5 Minutes On... Chopin - Ballade No.1 (G minor) | Daniel Barenboim [subtitulado] 

Interesting choice of opening music for 5 minutes on Chopin.

I agree on the fact that 5 minutes is a short period of time to listen to you. I admire how you are able to give us a great analysis of each piece you present in that period of time. The underlying fact there might be we really enjoy you talking about music which makes each video too short for our taste. Thank you very much for this video. At first, I agreed with previous comments concerning the amount of information you were giving. I required to watch the video at least 3 times to start understanding the masterclass you are teaching.

Querido maestro. Ha sido un placer el paseo argumental que usted nos ofrece y mucho más el paseo pianístico que tan genialmente nos muestra a través de las teclas. Un saludo.

Magnifique!

Herzlichen Dank❤️👏🏻👏🏻

Maestro

I love your shorts, thank you, but wish they were a bit longer. Some people can attend for more than a byte of time. I would love to listen to a full lecture.

Excelente

1:45 I'm unsure if that assessment is correct in every case, though it's certainly possible. I agree that the introduction in Chopin's Ballade No.1 seems more like a scaffolding, bringing the listener to the main theme; however, sometimes composition can be more fragmented. For all we know, Chopin may even have intended each section of his first ballade to be an independent work, each is so contrasting in mood and style. If you have a collection of themes, for example, where each is strong, though similar to each other, it's sometimes feasible to link them together with the correct transitions/bridges or introductions and produce a larger work.

Maestro, disfruto mucho sus videos y me uno a los demás espectadores al solicitarle los haga un poco mas largos. Le mando un fuerte abrazo desde México y le agradecería mucho nos regale un video sobre las variaciones Goldberg o sobre Bach.

dear maestro, can you talk about "ballade number 4, op.52" by Chopin? Thank you for your precious work.

i would love 5 mins covering Chopin's grand valse op. 18

Daer Maestro. Thank you for your Impressions. i would like to hear your comment about Chopin´s Fantasie Impromptu

Thats a nice way of saying, pay me to explain more!

Welcome to Chopin *plays Beethoven*

Please, make it at least 10 minutes. It is very interesting. Thank you.

Dear maestro, 5 minutes is way too limited for this grand promenade

We need more! 5 minutes is far too little when talking about such grande pieces in the classical repertoire. Please make these 10 minutes.

Why does a chopin ballade video have Beethoven's moonlight sonata at the start??

Surely there is more the maestro could tell us about this piece. The 5 minute format is far too limited.

Please do Ballade No. 4, Sir, it would be wonderful.

I actually find it extremely frustrating that he just stops playing. I realize he isn't going to play through the whole piece but the music is so beautiful that it kind of hurts when it just stops. Also, I know this isn't a request for a piece, but could you please post a video on use of the pedal?

Several years late, but I've enjoyed watching this series of bitesized lectures.

Dear Maestro, would you consider a feature on Busoni's original piano music? Best wishes

It's amazing that although Mr. Barenboim speaks and plays in front of a camera, the result is a very comfortable, personal communication to the viewer. Bravo!

The piano sound is already enough to make my heart feel the beauty of the song

Bel tentative de synthèse, mais le format de cinq minutes seulement est trop court... Ne vous imposez pas de format, choisissez le temps qui convient à chaque œuvre que vous présentez, cela gagnera en même temps en sincérité et en richesse, puisque nous n'aurons plus l'impression que vous avez fait une longue explication dont vous avez supprimé beaucoup de choses au montage... ce qui est dommage! ;) Pour la prochaine pièce, pouvez-vous choisir une musique d'abord difficile? Je pense à des oeuvres du XXème siècle type Henry Cowell (Sinister Resonance...). Ces musiques ont peu de visibilité dans le monde de la musique et sur youtube encore moins, alors peut-être que vous saurez les sortir de l'ombre... ;)

To understand Chopin balade, those felings into a very strong soul must be alive into. Chopin is amazing composer. Master Barenboin provides that. I dream on studying with him !!

Con todo el respeto del mundo, maestro, por favor déjenos apreciar por más tiempo su disertación sobre la balada.

Maestro Barenboim will bring a tear to your eye when he plays the piano. He also conducted Itzhak Perlman's Beethoven Violin Concerto in a performance that has yet to be surpassed. DB is a musical genius.

What an amazing pianist Daniel Barenboim is A true Maestro His Interpretational Skills are phenomenal!! The G Minor Ballade is one of Chopin's Greatest Works Sad that this wonderful video was only 5 minutes long!!

