Obsessed by this piece since hearing Yuja Wang playing it live, great video thanks :)

As a total non-muscian, I always loved this étude but never knew why. Hearing it broken down like this (and also played at a much slower pace) is very helpful. Thanks so much for the video!

Thanks for the breakdown of this etude. I practice the etudes for some time now (3 years) and I slowly play them a bit better by practicing. When I was 25 (55 now) I listened to Koyaanisqatsi for the first time in a record store in Groningen (NL) in 1992. Since that time I am totally hooked to the music of Philip Glass. When I discovered the etudes I could create my own Glass sounds on the piano. I was so happy! Every every time I play this etudes I feel the same delight.

For anyone who isn’t aware of the series “100-Foot Wave,” check it out. It’s quite compelling! A lot of the music in the series is by Philip Glass, including “Mad Rush” and “Metamorphosis.” His music perfectly underscores the obsessive drive of the surfers’ quest. Glass in film would be an interesting area to explore here - just saying. Thanks!

So much film music. Thin blue Line. Truman Show. I’ve talked about Candyman and The Hours a bit already. And his influence is everywhere too.

@garygimmestad4272 8 месяцев назад

@@ImpliedMusic Cool. I’ll scroll back in your archives and find them. I’m sure you know this too, but maybe others don’t: Glass transformed Cocteau’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ into a film opera. The music and singing are synced with the film. It’s a remarkable feat but I haven’t warmed to it. It’s partly because that film is one of my all-time faves and I love Auric’s score. It’s a difficult adjustment. Disney borrowed from it heavily. I’ll give it another go sometime; my attitudes toward PG have been evolving. The films you mentioned are all great. Yeah, his influence on film music is huge. Even more traditional scores have borrowed his motors - the insistent ostinatos.

Thanks for this, Chris. I really enjoy your Philip Glass breakdowns. To whatever capacity, I would love a video of your thoughts on some of Music in 12 Parts. Probably a tall order, but it’s my favorite Glass composition of all time so I had to put it out there :)

@rickb_NYC 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for the breakdown of this etude. And your point that etudes give insight into the mind and technique of the composer. I've gone back through some of the first book of Glass's etudes with your various videos of his style in mind, and it all Is sitting there.

I love Phillips Glass’s music! I have played this and just finished learning “opening” from glassworks. I would love to hear to discuss “Satyagraha” for piano solo from the trilogy sonata. That piece I am going to learn next!

Watched your video on Polyrhythms yesterday and that introduced me to Philip Glass, my playing has now taken on a whole new meaning. Listening to Glassworks today! I’ll probably get this book, feel like I could learn it ok! Probably take me a while but I’ve got time lol! Thanks for the videos 👍

fantastic. i can also recommend the piano reduction of the music from the film "the hours."

@@ImpliedMusic The Hours is eerie in its drama yet with such simplicity. I am not into awards in the arts -- how you say one creative piece is "better" than another -- but frankly am surprised it missed getting the Academy award for Best Score.

I don't read notes but I think I got everything except the jumps part(my favorite part) my left hand is the problem in getting that part.

@banana_GGG 13 дней назад

Do you use the left pedal while playing this etude? If you could give me your opinion on using it, I would be glad to hear it.

@ImpliedMusic 12 дней назад

Good question. Una Corda isn't indicated in the score. Glass does use that indication in other pieces, so I believe it's not called for. That said, for a wider dynamic range, which i think this piece can benefit from, you might consider using it sparingly at the top and final phrases of the piece.

@SOSDJJKR 2 месяца назад

Just arrived here. I noticed that intro song sounds just like Scriabin's Prelude C major Op.11 climax. Am i correct?

@ImpliedMusic 2 месяца назад

Wow , not consciously.

@WinItReigns 10 месяцев назад

Would you also consider a non classical Pop song series? Take a listen to Silverchairs 'Across the Night' or 'Tuna in the Brine'. I think you might enjoy the arrangements. Great Video. I discovered Glass via your introductions previously.

This étude is the most performed. In my opinion the best execution is from Gloria Campaner. My preferred étude is the 15th, and Anton Batagov has given the best execution.
