I can’t believe that Boston Philarmonic doesn’t care about having a piano in tune for Ben... it’s not too much but it would make a difference. Please 🙏🏼

I could watch Bach music being analyzed and dissected for eternity.

[@Buonarotti10]

So great music is something that passes to the audience's hearts through the player's instrument if played competently (according to the appropriate historical context).

[@SodaPunch]

They need to get rid of the squeaky piano pedal :(

[@Claudia-K]

Unless the squeak is from Benjamin Zander's shoe buckles?? :D

[@TheReficul]

And tune the piano >.> Auch

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Love this performance since it has a unique arrangement and I deeply musicians' emotive/passionate performance. As a composer of original music themes for comics performed on the guitar who trained musically on piano and the viola in secondary and college bands as well as orchestras, I love hearing various instruments to get new ideas for my original music. The musicians' playing did just that with such a lovely musical experience!

How does one attend those lessons as an observer? I am visiting a friend around christmas in boston. I would love to experience this live.

[@lynnrixson1094]

Incredible stuff again Ben !! 😊

[@boriss.861]

Please sort that piano pedal and tuning out....Please please (it hurts and I have an ear like an Old Boot so I was told) right? These Videos are here forever hopefully. A Ben Zander legacy how wonderful.

4:24 Professor...you're actually standing in 3rd position. 1st position is heels together, 3rd is heel to instep.

[@RoxanneM-]

lohphat, true. But he is left footed? 😂

[@sidecarural]

Beautiful, as usual... but please fix that piano noise !!!

[@RoxanneM-]

That morning the least he expected was he was going to end up taking dancing lessons from Benjamin Zander instead. 😁

Handel's Sarabande (orchestra played over PA) potentially is already awkwardly slow for people having to go through the movements. Gigue: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJDMmql9pJ1mitU Sarabande: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZuvhYedq5p5i7M

[@jpdj2715]

It is clear the young man has great musical potential. Zander can talk musicians down by calling them "competent". No doubt, this student had a competent teacher. Astonishingly, competency does not include context (with the basic homework at its basis), interpretation, the theatrical effect of performance, nor artistic freedom.

[@brunopineyro1805]

I play the piano but fuck it. I do would love to have a masterclass with him

[@jennasantos8849]

That viola is the most beautiful viola I've ever heard, wow. It's better than mine!

[@JoshCello123]

Ohhh the end!! Was just soo brilliant! Go him!

[@jpdj2715]

9:04 would have been more the tempo at a court with experienced cocky dancers who want to show off their dancing skills to the others

[@vijolica]

Very odd bowstrokes🤔

[@andrewb9974]

Geez...how about getting a CELLIST to play this? I'll volunteer myself.