This is not improvisation, LOL. It is Chopin note for note. It may feel like that to him, but it's the same notes. The key is in the theory. A-flat major opening run m(hald step above the key resolution LOL) to the top..then a pause, a brilliant pause, then a G-Minor cadence of .......V7-1 (D7-Gm)....resolve to the beautiful G Minor.... There is really nothing more to say here...it's brilliant Tertian harmony in masterful elegance.

A video made 6 years ago, and yet first time I come to watch this. This would have been such a great relief to watch during the plandemic.

"Where are we now...?" I love that. Never thought of it that way, thank you for opening my ears sir.

YOU dear Máster Daniel Barenboim fullfill any expectation beyond MUSICIANS Knowledge. Thank YOU !

5 minutes really isn't enough, he doesn't end up talking about anything really.

hola maestro Barenboim! me encanta tu canal y todos lo vídeos suyos. Me gustaría que le dedicaras el próximo vídeo a la sonata no. 8 en do menor "Pathétique" de Beethoven. Muchas gracias por todo! un saludo.

Thanks Daniel ! Please, do some Boulez ! I saw you in concert last year in Paris at Philarmonie, the explanation for the Boulez piece was great ! Helped the public a lot !!

Daniel, I love how you play this ballade with precision and expression, and with just the right pinch of rubato.

It makes me anxious when I see the time is 50% left but he just began

Beethoven Sonata 32 Op 111. Please, maestro. Thank you.

Yes i enjoyed... admirable. L'intelligence de M. Barenboim est de donner a la musique une signification concrete accessible a tous. On comprend que l'oeuvre a un sens, mais que ce sens est inaccessible, en quelque sorte "esoterique". Or pour s'elever, on a besoin d'accder a ce sens: merci. Accessoirement, on decouvre que M. Barenboim est aussi un homme de theatre, de telle sorte qu'il apparait la continuite entre la musique et la pensee. Admirable.

Great character, brilliant!! Msr. Barenboim. Blessings.

can we have 1 hour on this piece please this was amazing but too short :)

Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata Mvt. 1!

For a piece like this, 5 minutes is too short. But I liked the brief introduction anyway. Tzvi Erez all the way!

This is a gift . A light gift . All of you people asking for more ned to do your homework . Doou know how many books the are on Chopin . How many on his music . How many on his harmony and piano notation ? This music is over 150 years old . Don't be lazy , misguided or informed . This is a gift from a world -amous musician it is not meant to take the place of analysis or even a programme note . Charles Rosen's Romantib Era is a good place to start !

Even the great, great Daniel Barenboim is comminicating through youtube. It is very touching. What a gift of technology!

love you maestro wishing you health and happiness

LMAO "Where are we now?" perfect description

There are many masterclass lecturers and presenters. So many of them talented and well worth of the cost of paying attention to what they have to say. You can have them. I'll take Daniel Barenboim's commentaries every single time.

more more - give us an hour

The Introduction was very fine explained. Now I hear it with other ears.

Debussy - Clair de Lune. Would love to hear your thoughts on this magnificent piece maestro

I first encountered Daniel Barenboim at the Tel Aviv Mann Hall when he conducted the Israel Philharmonic in Mozart, playing and conducting a piano concerto, which amazed me at 20 (I was 20, he was 28), a young and compelling man, married to Jacqueline du Pre. It was 1972, before the tragic turn their lives took. He then conducted my chorus in the Mozart Requiem. I remember him vividly the first time I saw him play piano and conduct from the piano. How time has transformed him, and me, but I love his introduction to this famous Ballade. And then the dramatic finish! Yes, I have enjoyed this short episode of Chopin's Ballade! It brought back such memories. Earliest memories of performance.

Ay, por qué no hay más vídeos de él? Simplemente le admiro demasiado un gran intérprete, gracias por todas tus enseñanzas!!!

He looks like a conductor of an orchestra...

Moved to tears, Maestro. Wonderful to hear and to have such a brief window on the process behind these great works. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

More like 5 min on the intro lol

A recommendation: Chopin's Nocturne in B major, Op. 62, no. 1. This was the piece that introduced me to the hypnotic power of music. Van Cliburn. My Favorite Chopin. Must have been about 1966...

I love Barenboim and all, but the idea of dedicating only five minutes to talk about this piece is kind of ridiculous.

Love you from Persia The brilliant Barenboim🧡💚💙❤️💜

Uma mistura de sentimentos! Paz felicidade medo angústia prazer amor ternura solitude tranquilidade

Dear Master Barenboim, thank you for this legacy. Your art will make you infinite. May the Lord blesses you!

5 minutes on Rachmaninoff please,maestro.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️♥️🕊️♾️🕊️♥️🕊️ THANK 🌹 YOU. 🌹 WILL YOU PLAY BEETHOVENS PATHETIQE for me Please?🕊️♥️🕊️♾️🕊️♥️🕊️🙏🙏🙏🙏

Fantastic, Thankyou!

