thanks for this cool presentation! I found the comparison of cadenzas to authors writing prefaces to each other's books very illustrative!

I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved this piece. As a pianist, seeing this played in Ben’s style is something else. His style is so aggressive and ethereal that it entraps me endlessly. From the first time I saw this video about 3 months ago(when I discovered this channel), I just assumed he was some alien bc he’s so good at piano. Every time I watch this video, I always rewind certain parts without fail because it’s just done so well! This recording in particular has been weirdly calming on me for the past few months. Might’ve been one of the few things that kept me glued together enough to walk across that stage and into the real world today.

Mi aspiración es llegar al nivel de como tocar el piano, parece tan simple, pero sabemos que no es simple! Admiro tu gran trabajo! Me gustan tus interpretaciones! Me llena el alma al oírte! Ojalá puedas llegar aún más lejos!

That Godowsky tune is a fantastic example of why copyright, if it exists at all, should be much more limited in its time scope.

I'm so glad that artists like Rachmaninoff are able benefit from their extended copywrite, even today! Afterall, the lengths of copywrites were extended to benefit the individual artists, right? right?

Wonderful performance! Question- what size piano are you playing? And what size is the one pushed off to the side? Just curious.
@insearchofthemuses4 ай бұрын
It's a Steinway Model A, so about six feet long. The other piano is a Mason and Hamlin, slightly longer than the Steinway if I recall correctly.

I really liked your dynamics. I had feeling in last movement that you played two manual harpsichord.

Thanks! Glad I was able to make that effect come across! Now if only I actually had a piano with two keyboards...

This video was on my recommendeds. I know close to nothing about classical music or music history but I have quickly subscribed. I love how you share the stories behind the pieces and the artists. I thought this would be a list and a quick sample of it. It ended up being so much better 💕It is unbelievable wholesome that they would name their compositions after friends or people they admire. That is way too cute. Now I want to read a historical fiction book about queer famous pianists who are secretly in love with each other and name the same specific part of their compositions after the other. Does the other ever find out it is out of love? Do they become “best friends” or do they love from afar? I do not know. If a book like this exists, please feel free to leave recommendations 😅

That is an absolutely brilliant interpretation of the Italian Concerto. I've heard and listened to it hundreds of times (if only I could play it!). Meanwhile, you have a great energetic presence and mastery at the keyboard, but if you smiled a bit, it wouldn't hurt!

First time your channel gets recommended to me, and from just this one video your skill and passion for music is clear to see! Beautiful playing and super insightful how you went into the backstory for each piece! I especially loved the story about Villa-Lobos and the piece he composed for Rubinstein :^) you’ve earned yourself a new sub!! uwu

You're very welcome! You have to wonder how Bach himself might have scored it had he chosen to write it as a normal concerto... strings, continuo, a couple oboes, maybe violin as the soloist?

Been to the Nashville Parthenon. It was at night so we couldn't go in but it was sort of a surreal experience. Hard to describe but I too am glad it's there. Especially because I don't see myself being able to go to Greece anytime soon.
