I like it how precisely and rapidly can she play but i really miss the feeling. good job anyway, i think i will learn it again, its just fantastic as you feel yourself when you play it..
ok she plays very good, but come on, fish nets and you really want us to not look the legs? or not coment the body? i mean you should always think what you wearing on a performance, if she just tape it for fun expect comment with no real subject on it jajaja still very very pretty legs :D
@FunnyRacoon COME ON GIRL! FISH NETS!!!!! i mean FISH NETS! hey how about this i will wear tigth pants and a tigth shirt showing my abs just because i love to make obvius comments not because i wanna show off to all those that dosent have a 6pack .... duh! or how about this! i didnt finish the college for the work! i did it because its fun to spend money in bullshit while i will be living fliping burgers and cutting gardens!
Very nicely expressed. Wonderful accuracy and sensitivity. The only thing I didn't like was the upper register of the piano - but the performance was spectacular! Well done.
Lovely interpretation. Personally, I prefer this tempo to the one I usually hear this piece performed at. Every single note in the piece is heard and none are lost in the mud. Thank you for posting this.
Wonderful played! I have played this myself, but I have an own inprentation which at least I find very cool. I like yours, you play with a lot of emotion, and have great technic as well.
Very well played! I remember how much I loved to play this when I was 15. It is exhilarating. Better at this tempo than much to fast. However, I found some of the rubato a little weird.
this is a very original and intresting interpretation! a breath of fresh air!!! (i have been playing this piece for over a year now, and I strugle with keeping it interesting but i think you have found a new and great way to play it!)
@Sonya, your performance is my favorite of all I've heard on youtube. You play the piece brilliantly, but as others have said, you do not blare through it. There is a slight push and pull to your tempo that I like -- at the very end of the introduction, you pick the pace up just enough to show that you could play it faster if you chose to. But thank you, thank you for not jackhammering through the piece like so many others do. Ignore the creepy misogynists! Play on!
So, somebody explain this to me. A very talented performer, does an amazing job on an fantastic piece. Yet, the highest rated comment is "i like her legs"
Seriously, guys? You couldn't pull your minds out of the gutter for ONE second, to appreciate a wonderful performance?
I remember I had some problems with some rythms in certain parts but anyway this is a real pleasure working on that toccata. and you can spend hours trying to get the best sound and interpretation... i simply love it !
@muffinzilla It's definitely the easy-sounds-hard type, if you don't mind it being in 6 flats. It's fairly repetitive and aside from a few tricky rhythms, it's not particularly difficult at all. If you're a decent pianist you should be able to learn it without much trouble =]
@FaythInTheMusic if she did not like to show her legs she would never show them particularly on STAGE! Wearing this kind of clothes means that she wants men to see it...
Well done girl! Wonderful performance - and the most important of all: NO over-speeding for the sake of impression - as the other two video responses did....:-)
Well done Sonya!!!! Much much better performance than the other two video responses!!!! They just try to impress by over-speeding and therefore, their performance comes out 'muddy'....you have stable and stiff tempo and technique and you definitely don't try to impress by speed -unfortunately, over-speeding in performances is like a 'must' in our days. .....
This was one of the best performances of this piece that I have seen on YouTube! You maintained your posture throughout the whole piece, and it was very musical and consistent. Only one flaw: at 0:50, the rhythm is wrong, unless you were using a different edition... Congratulations on a successful performance!
My God, you play so good. Aram would be so proud of you. Sonya, you look and sound so awesome. You smell good , too, I just know it. Kisses for Sonya, Oh yeah.
@PRObifidus -It's an Armenian thing...we like to "smell the girl" and make her feel REAL good inside and out. And every girl smells different! OK, shut up, A.
Finally, a piano recording done right - without all that artificial reverb that ruins everything. Listen to Horowitz recordings - none of that echo that you ALL over the place these days.
jewels like this make me love you tube. The piano itself is a star,richer to my ears than the " standardway". Wish I could be under the piano listening; blindfolded of course.
Can anyone help me? I am playing this piece and I am stuck. I cant play the section between around 3:00 to around 3:45. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to practice that section? (Please press reply)
aha that is the most complex part of the piece. just slowly go over it like you would any other piece (left hand then right hand) then bring them together slowly.
Hi Ash. Those 45 secs. are the most difficult to learn is because the rhythm in both hands is different. Around 3:04 your right hand is playing 4 notes in the time your left is doing about 6. Then the right does 4 and left does 10. My advice is try to look at the sheet music and see what notes are played at the same time. Then work out the ones in between. Also at 3:20 the left does an F minor scale up in octaves (simple, no?). If you need more help hit up my account for my e-mail. Good luck!
