[Chemicalpneumonia]

[Chemicalpneumonia]

@Chemicalpneumonia now that i've heard the whole piece i would say that i can do it better

This was filmed in a place with stone walls and floors, of course the piano's louder. Dimwits.

How old is this kid, like 12?

[bine2100]

Parabéns garoto. Você é um vencedor!!!

[MrBrain4]

Excellent.  I did not find the performance too fast at all. I liked the tempo very much. Well done.

[Shlosh10p]

brilliant

[gitprofnikat]

Too fast and out of control.

Pianist: in the loud passages, play loud with your right hand and p with your left. You must be keenly aware where the cello is relatively weak, and has important thematic material, to really scale down. Be careful that you preserve the two against three, for example in the coda section, your left hand is not playing duplets against the triplets in your right hand.

More dynamic and color range contrast needed. More lyrical passages need more expressivity.

Thank you for commenting. Valuable advice, but this is now a historical recording - it was made 2 years ago :))Things sound a lot different now, although tempo's still fast. People are used to hearing this movement played slower, but in my opinion, this is the right tempo.

[gitprofnikat]

The opening tempo was OK, but it soon accelerated, and in the development section beginning where the piano starts with triplets based on F# major, there was overt rushing. If the basic tempo is too fast, it leaves little for the piu allegro at the end without the latter sounding ridiculously hysterical, if the indicated change in tempo is honored. The melodic sections, such as early on in G major can benefit from slight contrasting relaxation in tempo, and certainly character.

amazing man. So much feeling :)

[DieSonneSinkt]

Every time I hear this I... (sighs) I don't know - the Furnier / Backhaus recording though.

[metaxassasin]

good job mate

[anchoalyptica]

I'm impressed. You are talented, and the pianist too. Congratulations and all the best for you career :)

[ringedspace]

Congratulation, it's really good, I fancy now to work my cello and this 3rd mouvement so difficult.

I'm impessed at 3'26" because you don't use the thumb to play. Great !

[juleczka7]

It's not the pianist too loud, but the cello too weak.

[inaned]

Could well be the case....

[vsupiano]

Haha, there are parts where the piano is so loud I couldn't even hear you playing. It just looked like you where just pretending to play.

[Lochsloy92]

Jeez no kidding is the cello actually playing? :P

[inaned]

I remember I was playing..:)))

[JmkorotkinPunk]

OMG! your 14???? IM 14!!!! I'm used to bieng the best out of everyone...but you make me look horrible!!!! i Finished suzuki book 6, and my teacher wanted me to get out of the books,so i'm now doing allegro appasianato....ur way better than that one kid..nathan chan i thinks his name....GOOD FOR YOU! Keep it up! Any words of advice?

[allegriajoy]

Okay, in this movement the pianist IS too loud in spots, and I say that as a pianist that has played and loves this piece. I will say that it's a very difficult movement to play without going all out, though! Try playing two-thirds of the fugue, your hands battling each other as well as the cello, with Brahms throwing in thick chords, polyrhythm, and huge leaps in both hands as overkill-it is hard! Though possible to do graciously. =)

But hey, at 14, I was barely playing Debussy arabesques...

Valdir1981, so true

[Valdir1981]

As my teacher said: sometimes this is a wonderful piece, but sometimes it´s a war, the piano against the cello.

[inaned]

Well said! :)))

[ivylwl2]

I think so^^

[piano6861]

I think you two are a star duo! The performance is very exciting. About the balance- there are only a couple spots in this where I actually couldn't hear the cello. She should pull back in those for the next performance. I thoroghly enjoyed the playing of both. Congratulaions!

[Tenisar]

The piano is way too loud...at times, you can't even hear the cello being played.

[munzonikia]

wow. this is really too fast. there is so much being said between the piano and the cello parts you just cant to justice to all of it this fast. the painist plays too loud alot. realize that this piece isnt just for cello and the piano as an background part. the 2 instruments have to work together. the pianist really plays too loudly. she kind of drowns you out

[munzonikia]

i think the pianist is also rushing you somewhat.

[frogcello]

braviiii....bea e boris duo perfetto!!!!!:)

[Strider3000]

Nice job buddy but you kinda rush!? Dont worry I do to

[inaned]

Right - I can't help it yet. :)

[TrittInDieEier]

Wow

really well played allthough the piano is too loud sometimes you don't even hear the chello any more.

[Timrdx]

too fast

[fchu]

really good, i think the piano overpowered the cello though
