On a Chopin favorite, the Ballade No. 1 in g minor...
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.

Interesting choice of opening music for 5 minutes on Chopin.

[@ArsyxGaming]

I was thinking exactly the same thing ^^, "I'm pretty sure this is the first movement of Moonlight by Beethoven..."

[@p1anosteve]

Yes I laughed at that. Chopin was not keen on Beethoven's music (he thought some of was ugly). I'm sure DB had nothing to do with title music choice though.@@ArsyxGaming

[@AWWYEAHHHHHH]

@@p1anosteve How do you know chopin felt that way?

[@p1anosteve]

Read "Chopin Prince of Romantics" by Adam Zamoyski. It's a thoroughly researched and really engaging bio.@@AWWYEAHHHHHH

[@AWWYEAHHHHHH]

p1anosteve thank you for the recommendation. I just got into classical music last year and Chopin has become my favorite composer so I’ll look into that

[@fivezeroniner]

Welcome to Chopin *plays Beethoven*

[@marcosorrentiakaditirambo9306]

Lol I just thought the same thing. Wasn't going to post anything'bout , but. I like to keep in mind the greatness of his music knowledge, his huge-musical undertanding, so you can let he show you the compositor's intentions, instead of mark you the thecnical path to follow.

[@MiorAkif]

Thought the same

[@giaky200012]

Yeah I exploded in Laughs when i read your comment HAAHAHAHAHAh

[@trevorpsy]

According to listeners at the time, Chopin was an excellent interrupter of Beethoven. Can you imagine Chopin playing Beethoven?

[@danmozartino2864]

Completely diferent. Other brain wave, diferent sentiment, diferent music. Both wonderful but so - not the same.

[@pengyigu7164]

Dear maestro, 5 minutes is way too limited for this grand promenade

[@Skyhawk8282]

I fully agree with you, my friend. This piece has so much content within its score that it deserves more analysis by grand maestro Barenboim!

[@MusicFilmArt_UteNeumerkel]

I would also suggest to let away the opening part, not least because of the poor wonderful Moonlight sonata movement that in the long run will be worn out.

[@bryanlin8333]

I would definitely watch it if he makes an hour about this piece and go through every/most detail.

[@JoePalau]

Pengyi Gu agreed. The harmonics, the shift in keys and resolutions, tonal shifts and colorations, his phrasing - all fascinate the listener. This is Chopin’s magic and romance for me. Only if maestro would give us a peek into Chopin’s charm and magic ....

[@serteres32]

He only superficially described what one clearly hears. No insight whatsoever.

[@bigollameo]

There are many masterclass lecturers and presenters. So many of them talented and well worth of the cost of paying attention to what they have to say. You can have them. I'll take Daniel Barenboim's commentaries every single time.

[@Sergeevoleg]

Please, make it at least 10 minutes. It is very interesting. Thank you.

[@LiviuAndron]

5 minutes is perfect for a larger audience, I think, it is a (lone) coffee break. Besides, there is not much more what you can say in ten minutes. Anyway, this series is fantastic.

[@musikalitet]

We want more more more.... what about twice a week. and also more about deconstruction rytm harmoni and melodi etc. more more more more .More more m o r e and I could be More Often .

[@musikalitet]

I have been thinking about deconstruction: melodi rytm, rytm harmoni,(harmoni melodi ) all week, to understand it, and I want more more more m o r e, more more.. More Often. My suggestion is it could be More often... But beautiful 5 minutes...... 60 minuts... ha ha ha . There is masterclass and so on to see, but this is something s p e c i a l.

[@giannidavinci7961]

First of all. I love your new piano. It sounds incredible. I hear exactly what you are talking about. It's alive with sound. I would love to hear you play my favorite song Chopin Raindrop prelude.

[@erinlivinghouse6056]

We need more! 5 minutes is far too little when talking about such grande pieces in the classical repertoire. Please make these 10 minutes.

