Horowitz plays Schubert Moment Musical No. 3 in minor

[Astrid78950]

Gut !

[FlyingGold]

Chardee Macdennis :P

[xXkikujiroXx]

Awesome grand father playing piano :o

[shadowjuan2]

Beatiful this is music, real music

[DoctorMDF]

Music of a genius performed by the maestro himself.

[ragtimest]

very nice

[Melobigfun7]

lajk ako ovo posjecujes samo zato jer ti je slusni sutra :/

[ivekf]

@Melobigfun7 jebena istina nikad ovo sranje nebi sluso

[1982vlatko]

@ivekf ti si kreten

[Strmy100]

@Melobigfun7 nažalost da :/

[BassicStorm]

@Melobigfun7 neeeeeeeee

[tjtheplay]

Horowitz was the most sensitive interpreter of this musical.

[jzhou03]

Shin

[Classicfan94]

Amazing pianissimos

[Titilebesst]

Moment musical is correct, it means Musical moment in french. Moments musicaux is the plural.

[Montyleeny14]

The piece is a 'Musical Moment', not 'Moment Musical'....

[MegapPlayer]

@Montyleeny14 NO it is Moment Musical at least it is written Moment Musical on my sheet

[Montyleeny14]

@MegapPlayer 'Moments Musicaux' would be acceptable, and it is French for 'Musical Moments'. :-) Therefore, it's respective English translation should be used in this vid, and the one currently used is wrong. My score says 'Musical Moments'.

[MegapPlayer]

@Montyleeny14 Thank you for informing me

[tdzida]

this guy is old like the song but very nice song

[snobscure]

@PJinBston So, Horowitz's playing was very idiosyncratic, and yes, he often didn't follow the score. I'm curious whether you're objecting more that he didn't follow the score, or that you believe his result wasn't musical, or that you believe he got undeserved praise. Let me ask: if you had *only* heard this interpretation, and you didn't have the score, do you think you'd consider it musical? Would you enjoy it?

[TheCalypso2046]

excellente interpretation

[davischongs]

i like how he goes, 'two'.. =3

[instantcuppoodle]

@davischongs lol two does not equal three

:3

[davischongs]

@instantcuppoodle its a picture of a nose.. do you get it?

[KlassikFan2007]

For people to stand up after something like this, so 'slow' and so 'boring', one should really be a Horowitz... this is actually the measure of the pianist's talent.

[Vesivian]

Soo boring.

[TheUfoleader]

@Vesivian L-O-L

[Rumil20]

@Vesivian you are

[jimenafabulous]

es el excelente, 100% musica se los aseguro

[MegapPlayer]

It has been only 8 hours since i got this piece . And right hand is really hard for me . My advice is don't be in a hurry to get this piece .

[smjsychj]

Can you stop coughing?

[eloneslo1950]

Formidabelt - gid jeg kunne det samme, men jeg er stor tilfreds med at lytte og se <3



[DSOCTORAPK]

Brilliant!

[ihorsechina]

pure magic



[makerofjam]

0:33 is just terrifying. The man probably had more power in his little finger thanmost of us have in a whole hand.

[PJinBston]

@makerofjam

in fact the FBI required him to carry a permit for that finger.

[deernardz]

oh he fancy huh

[MegapPlayer]

idiot director i want to see his fingers not his face

[quantumhighlander]

Excellent playing

[violetavalery]

HOrowitz te amoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[keruchan483]

what was with the hand gesture at 0:10 ???? "radical duuudes"

[LdotSouthern]

DAMNNNN DIS CHOONE IS HAWT. HOROWITZ IS ON DAT PIANO PLAYIN CONCENTRATION TING U GET ME

[LdotSouthern]

@LdotSouthern LOOK AT DA HAND GESTURE HE DOES 2 DA AUDIENCE AT 0:10 DUDE IS BAREEEEEE RUDDEEEEEEE. HE IS SICK AT PIANO DOE SO U NO

[Garpinator]

@LdotSouthern What language was that???

[LdotSouthern]

@Garpinator I literally have no idea.

[Juleessy]

its a shame that artists like Lady Gaga get such a huge following on youtube, when in my opinion, this sort of music is the sort that should be recognised!

