Andrei Gavrilov plays Chopin Ballade No 4

[KarloFeder]

Zum Thema "Kämpfen"/ "Leichtigkeit": schwere Stellen erfordern Mut (nach genauem Üben) Letztenendes ist es immer ein Risiko..das man eingeht , um der Musik willen, vor allem, wenn man wie A.G. bedeingungslos bis zum Äußersten geht. Es ist im Sinne der Musik, schwere Stellen auch "kämpfend" zu spielen, sich "hineinzuwerfen". (..natürlich im Wissen um die seriöse, d.h. präzise Vorarbeit. Aber es darf nicht "Präzision" als solche hörbar werden, sondern Leidenschaft).

Ich bewundere A.G.

I still search a correct rendition oft his piece where the painist play the correct MELODY of the coda part. Perhaps, I´ll have to do it. Most simply don´t understand where the melody is, not pay atention to play it. When it reaches the last "scherzo" part, put some more sentiment ! That´s the apice, the top of the piece, relax and enjoy, there´s too much effort here! But the pianist has technique, for sure! He showed us ! that´s what he was trying to do...

It is not fighting him with the piano. Remember i.e. the Revolutionary Etude from Chopin - it is the circumstances that were struggeling against Chopin.

[bcbdaggtrf75]

phenomenal technique!! BUT, is it only me who gets the impression that much of the time he is FIGHTING with the piano, rather than playing it?

[Puchjok]