[@renan5786]

152 likes and you talk like that to Daniel Barenboim wow

[@chirashidon3672]

10 mins is too short. Please make these 100 hours 😂

[@erpollock]

I first encountered Daniel Barenboim at the Tel Aviv Mann Hall when he conducted the Israel Philharmonic in Mozart, playing and conducting a piano concerto, which amazed me at 20 (I was 20, he was 28), a young and compelling man, married to Jacqueline du Pre. It was 1972, before the tragic turn their lives took. He then conducted my chorus in the Mozart Requiem. I remember him vividly the first time I saw him play piano and conduct from the piano. How time has transformed him, and me, but I love his introduction to this famous Ballade. And then the dramatic finish! Yes, I have enjoyed this short episode of Chopin's Ballade! It brought back such memories. Earliest memories of performance.

[@chazinko]

It's amazing that although Mr. Barenboim speaks and plays in front of a camera, the result is a very comfortable, personal communication to the viewer. Bravo!

[@LukeFaulkner]

Several years late, but I've enjoyed watching this series of bitesized lectures.

[@Aaa-3705]

I’ve seen a lot of your comments on videos about this ballade :D

[@therobertguy2436]

[@tiemensikma2806]

Hey Luke. I have seen you i the comments of many ballade 1 videos. I think this is a really special piece for you. Atleast for me it is

[@AsrielKujo]

@@tiemensikma2806 for me it's ballade 2

[@MrInterestingthings]

This is a gift . A light gift . All of you people asking for more ned to do your homework . Doou know how many books the are on Chopin . How many on his music . How many on his harmony and piano notation ? This music is over 150 years old . Don't be lazy , misguided or informed . This is a gift from a world -amous musician it is not meant to take the place of analysis or even a programme note . Charles Rosen's Romantib Era is a good place to start !

What an amazing pianist Daniel Barenboim is A true Maestro His Interpretational Skills are phenomenal!! The G Minor Ballade is one of Chopin's Greatest Works Sad that this wonderful video was only 5 minutes long!!

[@Dustyholes]

He plays this without even having to look, incredible

[@Thiago-px9ev]

He breathes music, what would you expect? Barenboim is a truly master

[@luizfranco3867]

To understand Chopin balade, those felings into a very strong soul must be alive into. Chopin is amazing composer. Master Barenboin provides that. I dream on studying with him !!

[@vrbusinessbrokers-mergersacqui]

Daniel, I love how you play this ballade with precision and expression, and with just the right pinch of rubato.

I could spend my whole life hearing you playing and explaining what music is 😮🙌🏼 grateful for your generosity

[@lecturesonquantumfieldtheo4240]

Once again I say this: what a pleasure to be a blessing to share this with Barenboim! Beautiful connection with the music! Can't believe I hadn't seen these gems before. Thank you!!

A video made 6 years ago, and yet first time I come to watch this. This would have been such a great relief to watch during the plandemic.

Long live Maestro Barenboim. 120 years:)

I’m so grateful to have found these wonderful videos from one of the greatest living musicians of all time.

[@micheleveillet3781]

J’aime beaucoup l’initiative généreuse de M. Barenboim qui n’hésite pas à nous faire profiter de ses connaissances musicales, mais si je peux me permettre cette petite remarque, la ballade est un poème de la période médiévale, la balade au sens de la promenade ne s’écrivant qu’avec un seul l .. Mais merci encore M. Barenboim, j’adore cette ballade n° 1 de Chopin, c’est aussi pour moi la plus romantique des balades, entre ombres et lumières, mais toujours dans le sublime ..

[@tomryan6461]

Moved to tears, Maestro. Wonderful to hear and to have such a brief window on the process behind these great works. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

[@bfrank7509]

Surely there is more the maestro could tell us about this piece. The 5 minute format is far too limited.

[@granddaddy_funk]

Bill Frank perhaps... If it were a Beethoven sonata

[@serteres32]

But even in five minutes he said nothing.

[@prem-raj5651]

@@serteres32 check out my comment I will adding more notes

[@ericaatkinson816]

Maestro can deconstruct the intricate story weaved within these scores like no other. Every time I watch one of these episodes, something he says about the music is something I've never considered...even on pieces I love and have listened to many times. Such a treat to watch this. I wish they were longer!