Thanks... I have the music, (I play horribly by ear) and I still haven't learned that part. Sad isn't it? I just find it difficult to play the 10 and the 9 and the 6 in the left hand while the right hand is doing 3 and 4. Also, on the part after the octave scale, I also am having difficulty with that. On a different note (bad pun), I have gotten a little better at the section all together.
You're very welcome :) I understand! It's super frustrating too because it needs to be practiced uber slowly and the piece is so fast! I'm sure you'll do well :)
well done darlin amazing ! u know u gotta be very talented then u can play some '' Aram Khachaturian'' stuff ,, congratulations !!! i wish u all the best ;)
Ceci est les exécutions les plus remarquables que je jamais ai entendu. Vous avez la grande vitesse et je peux entendre chaque note clairement. Travail REMARQUABLE. Garder à lui.
Sweet. It's the most musical and precise of all the performances I've heard. I hate it when people sacrifice musicality for speed. Thank you for not doing that! (check the left hand on the repeating D-flat minor chord section. When the F-flat changes to F-natural, the bass note should be an E-FLAT not a D-flat, if I'm not mistaken. ...not to be too picky or anything) :) Awesome job.
Very clean and well done! I posted a video response of me playing a few years ago. I prefer to play it up tempo just a bit, except for the rubato section
This is how the song is supposed to be played, controlled... Most other versions I've heard are sped up, a sign of lack of control, especially with this song.
It was very good, but I didn't agree some of the rubato during the triplet section.
True, there are many patterns as tfman15 said, but it takes a very long time to learn them.
I needed to know what the slow part sounded like because a lot of the rhythms (like 9-lets), there is no real way to count them...you kinda just have to fit them in, and I very much enjoyed the way you played them. THAT rubato was really cool.
I know this sounds very hard, but there's really several patterns in this piece that makes it easy if you get it (which I did LOL). It's very beautiful.
Nicely played. You didn't drown this in pedal like so many others have here. It had a nice clarity, good dynamic range, and you did some good stuff with the part-writing. The Bösendorfer's lovely too.
Finally! Someone who does not butcher this beautiful piece! Great job! Wonderful dynamic contrasts! Good phrasing! Excellent clarity! You really understand the piece (unlike everyone else on youtube). Thanks for this.
p.s. Please send this video to the Alladin Brothers, I think they need a reality check!
You brought out every bit of the beauty and excitement of this composition by not rushing through but by dwelling on every single individual beauty. An intelligent, sensitive and enthusiastic performance. Exactly the way I would like to play it. Bravo!
Very artistic performance. You have given lots of attention to the dynamic markings and also apply your own expressive interpretation. A lot of the performances on youtube are rushed and lack continuity between sections of varying note density, but you keep the tempo changes very convincing.
One of the greatest renditions of Toccata, if not the best. All the Khachaturian I can play is my muddy take on his Andantino, a fun, short piece. What I'd give for the the hands that can play this :).
I really enjoyed how you played this piece. Many people play it much faster with little emotion or feeling. I think the way you play creates more tension and release than most players.
I really like the speed you play it at. I think it's actually supposed to be played faster, but some of the people who play it that fast make it a little muddy.
I like it how precisely and rapidly can she play but i really miss the feeling. good job anyway, i think i will learn it again, its just fantastic as you feel yourself when you play it..

Comes off a bit more like an impressionist piece of Ravel, but very very interesting and at least original!

You brought out every bit of the beauty and excitement of this composition by not rushing through but by dwelling on every single individual beauty. An intelligent, sensitive and enthusiastic performance. Exactly the way I would like to play it. Bravo!

Very artistic performance. You have given lots of attention to the dynamic markings and also apply your own expressive interpretation. A lot of the performances on youtube are rushed and lack continuity between sections of varying note density, but you keep the tempo changes very convincing.
Great job! Keep posting videos. :)

a little too "well-behaved" for my taste but not bad!

One of the greatest renditions of Toccata, if not the best. All the Khachaturian I can play is my muddy take on his Andantino, a fun, short piece. What I'd give for the the hands that can play this :).

I really enjoyed how you played this piece. Many people play it much faster with little emotion or feeling. I think the way you play creates more tension and release than most players.

I really like the speed you play it at. I think it's actually supposed to be played faster, but some of the people who play it that fast make it a little muddy.

I like your approach. Most people play this piece way too fast for me. Where did you record this?
