Tha pianos bass sounds amazing

[marymroe]

I'm considering this as my next piece to study. I'm more interested in continuing with the Beethoven Sonatas and Chopin's Nocturnes. But my 102 year old Aunt sent me my Grandmother's 1894 sheet music for this and it has her notes from when she last played it in 1977. So, I'm thinking, continue the string.

It's rare to see a woman with beauty AND talent here in the U.S. but beautiful talented women seem to run rampant in other countries...

Haydn ranks with Mozart and Beethoven! Doesn't he? What a gift. I also enjoyed watching Availa's wonderous performance. This was great! Siddhartha Marr, Composer.

Hello,

I want to thank you for looking Ivaila's videos and for the nice comments you posted. (if posted)

The thing is that Ivaila is one of the best Bulgarian pianists, but she decided to close her career because of the reality in Bulgaria. (corruption and envy in music). There are few more of her records I will upload soon and that will be all from her. Thank you very much again.

Best,

tsatchev

Great performance....sensational music....Haydn piano sonatas are wonderful !

[CuriosusSum]

I love Haydn. He is often underestimated. I place him at the level of Schubert, above Mozart, and below Bach of course. In 1997 when I lived in Seoul I bought a 2 cd box in an underground market. Piano sonatas by Haydn, played by good old Alfred Brendel. Marvellous. This performance is very good too.

[AngelofMusicMelly]

@CuriosusSum Why below Bach? what do you like that much about him? and above Mozart? I agree about shubert.

[CuriosusSum]

@AngelofMusicMelly

Thanks for asking. Well, of course, this isn't an exact science, merely my own opinion. I love the neat pretty melodies of Haydn, without too much fuss, but with great precision. Actually, I can't really describe it. For me, Haydn carries more 'ting' with it than Mozart. Bach's music is simply miraculous. Well, there you go, I can't really explain....

[marcellamalia]

bellissimo!!!

[Swashbucky]

Very good sound quality and the piano sounds good too. She is playind very well.

[eeh282]

i love her playing^^

[mbialoncz]

Very good, but a little bit "too modern" interpretation .

[scluna44]

Great performance, but I think that she would do better on a different piano. It seems like one of those pianos that is too sustainy.

[EdwardWhelanPiano]

Maybe it's the acoustics of the hall.

[dangunwangum]

I would definitely like to see her perform live. She plays this piece so gracefully.

[muchian]

Superb! Impecabil atac al clapelor.

[marialuciaroca]

I simply love her interpretation

[ErKa132]

It (she) sounds like hammerklavier: "short touch"?. Masterpianofreak: here name is Tsatchev.

I love Haydn's sonatas, but man, this looks complicated. Beautiful playing.

[rnlaing]

[powerkites16]

Amazing!!! I loved your interpetation! I'm learning this piece now and I love it!

[bassslayer]

wonderful playing, very colorful and crisp articulations, you are also easy on the eyes... but I could just listen to you.. the sound you produce is very beautiful as well

[bRoKeNxR0s3s]

simply lovely.

[masterpianofreak]

I like her interpretation of this piece and

look at her smile 0:15-019...that's bit funny but cute! who is she?

[Emusic18]

Wow. This is great. Incredible performance.

[snejnatakralica]

Cool! I watched her on the national TV- she was very beautiful and her performance was great.
