a brutal masterclass

[Vesivian]

piece name?

[perduretas]

Is this brutal?

[AngelaKikuchiKneale]

I couldn't help but think of "the Hungarian Barbarians" :-D giggle

[ludwina45]

Qui est cet hystérique ?

[EricTheRed03]

dah dah dah, chop chop chop..

[Vanafiz]

Enjoindre à un élève d'être brutal en portant une chemise rose. Intéressant.

[WilliamEGD]

lol that's not brutal. Seriously, that's what teachers do when they want to bring out the best in their students

[UlfenDaddy]

@WilliamEGD I am very glad there are no videos of my lessons with my best teachers... innocent bystanders (like my mother) thought on occasions that we might actually attack one another. I shouted back at them and fought just as passionately. Several times I and a certain Master (mistress) ended up wrung out, hoarse and covered in sweat; Franck's "Symphonic Variations" did permanent emotional damage to us both, but we Both play it better for the experience. (I was also 15 when that occurred.)

Ginastera would not be pleased at such an instruction. It is marked "gaio" at that point in the score.

[JJKjaer]

@shubus Yeah.. I don't know why, but I often find that many musicians misunderstand some of the music from the south-americas. Like music by Ginestera and Villa-Lobos, that gets brutalized and primitivized. But I have also heard quite terrible, and very aggressive and unflexible interpretations of Bossa-Nova-music.

Typical french asswipe

[nao1163]

wowwwww i am so jealous, this pianist is super talented and famous internationally and in canada!

[cinemats]

WOW! What a cool piece. What is it?

[pskim731]

@cinemats Ginastera's piano sonata #1, first movement.

[PPchopin]

What piece is

[bizintin]

He has the energy of the piece of music. It is not a Strauss waltz. He would be different if it were. The coach's responsibility is to also determine if the student is a lovely swan who swims on serene waters in the moonlight and incapable of the power to slash as a wolf, gobbling up the night for prey. If the young woman can gain mastery of her own power she can then be fierce in her own behalf, pursuing her career and when necessary in her life. A plus for her.

[yodiepants]

Sounds like an athletic coach. There's plenty of suffering in, say, bicycle racing, so why not in piano performance?

[jjsmithct]

I worked on this Sonata for a while with a teacher when I was younger. Never really got it. Would like to revisit, but wonder if I'm able. Difficult piece...

[musicman43]

loathsome

[radudeATL]

Ginastera!

[Hervinbalfour]

My old teacher was worse! LOL

[vitesenzafine]

He shows he cares! Many teachers in master classes seem always on the verge of falling asleep

[iamliina]

but hey,with a teacher like him,you can be very successful ;] but then again he's so scary!!

[bambee]

this man needs some therapy xD

[bizintin]

@bambee

Just a thought.....release your own dragon power to be a great warrior; not as a slayer, but as a creator of immense beauty in the face of insurmountable odds. I know your life can make a major shift toward goodness. Accomplishment is no longer for the faint hearted and those who think they are mentally disabled. I know I have walked, and am walking that path.
