I recorded this piece long time ago, but never uploaded it to my website. Schumann’s ‘Bunte Blätter’ are rich and colorful musical gems, of wich I love the fifth one the most, but listen yourself:
Schumannn, Bunte Blätter Op. 99, V. Langsam.
My father has written beautiful variations on it for a small orchestral ensemble: J. Gedan, 21 Variations by a theme of Robert Schumann, Op. 21.
Recently I lost some files from my webserver and got lot’s of mails like this one:
There appears to be a broken link on the page, http://www.gedan.net. Someone was trying to get to http://www.gedan.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/scriab22_2.mp3 from that page. Please take a look and see if this can be fixed.
Finally all files should be back right now. If you’re experiencing any missing files on my webpage, you should be redirected to a 404-error-page and an email should have been sent to me. However you can leave a comment here or write me an email, if you need support.
As you might have seen allready, I’ve changed the layout and design of my website. This was due to an update to a more decent wordpress version and the incomaptibility of the old theme.
In combination with this update, as you might have seen too, mostly all of my recordings have been removed from the server by accident. I’ll bring them back up as soon as possible. Please give me some time to compensate, what went wrong during update.
I’ll also try to do some details work on layout and design and experimenting with plugins, as far my ideas will reach. If you’re experiencing anything unexpected, it’s most certainly me playing around.
La cathédrale engloutie (The Sunken Cathedrale) is a prelude written by Claude Debussy (1862 – 1918) as the tenth prelude in a series of 24 (split into two volumes).
Prélude Op. 22 No. 2, c# minor
Aleksandr Nikolaevič Skrjabin (1872-1915) was a russian composer and pianist. Skrjabin’s compositions are heavily influenced by the music of Frédéric Chopin. The Préludes for solo piano are evident for this influence. Given here is a recording of the Prélude Op. 22 No. 2. You can find the sheet music on imslp.org (Préludes Op 22, sheet music)
Please make sure to backup important files before starting the upgrade process. The upgrade should work without problems, but for your own safety: Backup your datas!
Update 2009-05-24: Please read the comment from Paul W. Frields (Thank you, Paul!) regarding the upgrade process before following this tutorial. I recommend you to wait until Leonidas is officially released and to not use the Rawhide-branch. (The procedure will be the same as mentioned here, but without the “Display unstable test releases above” check box setting.)
As you may have seen from the banner I’ve installed on the upper right at my webpage, Fedora 11 Leonidas will be here in the next few days.
All of you using Fedora 10 right now and who can’t stand the wait to upgrade to Leonidas there is a way to upgrade today to the last snapshot of the yet unreleased version of Fedora 11 Leonidas.

Recently on youtube I’ve encountered a channel called Midwest Young Artists. These channel is presenting young musical talents. They all seam to have great technique and musicality (so watch the channel if you’re interested into this), but three of them apealed my special attraction: The Trio Vita. Especially the communication between the three musicians and the understanding of the musical structure, great sense for melodic lines and polyphonic movements. This is so dazzling what they are able to do at their age.
Unfortunately there are only three recordings avaible at youtube (wich I like to present you here at a glance; don’t forget to visit the youtube channel, too). I’d really like to hear more of them.
