Splatoon? 😳 its not too common I find someone with a splatoon pfp in a classical music video.

[@0hhSly]

Excuse me but was this "Nikolayeva" Lugansky's piano teacher ?

[@thenameisgsarci]

Yes.

[@not2tees]

Prokofiev had an imagination for not only his century, but all centuries.

[@TerrenceMurphy-k4i]

Not one of my favorite composers, but he was genius.

[@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji]

"The Cat" is one of the cutest things I've ever heard in my life.

[@PamelaJean2013]

Please note that this is not the Prokofiev version -- this is variations. Lovely ones, but this is NOT the Peter and the Wolf that is performed by orchestras.

[@MARTIN201199]

PamelaJean2013 It is Nikolayeva's transcription, which is wonderful

[@THyperon]

PamelaJean2013 it is, but in another order.

Well, in fact this is absolutely similar, but in the different order)

[@brooksiefan]

What a gem!

[@andreafilidei3071]

I really Love Peter and Wolf😍... but it isn't the complete opera, it is a piano reworking of themes and variations of the opera :) very nice

[@nicksm7980]

Why do you call it opera?

[@andreafilidei3071]

@@nicksm7980 "Opera" in the generic sense of "work", not as "melodramma".

[@moga1968]

Wonderful!!!!!!

[@Damisaventures2023]

I love this piece!!! I am a long time admirer of Nikolayeva, and I am an advocate of women composers. I didn't know she composed. How can I get the score? Please??

[@theflep]

Wtf is that? An advocate of women composers? How about being an advocate of good composers regardless of genre, race, etc? Are women in music so weak and irrelevant that we need to paternize them? For the love of god! Stop the nonsense!

[@leonlinton634]

@@theflep I'm not sure but I think they're trying to say they actively seek out classical music composed by female composers, rather than that they support the notion of women composing. Poor choice of words on their part it seems.

[@theflep]

​@@leonlinton634 Well, I think it's the same thing. Why wouldn't they? It's the same idea than the one I commented, no? Why would you even feel the need to say "I support the notion of women composing"? I don't understand how we reached where these kinds of comments are viewed as virtuous instead of just imbecile, empty and irrelevant. It's almost like saying "This piece is good! Oh! A woman did it? In that case it's extra good!".

[@genericmeme]

@@theflep r u ok

[@ciararespect4296]

Hardly composed. It's only an arrangement of the great Prokofiev who was incidentally male. Let's face it women can't really compose anything of gravitas. I've seen the list and all boring

[@TheDbird90]

I love this. Do you know where I can find the sheet music?

[@thenameisgsarci]

You can search for it at en.scorser.com

[@TheDbird90]

Thank you so much! Found it.

[@costep]

Very nice. Thank you for posting. I am a great fan of Tatjana Nikolayeva.

[@thenameisgsarci]

You're welcome. :)

[@DavidBadilloMusic]

I wonder if John Williams got some of his inspiration for Jaws from Prokofiev... specifically that big at 15:23

[@hugomezzasalma2649]

Why at 3:56 the high C is between brackets ?

[@thenameisgsarci]

In my opinion, if you hit that highest key on the piano that loud, you would probably hear your finger hit that key rather than the note itself.

[@hugomezzasalma2649]

Ha, ok thanks. I thought that it was too high for a normal piano.

[@thenameisgsarci]

That could be plausible as well.

[@piano1500]

It's in brackets because it's optional to play. The arranger is giving the performer the option to play it or not.

[@jasonenosart]

The highest C is one of the highest notes our ears can hear before we start hearing noise rather than a specific pitch. Since our hearing is stretched pretty thin at that point, we may or may not be able to hear that pitch in the first place. Also, the dynamic is mf undergoing diminution, which, at that volume, the highest C may be drowned out by the others. Also, there is fingerings to consider. If one uses the pinky on that highest note, there may not be enough power to carry the note anyway. One could use thumb on the lower note and ring finger on the higher note, though that may detach the C-B octaves a bit more than desired.

[@pos_itronium]

Here you should add the performer's name too. You always should even if composer (arranger) and performer are the same person. (For example "Medtner plays his Fairy tale op 26 no 3" or "Maurice Ravel - Sonatine (Maurice Ravel)" and so on...) Please take care about that.

[@pos_itronium]

+Baton From BFI™ don't be angry with that. Your videos are useful, but I'm just asking you to do small thing: note the performer's name (it's very important)

[@thenameisgsarci]

And please read the title card as well.

[@pos_itronium]

+thenameisgsarci Ooh, I see, finally!... But it would be really much better if you wrote it at least at description of the video as well. Maybe, for example, I search appropriate record to link my friend but is not able to watch the video because of slow internet... or I look through the list of videos and will be really glad to quickly find out should I listen to the record or not (and it's not because I hurry, that's because I don't want to lose temper). It is much more pleasant for me to find out quickly rather than to wait until the name appears at this long-progressing title card... it's annoying and repulsive. Of course, you can do as you prefer, I have no any right to teach you. Just want to express my feelings and opinion. And onion)

[@thenameisgsarci]

1) Well, thank you for the feedback, nonetheless. But maybe in the future. 2) You could've given me a potato, but I'm not crying... potato... why a freaking onion... *WAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!*
