5 Minutes On... Beethoven - 32 Variations (C minor) | Daniel Barenboim [subtitulado]

[@AryaKrishnan]

Lovely! Every Classical Pianist should have a youtube channel!

[@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!!! My mind and heart can only

[@rodolfo2529]

5 minutes!? Please make it 55! Artists like Barenboim have so much information, it is a joy to hear them explain us about music, composers, instruments etc. We want more sir!

[@Chopin4321]

thank you, beethoven represents to me more than any other composer ...infinite willpower....eternity....nature....please talk about the last sonata....its final silence after the music is gone is just out of this world

[@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."

[@alfredomontane578]

GRACIAS MAESTRO BARENBOIM.

[@aliarmani8905]

maestro barenboim has a really special relationship with beethoven's music - you can notice the difference on his face when he plays beethoven

[@EcstasyJesus]

I would love 5 minutes about Bachs Italian Concerto or Beethovens Appassionata Sonata.

[@KerimWirthSuperLps]

He talks about the Appassionata with Lang Lang. Search for "Barenboim Masterclass with Lang Lang".

[@aliarmani8905]

i have watched those already -

[@joncaju]

I don't really see any difference on his face, which by the way looks like Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars.

[@JeffreyPizarro]

Please five minutes with the art of fugue of bach.

[@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). 😄

[@LarsHolmVV46]

Thank You for sharing Your thoughts - they count. Your intepretations (for my ears) of Beethoven are second to none.

[@NicholasWingComposer]

Yes, very much appreciated. Thank you, Maestro Barenboim, and please continue with your musical analyses of Beethoven. They are a gift of a master to posterity.

Maestro, I love everything ❤️ you play, specially Bethoven!!!

[@patrickwatson368]

Five Minutes on Chopin Nocturne Op.9 No.1 In B flat Minor would be fantastic! Love this series

[@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!)

[@ysimon10]

Fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to create these short commentaries

[@Robcrankey]

Excellent! I remember the pleasure of meeting you in Berlin after a superb concert where you directed the Berlin Staatskapelle in Beethoven's 3rd concerto from the keyboard in between conducting the 1st and 8th symphonies. BTW, your classic EMI and Teldec recordings are being reissued in a big Warner box this November. What a treat for Christmas!

[@delaineharvey5177]

Love, love, love the thirty-two variations!!!!

[@AleksandraSapok]

I have watched all episodes of "5 minutes on..." during the one evening. I really enjoyed it and found a lot of new inspirations. Thank you Maestro, I hope you will continue those videos one day.

[@jorgehernanbetancourtgomez7455]

Maestro quiero expresarle mi profunda admiracion por todo lo que me ha aportado con sus interpretaciones magistrales. Siempre he tenido la confianza que es la manifestación más perfecta de la forma como Beethoven queria expresar su música. Es usted el más grande interprete de la música de Beethoven en la historia. Mis respetos. Saludos desde Colombia.

[@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.

[@irisbruzzone1466]

Gracias por las clases maestro. Que Dios lo bendiga

[@christinenewland386]

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.

[@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.

[@emilie8978]

Maestro, toujours un bonheur de vous entendre ! Pourriez vous, pour de grandes pièces du répertoire , consacrer plusieurs épisodes afin d'aborder l'œuvre dans sa structure et sa construction , son histoire et son interprétation ...Je pense à la sonate pathétique ou l'appasionata de Beethoven , les variations Goldberg, de grandes symphonies .....Merci d'avoir éveillée ma curiosité sur ces 32 variations .... Que je vais m'empresser d'écouter !

[@antoinetteduplan2151]

[@franciscogarza9870]

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.

[@JorgeSilva-oi7jj]

Sr. Maestro Barenboim, seu sangue quente Latino é compatível com o que é exigido pela execução dessas 32 Variações de Beethoven, seu temperamento está em perfeita harmonia com essa música. Grave toda ela mais os comentários e explicações necessárias, conforme é feito em sua Master Class.

