+jerome taylor Bravo, bravo! " fantastic! " "fantastic!" Yuja! Yuja! : Sex in advertising From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Sex in advertising or "sex sells" is the use of sex appeal in advertising to help sell a particular product or service. Sexually appealing imagery may or may not pertain to the product or service in question. Examples of sexually appealing imagery include nudity, pin-up girls, and muscular men. The use of sex in advertising can be highly overt or extremely subtle. It ranges from relatively explicit displays of sexual acts, to the use of basic cosmetics to enhance attractive features." ALEXANDER BOOT Author, critic, polemicist Blogs > Alexander's blog > Sex sells - all of us short Submitted by Alexander on 24 June 2013 - 12:59pm The other day I listened to something or other on RU-vid, and a link to Chopin’s Fourth Ballade performed by the Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili came up. The link was accompanied by a close-up publicity photo of the musician: sloe bedroom eyes, sensual semi-open lips suggesting a delight that’s still illegal in Alabama, naked shoulders hinting at the similarly nude rest of her body regrettably out of shot… Let me see where my wife is… Good, she isn’t looking over my shoulder, so I can admit to you that the picture got me excited in ways one doesn’t normally associate with Chopin’s Fourth Ballade or for that matter any other classical composition this side of Wagner or perhaps Ravel’s Bolero. Searching for a more traditional musical rapture I clicked on the actual clip and alas found it anticlimactic, as it were. Khatia’s playing, though competent, is as undeniably so-what as her voluptuous figure undeniably isn’t. (Yes, I know the photograph I mentioned doesn’t show much of her figure apart from the luscious shoulders but, the prurient side of my nature piqued, I did a bit of a web crawl.) Just for the hell of it I looked at the publicity shots of other currently active female musicians, such as Yuja Wang, Joanna MacGregor, Nicola Bendetti, Alison Balsom (nicknamed ‘crumpet with a trumpet’, her promos more often suggest ‘a strumpet with a trumpet’ instead), Anne-Sophie Mutter and a few others. They didn’t disappoint the Peeping Tom lurking under my aging surface. Just about all the photographs showed the ladies in various stages of undress, in bed, lying in suggestive poses on top of the piano, playing in frocks (if any) open to the coccyx in the back and/or to the navel up front. This is one thing these musicians have in common. The other is that none of them is all that good at her day job and some, such as Wang, are truly awful. Yet this doesn’t really matter either to them or to the public or, most important, to those who form the public tastes by writing about music and musicians. Thus, for example, a tabloid pundit expressing his heartfelt regret that Nicola Benedetti “won’t be posing for the lads’ mags anytime soon. Pity, because she looks fit as a fiddle…” Geddit? She’s a violinist, which is to say fiddler - well, you do get it. “But Nicola doesn’t always take the bonniest photo,” continues the writer, “she’s beaky in pics sometimes, which is weird because in the flesh she’s an absolute knock-out. “The classical musician is wearing skinny jeans which show off her long legs. She’s also busty with a washboard flat tummy, tottering around 5ft 10in in her Dune platform wedges.” How well does she play the violin though? No one cares. Not even critics writing for our broadsheets, who don’t mind talking about musicians in terms normally reserved for pole dancers. Thus for instance runs a review of a piano recital at Queen Elizabeth Hall, one of London’s top concert venues: “She is the most photogenic of players: young, pretty, bare-footed; and, with her long dark hair and exquisite strapless dress of dazzling white, not only seemed to imply that sexuality itself can make you a profound musician, but was a perfect visual complement to the sleek monochrome of a concert grand... [but] there’s more to her than meets the eye.” The male reader is clearly expected to get a stiffie trying to imagine what that might be. To help his imagination along, the piece is accompanied by a photo of the young lady in question reclining on her instrument in a pre-coital position with an unmistakable ‘come and get it’ expression on her face. The ‘monochrome’ piano is actually bright-red, a colour usually found not in concert halls but in dens of iniquity. Nowhere does the review mention the fact obvious to anyone with any taste for musical performance: the girl is so bad that she should indeed be playing in a brothel, rather than on the concert platform. Can you, in the wildest flight of fancy, imagine a reviewer talking in such terms about sublime women artists of the past, such as Myra Hess, Maria Yudina, Maria Grinberg, Clara Haskil, Marcelle Meyer, Marguerite Long, Kathleen Ferrier? Can you see any of them allowing themselves to be photographed in the style of “lads’ mags”? I can’t, which raises the inevitable question: what exactly has changed in the last say 70 years? The short answer is, just about everything. Concert organisers and impresarios, who used to be in the business because they loved music first and wanted to make a living second, now care about nothing but money. Critics, who used to have discernment and taste, now have nothing but greed and lust for popularity. The public… well, don’t get me started on that. The circle is vicious: because tasteless ignoramuses use every available medium to build up musical nonentities, nonentities is all we get. And because the musical nonentities have no artistic qualities to write about, the writing nonentities have to concentrate on the more jutting attractions, using a vocabulary typically found in “lads’ mags”. The adage “sex sells” used to be applied first to B-movies, then to B-novels, and now to real music. From “sex sells” it’s but a short distance to “only sex sells”. This distance has already been travelled - and we are all being sold short.

