Karmen Grubisic - Glenn Gould School Audition Introduction

[@eastsidewestside5518]

The emotional vulnerability in your voice warms and entrusts like that of a hearth and fire of where we first huddled together to tell stories, you remind me of that. Sincerity is not to be taken lightly, smart!, use that which cannot be taught :)

[@CarlosAcevedoMX]

Excellent introduction. It's true, Bach's music has so much hidden content that tells a story, and it takes a lot of dedication and hard work to show its real beauty.

[@bwv232]

Thank you! I do my best, and I still have a lot to learn.

[@jaspernatchez]

So insightful and so young. You are an inspiration.

[@bwv232]

Thank you so much!

[@reallynotpc]

I now have another musician's career to watch. I look forward to seeing what you do.

[@bwv232]

That is very kind. Thank you!

[@scoutpark5230]

Here here!!

[@jacobschatz]

Congrats on getting in! Good for others to see what a successful application looks like!

[@bwv232]

Thank you, Jacob!

It's extremely rare to see a young lady to have so much love for classical music here in US... well never mind you are from Europe and that's why! 🙂

[@johnlyons4147]

I played piano all my life not with this skill level but still have a love for all classical and instrumental music. In my opinion only about 2.5%-5% of people can even comprehend the mind behind the music and develop a visual story in their head. That's why 200 years later we still listen to it.

[@remuspierre7573]

Good performance

[@donmiller6569]

I'm an amateur (I play as a hobby) classical pianist and I stumbled upon this channel from your partita. I was very surprised, I assumed I'd found another amateur based on the subscriber count. But it's pretty clear from your playing you're a professional pianist, you play delightfully. I was then very stunned I could find no other information about you, but it appears maybe your career is young and just starting. I'm guessing this is also your personal channel. Anyway just thought I'd share some words of encouragement, I look forward to seeing you progress far in your career. I really enjoyed your Waldstein, I only wish I could play it as well. Keep it up!

[@DavitMinasyan-rn3fv]

you’re very right , bach is a mind that till this day people are struggling to understand the meaning behind his music or even just how he wrote music such as 5 voice fugues. congratulations on being accepted!

[@vjseomlol546]

You are so adorable and talented. Big fan!

[@asmodeus3738]

Congrats on being accepted! Cannot wait to hear the melodies you are to perform!... and create?!?! :)))))

[@azhatssss]

glad you made it!

[@mrsmokpiano]

In Bach we trust!

[@bwv232]

Indeed!

[@claudio.heizer]

Bach, Gould, a Telecaster with humbuckers, something that looks like an ukulele but could easily be a "cavaquinho", violin, resonator, twelve strings and a vitrola....Couldn't be better.

Mlada damo, slušao sam jedan od Vaših videa i jako mi se svidjela svirka. Pitam se ipak jeste li rođeni u Hrvatskoj? Ako jeste, imam osjećaj da bi ste se primjerenije izrazili da ste rekli da dolazite iz Hrvatske, nasuprot onoga što jeste rekli - da su Vam roditelji iz Hrvatske. Jer sa svojim talentom, Vi ste svakako i kulturni veleposlanik svoje domovine. Ako sam nešto krivo shvatio primite moje isprike i svakako Vam želim puno uspjeha u Vašem umjetničkom radu.

[@Credo1911]

I am Happy for you. DON'T ever give up.

[@laurenth7187]

There is also a piece named "Ah vous dirais-je Maman," from Mozart... i think one should listen to Mozart's symphonies much more. Regarding composition, Mozart uses much Theme-development-theme, and Beethoven is more dialectic working with opposite themes, but... the developments by Mozart are so fine, alas too short and i'm always sorry to hear them end... while Bach uses more variations, if you think about a fugue, or a Toccata. The development by Mozart is a sort of variation too, exploring new harmonics...

[@bwv232]

I completely agree with you. I too wish Mozart's developmental sections of his sonatas lasted longer. It is always so interesting to see what direction he decides to take.

[@amp4105]

so cool

[@laurenth7187]

Bach can be best understood against, for example Scarlatti. There are no defined stories in Bach, which you could put in words. That's why he composed music, not books.

[@bwv232]

Thank you for a great point. You're right, music cannot be put into words. It communicates in a different dimension. Even musical notation is not music. It takes a living musician to create (interpret) true music out of mere notes. Music is a different kind of communication. The best music is a story: heart to heart, soul to soul.

[@emilianosb6541]

I am from Argentina and I am in love with you.

[@ockeghem8841]

Congratulations! Who will you be studying with?

[@bwv232]

Thank you! I am studying with James Anagnoson and Li Wang.

[@die_schlechtere_Milch]

you should not rest your 12 string guitar like that against the wall. It can bend the neck.

[@thagirion9761]

I'm sure it will be fine.

[@ivvan497]

brate šta ćeš u rvackoj, ljudi bježe van u dojčland a ti bi vamo haha

[@Scutage]

Your voice is shuttering like you’re about to cry💀

[@Par-Crom]

stupid comment 101

[@Whatismusic123]

Glenn Gould school? you trying to become the new peak of incompetency lol? I'd rather grind my head against a wall than learn from that guy Edit: oh okay it's just named after him, that's good

[@guitaristdotcom]

Yes on story-telling! This is how we understand the world and existence itself. All the best to you!
