Brilliant!

Definitely, you are the best 4-hands Beethoven players I've ever seen!

[musicusblau]

@Atsushi0607

Thank your for your encouraging words!

[jpctrp]

it sounds better than orchestral version. i think :]

[musicusblau]

@jpctrp

I don´t know, if it sounds really better than the orchestra, but it was a lot of fun to play this arrangement!

[gildemarcarneiro]

Nice. But what is the teacher's name?

[musicusblau]

@gildemarcarneiro

Thank you. Patrick was my pupil and I´m the teacher.

[musicusblau]

@Dwerghertje

Thank you for you kind comment.

[michrousos]

that's amazing! could i ask if the sheets u are using are online? or could i get them in any way? thanx:)

[musicusblau]

@michrousos

Thank you. You could try to get the arrangement from imslp.org.

[Gideon881]

Excellent, gentlemen!

I've been familiar with the orchestral original for some 40 years now, and I had no idea that the piano version for 4 hands could preserve both the spirit and so much of the substance of the original as you have demonstrated.  Outstanding!

Thanks for sharing.

[musicusblau]

@Gideon881

Thank you for your encouraging and kind comment! I´m glad you have enjoyed it.

[jerrywstevens]

Such a delight! Thanks so much for the beautiful music! I am unable to find Part 2 and would really love to experience it too!

[musicusblau]

@jerrywstevens

Thank you, I´m glad you enjoy it. Part 2 is here on my channel, too. Just look under my "uploads".

[SarJaneK]

This sounds AMAZING! I love it!!!!!

[musicusblau]

@SarJaneK

Thank you!

[brandonscherrer]

Wow, I never knew a piano could make sounds just like an orchestra.

Good job..

[musicusblau]

@brandonscherrer

Thank you. Yes, it´s amazing, what sounds (and sound-colours) one can produce on a piano, though it never really can replace a real symphonic orchestra.

[longeaton34]

Lovely, very well done.

[musicusblau]

@longeaton34

Thank you for your kind comment.

[Truus1949]

My dear Andreas, as this is "Eroica" for piano 4 hands, this morning it was also for 4 eyes. Terry wrote it already so beautifully. It was absolute a great experience and during both performances, part I and part II, we were so still. Please give also my compliments to your former pupil, when you speak him.

Just brilliant.

[musicusblau]

I´m sure, Patrik will be very glad, that you enjoyed our performance so much. Thank you for listening, my dear Truus. I´m always very happy, if the music reaches respective touches someone.

[musicusblau]

And thank you for your very kinds words and compliment!

Hugs

Andreas

[BocaFriend]

Oh, Andreas, Truus and I viewed this simultaneously while on Skype this morning and we sat in hushed awe at this bravura performance from you and Patrik!

The two of you play 'as one' and you can't imagine my shock when I read in your note to the beautiful Meiling that you and Patrik had only played this the one time before the video! I cannot imagine I'll

ever see and hear a finer Eroica than this! There's

no need to! I'm blessed with this consummate

recital! Bravo, Bravo! ~Terry, in awe

[musicusblau]

Dear Terry,

I´m really touched by your wonderful comment. So nice, that you and Truus watch together our performance, which means much to me. I´m proud Patrick has managed this difficult part so well! He truely is a talented pianist and composition and Í´m glad we still are in contact. Of course, he has a lot of work with his studies, but I think we will meet again in the next time.

[musicusblau]

Correction: I wanted to write "composer" above, not "composition", sorry!

[BocaFriend]

Andreas, it is really a great privilege for me to watch fine music videos with our beloved Truus. Each of us engrossed in the performance, yet finding comfort in the shared experience and the ability to share all of the fresh emotion at the conclusion. My deepest regards to Patrik. I'm

sure he will relish the opportunity to play beside you

in future. You clearly have an extreme gift for accompaniment without rehearsal. You are a sort of

' impromptu fantasy' come true :-) hugs & kudos ~T

[musicusblau]

Thank you for your very kind words, my dear friend.

Hugs and kudos for my wonderful listeners, Terry and Truus!

Andreas

[skrie]

This is so awesome ! :)

[musicusblau]

Thank you for your kind comment!

[Bloommon]

schaut mal auf meine seite !!!!

hab auch ein 4-händiges stück von mir oben!!!

look at my side!!! xD

coool

very good

[musicusblau]

Nice to see that you two have pleasure with music and to play four hands together. Must have been a great fun for you! That´s fine.

And thanks for your kind comment to our playing!

[sarastro1791]

Das ist aber sowas von großartig, ja, für was brauchen wir denn ein Orchester, wenn wir solche Menschen wie diese zwei Genies, diese zwei Zauberer, Magierer der schwarzen und weißen Tasten unter uns weilen haben? Bravo, bravo, 1000-mal Bravo!

