Barenboim was inspired to create a new piano after playing Franz Liszt’s restored grand piano during a trip to Siena in September 2011. Struck by the vital differences in sound of an instrument constructed with straight, parallel strings rather than the diagonal crossed ones of a contemporary instrument, he set out to create a brand new instrument that combines the best of the old and the new and offers a real alternative for pianists and music-lovers in the 21st century.

[@jeffsmith1798]

When I first played this piece, I was amazed that 32 variations were created from an eight bar theme. Beethoven’s ability to develop a theme is unparalleled.

[@silviabeatriztenaglia1231]

Beethoven es magnífico y, la ejecución y sentimientos expresados con delicadeza y vigor por el Maestro Daniel Barenboim Barenboim nos ubica en la intimidad y cultura beethoveniana de manera espléndida, realista.....

[@mariaevasantisi8110]

Dear Maestro, I was a devoted Arthur Toscanini follower, Horowitz, Martha Argerich and few others until I watch the 9th symphony once!, and I knew you are the best. I have never seen such a passion before!. Bethoven is a very passionate composer and Daniel Barenboim is a very passionate too. It is just perfect for me!. Thank you Maestro!!!

Hello Maestro Daniel Barenboim. I am sitting here drawing a portrait of Jackie which I started on her birthday. I decided to put on music she performed with you as inspiration and found these wonderful talks you give on music. I would love it if they were a little longer. I find everything you talk about, so very interesting and enlightening. I am a cellist and a portrait artist and was a friend of Jackie. We met in Toronto in 1967 when I was 17 and wrote to one another until she could no longer. I always had hoped to study with her but timing was bad. She was far to busy to teach when I was a student and after she became ill, I had started working professionally. I treasure the letters she wrote me and the memories, especially the recital in Canada where I turned pages for you. How blessed and honoured that made me feel. Thank you for all you do and the wonderful person you are. Please, could you talk about the Goldberg Variations. I love them so much! Respectfully yours, Christine

[@nadine1875]

Wow, what a lovely letter you wrote to Maestro Barenboim, Christine. It was extremely interesting to me. Hello from Burlington ON Canada, April 30, 2019.

[@haroldomiguelforcillo8608]

Grande Daniel. Tu aporte a la musica es inconmensurable, y estos minutos grandiosos para la difusion y el acercamiento de los grandes compositores a los que no tuvieron la suerte de conocerlos.

Such fun to listen to this wonderful music played by a such a great maestro. Wish you could persuade Lupu to do a few 5 minute pieces with the two of you doing some 4 hand pieces by Schubert.

Grandiosa esta obra Maestro!!!Muchas gracias. Podría hablar de alguna visión fugitiva de Prokofiev o algo de Rachmaninov .?

[@roryvps]

Thank you so much for your wonderful mini-expositions such as this one. Although I risk imitating your late grandmother, I ask you to consider featuring '5 minutes on' ...the piano introduction to the Adagio movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto 23. As an intermediate standard adult learner, I love playing these 12 bars and would value any insights you could share - Rory S

[@enriquesegura6206]

Gracias Maestro por compartir su experiencia. Es un placer! ¿Acaso tiene previsto participarnos de sus pensamientos en relación a alguna obra sinfónica? Unas preguntas: ¿Cómo estudia usted una obra sinfónica? ¿establece alguna prioridad al momento de encarar este trabajo? Muchas gracias!

Greetings, Mr. Barenboim. I'd like to know your opinion about the role of cinema and soundtracks in modern/contemporary music, and also what is your favorite movie score. Thanks in advance and congratulations for your wonderful channel. P.S.: My lil' sister loves you. She even has a teddy bear called "Daniel" because of you!

[@shivshankarmenon2160]

Can we also have episodes on Beethoven’s Diabelli and Eroica Variations? I’m sure no one will complain if each episode is extended to at least fifteen minutes, if not longer.

[@mariorodriguez215]

Muchas gracias por otro gran vídeo. ¿Podría hablar del Impromptu op.162 en La bemol de Franz Schubert? Muchas gracias por su atención, Maestro.

