Cyprien Katsaris | Chopin Masterclass Vol.3 | Fantaisie-Impromptu

[@chopinfanclub6672]

Her name is Sachi Gina Kobayashi and she is a professional pianist now. Absolutely surreal seeing how she looks now and this 1993 video. Internet is great in moments like this.

[@philipconding4262]

She looks like Kris Aquino when she was young

His explanation is accurate, concrete and easy to understand. More than anything, he is affectionate for his students. That is, it is the starting point of every education.

Ez ? I got not idea😂

[@TheMarmite09]

The imagery and the way he aligns the imagery with the music is so profound. Genius.

[@Spartakus68]

I think he uses the imagery he has in his mind when he plays it which helps him get out the colours he tries to put out when he plays the piece. Really impressive

[@RolandHuettmann]

I am playing the piece myself. Wonderful instruction here. The deeper the student goes into practice, the more beauty unfolds. My teacher was strict: Start left and right hands separately and play very slowly for a longer time. Use left accords only without playing sixtoles when starting both hands. Once left and right are mastered by heart separately then introduce polyrhythm carefully. Do not use pedal in practice at all but play an extreme legato in left hand. Every tone must sing by itself. Keep rotating hands and release tension in each half circle. The lighter hands become, the better the sound unfolds and the faster and more even hands can play. Enjoy listening and practicing. Chopin is a treasure.

[@eXTreemator]

Too strict i say

[@deadlysquad13]

Thanks for this instruction, it sums up this video!

[@raniadahayu1412]

Wow how long did it take

[@stefanast1981]

This is piece is not for me yet. Perhaps in 2 years time. I will keep in mind your advice.

[@RolandHuettmann]

@@raniadahayu1412 By no means I would claim to have mastered it, but to learn it by heart, it took me about three months with a regular 1-hour practice per day. To play it really well enough it takes much more time. Imagine at least a year for an advanced student depending on practice hours, talent, and a good teacher at hand. Even leave it aside for a month or two and then come back. Hire a teacher!

[@Wander2Wonders]

Man, I cannot imagine how hard it is. play the note alone is soooo freakin hard. Now, she learn the "feel". Both of them is awesome!

A wonderful teacher and a very talented student who absorbed everything he was teaching her.

[@ztc2589]

What a beautiful memory to be shared with the world. Mr. Katsaris’s impact can still be felt on any viewer of this video today. Sachisan was already a polished, poetic pianist at this young age in 1993. My best wishes to both musicians and thank you to the poster of this video.

He is so incredibly considerate and respectful! Master classes can be an exercise in humiliation with the master basically flexing the whole time. Not so here. What a wonderful mentor!

What a talent for teaching!! Music as a emanation of feelings.....Absolutely amazing

[@francoisasselin4183]

En général, je n'aime pas trop les masterclasses; mais avec Cyprien Katsaris, ça semble être une belle expérience. Il est extrêmement courtois, modeste et raffiné. C'est un merveilleux pédagogue semble-t-il.

[@pablo_tt]

Amazing teacher, wonderful student. A perfect class!

[@arlettehellemans2117]

Katsaris, great pianoteacher, great pianist, charming person. This Fantaisie-Impromptu was the favourite composition of his father...

[@amjan]

Nah, he's just like any other piano teacher on that level, come on.

[@ばか-t8x]

amjan katsaris isn't just a teacher. he is also a virtuoso pianist. in my opinion, he is one of the greats.

[@mariemtrigui4207]

amjan whatttt no he’s not all my piano teachers suck and are nothing like him

[@davidbee8178]

This is an outstanding example of how a true virtuoso like Katsaris interprets a piece of music - whether the young girl (who is so advanced for her age!) decides to interpret it, as Katsaris does, in the future should be her decision but what hopefully comes across as a true treasure to her (and ALL of us here) is that trying to "image" the composer's intent is paramount in trying to convey emotion. Whether we interpret EXACTLY as the composer intended is perhaps not always entirely possible but at least if there is an attempt at portraying an image or story, then a musician has a chance to convey an emotion rather than just stringing a whole bunch of notes together. Emotions conveyed is true artistry while notes that are just played, is well . . . just playing : )

[@sherryannjunkins8624]

He is teaching her to "play with passion" well done

[@PianoturtleX]

[@sapereaude9737]

This man is a pure artist! The way he speaks with all these mataphors.. and you can see when he is diving into his imagination! And this girl is also so good on the piano! I am 19 years old and cant imagine playing as good as her! I just hope her parents have´nt forced her to play the piano

[@sonero05]

it is a melody that fills my soul and with this master class even more, the girl has a great talent congratulations

[@789armstrong]

Katsaris is among the very greatest pianists that ever lived, yet his posted videos do not have a truly high number of views, suggesting audiences are more interested in charisma than true genius.

[@John_oR.]

This is just lovely to watch. Katsaris is very good at giving instructions, and the young pianist is very receptive to them.

[@stevenpm6150]

That change that occurs around 3:10 is amazing. Sometimes it just take some outside perspective to help things fall in place.

[@cellokratzer]

....he knows what he is doing and how he is doing it - great video!

[@firosuke]

It's funny when he's saying "be more angry" 😂 not something you hear very often. This video is amazing. I never liked this piece so much before, but this elevated it to a new level for me.

[@DomskiPlays]

Wow his advice is amazing it really makes such a difference

[@javieramundarainvitali7525]

We enjoy here the essence of a music class: to transmit and to receive the knowledge of performing music respecting the style of the composition and communicating the feelings of the composer and the performer. Thank you for posting this video.

I really wish the other recorded masterclasses were in English like this one (or at the very least, had translating subtitles). This is just a treasure.

[@ashketchum707]

thank you, after 1 week of trying, I actually did :))

[@AngrySkipperGC]

It's an incredibly tedious task to be able to get the polyrhythms 100%. I remember when I was first learning this over 12 years ago, that was the biggest challenge. After getting back into piano this year, relearning this (as one of my favourite pieces) I remember how much bloody time I originally put into learning this.
