Aram Khachaturian - Album for Children, Volume I for Piano (1947) [Score-Video]

[@IvanaSimunovic-zw4fl]

Khachaturian - one and only,my the dearest composer❤

[@pantoleonantonio9653]

if we ignore the fact that these are children's pieces, we realise that the pieces are filled with amazing harmonies, melodies and writing

[@danal81]

Why would we ignore that?

[@redfishplayz4476]

i really like the first one, its very romantic-melancholic-elegant

[@kristinamusik7414]

Or Maybe it is pieces about children.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

@@kristinamusik7414 Oi. On second look, It is both, apparently , as one realizes, reading the song titles. You are correct Kristina! Thanks.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

@@danal81 "curious how you thanked a woman" Really, Danny, you need to stop fantasizing about the extent of your clinical psychoanalytical skills, and your own willingness to waste time indulging in protracted troll shoots. Get a life indeed, said the kettle to the pot.

[@ollysundeiy]

I think all of you with opinions on these pieces being made for children should acknowledge that children also have deep emotions and can feel music and appreciate and understand music with depth.

[@GNGianopoulos]

Well said!

Thanks Vincenzo

Thank you very much.

[@kenneth1767]

Where was I as a child? Digging holes in the back yard. So happy I found music, albeit much later in life.

[@nathanHazlaha]

When I first heard these pieces by accident I did not know that they were childrens pieces, and I really enjoyed the amazing harmonies and melodies, still think its much more than childrens etudes

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

So beautifully played here! I make a proposal: these pieces are for those adults who take lessons because they have a piano no longer played by anyone. This music may have more to say to them than to their children. The music is sophisticated and begs for someone who has experienced childhood--not for a 12 year old still experiencing childhood.

[@yuugaimenheradoll]

I like your analysis and I partially agree, but I think it also speaks to the emotions that children cannot express just due to lack of experience or education. Or, perhaps the emotions of a child in conflict (whether internal or external). Regardless, these pieces are beautiful and sophisticated and reflect childhood in a different light than what I've seen in other pieces.

[@sarahsteinhardt1697]

I think you two folks would be surprised what child musicians are capable of! I’ve been teaching these sophisticated and gorgeous pieces to not particularly gifted students throughout my decades long career. The music brings out the best in them and some play it very beautifully indeed. Don’t underestimate the depths if young musicians.

[@yuugaimenheradoll]

@@sarahsteinhardt1697 yes!! You're so right! I neglected to say that I disagreed with Steve's proposal LOL. I meant in my (admittedly wordy) response that these pieces would speak to a child just as well as they may speak to an adult. I played Ivan Sings when I was younger and it's still a favorite for me 💗

[@fatalite225]

It's so precious and deep

[@zarapapazyan4580]

I have played Andantino when I was 7 years old ❤

[@WesCoastPiano]

Khachaturian, master of the chromatic.

[@xtrememate]

Beautiful interpretation of this book, I using as a guide.

[@anhducduong0105]

Some pieces are played too fast imo

[@goharatoyan8274]

My favourite Andantino, which I played at music school.

[@PianoExplorerHungDo]

Thank you for the video!! Such beautiful little pieces, I really love the first one, so much sorrow.

[@ronl7131]

Gonna’ look these up. Thanks! Good short compositions.

[@holliethomasmusic]

Thank you for posting this. A few years I searched and searched for this full collection, but was unfruitful. Happy to find you!

[@domodepiano]

That little Etude sounds so Kabalevsky like to me, hot dang it's a cute little thing

[@anhducduong0105]

No. 2 sounds like a wander into the childhood past. It's hard to describe the feeling.

[@harrissimo]

Why did they change the name from "Adventures of Ivan" I loved that name. I played this when I was a kid.

[@joaquindelgado3167]

Una pasada. Realmente un compositor por redescubrir...

[@alejandrom.4680]

Joaquin Delgado Khachaturian es definitivamente un compositor bastante tocado y escuchado en el ámbito académico por quienes estamos dentro de la música impresionista. Más que redescubrir, habría que compartirlo al mundo fomentando concertar sus piezas

[@ruperttmls7985]

La primera melodía (Ivan sings) fue un ejercicio para pedal que mi maestro de piano me puso de niño. Hoy en día casi solo toco Bach, Scarlatti, Haydn, etc... pero vine para escuchar las demás melodías del libro de Ivan a ver si hay alguna que también me guste para practicarla, para mi si será redescubrirlo... 🤓

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

the first one is really beautiful, sounds brazilian . The second is for quarantine

[@dacoconutnut9503]

What do you mean by "sounds Brazilian"?

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

they were influenced by the europeans, but the inverse may be also true in 20 century

[@joycedelrosario2218]

5:24 i'll greet my friend/s on their birthday with this piece and not the traditional birthday song

[@upsideken9385]

That's a good idea! I think I'll do that too. Thank you for good suggestion!

[@jean-francoisdaignault9612]

At 5:24 (Birthday) does anyone else hear Poulenc?

[@pantoleonantonio9653]

agreed

[@johngosling1]

Poulenc, Prokoviev, Ravel, Prokoviev! Khatchaturian was amongst that special group of composers who have a very special affinity with the piano.

[@langnae]

Indeed.

[@sophiesophie4496]

Très belle musique... Je la connais depuis longtemps, il faut que je retrouve la partition...

[@perjus]

Oh this brings back memories.

[@LukeShalz]

This may be intended for a child’s abilities (I can sight read it), but the music can only be understood by those who have lived long enough to endure some tough shit.

[@Angelo-z2i]

I don't want to downgrade this music, but I feel some of these pieces are a bit gloomy and dark. I'd certainly pick "happier" music to teach.

[@LukeShalz]

@@Angelo-z2i I agree. The music is wonderful, but the wistful nature of the pieces just go over their heads sometimes. I teach at a nonprofit that serves a lot of underprivileged kids though, and I have found that pieces like the andantino of this collection and the Bach 999 C minor prelude, although gloomy for some, are very therapeutic for many kids.

[@fjdyyh2542]

Liking your nickname

[@anhducduong0105]

Agree, I feel a bit nostalgia and melancholic when listening to this, especially the first 3 pieces. It's like a wandering into the deep old past memories...

[@ulengrau6357]

No. 2 is basically SNES-era RPG dungeon music.
