Perahia Masterclass

[japanesesweet]

He speaks differently to how i'd have imagined (high voice)

To a large extent I agree with his Bach/Czerny comparison though ironically enough i think if these studies do have any virtue it's that *some* of them are surprisingly expressive in their own right.

[marcxopoco]

He plays too heavily, too loud in fingerwork as compared to a top level technician.

[pila406]

@marcxopoco It is the recording. I've heard him live and on many other recordings and his technique is perfect, certainly not heavy. His playing is very fluid and light

[abmsghost1]

@marcxopoco Listen to chopin etudes op.10 nr.2 ,op.25 nr.2 with him.nothing heavy about it.Perrahia is in a class of his own.Exceptional sonority and master musician.We should not critisize pianists like him.

[marcxopoco]

@abmsghost1 ,

Josef Lhevinne, Simon Barer, Moriz Rosenthal, Ignaz Friedman, Josef Hofmann could play Chopin Etudes.

Not the pathetic Murray Perahia.

[wagneristhebest]

@marcxopoco are you an idiot? Friedman? Have you even listened to his recordings of them? They're hardly playing. And the Lhevinne only played op.25 6 and 11, hardly the hardest of the lot. Read a book about him and you'd realise he struglled with the opus 10 nos 1 and 2, the most difficult ones.

[marcxopoco]

Youtube authority @wagneristhebest has just informed us that the Chopin Etude in thirds, opus 25 #6

is "hardly the hardest of the lot."

Halfwitted wagneristheworst has posted an all time clueless Yourtube poster classic.

[wagneristhebest]

@marcxopoco hahahahhah good one! are you a pianist? have you played the etudes? read the rest of my comment.

[marcxopoco]

Cretin @wagneristhebest says the Chopin Etude in Thirds is "hardly the hardest of the lot."

Youtube --the home of the clueless.

[wagneristhebest]

@marcxopoco opus 10 no.1 and 2 are the hardest of the lot - so yes, hardly:)

[marcxopoco]

What @wagneristhebest knows about piano playing he could write on the head of a pin---and still have room for his name and address.

[chairrest35]

@marcxopoco Why do you feel so highly qualified to comment so authoritatively and tell others they no nothing?

[chairrest35]

@marcxopoco What is your problem?! So everyone who is dead was great and everyone living is pathetic? Your arrogance is astonishing!

[loveforever997755]

Thank you very much for posting this . Could you please, post a whole masterclass. I'm really courious about it.

[Rolland91]

whats the name of this piece?

[ploschad]

@Rolland91 Prelude 3 in C-sharp major from the Well-Tempered Clavier book 1, BWV 848

[Rolland91]

@ploschad thnx a lot :)

[cmonclair27]

So that would make him less admirable as a musician?! Come on!

[manuelegirolamo]

is perahia gay??? OH NO GOD

[MrGeeAl]

Perahia interpretiert den Geist von Bach wirklich Perfekt !

i love it

[Ellinidara]

What a gem.... !

[PachesatsutEnulaitsu]

I'M SO JEALOUS!!!!! :((((((( You got to meet Murray Perahia!

[beethovenbuddy]

he sounds like a real friendly guy lol

[Shevaron]

Murray is the one

[thankgoodimadreamer]

"use the technique for expressing musical ideas"

simply 5***** !!!

[CCMonster]

noooooooo wheres the rest of it ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[musick123]

Is there anyway you can get the whole video?!?! That would be awesome : )

[matthew1722]

uggh...., need the whole thing, this is just a teaser

[egitnyc]

You're a douchebag. Seriously.  MP is probably the best American pianist alive today.

[Thebookguy1]

Hey I happen to love Perahia's playing, just having a little fun. ;)

[rompellini]

your absolutely right! No doubt about it!

[darrenvile]

Way to copy Stephen Colbert... real original.

[Thebookguy1]

Oh come on! Why ruin it for me? :S

[kmjaemo]

Holy, I just noticed today that that stage seemed familiar... I performed on that stage during the GIna Bachauer International Piano Competition... sigh... I didn't make it past the preliminaries, though.

[Mikerizzle]

what was that demonstration eh was playing?

[equinoxxx]

The well tempered clavier by J.S. Bach, praeludium 3 in C sharp Minor (usually track 6 on CD of book 1 of the well tempered clavier).

[crizeff]

It's actually in C sharp major

[Wopsle88]

No, if you listen he says, "Sadness. . . you'll get it in the next one, C sharp minor." Which is true. The next P/F is kind of melancholy and is definitely in C sharp minor.

[chiuchiu123]

to peterhokland, the master class is too short,can u post the rest of them thank you

[maxscriptguru]

How on earth did the University of Utah get Murray Perahia to come to Salt City? Wow!

[dmcII]

Usually these things happen as a result of the artist being in town to give a performance (or had already played the night before).

[mikhailasanovic]

me too i thought he had a deep voice!! still, wise words from a true master, perahia's bach is unparalleled on the piano
