Paderewski taught piano to my great aunt

@mrsacuhl

That's awesome! Paderewski taught piano to my first piano teacher's piano teacher. I call him my musical great-great grandfather. I wonder what the chances are of your great aunt being the same woman I knew??? I would love to find out!! I played for her once.

[mrsacuhl]

@organmommy Her name was Clara Yechout and she lived in Omaha NE. She was born in 1906 and died Nov of 2003. She taught piano until she was about 88 years old..

@mrsacuhl incredible...!!!!!!!! what an honor.!!

[mrsacuhl]

@defda94 Thank you! Yes it must have been!

[gerardbedecarter]

A fascinating historical document!

[kerry5101971]

Wow, what a wonderful beginning to have had with such wonderful musicians. Thanks for sharing this.

[ManilaSyndicate]

The pianist who played and recorded perhaps the best performances of Chopin for posterity.

that lady at the ends creeps me out

[marcheheroique]

I know what you mean...

[AngelicaTross]

We need someone who can read lips. If you know of someone . . .

[lsbrother]

He says;

" Hi youtubers, it's a real privilege for me to appear here. I hope you like my chateau - you are all welcome to come and stay with me and maybe we can boogie a little."

Or something like that - I couldn't make out all the words.

[Wacek4444]

that's retarded. Poor lipreading from u, dumbass.

[0512419]

George Bush!!! remember? "read my lips......"

I agree it's very sloppy to record silent movie. Missed opportunity of recording live Paderewski!

I am new You-Tuber, and find some comments very refreshing. Particularly from younger people. Paderewski's performances are keeping me glued to my

Apple.

One more thing, please do not bring ethnicity here. I hate this "..... he played for the nation.....etc.

[ElEsquisProductions]

You must read his book to get an idea of how polish he was... Im not joking!

[EricTheRed03]

reading lips is one story. but reading lips in black and white is godlike.

[herakles9]

Does anyone know Paderewski´s Piano concerto? I heard it couple of years ago. It´s a great concerto!

[pianoman76]

the info for this is incredible information, thank you for posting it!

[GetMeThere1]

creativebna, thanks for much for sharing the video--and especially the description!

[afertyus1000]

great, he looks like einstein,shame no sound,vyzeras ako einstein,skoda neni svuk

[norfomartula]

szacunek i pamięć!

wspaniały człowiek! doskonały kompozytor!

a jego menuet g dur to majstersztyk, który przyczynił się do ciekawej sytuacji. Paderewski stworzył go po to, by nabrać swoich przyjaciół. kiedy go zagrał wszyscy byli przekonani, ze to kompozycja mozarta, wręcz byli tego pewni, co się okazało to Ignaś napisał ten utwór. przyjaciele z trudem mu uwierzyli! pozdrawiam!

[heydumbass1234]

..In ENGLISH, please ...Not all of us can read (or speak) Polish.

[Maz9ma]

@norfomartula Dzięki za przypomnienie!!! Pozdrawiam

Aby ściślej określić zaistniałą w owym czasie sytuację, pozwolę sobie zacytować anegdotę zapisaną w pewnej książce, otóż:

"Z Paderewskim zaprzyjaźnieni byli dwaj polscy uczeni - prof. T. Chałubiński i A. Świętochowski. W czasie wizyt Paderewskiego w Warszawie prosili oni często mistrza o zagranie jakiegoś utworu Mozarta. Za każdym razem wyrażali swój zachwyt mówiąc, że nikt inny nie mógłby stworzyć tak doskonałej muzyki (...) W czasie jednego spotkania zagrał napisany przez siebie nowy utwór...

[DzikenS94]

...pt. Menuet mówiąc, że jest to utwór Mozarta. Na głośne wyrazy zachwytu i słowa, że obecnie nikt nie umiałby napisać takiej muzyki, Paderewski odpowiedział: - Owszem, jest taka osoba. Ten utwór napisałem ja sam (...)"

[Beckmesser2]

To Paderewski's left is his wife,Mme Helena Paderewska and standing to his right is his sister,Mme.Antonina Paderewska Wilkonska.

This Pole was very glad to see this film. My Paternal Grandfather was able to meet him and shake his hand. Thanks.
