Edvard Grieg, Melody

[InsanePuppy11010]

Grieg is like, one of my favorite composers.

Ever since I first heard the city orchestra preform In The Hall of the Mountain King I was in love with his music.

[bbrittanyyful]

Is your piano Cline, by Young Chang? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I also have the same one and feel that the keys aren't firm enough...

[Klangzauberer]

@bbrittanyyful It's made by PETROF.

[bbrittanyyful]

@Klangzauberer OKAY.

[WImpromptus]

Esta melodía se le dediqué a mi pequeña hija cuando nació, hoy tiene cuatro años y siempre está pendiente de tus videos, al igual mi hijo de tres años. Quiero que ellos también conozcan la música y tengan tu talento. Gracias... William.

[paulostroff99]

Awesome

[Noxoxox]

you should use more dynamics and tone colour. u might wana know some backgrounds of the piece as well to help you and the piece work together. to me, it sounds a little bit boring. but keep it up! its stil gd

[PaolaPalma26]

melody no. 3 op. 47

[verillina]

very very nice. I love Grieg!

[leskom22]

could you post the exact name/ opus number of this piece please? I would like to learn it, but I havent been able to find it from Melody/ Melodie alone. Thanks!

[fnglert]

Opus 47, nr 3.

[Chomikmk]

It's so beautiful! I'm going to learn it in the future...

[angrymormon]

i loved it. thought the tempo changes made it beautifully intense.

[UtterObliteration]

GORE

[Apoca82]

so in my opinion, it's a good job, you do (:

[Keverprins]

Is the name of the piece just melody?? Im looking for the sheet music but I cant find it anywhere :S So could you please tell me what the entire title is. TY Excellent playing BTW ;)

[Klangzauberer]

Thank you :-) The name of the piece is just "Melody".

[mynameisyibble]

He has about three pieces called "Melody", if it helps, this one is Op. 47 no. 3. :)

[Spongebobbkn]

It's in the music book "The Great Piano Works of Grieg" It's a Warner Bros publication from a series of books and has a picture of Grieg on the cover.

[Klangzauberer]

It is actually in one of Grieg's lyric pieces. I think in the fourth book. There are several publisher who used his pieces for "best of" collections.

[Spongebobbkn]

I'm sure it is in that book as well...?

I didn't say the "best of" collection - I quoted the exact title of the book which I have in front of me, which does have this piece in.

[Jade1777]

Omfgggg this is so incredible. <3!

[Imonlyjokingyouidiot]

My only wish is that more of the "average" populous could have recording devices of superior sound quality.

[bach9079]

Heaven sound!!!! Thank you.

[paulmaurice0]

Très joli. Merci

[martinakory]

I have loved Grieg for a while now, but have'nt been fortunate enough to "trip" against something new from him. I am wery grateful to have found this video of yours. I love the piano and you play wonderfuly, thank you.

[costep]

nothing to complain about:)

[ExaltationofDroll]

Can't see how a person could question the increase in tempo... sounded like it was necessitated to me, and I had not seen the score or heard this piece before viewing this interpretation.

Solid and moving playing. You got me into Grieg.

[alilelf]

Magnifique!

[rbmusique]

Why are you changing the tempo?it is not mentioned for us to play rubbato.try to keep the whole song in a single atmosphere and it will shurely sound better.

[Klangzauberer]

Well, if you look into the sheet music you would notice that some parts should be played "piu mosso" which means faster.

[kristiemunro]

same, I checked when I saw ExaltationofDroll's comment, because even tho I was following my score it said piú mosso(more movement) at the bar he begins to change tempo at first. So...they ARE following score directions.

[lehamain]

You understand that the "piu mosso" does not mean a sharp change of pace. Here you much wrong

[Klangzauberer]

I think it's a matter of taste. In my opinion my changing is appropriate but I understand people who would find that it's too fast.

[mynameisyibble]

Piu mosso just means 'more motion'. How much more motion is up to interpretation...

[fortune32]

Ye..well you do it badly..it's just too "brusque" (sry i'm french) and sudden, poor control, can be done better. Otherwise is good.

[bzzzzbzzzzbzzzz]

oh, and if I may be so rude, it's rubato, not rubbato. Sound like a rubber. Besides, rubato isn't the only way to indicate more freedom when it comes to tempo and style.

[LuukSki]

I used to listen to this vid daily but lost it when I switched to a new computer. The word Grieg just popped in my head a while ago and I'm so happy I found your vid again :)

Keep playing, its awesome!

[Jeeves1952]

Wonderful! I just sat down after a tiring day to a glass of wine and a bit of cheese...and trolled YouTube for some Grieg. This video was the perfecct acompaniment. Or vice versa, perhaps.

[Klangzauberer]

Thank you! It's great to know that this piece topped off your evening in a way.

[magnusgeit]

Great :)

[Marturtle]

Beautiful! Could you send the sheet music??

[Josetang]

excelent!!! congratulation!!!

[penidinho]

Pretty well played! (:

Hey, could you send me the score of this piece? I'd love to play it as well...

Peace!

[Policeofficer92]

achso danke :D

[Policeofficer92]

wow this is realy amazing.. i'm crying everytime i hear it :'( well, i heard it in tv the first time and i searched for it soo long and now i found it..i'm so happy..but what's the name of the song..it's of edvard grieg ok..but the songtitle?? sry, if my english isn't right, im from germany :)

[Klangzauberer]

Das Stück heißt "Melodie".

[Trebostad]

The piece is from a collection called "Lyric Pieces". Its from book 2 or 4. I think its 4. Opus 47. And the name is Melody/Melodie/Melodi.

[Ermete4]

I miei più sentiti complimenti...

[Jozzilee]

this is rabbish please put more work to it before going on youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nastied]

its still beautiful.

[dnklr]

Hey.. try to play the same piece and show us.

[fadedrose6561]

wonderful!

[mychemicalsarah]

you could use more ribato, its gets kinda boring in all the repeat sections

[80JC08]

good^^ quite beautiful i agree, and clear ^^''

erm, you might wanna put in more heart ... if you kno what i mean?

dynamics, too -soft can be more soft maybe??

overall great playing XD

[Klangzauberer]

You are right. I could have played softer, especially in the "piu mosso" part. There the music becomes louder and louder and to improve this effect I could have began more quiet. Thank you for your comment :)

[spogee]

wow...

[lynetteisroxxor]

this is absolutely gorgeous!

[broadcass]

Nice.

[joeblock88]

gorgeous - nice clear chords and good pedal work

[JohnRizek]

Beautiful....