[Aourc]

My favorite classical piece! People used to go to cafe's during Schubert's time and listen to recitals where only his music was played-they called them "Schubertiads"-love this interpretation!

[enecee13]

i adore this interpretation! its definately one of the most famous recordings, not without reason!

anyway... i made a recording on my own, and i would really like to get some feedback on it... of course, its nowhere near horowitz, but its how i feel this piece of music. please, visit my channel or just insert this into the url to get to the video: watch?v=CFMOqYqYtj4

thanks a lot! i appreciate it

[ipmoic]

It's all about atmosphere and setting a glorious musical mood.

I'll bet only a fraction of listeners understand how much harder it is to perform a Schubert Moment Musicaux or impromptu than a Liszt Transcendental Etude.

[kilikinho]

Also ne Augenweide ist der alte Sack nicht gerade. Parkinson sei Dank war es musikalisch knapp akzeptabel. Abgekotzt hätt ich denoch schier. Hört mal auf alles zu Loben nur weil man Klassikfan ist. Emotionslos wie eine verschrumpelte Kartoffel.

[berlincitymec]

@kilikinho

Immer noch deutlich mehr Emotion als du zu haben scheinst. Und zum Glück gehts eher ums Zuhören als ums Zusehen...

[DoctorD47]

and people loooove justin bieber...

[SuperStacker360]

You can barely hear it haha

[0172240254]

nice piece.i've played this;)

[pianoplayerpro]

only 2% of people dislike this

[funklover24]

Wonderful playing - a real master.

[PJinBston]

@funklover24 . . . of distortion

[AKMANORCH]

He so simply puts feeling into the tune. Love it.

[sirmattu777]

Death to those who dislike!

[shirtseeker]

This is an amazing interpretation of a -most often played way too violent- piece of music. I'm loving it.

[TheGrandBrand]

@shirtseeker

Yes, Horowitz is a true artist.

[PJinBston]

@TheGrandBrand

a con artist

[anushka751510]

i play it , very beutiful

the player is cool(but a little bit old)

[alinnman]

@anushka751510

Pianists of this world-class calibre only get better with increasing age!

[ancientsolar]

16 people got offended he stuck his fingers up lol :D :D

[VFellhn]

the best interpetation i have ever heard!!!absoletuly magic..music is the most beautiful thing!!!SCHUBERT u are the ONE!!!

[fede16]

(sorry for my English)

It's too violent and big the differences between music and aplouse. I'd be glad to hear a little moment of peace and silence, just to think on what has just happened which is, by the way, amazing.

[yifuGroups]

very good

[MsPepperminta]

He plays it as if he's whispering in your ear. Brilliant.

[TheCXFavourite]

hey

which year has this been taken if you know that

[elpacoenfuego]

Was this an encore?

[TheFilone]

@elpacoenfuego Yes

[converscarlos]

Horowitz!!! Horowitz!!! Shubert!! Shubert!!! Shubert is one of the best romantic composers ever, a genius man

[MrAydemir]

RIP MAESTRO HOROWITZ! BRAVO MAESTRO! BRAVO!

[emopz13]

Супер е! Това произведение го уча в момента, но не мога нещо да го изкарам както трябва, много е трудно!

[TheAntonovich]

c'est géniale!

[DoctorD47]

its amazing to see someone his age play so well. bravo mr. horowitz!

[MrLammbrav]

small and perfect

[str8organic38mm]

left and up

[monicapianista]

che bello ricordo ancora quando lo ho studiato da piccolina...............♥

[meredith218461]

Horowitz was always a brilliant miniaturist.

[kyleclef]

I've always thought this piece just to be one of Schuberts mediocre ones, but after hearing it played like this, it must be one of the most beautiful pieces Schubert composed! I can't stop listening to it...Horowitz will never be forgotten. He made a huge mark in the classical music industry...showing that note perfect does not mean musically perfect. If you hear some of his last performances, the are tonnes of 'mistakes' yet, the soul behind his music is so individual. I love him. RIP.

