I get the impression that this will be difficult. Thankyou.

😢

Why is there pedal from 0:29 to 0:32? I personally think it's odd considering the other repetead bits don't have pedal but I'm just curious as to why you use it?

thank you so much for your video. I am self taught since 1 3/4 year and currently learning this piece and this helps me soo much. It makes so much sense and for me it is too hard to realise how to create those lyrical and emotional sounds, but with your help I do understand it much better and only after some minutes it already sounds so much better. Thank you!

Thank you for your instructions sir.

Thanks so much, the tutorial is really helpful, I am leaning this piece and it helped me to improve on phrasing.

That was brilliant.

I love how he translates his approach and offers a very understandable analysis. This gentleman is a true teacher. ❤

Beautifully played, my mother used to play this, now I shall try.....

Omg I was stuck on this for literal weeks thank you so much this helped a lot!!!🫶🫶🫶

19:52 thanks!!

"Triplet accompaniement all the way through ..." Why are the notes writtem in groups of six? Some pianists play a combination of triplets and sextuplets. Any thoughts on this?

When he met Beethoven in the streets of Vienna, feeling inferior, he would look down not dare to look at the rock superstar of the era. It turned out Schubert is every bit as great as Ludwig, if not greater having so much obstacles and having half of Ludwig’s life time of composing. Hail Schubert ~~

I learned a lot, thanks a million.❤

Wow, thank you for the fingering tips from 17:40 on!👍👍👍👍👍

My favorite Scarlatti . . . .

Excelente! Obrigada!❤

No matter their musical structure, The works of Johannes Brahms are Autumnal! Lots of low, congested harmonies, alluvial melodies, and rolling, unhurried, even rhythms. And what could evoke the last light of one's day, or endeavors, or possibilities than to wobble, pause, even stumble over barlines, as though one's baance, or confidence, or memories (according to a frien, anyway) is hesitant, lost on an expextation like the kovluest, saddest appoggiatura since Rameau looked last out the same, late afternoon window?

I can’t do the octave note because I’m still 9 years old 😢

This is a wonderful performance of a very lovely piece by Brahms. Thank you, Clive.

Спасибо МАЭСТРО!

On the subject of mastery at young age, how do think Mendelssohn compares?

If you want to learn Debussy, I think "La Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin" is a better piece to start with.

Excellent analysis/tutorial and is also my favorite SVR prelude!!! I am sometimes lukewarm about some of SVRs recordings and interpretations of his own music (EDIT: Though, I am thrilled to have recordings of SVR in the first place and I should not be so spoiled!). However, his recording of Op32 #12 is the best interpretation and phrasing I've ever heard!!! I wanted to ask for clarification RE: the Opus 19 Cello melody ( @ 03:30 in your video): You weren't speaking about the slower 3rd movement, were you? The second movement does have some really long and beautiful Cello lines interspersed within the more energetic passages. But the 3rd movement Cello part also has a very long beautiful melody it carries. I love BOTH!! I very much enjoyed this video, Thank you!

I got it just speeding it up now ❤

What about the left hand fingering in measures 9-13 esp is you have a small hand

Thanks for your wonderful job. Just signed for your channel. Odessa, Ukraine

Fantastic tips. Been playing this piece as an amateur on and off for nearly 50 years and never had insights this good. Thanks 😊

Nice video. Unless I'm missing something, T R L R L R is not a palindrome. You'd have to stick a T on the end, but that is the start of the next sequence.

Very nice. This will motivate me to 16:38 go back playing this. I’ve always loved Brahms. There’s a story behind this. I started taking lessons at the age of 55, after being a hack on the keyboard for years. I tutor calculus. A man, about my age, came for lessons. He was quite eccentric and wanted to study engineering for an unfathomable reason. His name was Billy Brahms. He claimed that his 90 year old mother was the daughter (or granddaughter ) of Brahms’ sister. He never explained why his mother kept the last name. After his mother died, Billy just disappeared. This was circa 2005 on Long Island. Struck by the coincidence, since I was singing his Requiem with my chorus at the time I met him, I decided to try to memorize this piece. I did - but have hardly touched the piano for the last 2 years. Listening to this will make me go back to the piano. Thank you.

You can hear exactly what Debussy thought. Listen to his piano roll that he claimed was a perfect reproduction. It’s available. People now play it very differently.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m currently learning this piece and stumbled across this. Cheers from Dallas Texas.

Thanks so much, finally understand what I’m doing wrong now that I see you play it

Thank you!!! Very helpful 🙂😃

Perhaps the best thing he ever wrote, but I have never heard a recording of it that I really like! Boris Giltberg is close. Any recommendations?

GREAT teacher, my compliments. Anna from Rome, Italy.

This video is awesome, the interpretation really helps alot, very thorough! Thanks alot!❤

F shatp MINOR? An idiot, methinks. Thos guy knows nothing!

I love your interpretation. I’m actually playing this piece for my first diploma, and I find your advice extremely helpful. I can play the melody well but the ornament were very muffled. I understand to keep my fingers very close to the keys for the ornaments. I will go through all your advice, it’s like à piano master class on line. Thanks so much. I don’t think it’s hard to memorise though.

maestro, i love your dark scenario with the husband grumbling about the wife always moping and then he wanders off to his own more important business, and the wife wonders about her lover, and is consoled--all the more need for the plot of marriage of figaro--seriously, clive, great stuff for pianists who work on this piece

very very glad to have found this swansbourne channel--this video on the schubert gb impromptu a wonderful lecture-demo, so smoothly, conversationally presented--and he didn't disturb the swan disguised as a duck napping in his studio

your piano needs a brush-up.

This is such a great tutorial, I keep coming back to it as I progress through the piece. There is some ambiguity in the score at times, particularly in terms of dynamics, which you clarify / interpret very well.

Thank you so much for this. I don't play myself. I seem to remember hearing this when I was very young ,maybe it was a teacher practising in my junior school. Then a huge gap of years before I heard it several years ago. It's so beautiful. For me Horowitz playing it in Vienna was amazing, he hardly moved his fingers.

Excellent analysis!! Thank you so much!!

I've worked on this truly gorgeous piece for about 12 months now. But listening to your video gives me so many other interesting ideas to think about. And all presented in such a clear and calm manner. Thanks so much 👍

You mentioned C major? would that be C sharp?

Now make a new video and play the whole piece without interruptions please please please !!! Thank you very much, sir. By the way thanks for the good pedal tutorial.

This was great. Currently learning the piece. Some good insights. 👍
