This transcends typical transcriptions. This is a musical adaptation in which I do not feel the loss of not having the orchestra performing it. It captures the essence of what the composer emotionally intended. The flow, timing, the dynamic phrasing, the arpeggios, and the use of the pedal. It is a wonderfully artistic achievement. Thank you for this artistic effort.

Your transcriptions and arrangements are truly the best out there. Please never stop making them!

A beautifully creative rendition of Mahler's Adagietto. I rediscovered this gem when a user by the name of rach3master posted himself playing it and fell in love with the way you've constructed it. All in one hand, you've used register to your advantage and sparingly used extra arpeggios to add variety to restatements of the main theme. The added counter-melodies and chromatic movement near the start of the B section expands upon the character of the section without subtracting from it. In other words, you've written a highly pianistic arrangement without straying away from the purpose and colour of the original piece, and you've honoured Mahler really well, despite the self-imposed limitation of the left hand only. God bless you, keep blessing the world with your arrangement talents and keep playing music.

Превосходная транскрипция! Объёмное звучание рояля, широкое дыхание при невероятно прозрачной фактуре! Сильнейшее впечатление от исполнения! Браво!

今まで私が聴いてきたAdagiettoのピアノ編曲演奏の中で最も美しいと感じた。 雑味が取り除かれ、美しく甘い部分だけを掬い取って味わわせてくれるような演奏だ。 曲の構造とハーモニー進行がクリアに伝わるようになっているのに、音が少ないと思わせる箇所が無い。 何度もリピートして聴くなら、他の両手の演奏より断然こちらだと思った。 素晴らしい演奏をありがとう。 Japanese sorry. It's the most beautiful playing the transcription of Adagietto for piano, I'd ever heard. Impurities are completely removed, and it allows me to have only sweats and romanticisms. I feel clearly the structure and the chord progression, yet I'd never felt unsatisfactory. I think it's far superior to other two-handed performances, especially when listening to it repeatedly. Your performance made this holiday night so much pleasant. thankyou! thankyou!

Wonderful. Peaceful. Beautiful. This man is a genius.

That pedal release point at 10:46 where you have silently sustained the last chord keys seconds before is perfection.

[@KonstantinSoukhovetski]

This is so beautiful! And so movingly played!

[@paulheffron4836]

The camera work really enhanced the overall viewing and listening experience of this very touching and heartfelt piece that was played to perfection.

Fascitating arrangement and performance. But then it is what your can expect from Mr. Gryaznov....

[@lovemypiano111]

Спасибо, Слава. Во- первых, это моя любимая музыка , во- вторых, я давняя Ваша поклонница, была на нескольких концертах и имею два диска. Это изумительно. Часто слушать не могу- реву... кстати, фильм Кена Рассела "Малер" весьма рекомендую посмотреть, если не видели. Любопытные переклички с новеллой Манна и фильмом Висконти "Смерть в Венеции" как раз под это Адажиетто, где великолепно сыграл томящегося дирижёра Дирк Богарт.

[@VyacheslavGryaznovPiano]

Спасибо, Алла! Да, знаю Венецию, а вот за Кена Рассела благодарю - посмотрю!

When a piano reduction of a symphony is too simple for two hands 😉

[@_melzargard]

? You do realize he wrote this piano arrangement himself? He can make it as “simple” (which this really isn’t) or as challenging as he wants :)

Все-таки Малер - странный композитор. Но есть у него вещь, которая, наверно, любого затронет - это 3-я часть 1-й симфонии, понятно, о чем я говорю, где "звери хоронят охотника". Никогда нигде не слышал ее на фортепиано. Или она с этой точки зрения не представляет интерес? Может быть, ее было бы неприятно играть, из-за очень "специфического" настроения? Но вообще вещь очень необычная, и было бы интересно услышать ее в изложении пианиста, который внешне чем-то похож на Малера... :) Алексей, Москва.

А зачем одной левой, как концерт Равеля?

А нормальной транскирипции для двух рук нет?