[refaful]

14 n aiment pas ! la honte ,c est parfait Horowitz

[Musicismylife1711111]

Ahh, isn't it wonderfull? :D

[hinsxd]

0:01

[driemaaldrommels]

so this is what magic sounds like!!

[screamys]

he is so damn brilliant, omfg

[leoncioviolin]

bravo

[kilovic55]

no one can play this piece better dan horowitz

[stinsontx1]

@kilovic55 I agree, he has the most remarkable touch and variation of tempo for this piece. This is the definative No. 3.

[tank3890]

the best part is the amount of emotion he shows in this perfect note playing doesn't give you that.

[Mikepodrazil]

It´s very good..

[radiootoo]

one may 'get' the notes but OH! to 'get' the composer! the emotion!

[78Alster]

Do you happen to know what year this was recorded?

[65attila]

The master had more tonal colors and dynamic nuances in this single short piece than some youngin's could muster over a lifetime.

Bravo

[hutianyi2007]

Why I feel this piece describes a girl who is ogling a boy? XD

[benedetto48]

AWESOME!

[ChispiMagica]

in this melody dances my heart...my soul...

[Seshom]

I have hear this but dont know where =O

[pseudodionysis]

Bozhe moj!

[BassicStorm]

@pseudodionysis O_O jesi ti iz ex yuge ?

[pseudodionysis]

@BassicStorm No Italy, I simply speak some little russian. :)

[jessl0ve7]

ahhha peace.. love horowitz!

[thenotoriousadin]

BOW TIE FTW

[BassicStorm]

Schubert i LOVE YOU! <3 I ADORE YOU! thank you 4 this Masterpiece! :") And Horowitz is my favorite pianist :)

[Composerland]

Piano miniatures that are very well known are the most difficult pieces to play in public. There is nowhere to hide. Horowitz was wonderful: his soul glorified Schubert - in a charming way.

[tjtheplay]

Horowitz is the only pianist I know where he could make the softest note but everyone in the room can hear clearly.

[lizarthopinsky]

wows, he's such a nice person & and very good performer , !

[meesbroersen]

that huge sound at 1:06 , but still as tender as a butterfly... he had a magic tough...

[urbano277]

Look at his face and the sound that is produced and you can 1000% guarantee he is feeling what he is playing.

R.I.P Horowitz...( you should be immortal)

Btw I know you don´t have to see a artist face to see if he is feeling the music or not XD but HE is so natural

[carlescapist]

Just listen to that sound! Subtle but captivating. :D

[BassicStorm]

W  H O can dislike this? O.O

[MrAgnost]

@BassicStorm In one word. Ignorami

[BassicStorm]

@MrAgnost whats that ?

[ddmk0100]

@BassicStorm  ME XD

[RomainLeMusicien]

@BassicStorm

deaf people ^^

[BassicStorm]

@PJinBston HAHAHA jealous?

[PJinBston]

@BassicStorm

Well . . . if I had his skill level, I might have shown him how to play it.

[BassicStorm]

@PJinBston but u didnt, so FUCK OFF :)

[PJinBston]

@BassicStorm

it's cute how you temper your obstreperiousness with a little smiley thing :-) How sweet. Horowitz too could "smile and be a villian." See how he acknowleges his acololytes before sitting down to do the deed. They're all in on it. They know he doesn't care about Schubert's music so much as he cares about himself.  They know that when he plays it he'll just

cover it all in horowitz. - yuck!

[BassicStorm]

@PJinBston u dont know a SHIT bout Schuberts music

[PJinBston]

@BassicStorm

Grrr. You are so angry.

[BassicStorm]

@PJinBston grrrr ur so idiot! :) ENOUGH, Horowitz is great

[PJinBston]

@BassicStorm

ha ha ha ha ha! You sound like a some religious nut hitting his head on the floor and saying "he iss great, he is great, he iss great."

But of course you're wrong. Horowitz was not great - at all. He knew how to play the piano. But he did not understand how to play music. Horowitz was a terrible pianist.

[PJinBston]

@BassicStorm

ha ha ha ha ha! You sound like a some religious nut hitting his head on the floor and saying "he iss great, he is great, he iss great."