So helpful Mr Barenboim - I could listen to you firstly playing and then talking about music, for ever. You have given so much of yourself giving absolute joy to many, many thousands of people. I can speak with authority as I am one of these beings! I once saw you in my home town of Chichester in West Sussex at the Chichester Festival Theatre where you played the Schumann concerto conducted by none other than Dietrich Fischer-Diskau. I came to the green room after the performance and you and he were very generous with your time and your comments. Thank you Daniel once again.

[@akirafukuda6923]

Chopin Ballade No.1! It worths 5 hours to talk about.

[@charlesdavis7087]

Dear Daniel; I never realized how filled with affectations your playing really is. Obviously, there's a great difference between sincerity and an imitation of sincerity. Thanks for sharing.

[@patricepimoulle8548]

Yes i enjoyed... admirable. L'intelligence de M. Barenboim est de donner a la musique une signification concrete accessible a tous. On comprend que l'oeuvre a un sens, mais que ce sens est inaccessible, en quelque sorte "esoterique". Or pour s'elever, on a besoin d'accder a ce sens: merci. Accessoirement, on decouvre que M. Barenboim est aussi un homme de theatre, de telle sorte qu'il apparait la continuite entre la musique et la pensee. Admirable.

[@mecasullo]

Cuanta generosidad espiritual, hacer estos videos, aun para los que no somos musicos. Gracias.

[@SethNoorzad]

I love your way of putting it that a musician performs as if he were improvising, under directions from the composer. This piece, in particular, is so so alive in that way. The form of it is really magnificent, the way Chopin explores the thematic material.

[@kalildasilva_]

This piece is all about nostalgia, a typical "non ti scordar di me" like the mad scenes in the Bel Canto operas.

[@NebelmondDso]

The last part gets me every time. This is my favourite piece on the piano. Thank you so much!

[@samroberts9910]

The introduction is a way of giving the impression the composer is looking for what he wants - blew my mind!

[@cfpaulaneto]

Besides the fact that Daniel is one of the most important conductors for a long time, it is also a best performer at the piano; I have several recordings and video footages of his concerts. Argentina give us two great pianists, Daniel and Martha.

[@DanielBowen1]

Pictures at an Exhibition would be a great piano piece to explore!

[@alexandrugheorghe5610]

Yes.. Chopin. Countless of hours of frustration at his work desk trying to get every single note precise in order to create the illusion of the improvisation. A genius. I put him in the very first alongside with C. V. Alkan. Thank you for these series.

[@bobbyboche9025]

This is one of my fav vids. Thank you Mr. Barenboim, I can't wait to get good enough to play this piece! Really one of my favorites

Cet homme est extraordinaire ! Avec des mots d'une incroyable simplicité il dit tout, en moins de 5 minutes. Merci Monsieur Baremboim.

[@Friendlyfaschist]

I feel that this very straightforward way of talking about big music justifies all the hype that surrounds classical music. I am very happy to relearn why I like Chopin!

[@thomaslindvall2144]

Wonderful lesson. The dramatic part of the ballade always makes an impression. Have listen to Chopin since i was 12 years old, now i am 70. Thank you! Victor Vidovic even plays it on classical guitar, Quite interesting how love of Chopin´s music can influence a guitarist. If you don´t play the piano, you must play it on the guitar and express your love of the music.

[@jdjdjddj]

A sad yet beautiful piece. Definitely one of my favorite chopin pieces

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Fantastic, Thankyou!

Thank you for this. I only heard the piece today in order to watch this video. These videos can be five hours instead of five minutes and I would be just as eager, if not more so, to watch them. I think I speak for everyone in saying that an upload of you playing the entire ballade would be a treasure.

I've always considered the 4 Ballades the pinnacle of Chopin's music and the G minor Ballade the pinnacle of the Ballades. And since Chopin is generally considered the greatest composer of piano music, I guess that makes it the greatest composition written for the piano. I play this piece and it's certainly one of my greatest thrills at the piano. In emotionally depth, it's like playing Wagner. Thank you Maestro for all these highly enlightening videos. I love them. Cheers!