Personally I loved her performance. Is a lot about getting different lines out of the music. Is very rarely that i have heard Prokofief being performed musically and without hitting the piano. Many would say that this is not the way Prokofiev is suppossed to be performed, but I think that we should be open to perform his music in other ways than "what he meant" because that makes us experience both the composer and the piece in another level.

Indeed you have to get acquainted with Yuja's staccato approach, and from 1:40 till 2:00 she fumbles up a bit. I have repeated this interpretation several times and now I am convinced this is the best interpretation I ever heard, even better than of Argerich. I just listened to the interpretation of Prokofiev himself and on that terrible dual tone hard touch piano it sounded not well but you can still hear what he meant to play, and I think Yuja Wang has interpreted this piece exactly as Prokofiev meant it.

Die Hauptfiguren des Spektakels, oder anders ausgedrückt: die Waren, die auf diesem Basar feilgeboten werden, sind verplichtet, auf Covers, Plakaten, Zeitschriften, in Talkshows, auf Präsentationen oder in Interviews zu glänzen. Der Glamour braucht das IMAGE des ERFOLGS, das lässt sich leichter verkaufen als das Image des Leidens. Und das Lächeln gehört dazu. Können Sie sich Bruckner mit Star-Lächeln vorstellen?...Glamour fabriziert Stars, er gibt die Parameter des Erfolges vor, Treulosigkeit verzeiht er nicht. Diese Starfabrik operiert mit allen Verkaufstechniken wie Bestsellerlisten, Preisen, Exklusivrechten, Werbung, von der Foto-Session,der Stilisierung a la irgendwas, bis hin zur Intensität des Make-ups. Das wurde von den Großmeistern der Kommerzwelt sorgfältig getestet, und sie setzen es mit holywoodschem oder bollywoodschem Elan in Szene.

Sometimes I wonder what the reason is for some to just dislike a video.. What really is the reason?; Is it the playing, is it not their kind of music, or is it the video editing, or they don’t like the person playing, or simply they don’t like the colour correction, or they don’t like the make of the piano, or they are just happier when negative about things, etc etc etc.. I just wonder at times.

For a brand-new Steinway, with new, fluffy, soft hammer-heads, it seems rather bright!! Or is it the way the music is written or the style of the piece,, or is it how she attacks the keys?

How can she remember such a mechanical-like piece?
@Wosudhehqaxb9169
@Wosudhehqaxb9169 4 года назад
It's really what the fingers "remember".. She studied the piece with such intent, and made it her own, so she can just play it from the get-go without really having to muster much thought. It's like solving and equation, but you remember all the formulas and even made your own!

@@Wosudhehqaxb9169 So actually she is playing her own similar version of that particular piece?
@Wosudhehqaxb9169
@Wosudhehqaxb9169 4 года назад
@@meggiel.512 Well, yes, but also no.. Her rendition is very accurate to the sheet music, but everyone has their own flair and style.. Compare this song to other artists, and you'll see they do little things to the music that make it their own.. That's what helps them to remember the piece because they remember what they actually do to express it One example is in an interview with horowitz, he was called upon to play a song he hadn't played in years.. He said he wasn't even sure if he remembered it, since he was also in his old age.. But as sat down to play, the music just flowed from him. He remembered the entire song, because he made it his through his unique rendition

@@meggiel.512 Different people have different techniques for memorization. Books have been written about it. Most of them by people who aren't really experts on psychology or neurology, so it's hard to get definitive answers on the subject. For me, memorization has many different facets: kinesthetic, visual, aural, and theoretical/analytical. Those facets have then have their own subfacets, e.g. visual can be thought of as having a visual memory of your hands playing the piece that you can recall or as having a visual memory of the score. Each of these different facets are important and need to be nurtured for me to be able to reliably play a piece well from memory. By the time you're ready to play a piece from memory, you usually have it planned out in your head where in the piece you should think about certain aspects of your memory you'll find most helpful. You create kind of a personal roadmap that keeps you on track and gives you chances to get back on if you get off.

I heard from the grapevine that Yuja Wang is leaving her Opus3 agent, Earl G.Blackburn, to join London-based Fidelio Artists as its first instrumentalist. Fidelio have young conductors of Gustavo Dudamel, Lionel Bringuier & Esa-Peka Salonen. These 3 are LA Phil's prominent conductors whom JW has recently worked with at the Hollywood Bowl. Remember YW's short orange/yellow dress that went viral? Guess who the conductor was? Right, the 27 year old Lionel. Gustavo & Yuja just released their Rach album. And, guess who the conductor was when Yuja first played Shostakovich at the Bowl? Right again. Esa-Peka. She dumping the old for the young? Watch out! Welcome to Hollywood, Yuja! Now, you'll get a better chance to produce DVDs instead of CDs. CD's are still good, but they are from the last century. The 21st demands DVDs. It is a visual century. And your fans who can't see you perform live, are craving to see you in a visual medium. They want to see your fingers fly over the keyboard. They want to see you singing and being playful while stroking the keys. They want to see, do I dare mention, your attire. You are a fashionista, and where can you better trot your sense of fashion than here in Hollywood. Go for it, girl!
