What would you suggest for the notorious accompaniment to Schubert's "Erlking"? 😊

The rubato in slow motion makes me seasick!

That last one would make a great doorbell.

That’s not b major scale on her right hand

Debussy =/= Ravel, because Debussy < Ravel

Thanks master.

I didn't know Moses played the piano

good god made us musical, and gave us the opportunity to reach to music, because we are the ones who live the entire meaning of universe , with just musical part of life.

Very cool

Just some jazz

You've never heard Bach, Bernstein. Though you have succeeded in taking a shortcut to thinking.

Brahms does it in the Romance (118-5) too. He marches right up to the D-minor (the death chord). But rather than jump into the grave, he plays D-major and goes on an arcadian romp through the woods. "Not ready to die yet."

새롭네요 꼭 우아함안에 방귀같아요....ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ(욕아닙니다.)

Growing up, my love for Rachmaninov fully developed in no small part of a William Kapell/Robin Hood Dell symphony recording of the Paganini Rhapsody.

Just had a wonderful time with this video. Jed’s admiration for these competitors musicianship… when it’s deserved.. is touching. Of course, the humor by you both is the icing on the cake. Many thanks.

A part of me "knows" the guy calling out the moods was in on it and that she had at least a year to work all this out. Still impressive...

The curling of the Second finger worked, thanks

It shows up a TON in that ballade so I go super basic and voice the melody and phrase with the bass like Garrick, but sometimes I'll emphasize the tenor or alto depending on my mood when I get to one of the repeats.

Robert :" some of the funniest people i know are pianists..." Well none of them are here, what a bunch of people with no sense of humor, you need to draw and grab their hands like a toddler so they can understand that it is a historical joke.

Trump messed with time.

That sounded so bice

What piece is this? I've heard it before and ik it's by Liszt, I've just never played it.

He's telling the truth; his playing, however fails to do his explanation justice. I believe that phrasing requires some sort of momentum. It should be perceived as an object of considerable mass bouncing (in short: those moments of rubato should occur elsewhere in the phrase)

I love Gould but I still love this video

Josef Hofmann said why are those pesky scales so difficult, in fact one of the most difficult things on the piano! And boy did he know how to play them!

What’s the name of the piece?

This video talks about things I like: food, physics & music.

Absolutely wonderful!! Thanks so much!

what about finger staccato from the keys 😍

Basically. Sharp shifts are jarring before, during and after music.

Thoughtful playing, almost like you’re making it up as you your playing. Constant discovery. That’s what he’s saying, I think.

I don’t think it should sound so rehearsed though. I get that this is an example yada yada. However, playing rubato and dynamic ebs and flows with such rehearsed feeling is, to my ear, worse than dead metronomic playing. It’s a sin that every pianist finds themselves leaning toward at some point in their career. If that’s you. Stop.

Cziffra’s playing of this piece is super fun.

Thanks for this tip. I’m always struggling with repetitive notes or octaves

As a classically trained pianist who also plays stride piano, I can see the limitations of this ... try Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" sonata with its big leaps in the first and third movements and see how fast this will get you hurt if you do not spend as much time practicing what to do when you do not have stepwise motion in octaves!

It is an E flat minor with added six - Ebm6 - with the third in the bass, so - Ebm6/Gb - and the top voice has a D flat, the seventh of Eb minor which advances stepwise to the seventh of the following F dominant seven chord; in normal notation Ebm6/gb - F7 which is a Phrygian cadence. The sharpness comes from the C clashing with the top voice D flat; that is the Ebm 6th clashing with the Ebm 7th above. However, an Ebm6 - F7 is a common Phrygian cadence.

I feel so sad seeing the life i couldve had if my parents actually cared for me and hadn't hurt me :'(

Every now again, Bach threw in harmonic concepts hundreds of years ahead of their time. His understanding of harmony was absurd.

Good point! 👍

Boris is cute❤

Im hungry for spaghetti now how did that happen🤔

Hi kissinger

If Dorothy Taubman and her students do have the knowledge of "how to play", why the heck are the most important recordings and stages are full of musicians like Horowitz, Rubinstein, Richter, Gilles, Ashkenazy, Pollini, Benedetti-Michelangeli? After I received my solo-diploma from the music conservatory after a few years I decided to quit my music career . So I went to Medical School and today I'm a qualified general surgeon. I didn't play piano for more than 20 years and meanwhile I found my wife and since I am privileged to have a satisfied sexual life, I'm absolutely relaxed. Because of my profession, I don't have that much time to practice but meanwhile I can play Rachmaninov IIId piano-concerto, Goldberg variations, "Petrouchka" or Brahms Paganini-variations. I don't rehearse each day but if, never more than approx. one hour. And it works. When I was a piano student at music conservatory , I practiced way too much and I had serious problems with my hands. And I observe that too many "pianists " are residing in our entire world but only a minority of musicians. My access to music was the knowledge and history of composers and their operas , a sufficient sexual life and no more pressure to earn my money with it. This may appear like a "strange" approach and I only can talk for myself. But it works!

Does someone know which recordings they are using for the pieces on the background? I especially liked the Op. 15 No. 2 Nocturne in F-sharp major, so delightful...

Recently got to see him live playing this piece and it was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever gotten to have

Seymour plays each work reverently as if it is a fine piece of china that must not be damaged. Gould played each work like a new land that needed to be explored.

"That's enough"... it certainly was. Dreadful.

and they all seemed to use different approaches to play their scales 🤔

I gotta try this! Playing this for a recital

I dont listen to classical but Rachmaninoff sounds like madness. I Love it
