Hamelin speaks and plays Czerny and Chopin-Godowsky for BBC

[Acornthepianoman88]

nobody plays like the king weaver

[jscgreer]

It amazes me that they're interviewing a pianist...yet they only show his hands a few times...and usually not when he's actually playing. This is always rather infuriating because one can learn so much about a performer by watching how they play.

Thank you very much for uploading this! I remember someone posted this video up a long time ago, but didn't write in the description what programme the clip came from, and I spent hours searching like mad for the name of the TV programme. :p

@tomekkobialka Hehe, I remember that video! :)) It was split into 2 parts, for some inexplicable reason. Now you know where it comes from - this is the only part where MAH was featured, however.

That Chopin-Godowsky is one of my favorites.

Does anybody know what piece he plays a @3:21?

[RicAbapo]

@pianoman1234 haha! i know! First time i heard it, i was like "hey, this sounds so familiar..what is this piece?? *scratchin' my head*" and after several tries of hearing it again i was like "hey it's my sonata!! hahaha" lol (played months ago) yeah, it is Sonata in F major by Franz Josef Haydn, i forgot the Hob number, sorry..i think it is 26? not sure.. but it is the Sonata in F :)

[Sorcerer88]

Very interesting, i love Hamelin. By the way, the Kapustin in the beginning is Toccatina Op. 36, awesome piece.