But of course you're wrong. Horowitz was not great - at all. He knew how to play the piano. But he did not understand how to play music. Horowitz was a terrible pianist.

[BassicStorm]

@PJinBston ^_^ dude who are u to judge Horowitz?

[PJinBston]

@BassicStorm

Oh, that comment again. Well, at least you didn't ask me where my video is.

But, who are YOU to judge him?

[BassicStorm]

@PJinBston lol im not judging, i KNOW like all - who is Vladimir Horowitz, but ur obviously dreaming

[juanmaaveiro16]

@PJinBston God I hate trolls get a fucking life. I am a noob at piano but even I can tell that Horowitz was one of the greatest pianists ever to live. We can all tell that you are just a fucking troll who knows nothing about music.

[PJinBston]

@juanmaaveiro16

"Troll" essentially means comments that one disagrees with. So it's relative. Mr."Noobatpiano" wants us to think that he knows what he's talking about when he's only just started taking lessons. With that attitude, he'll always be an amateur. "One of the greatest?" Why?

[pguitar13]

@PJinBston You're an idiot, or just ignorant - take your pick.

[PJinBston]

@pguitar13

Amazing. Your own words tell us everything about you. Dumb insult. No effort. No imagination. No understanding.

[pguitar13]

@PJinBston Coming from some random elitest retard saying Horowitz wasn't great - at all (lol) and didn't understand how to play music. That's pretty hilarious. Honestly you shouldn't even be allowed to listen to Mozart or Haydn since your ear is apparently that terrible.

[PJinBston]

@pguitar13 imagines a world where a ... um ... *select* group decides who is allowed to listen to what sort of music. I imagine one where a more sophisticated audience doesn't allow a crass showman to alter other Schubert's music for his own selfish purpose.

[pguitar13]

@PJinBston It's obviously too much for you to handle, so you really shouldn't be allowed. Honestly go listen to Justin Bieber or the Spice Girls, they might be easier to follow with that great ear of yours. If you could follow a score let alone appreciate it, you'd realize this is easily probably one of the best interpretations bar none. How does he alter Schubert's music for his own selfish purpose? I'd really like to know this since the score is in front of me and I play this piece.

[PJinBston]

@pguitar13

You're a liar. If it is in front of you. If you know how to read music then you're still a liar because you can see how he fucks up what he plays. Perhaps you like liberace approach. It's still crap.

His playing was all gross exaggerrations. Because he was lazy and cared more about himself and didn’t bother to understand the structure of a piece of music. He just played it & added what he thought to be expressive elements – strange pauses, strange dynamics . . .

[PJinBston]

...a heavy left hand that drowns out the melody (what is that weirdness at 0:52?), heavy right hand (BANG!BANG at 0:44) Again at 1:03 where the parts do not agree. A gross, heavy-handed and tasteless thing is his style. It gets worse! 1:05 - is there a word for the awfulness of this playing? BANG–BANG, then–fucked up the acciaccatura. Slow and quiet at 1:46 with – again – more the left hand louder than the right. 1:56 –what the heck! Is this the bow that he wraps around his clumsy gift?

[pianistPT]

@PJinBston people who shit through the mouth like you can sure shit through the fingers too!!!! impressive°

[PJinBston]

@pianistPT

What charming rhetoric. You combine invective with sarcasm, and creative use of punctuation marks, and you even include a thoughtful observation about shitting. Thank you.

[PJinBston]

... it's interesting how easily you rattle of references to pop garbage. That's not my area of knowledge. Yeah, you're a liar alright.

[manuelo0230]

@PJinBston WTF dude, I cant believe what I read, where the f do u live man

[pguitar13]

@PJinBston

I'm not a liar, am learning this piece and would give my left hand to be able to BANG BANG like he does with my right. With your great obviously armchair-musician analysis, it's obvious to everyone that you're ignorant or just too stupid to follow (let alone) understand this piece or any music for that matter. Take your pick again...

[PJinBston]

@pguitar13

Unless you don't know how to read a score and can't see how his style consists of capricious exaggerations -changed note values, gross variations in dynamics, and tempo -and that he often pours this stylistic crap all over what he plays - you're pretending. It's a central part of Horowitz's approach that he thought he was what mattered, even to the extent of re-writing Schubert's music to suit himself, and playing it badly.

