I find solace in the intricate details of classical compositions. The nuanced phrasing, the subtle crescendos, and the delicate pauses create a mesmerizing experience that allows me to escape into a world of beauty and artistry. 🌺🎶
This is a pretty easy song as far as Bach goes and still he makes it appear so effortless and gentle. Like his fingers are just barely touching the keys and the piano sings
Schiff is like the dalai lama of music because his manner and expression as he sits there is just other wordly peace. The music makes me cry and just to watch him is so moving.
Great pianists, great violin players - they have to constantly, incessantly work on their art of playing an instrument - many hours of hard work every day, throughout decades. And yet, great instrumentalist musicians - pianists, violinists…complete orchestras with up to 100 (or more) musicians - even the greatest of them - are just our welcomed and trusted conduits for carrying, delivering, and relating to us - through the fabric of SPACE - TIME - the Creation of a Divine Genius. The creation of music, especially the music of such beauty lies on another, higher plane…it is a Divine Act. Composers like Mozart...or Bach, in this case, are these CREATORS.
Dieses Video ist so perfekt, so dass ich das Gefühl habe den grossen Künstler wieder einmal live zu erleben es ist ein großes Erlebnis mit Bach und Sir Andras Schiff!😮
Schiff's performance is my reference for my own ongoing learning of this Suite now. So beautiful, clear, selfcontrolled, and understated. His Courante especially keeps me honest--it's so tempting to go "over"/turn it Romantic when playing it.
This is honestly so helpful for someone that has to learn this suite. My teacher told me to look for his performance and "steal" what I can to perform it better. Beautiful beautiful rendition.
@@adamchenadamov I must have missed it, but keep in mind there are at least 2 versions of this. One version given from copies of Anna Magdalena Bach and the other from Kaysers copy
Even with all this quarantine time on my hands playing at this skill takes so many years of just experience, at least I have the Allemande almost at tempo haha
as much as i'm working on playing the allemande of this suite, i'm making sure that i work on copying his face expression and smoothness in finger movement. it really helps. what a flow
I don't think it's required. The differences in editions usually have to do with the original manuscripts that were consulted. I think the Barenreitter editions pride themselves on consulting all available manuscripts for their editions. So they for instance usually will include alternate versions. I know their WTC books do this. Pretty neat. The choice is yours as the performer what you will do. This is my opinion perhaps someone else will now the historical details further about the minuet inclusions
My Peters edition only has one minuet as does my Henle Verlag (pointed out below). I think the other minuet is optional. The Peters edition tends to not include alternate versions at least in the French and English Suites.
