you. I'm new to the AD set-up. Besides, would placing a response in the "reviews" box be the usual site custom? I wonder. Anyway, here goes.
First, very many thanks for the most warming reaction to my own responses to both the Chopin concerto and the "dazzlingly" brilliant (rather redundant to say so) Olga Scheps performance. Only one word crosses my mind, and that's a "six-letter word" which shouldn't be enunciated. You are most kind to extend your appreciation of the performance to my own meek and inept words which cannot in the least convey the majesty, might and intimacy of Olga's interpretation.
"indomptable" is French for "untamable" and is therefore similar to "indomitable" in a sense. I just couldn't find the italics directions for the transposition.
I'll have to learn how to find my way about the site. I'll copy this letter and post it together in the reviews box should this go astray - just in case.
I take it you are familiar with the Olga Scheps performance.
Quite the flow of images in this to consolidate the subject matter. Very colorful. That high kick (ballet Noun) - 'cabriole' - on prairie pastures, is an effective juxtapose to a "yearling kicking high on the keyboard." Yes... pianist Olga Scheps is brilliantly gifted. Just curious... In your second strophe, first line, your word 'indomptable' - did you mean indomitable? Enjoyed reading, and deciphering this. You have a unique voice. Peace... r