Können sich alle Beethoven-Fans vielleicht unter Umständen Hoffnungen machen, dass wir auch den großen Schlusssatz von Euch zu hören kriegen? Naja, ist sicher nicht einfach zu spielen, aber wenn ihr das schafft, was kann da noch kommen?

[musicusblau]

Danke für den ermutigenden Kommentar! Ich werde Patrik fragen, ob er Zeit für das Finale hat. Er ist allerdings im Moment sehr mit seinem Studium beschäftigt.

Ich freue mich über jeden Beethoven-Fan. Ich bin von seiner lebendigen, echten und kraftvollen Musik nach wie vor hochgradig begeistert.

[sarastro1791]

Dem habe ich nichts hinzuzufügen! Genau so ist es bei mir auch! Diese Kraft, dieses Vorantreibende fasziniert mich immer wieder! Lg

[lv1023]

This is my favorite work by Beethoven and I truly enjoyed it. Fantastic. Great job. Can't wait to see the other 3 movements :)

[musicusblau]

Thank you very much!

[DreamTheaterMadness]

Splendidly played,so beautiful.. I absolutely love it. One of the best four-hands performances,in my opinion!

[musicusblau]

Thank you!

[japebarto5]

That's so cool!!! :0)

Awesome!!!

[musicusblau]

Thank you for your kind comment.

[meilingleiko]

Dear Mr.Andreas,

I've enjoyed Beethoven: 3. Sinf. "Eroica" for piano 4 hands both part 1 and part 2 played by you and Patrik. how smooth and harmonious.

I am just a learner, thank you so much for excellent performance by you both. and it's very funny that you show humor on the last part. all your videos always show the best audio and shooting angle. five stars for you and Patrick.

Meiling

[musicusblau]

Dear Meilingleiko,

thank you for your constant interest and kind comment. In this performance there are some slips, because we have just one time played it together. So, under this condition the performance is o.k., I think.

[BadAttitube23]

any chance you perform the other 3 movements too?? :-)

[musicusblau]

I doubt, that we will find all that time. Sorry about that, but thank you for your kind interest.

[Aery75]

so impressed with you

[musicusblau]

Thank you for your kind comment!

[BluesFan93]

Very, very nice. Good job, gentlemen.

[musicusblau]

Thank you!

[musicusblau]

Es hängt ganz vom Stück ab, welche Person dominiert. Im Falle einer vierhändig gespielten Sinfonie (z.B. der "Eroica" von Beethoven) dominiert mal die eine, mal die andere Person, je nachdem, wer gerade eine oder mehrere Hauptstimmen zu spielen hat. Diese zu erkennen verlangt Studium und Erfahrung.

[Rubinstein007]

danke. ich hoffe, dass ich es noch mal schaffe jemanden zu finden, der mit mir zusammen spielt, dann sammel ich meine eigenen erfahrungen =)

[Rubinstein007]

ich habe noch mal ne Frage. gibt es beim vierhänigen spielen eine dominierende person, der sich die andere anpasst, wenn ja, die obere oder die untere stimme, oder wechselt das? oder liegt es am charakter der spieler? oder spielt man einfach nur "zusammen"?

wenn ich mit meiner schwester zusam spiele, fantasieren wir, legen vorher ein paar akkorde fest und bauen ein thema draus. meistens "folgt" sie mir. macht sie das nicht, kommen wir beide raus. =) wir machen nix "ernstes". wie ist es sonst?

[earthatic]

Fantastic music! And yes, you both are very talented!

[musicusblau]

Thank you for your kind comment!

[Rubinstein007]

wieso weigert sich meine Lehrerin eigentlich immer, mit mir 4händig zu spielen? ich bewundere dich, dass du das mit deinen Schülern machst!!

[musicusblau]

Wiederum danke. Ich halte das Vierhändig-Spielen von Symphonien auf dem Klavier für eine der besten Möglichkeiten, auch diese Orchesterwerke lebendig zu erfahren und kennenzulernen.

[Rubinstein007]

Patrik Pietschmann aha... kann man den kennen lernen? scherz =)

wie lange spielt er schon?

ihr seid absolut genial!

[musicusblau]

Vielen Dank für die positiven Worte! Ich muss Patrik demnächst mal fragen, wie lange er schon spielt, im Moment weiß ich das gar nicht so genau.

[go9zu]

Very nice played!I am very impressed!

Hochqualitative Arbeit,sehr schön!Ich bin schwer beeindruckt.

Ich habe mit meinen Schülern sehr gerne die 5. von Beethoven gespielt.

[musicusblau]

Thank you for your kind comment! The 5th of Beethoven will follow probably next time on this channel.

[minivision]

Let me be the first to compliment your performance. The set, and the costumes, suggest you were home, and not at the theatre on stage. Best wishes from Miami...

[musicusblau]

Thank you for your encouraging compliment. Yes, we made this recording at home.
