I learned to play out just like this young man did. And you know he started out excellent well. In fact I don't know where there is an instance where Liszt himself play his own piece gently. Thought crowds came to him to see him "thunder out" Chopin.

1) The girl sitting behind Moravec is sublime. 2) The yong man is unmusical, Moravec's patience is amazing. 3) The lieu is spectacularly beautiful. 4) Unfartunately, nobody understands the Mefisto walz nr 1. It's a very poor piano solo piece, much better in the orchestral version, or on 2pianos or 4hands! Liszt needed to go to the toilet so he jotted down some sketches hastily before writing the better versions.

1.) Ivan moravec seems so nice. 2.) he clearly explains things, and doesn’t merely speak in vagaries 3.) this student is SO easy to work with. It seems like his teacher didn’t work with him at all on the piece before the masterclass. The playing was so much better after working with him for just 50 minutes.

Excellent performance and a great partner!💖🎵

Who doesn't think this young pianist is playing the piece very much better after this schooling? I was astounded that Maestro said that he could not demonstrate this piece because he didn't play it????!!!??? In other words, all of his suggestions come from scrutiny of the score as compared with how it had been played by the student. I just can't understand how he could do this.

Excellent masterclass ! Francesco has a very creative mind of composer himself . I learned a lot from this class . Bravo to all performers too!

In the passage of the waltz featuring big chords in duplets against the 3/8, I am thinking Mephisto is stamping his feet in madness as he plays on the violin, and on the tirade flourish (notes C#-D-E-F) happening in the low range of the keyboard, Mephisto creates hellish flash-fire explosions to make the partygoers wonder what this macabre character will do next.....my two bits. This happens at least two times.

Since I love the "Mephisto Waltz", and I know the basic concept of the devilish "Faust" legend from the Gounod's opera version (although it comes from Lenau's poetic version of the legend), I am thinking in my imagination that, after the "accordature" of the opening measures (that's Mephisto tuning his violin a few times), the fortissimo C-sharp minor chord for 7 measures later on (after a big crescendo beforehand) probably represent Mephistopheles not only playing "ff" with double stops on the violin, but also creating the magic of fire pillars increasing in number (because he is satanic in character) but only for a short time, to beckon party participants to join in the wedding party waltz-dance, especially as the main A major theme appears for the first time in the right hand.

lovely Alfred Brendel I always respect your interpretation and touching. You are as old as my mom. I wish i would see your concert ❤ a woman from Korea. &*♤

When I played Appassionata for the first time, I listened to as many records as I could, but Mr. Moravec's performance moved me the most. Now,several decades have passed, I came across this video. I'm very happy. If it were me, I would have told that student to stop. Why did Mr. Moravec listen to the end and give advice? Mr. Moravec wanted to convey the heart of music, even if it was just 1%. I deeply admire that spirit, and the work of communicating can often be very difficult, but it's important.What has happened to the students since then?

wonderful concert! filled my heart and ears with joy......🙏🏼

He is not musical at all……

Wynton would loathe at this!!! 😬😬😬

Thank U for sharing ♻️🌿🎶🎖 nj-usa

Genius, Beautiful

The trumperter's last name is Silva. Thank you for making this performance available!

Guess he never played a clavichord😅.......l

Vielen Dank!sehr inspirierend und die Vermittlung von wirklich lebendiger Musik, macht einfach nur Spaß zuzuhören! Jetzt greife ich auch mal wieder zu Bach 😊👍🎹

Braxton being there to see it performed himself is just beautiful

When I put this on in the evening, my kids just lay calmly on the couch and listen to it, till they fall asleep. The music is so interesting and calm at the same time. It's magic.

sodelicious................

Incredible concert! Thanks & greetings from Würzburg. Peace!

Brilliant performance by gorgeous musicians! Thanks & greetings from Würzburg. Peace!

I wonder why the student's teacher sends him to a Masterclass playing this Liszt piece, when he's missing the most basic musical and technical aspects of this work. He probably shouldn't be playing a Liszt piece of this difficulty at this stage of his development. Moravec is so incredibly patient with him!

lfred Brendel sadly misses out great chunks of Schubert's d960 and d946 numbers 1 and 2.

What a beautiful document!! Is there any more masterclasses recorded?

Oh my goodness, what greatness, but we were just getting started, what happened.

I love how every time they cut to Moravec he looks like this is the last thing he wants to be doing. 😂

Splendid. Thanks very much for posting this concert.

Marvelous

Here not only old collides with young, experience with practice, but here cultural circles collide strongly plus emotional feeling for the composers concerned and their biography! Hier prallt nicht nur alt auf jung, Erfahrung auf Praxis, sondern hier prallen die Kulturkreise stark aufeinander plus emotionaler Empfindung für die betreffenden Komponisten und deren Biographie!

Why doesn't he play all the f#'s in the left hand in the beginning (EBF#, bar14+)? His hand look big enough for the stretch of a ninth.

Un Maître... je vous encourage à écouter sa version des immortelles Scenes d'enfants de Schumann, d'une rare et respectueuse sensibilité, humilité et intelligence

Thanks​ for​ sharing​ this​ wonderful​ Master​class​ with​ the​ great​ Master.

Moravec is an excellent teacher with pure focus in the fine piano student.

Great performance! 🎶👏👏