[@horaciomillan4181]

Durante mucho tiempo mi pieza favorita para piano fue la balada en sol menor de Chopin, hasta que escuche el arreglo para piano que huzo Busoni de la Chacona para violín, en un concierto de Pía Sebastiani. Podría darnos su opinión, tanto sobre esta pieza como sobre cómo se realiza una trnascripción exitosa, más como esn este caso, en el que el original ni siquiera es para teclado?

[@charliecrcc3859]

Maestro mi nombre es Carlos Carmona y quisiera pedirle que nos hable acerca de las variaciones Goldberg. Le mando un fortísimo abrazo desde México y le agradezco cada segundo de sus videos.

[@meiangie]

Question: does one keeps one tempo throughout the whole 32 variation or can one have independent Tempo changes in every individual variation?

[@piano1500]

It's up to the performer, but generally unless the composer specified tempo changes, the tempo is assumed to stay the same between variations. Beethoven didn't specify tempo changes in these variations, so most performers assume the tempo is to be constant. You can contrast these variations with his op. 120 Diabelli variations written 13-17 years later in which he marks the tempo/character of each variation. You can also contract these variations with with his op. 35 Eroica variations written 4 years earlier in which he has some tempo changes, but not on most variations. Again, most performers of these variations keep the variations the same tempo unless indicated otherwise. At least that's my 2 cents worth.

[@newwavevirtualstudio]

[@nealabbott6520]

What Beethoven does with the 32 it seems like Brahms does the same thing, if not similar, in his 4th Symphony

[@SpaghettiToaster]

Neal Abbott How so?

[@nealabbott6520]

in the 1st movement, and especially the 4th, the main theme, if you will, is a chord progression over which Brahms improvises a new line with each iteration.

[@SpaghettiToaster]

Oh I see now, thanks!

Would love to hear about Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words.

[@erichetherington9314]

Bonjour Maestro. Parlez-nous donc un peu de la sonate D845 en la mineur de Schubert, l'une des plus belles ! Et encore plus sous vos doigts. Un grand merci pour tout.

[@wiltzu81]

It so sad that the 32 variations isn't more popular work. It has been one of my favourites since early teens and I still love it. I like to listen and play myself it together with Bach's chaconne as they are so good pair together: Both have stricking start, they start to grow from nothing, then comes sadness, and that is followed by hope and joy, but closing to end dark clouds starts to surround both of them and they end in tragedy. Thank you maestro Barenboim. You had a huge impact in me when I was teen and fell in love with Beethoven's music. I remember from nineties when I saw you with Berlin Philharmonic and Itzhak Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma playing first the Triple Concert and then the Fantasy, opus 80.

[@darkstudios001]

Why should it be more popular? Beethoven himself hated it.

[@wiltzu81]

@@darkstudios001 I doubt he hated it, but in later his life he noted that he had been crazy for composing it and "what an ass" he was then. But most of composers anyway come their worst critics for their own works in their later life. So it does not surprise. Many composers have even made alterations to their earlier works. Beethoven had those issues with some works. For example, Beethoven wrote Fidelio three times before getting it to version that he could accept. Also I doubt he in his later life really liked the works let say from late 18th century compared to musical language that he had developed in later parts of his life. Self critizism can be devastating. Finnish composer Jean Sibelius did publish quite modestly in later life. It is well known fact that he burned many of his compositions at Ainola's fireplace. Also he is good sample of self critisism from his most famous work Finlandia: He absolutely hated that people were signing it but had to admit: "It is not meant to be sung. It was made for an orchestra. But if the world wants to sing, there's nothing you can do about it."

[@normannize]

40 minutes may be a bit too long. It's well known that only the first 10-15 mins of any lecture is absorbed by an audience. However, I agree that 5 mins is much too short - how about 10-15 mins Daniel?Norman

[@hoyyali1594]

Still playing genius........

[@SteveL2012]

I was never very interested in my piano lessons as a child until I discovered Beethoven. I couldn’t articulate it then, but the profound sorrow, isolation and profundity of his music resonated with me dramatically over all the other composers I had experienced. I agree with Maestro B, good thing he defied his grandmother (although I agree with her that Mozart has his own level of divinity). 😄

[@alfredomontane578]

GRACIAS MAESTRO BARENBOIM.

[@leonardolebas6453]

Maestro, would you please talk about Debussy's music?

