You are the best classical mentor I’d seen so far❤

When you performed the prelude, I heard the slight rubato and was puzzled. Thank you for explaining the origin and purpose. Much appreciated!

Excellent lesson with all the nuances I was looking for. I learned this piece many years but I dropped the piano unfortunately to take care of my family and a demanding career. I have picked up this beautiful instrument once more a year ago and playing fills my life with joy. I have the dynamic markings on this prelude from my teacher at the time. What I will try is the interesting concept of the light pedal with some “feathering”. Thank you so much for introducing so many great concepts to this beautiful piece. I personally believe that Bach, of all people, would have broken all the rules if a modern piano had magically appeared in front of him.

Yours is definitely a recording recommendation 😊🔥

@georgesmith8774 Год назад

Thank you for another excellent and well produced tutorial on a delightful piece. It will be very helpful when I return to this piece. I think that Bach would want us to use every available musical tool when playing his pieces. I believe that one of his motivations was to honor the excellence of the God that he believed in. To me, a modern acoustic grand piano is the most excellent instrument in existence. Who knows? He might even have enjoyed listening to Switched-On Bach. Incidentally, I once had a piano technician who used this as his final check of his tuning. He said it was simple enough for him to play (!) and that if his tuning was off in any way this piece would bring it out.

Год назад

Thank you very much for your support! ☺️🙏🏻 I can also imagine Bach being very interested in today’s pianos. And what a great choice of piece to perform the final check of a tuned piano. 😊

@stevesawyer4286 Год назад

Thanks! I play the Chapman Stick and just learned this piece. The regularity makes it really easy to want to go nutso with the rubato, so I appreciate your discouragement of that. Also, using dynamics to outline the phrases rather than the harmonic structure (what I’ve been tending to do) is also excellent advice. Looking forward to incorporating these ideas in my practice tomorrow!

Thanks for the suggestion and thank you for watching :)

I listened to Busoni's version again after watching your video and your explanations on the rubato. It's a priceless recording even if the sound quality is poor, Busoni's musical mastery is breathtaking!

Oh yes, I agree!

@roberthurless4615 Год назад

This is one of the best videos that you have ever done. I love your interpretation and I can hear the subtle use of rubato.. The best rendition that I have heard is by Lang Lang. But I will definitely use some of your suggestions. Please do a video on the companion fugue to this. .

Thanks so much!

@thowe56 Год назад

Your explanation and playing of it is so beautiful. I would be interested in a similar video of the C minor prelude. I learned this with a teacher but I could never play it the way she wanted me to, which was fast and more like a finger exercise than the wonderful piece of music it is. I eventually gave up on it but later, when I heard some great performances at a slower speed I found that i could play it.

Год назад

Thanks so much, it really is a very beautiful piece! I hope you enjoy getting to know it again :)

@Roberto-qb2dj Год назад

Ciao dall' Italia, ti scrivo in italiano perché il mio inglese scritto non è dei migliori. La difficoltà di questo pezzo è renderlo espressivo. Hai dato delle indicazioni molto interessanti. Io non uso il pedale, il suono si impasta. L idea di suonare l intero accordo per capirne le dinamiche è davvero utile. Hai dato un ottimo consiglio che prenderò in considerazione.

@valentina6429 8 месяцев назад

Sono d’accordo con te! Non ci sta il pedale… basta essere espressivi con le dita…!!

@richardforshaw8479 Год назад

0:23 It’s conjecture, but maybe Bach was hearing the possibilities of more nuance than the harpsichord would allow in his head, if you get my meaning, and, of course the vehicle to this end would have been the pianoforte, the sound of which he never heard. I would hope that this instrument may have given him the sound world he never heard. Finger pedalling is a term I have never heard, but I am keen to try! Also the different types of pedalling you mentioned.Surely another piece in the armoury of playing which ,of course, is essential for a complete interpretation. I love your in- depth explanation of the prelude, and the many subtle nuances you employ throughout. I am a fan of the piano version of the work,as so much feeling is evoked by the instrument. 😊 R.

Год назад

Thank you, and I find that finger pedaling can be very helpful in many situations and different types of repertoire. :)

@MarekJanouch Год назад

This video appeared just in time. Thank you. I just finished learning this piece and still trying to figure out how to play it correctly. Mainly the pedalling was a bit of an issue for me (as a beginner player). It was really helpful to see here how you use the pedal. It's interesting that when I try to play this on our old upright piano there is almost no need for pedalling as the sound resonates much longer than on my digital piano which I primarily use.

@MarekJanouch Год назад

@Baron Bar Thanks for the reaction. I can't argue with the other suggestions you have but I'm not sure I agree about the pedal one. If I'm playing the piece on a different instrument with other possibilities the Bach had then why wouldn't I use everything that instrument offers? It's only a guess but if Bach could use the modern piano he would surely use the pedal. It's a completely different situation if someone tries to interpret the piece exactly how it sounded ages ago (then the pedal question is relevant) or uses a modern instrument.

@richardforshaw8479 Год назад

@Baron Bar I beg to differ- I think Bach would have been elated with the piano’s possibilities. Many of his compositions were very forward 🤔 ing and dance- like, and I’m sure he would have loved the pianoforte.

@richardforshaw8479 Год назад

@Baron Bar Thankyou for your informative repost. Bach may have written new music of the pianoforte- who knows? I imagine that he would relish this instrument, and perhaps play the 1st prelude with dynamics, pedal , and some rubato? Who knows?

@richardforshaw8479 Год назад

@Baron Bar I am delighted not to share any more comments with you as you are so opinionated. Please do not contact me again.

Год назад

@Marek Janouch Pedaling changes so much according to which instrument you are playing and which room / hall you are playing in (and of course also according to which composer you are playing. 😉) Thank you for watching and I hope that it will be helpful in your journey with this piece! :)

@adambradley3284 Год назад

Danae, you mentioned the Pedal technique very briefly. Could you please do a more in depth analysis of pedal use. I am a self taught beginner and have noted the terms Half Pedal and Re-pedal but have not seen very many instructional videos.

Год назад

Here is a more in depth video that I made on pedaling technique, hope this is helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EOD2rFc1wRc.html Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

@adambradley3284 Год назад

This is not a hairpin. It's actually mind music, meaning a crystaline like structure created from human, sincere Inspiration of harmony melody and tambre which is in turn inspired by life experience, such as loosing first wife, 15 children, and working for manipulative violent feudal kings
