András Schiff - Bach. French Suite No.3 in B minor BWV814

[@FlexingClassicalMusic]

The melodies of classical music are an endless wellspring of inspiration. From gentle notes to grand symphonies, each piece is a musical masterpiece, unveiling a world of creativity and sophistication.

[@AlfredRaddatz]

Thumps up if you first heard the Menuet (08:57) on Tetris.

[@ezhumbug]

Alfred Raddatz Ahhh it satisfies me

[@ichqici1999]

He has such beautiful tone quality and sense of touch; exquisite voicing.

[@alexinphx1411]

3:15 I'm pointing out the dropped left hand here only because I want to highlight the masterful control and adaptation that comes with performing from memory. You don't even notice anything went wrong if you haven't studied the piece yourself. I'm not trying to point out a fault, rather I'm trying to point out a virtue. So many young musicians seem to think hitting every note is what matters. It's not! It's the whole vision for the music and the ability to handle the unexpected when it comes.

[@stelastic]

Great comment - I just noticed it myself and thought the same thing - it's about the vitality of the performance, not the necessity for 100% accuracy. We're not machines, we're musicians! Interestingly, you can see his left hand tremble just a bit over the F# following the dropped note where he recovers. I'm all for taking changes over mechanical "perfect" playing.

[@haiyuc]

@@hehehe.27 please excuse me but - WHATTTT-

[@nikolai5012]

Great catch and comment. I 100% agree. Nowadays, all these music competitions make music into an exercise of playing notes the way the "musical authority" prescribes. But music is nothing more than the expression of the performer within the structure defined by the composer, so I hate it when people say this or that way is wrong.

En fait quand j'entend ou écoute ça [ 0:05 ] j'ai tout simplement envie de pleurer et veut me prosterner devant la grandeur de l'œuvre, la grandeur et la sensibilité de artiste et avant et après tout devant la GRANDEUR du SAINT CREATEUR de tout, tout simplement - et dire un grand pardon et un plus grand MERCI!!!

[@ngocduytran6668]

This piece comfort me ... :(

[@marionkoetse3985]

could it maybe comfort you and so many because it's in B minor ?, His Masterpiece The Hohe Messe is in many parts in the same key

[@Amanwhohasagoodear]

​@@marionkoetse3985I could agree as it is almost my favorite key aftet the E Minor which is also I see the most comfortable to hear, also I see a lot of simularities between the two keys.

[@davidrauhcello]

G/D BLESS GERMANY AND SIR PROF ANDRAS SCHIFF FOR THIS ALLEMANDE - AMEN WEAMEN!!!!

[@gatbos]

I love Bach's music. The melodies and harmonies sound so perfect and in orrder to me.

I know this is an old comment: Yeah the Gigue is hard :/ I want to relearn it sometime so I can learn the whole suite. If you are going to learn it: Have fun!

[@JohnMcCulloch75]

The minor bit of the prelude is, for me, the highlight of this suite and an absolute masterpiece.

neither of the pieces are hard to learn but performing is very difficult, he makes it look very easy, when its really not.

[@jeffreykaufmann2867]

why would performing be very hard if the piece isnt hard to learn?

[@waffleman-]

@@jeffreykaufmann2867 it's easy to learn which keys to press in what order but the musical interpretation and expression are very difficult. There's more to playing than pressing the keys.

[@patrickdamien]

He seems to have messed up for a second around 3:18

[@violatione]

Leatherndevil He totally had a brainfart there!

[@want2be420]

Yes, that part of the courante has a very strange and difficult passage that invovles a wild fingering change. I'm willing to bet that's why he messed up there. The first section of this courante is very difficult, and he messes up exactly where that fingering is. On the second repeat, he plays through at a slightly more cautious tempo

[@61pieces]

If the speed is at .75 it sounds like tetris

[@mrpancake7965]

Yeah but if i would mess up like that i would stop playing he gained control back so beautifully

[@patrickdamien]
