[MrOlogramma]

You have understood what Brahms would say! The abyss of The death

[maxflower13]

i prefer it slower like this.

[doodlesxlove]

anthonyB777- it is actually a country called Slovenia, not Bosnia

[cyk77]

i love you

[rafant44]

Absolutely perfect!

There is no need to hurry in this piece.

[ivelosthewilltolive]

Most people play this too fast. I like it better slow, but this is a little too slow, especially in the B section...

[AnthonyB777]

BOSNIA'S GOT TALENT!

Thanks, that was superb, along with the other videos up. Love the ChopinEdude 25 no; 2.

Give me all the "thumbs down" you want, guys. It doesn't change the fact that Koblar's interpretation would drive the great composer to suicidal ideations.

[thedinbadur7681]

i agree with you, this is the first time i've heard this piece and i couldn't make out the melody. i looked for other pianists playing it and realized she's playing too slow and her voicing is totally off. where in god's name are the feminine endings???

[leomulder]

Beautiful place, beautiful pianist, beautiful playing.

[benz981]

I think she was sensitive when she played this, but it did tend to drag a little bit. I must say though, I DO like how she treats the lines at 1:05-1:12, and how she caresses the dissonant/resolving harmony at 4:10-4:20... that was quite nice.

[fanny0820]

@benz981

can you explain what you mean about : "the dissonant harmony" ??

[blast127]

@fanny0820 Some parts, Brahms intended dissonance. It's not intended to sound wrong, like when there's a second played together, but rather, there's beauty in the sort of sound in this piece when notes that are generally considered not "harmonic" are played.

[Iamabigfatpiggy]

well...this piece is much more beautiful than that...you need a long long long line...it sounded too broken to me...and need the warmth of sound...also, voicing...

[gaugin1903]

So right! even if she is playing this very sensitive too. I like Glenn Gould playing this, as a jazz improvisation.

[mephisto66773]

i like you too! ;)

[katsumitokus]

very good performance !

I like you Irena..

[fgttrio]

i guess it will be much better if it were a bit more faster and pedal.

[lourak]

Her sparing use of pedal is her undoing, unfortunately. Where is that rich Brahmsian sonority, here? Not to be found...

[bassodivo]

You can create that rich Brahmsian sonority through the use of pedal, how so, i thought the sonority was created through touch and a deep understanding of tone color.

[palcsi]

Beautiful contemplative quality. Thank you.

[friendlybarman]

great, thanks. Tho play this is necessary too much inspiration!
