4:29 "usually it's played wrong, like 91 percent of the time" - what a great guy. teach me your sorcery, master!

[@wesgrattler3925]

just this morning I began singing one of his melodies, but luckily my girlfriend reminded me, that I wasn‘t allowed to do so

Then the next section is about playing the same songs differently every night. So, which bit is essential, and which variation is "wrong", sometimes depends on whether they're trying to groom you, or whether it's an expression of ego, or if it's some communication with integrity. Everything is on the table, right?

The dislikes will obviously come from the 9% who play his music correct. j/k, good stuff.

10:08 - 10:30 Wow, that was so profound. Words to live by in any profession or stage of life.

[@annanilsson5235]

What a great person! And so "Calm" it will always remain my favorite ❤

[@williamrobinson1973]

I am fairly new to Mr. Cohen. I am thoroughly impressed with his music and this video!

[@user-rt2rs9yg9o]

[@spartiate6333]

[@maddinfs130]

Noam David sporting so many looks here! Did he cut his hair in between songs??? o.O

[@gabylepoivre]

🤩

[@olegonthetrail]

Please put back Prokofiev's Symphony Concerto. It was best version on all youtubes!

[@Patrick_Bruno]

Wonderful, but frustrating to get only these little bits...

[@cab88888]

It is difficult to discover this video and not being able to see the whole thing. Do you think we will be able to see it one day?

[@hfmfranzlisztweimar]

Unfortunately, we did not have the capabilities to record the entire masterclass.

[@sunz2940]

[@thyowen]

So interesting and inspiring… I’d also love to know the title of the last tune they play, at around 11:02…? 🙏

[@roeeco6490]

אהבה חדשה - אבישי כהן / Shir Preda Both will work, but the Hebrew one is a version with more instruments and the English one is only piano. Enjoy 😊

@@roeeco6490 thanks so much, Roeeco 🙏

[@bilalollivier]

@roeeco6490 @fiddlestix3025 I think it's "Ani Maamin" actually in the album Continuo, the chord progression doesn't fit, and just before Avishai takes a solo we hear a the motif of the theme, hope that helps

[@fiddlestix3025]
