Franz Schubert - Marche Militaire Op. 51 No. 1 in D by Patrick Tua & Sun Thathong

I'm honoured by my friend, Patrick Tua, who agreed to join me in a duet. He's a marvellous pianist, with his own KZbin channel ( / thettstudio , and he's the one who makes this video.
My rusty piano skills do not match his flawless playing, but I hope you enjoy our interpretation of this lively and uplifting piece nonetheless. All comments are welcome :-)

Oh! This is the song in that really old Christmas cartoon where the elves are building toys in Santa's workshop - did anyone else watch that when they were kids? :)

[@Wul-Lop]

Uniquely excellent arrangement & performance... if Schubert listen to your music, he should be impressed... 🙏

[@NNNNNNNNNNNNNNl]

This reminds me of my childhood! We had an electric Kawai piano which would play this piece on concert magic, and I would always play it every now and then. That and the Emperor's Waltz by Richard Strauss. I grew up on music like this, and always thought that everybody listened to classical music like any other kind of music on the radio. It was only years later that I found out just how unique of an experience the music actually was.

[@emmpty8640]

Amazing performance!!!

Excellent !!!! Right now I'm learning this song and I loved the interpretation they give it, very good execution😁❤

Excelente interpretación!! Autentico, fresco , brillante!! Felicitaciones!

[@Ernesto7608]

Here on KZbin is another version of this March by Lang Lang and Barenboim. By all measures of prestige their interpretation should be superior to this one. NOT SO! There is nothing missing in the playing by Patrick and Sun (only missing is the applause of an audience that paid for a concert), their musicality is as good as that of the others, minus the snobbishness of prestige and some schmaltz that Lang Lang could not refrain from making. The version here sounds more authentic and is a better value.

[@SunThathong]

Ernesto7608 Thank you so much for your very kind words and encouragement! Neither of us has ever dreamed of receiving such praise! You're really too kind. We just wanted the audience to and enjoy different small details of the piece as much as we did, and hence the slightly slower tempo. I'm glad you enjoyed our interpretation!

[@emmpty8640]

Ernesto7608 I agree

[@chelseaa7138]

But, the 'schmaltz' factor is the very definiting characteristic of Lang Lang and many contemporary 'artists' music impressing. How else can we expect mediocrity to rise above genuine, honest noble music making?

[@misstrumpetxiranzhou699]

Sounds really good! Although I heard some wrong notes from 2:30 to 2:50 (should be D# instead of D, and there were a couple of them). Nice performance overall!

[@qiuyushi2752]

Shhhhh. Don’t say anything and nobody will know

[@michaelow-yong7908]

Yes Miss Trumpet, I saw this footage only just a while ago and I heard the anomaly. They're playing in key of D modulate to G. Primo played the phrase "La so la ti do." It should be "La le la ti do." The "le" should be a D sharp. Primo played D natural instead. Primo, please rectify. Regards.

All the best in Cambridge and your legal career too. I actually had sent you a somewhat similar facebook message. Kevin

[@SunThathong]

Hey Kevin, I just saw your message. Thanks a million! I've actually finished my study and returned to Thailand :) Used to have a lot of free time while studying, but not so much now. But will try to gather my artistic inspirations to create new music for appreciative and kind people like yourself soon :-) Thanks again!

[@michaelow-yong7908]

Dear pianist (primo), the 2nd part in G key, you played a wrong note. It's supposed to be D sharp. You played D natural. The correct phrase goes "La le la ti so." You played "La so la ti so." Please check with your music score. Best regards.

Boring! Schubert wrote a masterpiece, and you are butchering it. Unprecise, no dynamic nuances, this should NOT be published on youtube. Go practice in the woodshed!

[@drduruduru]

@@michaelbraun5217 I reacted your comment because of your toxicity. Who cares if you have degrees or not. You should have learned to be humble and not to be toxic before you got your degrees then. As you see most of the comments above, people are happy by watching their playing even though they don't play the music perfectly. Do you think people who "liked" this video can't judge them as you did? Look at them. Look how happy they look while playing the piano. That makes people like this video. They give us good vibes. Ah, ofc not for you. But still, they don't need your permission to upload this video. Even with 1 like, it has a good reason to upload. Don't like it? Then don't watch :)
