Bach Piano Lesson Preview #14 - 16 by Anthony Newman

[luisuny]

what´s the name of that they are playing on piano? could someone tell me?

[crescentridge]

He taught me spelling too :-)

[crescentridge]

Newman is one of teh frighteningly great geniuses of our time. I studied with him myself.

[sexypianista]

OMG. hate her playing.

[ironbrandon]

she got told. boom.

[litlemadguitarist]

I really want to learn how to play classical on piano. But cant find a teacher like him

[BenMcCormack91]

Very good musician, I think. Newman has wonderful technique, and is a very intelligent musician.

Personally, I tend to find the amount of trills/ornaments in his performances a little excessive, but he's still a reliably good keyboard player, and I certainly respect him.

[Kalen1457]

I like that little white piano.

[baroqueboy]

Wow, what a great musician and teacher! I agree that the german harpsichord he uses isn't the best-sounding, and I also agree that the little white piano sounds interesting, but why on earth does that student not seem to do any of the things Newman says? She seems to play it EXACTLY the same way as before, not taking any suggestions. Newman sounds great, and the student just sounds icky for Bach.

[Terrdemarzielle]

Eh? The first time she used the pedal, and the second time she played up and down the arpeggio like Newman said...

[stephen12470]

Early music concepts, COMPLETELY indigenous to this music, are pretty foreign to modern schools of piano playing. They're just not learning it. So, no, she didn't catch on too quickly.

[KhagarBalugrak]

@baroqueboy, I used to be that kind of unresponsive student. I didn't know how to use my ear to actually hear exactly what the teacher was doing. It just passed right over my head. I think, also, it takes time to learn a completely new pattern. She was doing the best she could. She's young. Maybe in time she'll become a better musician.

[baroqueboy]

@KhagarBalugrak Fair enough.

[danceofthegoblins]

I love Anthony Newman's Bach interpretations on the organ: I've never heard better and there are no words!

[jazzer0825]

ATTENTION EVERYONE: If you know where I can buy Anthony Newman's CD of the Well-Tempered Clavier BOOK 2 send me a message PLEASE

[mjncond]

I recently heard Newman live at Disney Hall in LA. It was one of the greatest concerts I've ever attended, and, I've attended hundreds. He's is a national treasure.

[indigoblue555]

Is the little white upright a Baldwin or a Wurlitzer ?

Thx.for sharing this video.

[GaleoDeus]

What a nasty sounding harpsichord. He's an incredible player, though. Her sound on that grand, however, is a bit muddy.

What is that little white upright? It has a very unique tone.

[stephen12470]

Harpsichord's probably just pretty out of tune.

[mnewbee]

Newman is the greatest Bach player of our time!

[stickom]

Not only Bach, his Mozart A- dur K. 331 most likely to be the only right one today as Mozart 'd like to hear, so is C- dur K. 545.

[hangassli]

Who can play TODAY better than the High Priest of Bach?

[SambaDisaWinner]

wow both sound fantastic