[@stevengevirtz8992]

Meastro Barenboim, Thank you for your contribution, especially in the forum. Will you elaborate on the great Diabeli Variations, and will you record or even perform op.120? Kind regards, S. Gevirtz

[@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.

[@TheSoul168]

Hola maestro, al estar ligado durante tanto tiempo a Beethoven podría hablarnos un poco mas sobre sus sonatas, o incluso como este vídeo ha ido orientado a las variaciones, podría hablarnos también sobre las variaciones del ultimo movimiento de su sonata numero 32, haciendo un vídeo mas extenso.

[@edentonpat]

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.

[@aichitrading1248]

De un gran admirador suyo. Creo que la mayoría de los que apreciamos la música del piano tenemos una fijación en la las cualidades de interpretación, emocionales y entendimiento musical del solista pero poco se habla del sonido del instrumento. Tengo entendido que la afinación y el temperamento del piano es un tema un tanto tecnico pero antes de tocar una pieza para piano en una sala de concierto o estudio de grabacion o competencia, desde el punto de vista de un concertista profesional como usted, cual considera la forma mas correcta de proceder: 1- El pianista dicta la afinación y temperamento que require al afinador. Es decir, se coordina la afinacion al deseo del solista para no cambiar su forma de tocar misma que no cambiara ante cualquier circunstancia. 2- La tonalidad de la pieza a tocar define la afinación, es decir, a cada tonalidad le corresponde una afinación y temperamento predefinido ideal. (Desde luego, entiendo que es impráctico afinarlo siempre antes de usar) 3- El pianista se adapta al sonido, al espacio y su modo de tocar es diverso, se déjà influenciar por cada piano con su afinacion correspondiente? Muchas veces independientemente de la interpretacion y el lugar, parece que el piano tiene una afinacion que resalta un acorde o una nota , se oye muy pura a comparacion de las otras, luego en otros pianos, esa misma nota no suena igual déjà de ser notable porque el sonido ha cambiado. A manera de ejemplo, quizás el técnico eligio la frecuencia de LA 440hz como base, será que si lo cambia a 432hz la música se vuelve mas soberbia y el sonido será mas penetrante para el publico?. Me pregunto si habra algún método o afinacion perfecta, universal y predilecta por los pianistas. Gerardo

[@juliodubini4867]

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.

The variation concept, reminds me a lot of the bach chaconne in d minor, or moreso, the chaconne style, with continus bass, major part in the middle, ect

Dear Daniel Barenboim, I'm really enjoying your 5 minutes on Beethoven and I would love a 5 minutes video about Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, op.31 No. 2 "Tempest", especially the 3rd movement. I am playing the piano only as a hobby for 18 years (now I'm 23 years old) and it took me more than half a year to learn this sonata. I am very curious about what you say about this sonata! Best regards, Ivo

Thank you so much for your wonderful mini-expositions such as this one.

[@joaquinpelle2881]

Hello Maestro, I would like to ask you a question: what would you say is the greatest contribution Beethoven has made to the development of music? I would also like to know what you think about whether Beethoven can be considered a rather romantic composer instead of a classical one. Thank you very much.

Can you do an episode about Tschaikowsky?

[@crocshock911]

It would be wonderful if you could talk about something composed by Dmitri Shostakovich! He is my favorite composer because of his complexity and how he maneuvers through different keys in just one melodic line - his style is so unique and very difficult to grasp for my own development as a composer who wants to learn from his techniques. I think that his second piano concerto is a great example of what I like in his style. Can you please make a five-minute video on this piece? Thank you sir!

[@KerimWirthSuperLps]

Zuerst einmal, ein tolles Video, Herr Barenboim! Weil mir dieses Format sehr gut gefällt, hätte ich da ein paar Vorschläge. Ich würde gerne entweder die op. 25 no. 11 Etüde von Chopin, die Hammerklaviersonate von Beethoven oder den 3. Satz der 14. Sonate von Beethoven bevorzugen.
