Excellent. So clear, so unique. Like a new species of fish or something

[@FreakieFan]

Amazing what she does with just two notes

[@lelilleolee]

The C# and D lasting in my mind for a while after the music ended

[@ekilijah9942]

I can't believe you've got the score! This is incredible work you're doing - thank you so much

[@patrickleterme5217]

The design of the covers in your videos is vintagely awesome :-)

[@JohnMassari]

It is very rewarding to listen THEN follow the manuscript. A gorgeous piece.

[@JD_Washington]

what's goregous

[@questsonology]

I don't like most contemporary music but this piece was actually good. The 2-note motif becomes quite menacing over time and the bass drop on bar 72 is quite satisfying.

[@zaiahsaranow8754]

bass drop! saariaho bass drop!

[@lilykoslow1998]

Fastest 7.5 mins I've ever experienced- I feel like it suspended time!

Toujours ce problème d'absence du nom de l'interprète

[@franciskayali]

Roland Pöntinen? (Shazam pense qu'il pourrait s'agir de lui.)

[@Qazwdx111]

This and Ballade sounds like continuation of nocturnes

[@plonplon243]

masterpiece

[@robertoboschelli8455]

Pianist: Roland Pöntinen, maybe???

[@machida5114]

quite good.

[@safasaleh3010]

Reminds me Ligeti

[@JD_Washington]

reminds me why tonality should not be abandoned

[@Qazwdx111]

@@JD_Washington You are right, atonality nor tonality shouldn't be abandoned.

😮

,, support this u tube channel". why? are you paying youtube rent?

[@GNGianopoulos]

Because I've spent hundreds of hours syncing recordings and the scores for free - all for YOUR benefit.

[@marcevanstein]

Seriously, these are an incredible resource that he put together by hand

[@sirfol9557]

Luri Ession you must be very stupid

[@JD_Washington]

Folks, this is what musical theory was trying to prevent

[@Flatscores]

Musical theory handles this material quite well. Saariaho has a much deeper engagement with it than you do. Musical theory also has by now a rich tradition of self-reflexivity and self-criticism in distinguishing between descriptive and normative theory. You should perhaps read some of it.

[@JD_Washington]

@@Flatscores any argument for this is the devil's rhetoric

[@questsonology]

I think Scriabin would have liked this piece, but then again he was the one who composed the Black Mass Sonata, so maybe you're right ;-)@@JD_Washington