Please do a video about the Chopin Etude op. 25 no. 11!

Maestro can deconstruct the intricate story weaved within these scores like no other. Every time I watch one of these episodes, something he says about the music is something I've never considered...even on pieces I love and have listened to many times. Such a treat to watch this. I wish they were longer!

Daniel eres imprescindible

I am a very very big fan of you

This videos are priceless!

Once again I say this: what a pleasure to be a blessing to share this with Barenboim! Beautiful connection with the music! Can't believe I hadn't seen these gems before. Thank you!!

I could spend my whole life hearing you playing and explaining what music is 😮🙌🏼 grateful for your generosity

Hello, Mr. Barenboim. I would love to see some kind of longer analysis behind the genius of all the four Ballades. These pieces truly have something unique to them.

I would have a hard time saying less than that about such pieces even with 3 mintues of time, by god...A ballade is like a promenade? Are you sure dude? Really? this piece starts with an introduction? Wow so insightful!

Thank you for these videos Maestro ! I could only wish they were longer ! The music deserves more and I'm sure you could talk about masterpieces such as this one for hours ! Make them at least 10 to 15 minutes long :D

Dear Maestro Barenboim, talking about Chopin, I would prefer to know your perspective on the Prelude in C-sharp minor, Op.45. Thank you very much for your time! Atb.

I never knew no.1 was so beautiful. No.4 has been my favorite. Your introduction opened my ears and heart, Thank you so very very much.

Cet homme est extraordinaire ! Avec des mots d'une incroyable simplicité il dit tout, en moins de 5 minutes. Merci Monsieur Baremboim.

That piano, the notes are at the same time strong, transparent and crystal clear... LIVELY! I've never heard anything like it.

Brillante Maestro

>Talking about Chopin's Ballade No. 1 > Plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata as background music

Excelente maestro...por favor comentar y ejecutar la Patética de Beethoven.Muchas gracias!!!

Le son de ce piano est sublime ...

Haber creado este canal y orientarlo al publico joven es una idea excelente y tan original como interesante, posees una didáctica muy delicada y sencilla de captar. ¡Te felicito Daniel! Es un orgullo tener un artista tan talentoso dispuesto a ofrecer de forma tan humilde sus conocimientos. En cuanto a sugerencias, mi mayor inspiración es Chopin, lo que sea que hagas sobre el sera bienvenido, es un artista para no dejar de estudiar y aprender en toda una vida.

Interesting idea Maestro Barenboim. Beautiful piano, such a great pianist (musician) should always make these videos with a really good piano. It is very interesting, Chopin is still considered, by many, the best composer of the romantic period even though he only composed for the piano (except for a few pieces). That says a lot about how great he was as a composer. Your explanations are very interesting and the nuances of the few passages that you played really show that you are a Master. I really enjoyed it. The video is too short, though (such a beautiful Ballade deserves, at least, 12 minutes). Given you are not only a great pianist but also a great conductor you could make videos about piano concertos. It is something that other musicians, who only play the piano, would probably not do as well or as interestingly as you can. You have a lot of experience. I'm sure you have a lot of gold (information) to share with your viewers. And please, you have to make videos about Beethoven sonaten (you play them all, marvellously) and Klavierkonzerte Mozarts. You are a living musical encyclopedia, we can learn a lot from you. Thanks for sharing and Bravo!!

Barenboim ist ein Genie!

Master of masters.

Thank you very much, Mr Barenboim. My suggestion is Schumann's Romance in F sharp, Op.28 No.2.

This piano reallly needs to be voiced down. Hammer felt seems too dense causing a percusive sound like a Yamaha. Not worthy of a Steinway IMO...

Master Barenboim, Plz talk about the 3rd Symphony of Master Beethoven

Difficult to understand why the opening sequence is with Beethoven. Well, will you change your intro every time you change the subject? Probably not.

Hi Maestro, I have your album conducting the Orgel-Symphonie from Saint-Saens. Could you talk about that work?? Thank you

Please, maestro! Explain us Gymnopedie of Satie, it's wonderful...

please Mr Barenboim Could you help me with Brahmns Rapsodiy in G Minor op 79 ,I,m jst learning this.Thanks

Not sure this is my favourite Chopin Daniel. I prefer Nocturne in C Sharp Minor myself, or Nocturne Op 32 Number 2 or Prelude 28 Number 4. This Ballade No 1 is to bangy for me - only my opinion though. Regards.

maestro! debussy please

My favourite piece 🥰🥰🥰🥰How about Bach French suit in E major 😁

Could you have a 5-Minutes-On Chopin's Piano Concerto #1? Thanks.
