It is truly a shame this video has been seen so few times. Such mastery and innovation deserves the utmost respect; THESE are the videos that should be hitting 100,000,000 views!
I'm just a student but I have been learning this piece,in my spare time, for the last 6 months or so and I can only imagine how much effort you put into this piece. I'm truly astonished at your performance. I've picked and picked for mistakes, I haven't found anything...Amazing! Minnesota, USA
Sorry, I really did not like your interpretation of this piece. For starters, the dynamic range was horrible. Loud and louder. You completely disregarded a couple of Gershwin's dynamic markings and to be honest, it hurt my ears.
Some of the embellishments were really off. The triplets of the main theme were way to fast and the swing on the theme at ~8:00 on part one was just cheesy.
You're extremely gifted on the technical side, but your modifications don't fit this piece.
This is a really wonderful arrangement! Some of the sections are better than Gershwin's version--much more pianistic, playable. You do away with parts of unnecessary difficulty and come up with better solutions! (like 3:45) Can I please have the sheet music? Let me know, and I'll send you my e-mail in a message. Thank you very much and congratulations!
Man, when I was searching for a Rhapsody in Blue piano cover on youtube, I didn't expect to find one of such quality.
Your version fits my ideal of this song, you did every single sound as I wanted to hear it, and I certainly know that playing Gershwin is hard work, and won't please everyone. But as I see in your comments, everyone seems to enjoy YOUR interpretation, which is truly amazing.
I like it even more than Gershwin's version himself, so yeah, thank you for the music. It made my day.
great! Slow part you play very nice!! You are very musical, but fast part is much worse. You need better technics. I heard on this server many bad performances and i am sure yours pertain among betters.
I have a score from my friend, but when i match it with your playing, seems that some parts are different. Do you mind send a copy of score to my email too? Thanks. You are from Kiev, so you are a Russian?
I can send you notes only in the beginning of August, I should print them. You have absolutely truly noticed distinctions with original solo the version. I did the edition. As soon as I will print, I will necessarily send to you on mail. Yes, I am Russian.
Let me be the first to say your arrangement and interpretation of this classic is first class, and so is your performance. Your arrangement is well worthy of publication and you should seriously consider this when you have it all down on paper. Very well done indeed, you should be an inspiration to pianists everywhere.
Thanks. It is pleasant to hear a good estimation of the work. As soon as I will print completely scores, I will publish them on popular musical sites. But there will be it in August, I now not in Kiev. If want, I will transfer scores to you personally to e-mail.
Beautiful, I can tell it that piece means a lot to you.
