Partita in C Minor, BWV 826, Johann Sebastian Bach, Karmen Grubisic - Piano

[@mattklammer5232]

Not afraid of expressive freedom this interpretation. A breath of fresh air. Sometimes Bach is played in a rather anaemic way. Not here!- i like it

[@macbird-lt8de]

i was appreciating that she played it straight. damn brother tell me who else you listen to. i will probably like them

Bach to me has always been full of life. Thank you for your kind words!

I think the piece could have done without the melodramatic and rather indulgent movements and flourishes. Let the music stand on its own. No need to wave your hands about for attention.

[@bakmanthetitan]

Every piano student should be required to see the left hand wrist freedom at 18:53. Incredible performance!

[@wamexart]

Wonderful depicts Bach genius, repects what I believe are passages that should be played in the “Bach traditional way” and what a creativity to show Bach genius in a superb interpretation full of freedom and no attachments, I guess Bach would aplaude.

[@carlrichards49]

Absolutely wonderful. This is Bach playing of the first order. Superb tempos, crystal clear articulation. Perfect!

As a professional pianist i must say this is one of the best renditions of this piece. I compliment for the depth of the interpretation. It takes a lot of work to find a personal way of thinking this kind of music without exaggerate things and sound out of context. And you did it wonderfully.

[@davidwontenor]

I started learning to play piano after I retired. It was so difficult to tell my fingers what to do. When I was so discouraged, somebody told me to play Bach. I have been playing Bach ever since. I love Bach. Listening to your performance confirms why I like Bach, how Bach could be so helpful. So great performance. So musical voicing. Bravo!

[@demic101]

@@bwv232 the word "interpretation" is so utterly lofty and pompous. I just say, "I LIKE THE WAY YOU PLAYED IT". If you want classical music to extend to new audiences, stop using BS terms like "interpretation", because it excludes them. They'll never get, that that's just a snobby code for "HOW IT'S PLAYED, which they could understand !

[@Aurelius2142]

@@demic101 ... In no particular order: First, OP used the word interpretation, not the channel, so your @ was misplaced. Second, interpretation has a distinct meaning from _how_ something is played; it is not a 'BS term', and was used correctly here. Third, it's not your place to talk down to people for using a word you think is too advanced for beginners, even if that were correct - which it is clearly not. For the small percentage of the population that would be intimidated by a word like interpretation (and I imagine it must be a _very_ small percent indeed), then hopefully the fact that this is a message _between two people who clearly DO know what it means_ would mean even the most obtuse reader could let it lie. It might behoove you in future comments to re-examine your ideals pertaining to this topic, and to approach similar situations with caution, being yourself aware of this issue. In other words? Don't be a dick. People can talk however the f*** they want. P.S. The word pompous means "affectedly and irritatingly grand, solemn, or self-important". There's only one comment in this thread that fits that description.

[@GreeneyedApe]

@@demic101 Haha!! No, "interpretation" is not some obscurely technical term. It's a commonly used word that keeps its common meaning in this context. There are terms that you could make that complaint about, but that's not one of them. Don't underestimate people so severely!

[@demic101]

@@GreeneyedApe I've played classical piano for 34 years. Taught it, and listened to much piano. For the longterm survival of classical music in the widest sense, we HAVE to break the dominance that the middle-class has over it. Poncey terms like "interpretation" are an example of the unnecessary exclusivities and jargon, that are rife.

[@LAK_770]

This is by far my favorite performance of this piece. Better than Schiff, better than Argerich, etc etc. You sound exactly how I sound in my head when I play this - it's actually uncanny how similar our interpretive choices are. I recently performed 826 and can only hope I came somewhat close to this level of polish and style. Really great work here. Probably Bach's single best suite, and you do it full justice.

[@guidopahlberg9413]

I just listened to a passage from Agerich. She has a more baroque sound and is not doing these romantic delays and other changes of the tempus and dynamics. To be close to the intention of the composer, the music must be straight, mechanical and 'German', which means slightly harsh. Grubisic, of course, has wonderfully soft fingers and is very expressive ...

[@greyleaf]

@@guidopahlberg9413 If we're going to talk about the intention of the composer, then why not address the biggest elephant in the room: none of his works were even composed with the timbre of a piano in mind. In my opinion, the greatest beauty of classical music is that it is transformative; every conductor or soloist will have their own unique way of interpreting a piece, some more radical than others, but all are valid in their own right.

[@erikgeiger6601]

@@greyleaf Agreed with your point. The only truly "authentic" instrument for the keyboard suites would be the clavichord - which was Bach's favorite keyboard instrument, due to its ability to support dynamics and aftertouch. The second closest would be the lautenwerk, which seemed to be preferred by Bach to the bronze/brass strung harpsichords so commonly used now - given how many he owned at the time of his death.

I can’t make up my mind whether I “approve” of your Bach playing in the parts where you go more “romantic” as opposed to the more “orthodox”-playing sections. But don’t worry about me and my obtuseness. There surely are a lot of people out there who will thoroughly enjoy your outstanding playing. And, maybe, one day you will manage to cure my illness preventing full enjoyment. I will let you know 😊

I remember when I first heard Sinfonia and it was from the background music of a movie.

Dunno how to start this, but it's amazing. The control you have over the keys is amazing.

Do you ever have this worry about making mistakes, this chilly feeling, or have you gone past this already, do you feel completely free and absorbed in the piece?