[@qclc23]

Maestro, When you were in the RDS Hall in Dublin many years ago, I seem to remember you playing the 32 Variations, but I may be wrong that it may, in fac, beent the Eroica Variations, Being a little older than you my memory could be faulty. However my memory is accurate in recalling how I and the audience were overcome with your performance. It reminded me of my reactions to recitals by Solomon and Cortot also in the RDS. Thank you for a lifetime of pleasure listening to your recordings and KZbin performances, and particularly with Jacqueline, Itzhak, Pinchas and Zubin and so many others. You must have been the first to succeed in performing Wagner in Israel. i recall being in the Mann Auditorium when Zubin Mechta tried to encore the Siegfried Idyll, but only started the first few bars when there was uproar from the audience. I am sure you may remember this happening! Shalom. Quentin Crivon (an unserer!)

[@pianowolferio2726]

Im sorry... i think this video was made thinking maybr more about a general audience.. maybe non musician type?.. id love to hear him talk more about his own mind than making an approach for a larger group of people.. for instance i sure loved the masterclasses!! To see him talking trully about music is so inspiring!! Anyway... he is the greatest there is .. most definetly!!

[@jdbrown371]

1:30 That should be e flat in the scale, not e natural. It the scale before the sf chord. c - d - e flat !!! - f sharp g (c minor) Sforzando a flat (f minor chord) It must be an e flat in the melody. E clashes with the e flat in the left hand chord. My least favourite Beethoven piece anyway so he can play the wrong notes for all I care, just not that one!

[@codonauta]

The unique set of CDs I have with all 32 Beethoven´s piano sonatas is that one recorded by Daniel Baremboim. I recomend it, it is very good. About the Beethoven´s 32 variations in C minor is very surprising that Beethoven never published it as an Opus. It is just the WoO 80. It seeems that he disliked it for any ocult reason.

[@JordiFranchParella]

Thank you very much to Daniel Barenboim for his most authoritative (coming from authority) remarks about Beethoven. I'd like to ask him not about his impressions of Beethoven's works, but more about his inspirations when playing Beethoven. I mean, all the world knows the prodigy and portent of Daniel Barenboim playing the piano. I think that he first performed Mozart's 23rd Piano Concerto when he was only 8 years old. Es casi un insulto a los que hemos dedicado años de nuestra vida al estudio del piano, sin llegar al nivel que él ya tenía siendo un niño (este comentario lo digo en voz baja para que nadie pueda oírme). Mi pregunta a Daniel Barenboim es sobre sus pianistas de referencia al interpretar a Beethoven (o Mozart). ¿En qué pianistas se inspiraba más el genial argentino? Para muchos amantes de Beethoven, un servidor incluido, ha sido Wilhelm Kempff. Cuando Daniel Barenboim comienza a interpretar Mozart o Beethoven, ¿cuáles son sus puntos de referencia o de inspiración? Y si me lo permite, una segunda pregunta. Usted interpretó Bach hace relativamente poco tiempo. Cuando supe que había registrado su versión del Clave bien Temperado, corrí a la tienda a comprarlo. Lo escuché de tirón (Bach es mi compositor favorito). Me gustaría escuchar sus impresiones acerca del gran maestro de la Thomaskirche, Johann Sebastian Bach. Gracias y saludos desde Manresa (Barcelona), donde Ignacio de Loyola escribió los Ejercicios Espirituales en 1522.

Sr. Barenboim, gracias. Gracias de corazón por estas magistrales y gratificantes muestras de su conocimiento musical. Visualizar estos vídeos es un placer y una fuente de conocimiento. Igual que considero que hay compositores, como Mozart, que superan lo humano y entran en la categoría de seres sobrenaturales, también hay intérpretes que son absolutos genios cercanos a la divinidad. Y yo soy ateo pero reconozco que algunas obras solo se explican desde la condición sobrenatural de sus autores o intérpretes. Para mí usted es un dios, un ser sobrehumano. Gracias infinitas.

5 minutes on the Bach Goldberg variations would be great ! I was wondering why in kzbin.info/www/bejne/pomlcqyamMapmsU , in the beginning of the second part of the first Variatio, you played a f natural instead of sharp as indicated on the score.
