Yesterday, I redeem from my sin (of not having a single recording of
Beethoven Late Piano Sonatas) and bought the DG double with Kempff playing
the last four. After another listening to Op. 111 I felt the same. After
the slow introduction of the II. mov., there is a section in the arietta
where Beethoven makes a random voyage through the major scale (I am sorry
if I can't explain this better, but my technical knowledge is diminute).
Being not a major jazz music fan, I find that result very close to that
genre of music. I don't know if this make sense to you or not, nut that's
what I feel. What is funny is that my girlfriend and a friend of ours felt
exactly the same, even before you share the the comments. That friend of
ours didn't attend the concert, he knows the music through Brendel.

Guess I have missing something, haven't I? I'll try to change this in a
near future.