[pguitar13]

@PJinBston Just accept that you're wrong and your opinion is biased and baseless. You know Horowitz chose this piece to play after let's see ~60 years of studying piano - I'm pretty sure he made the necessary effort to appreciate what he played. But keep arguing on youtube about how one of the greatest pianists of all time is terrible in your amazingly educated opinion ie see your "analyis" again.

[PJinBston]

@pguitar13

You're pretty sure, huh? But again you give only lazy rhetoric instead of an argument.

There are plenty of examples of talented people who become lazy, or who become infatuated with their celebrity. Yeah, he had potential, and occasionally he proved it. But the proof is in the performance.His performances are generally bad. Remember: Musicianship is only a means. It's not what he was capable of doing. But what he actually did.

[pguitar13]

@PJinBston Coming from someone comparing Horowitz and Liberace. That's all that needs to be said. I'm done arguing, you're ridiculous.

[PJinBston]

@pguitar13

You're done now? You never even started. Your comments are nothing but sophomoric rhetoric and insults.

[pguitar13]

@PJinBston And saying that any pianist at this level doesn't understand or didn't bother to (lol!) is beyond ridiculous. Go look in the mirror and tell yourself you suck at music in general and stop leaving retarded comments.

[PJinBston]

@pguitar13 adds to the lazy and unimaginative comments. Horowitz cared more about his own product - sort of like Liberace - a tasteless product for his beguiled audience. As for his "level" - actually he kept the bar really low. For all of his talent, he did not make the necessary effort to appreciate the music he was playing. He appreciated only how his fans would recieve his own mannered playing.

And there are so many serious musicians who can play this piece nicely.

[nicknickyoyo101]

omg, it''s like his hand is not moving!

[TheMikester307]

Watching him play you are seeing a long-vanished style of Romanticisim in pianism.

[Shizzlmadizzl]

crave his bow tie :>

[alexjrmarino]

This masterpiece by Schumann.. and no words about Horowitz..and after that some guy sticks out and says he plays moderately well.. guys open your ears.. NOT EYES!

[Shizzlmadizzl]

@alexjrmarino it's schuBERT not schumann :)

[alexjrmarino]

@Shizzlmadizzl I miss-spelled that, because I was in a hurry to bust the haters :D

[cantootnac]

eccezzionale!!! Un balsamo per l'anima e uno per le orecchie GRAZIE per essere esistito

[MrAgnost]

@cantootnac I don't even understand your language yet I know enough to see how much you like this piece. Music is international language ^^

[thike7]

schubert is the best and horowitz just played it amabilissimamente

[colmarketing]

very good¡¡

i love this piece

fantastic^^

[BassicStorm]

the end is beautifull

[tramwazhere]

The first time I heard this song on the classical music radio station, I immediately fell in love... And I fell hard. I can't get over how magical and hypnotizing it is! :D

[MrLouis91]

This song sound really amazing...! :x

[stevenniles]

Actually, Libetta, this performance was note perfect, so the robotic types should be satisfied.

[Lactoris1]

I think Horowitz had stage fright during this retirement concert. Many young amateurs play this Schubert masterpiece much better on feeling and technique.

However, I am glad he included it in his concert, reflecting the great importance of tihs little work.

[dialecticon]

exquisite tone control and he brings out the cantabile in the middle voices and the bass without drawing attention innecessarily

[aladinschneider]

A poor interpretation of SCHUBERTS MM 3

[Plowhandle]

And I suppose you can interpret this better ?

[tank3890]

@aladinschneider

i'd love to see you try and play this it takes a large amount of skill

[BassicStorm]

@tank3890 im playing this right now :)))))))))))))))))) and Horowitz do it Mighty! Amazing performance

[aghaanantyab]

old man can do it

[GaryColemanism]

lmao did he flip off the audience at 0:11? I know he didn't do that intentionally... or maybe he did to say stfu... but still lol

[Vantheman91]

@ Gary: I think he told the audience he would play two more pieces.

[Invisus944]

my name is mcdull
