@chrish12345 What are you talking about?!

[lagathy]

i think he's saying that with each new fugue entry/variation on previous ideas...you should emphasise its new colouration or tonailty (be it forte or piano) so that the whole thing doesn't simply become of mess of sound. amazing videos anyway..i love these masterclasses and i learn sooo much from them.barenbhoin is something of a structuralist genius i think.

[shiadani]

someone can explainme what want to say barenboim in the 0:59 to 1:30 please?,thank you

[charmoka]

@shiadani I think he means that the sudden appearance of a larger "leap" than before (in the same motion) needs to be highlighted, and so he should play a little softer leading up to it. Someone please correct me if that's wrong...

[charmoka]

@shiadani I think he means that the sudden appearance of a larger "leap" than before (in the same motion) needs to be highlighted, and so he should play it a little more stronger. Interesting, he says that it is "temporary", because that sudden "leap" is forgotten for a little while, until it returns later. Anyone please correct my answer...

[xgianpatrick]

@shiadani Shiadani, the first statement uses a leap of a compound M3rd (a consonance), while the interval of the leap of the second statement is a M7 (a strong dissonance). He says that one expects another 3rd after the first statement, so the M7 is not only a change of pattern, it is a startlingly dissonant change of pattern. It's not the size of the leap, it's the resulting melodic dissonance that he's talking about. Cheers!

Wish it were longer. Fascinating study of the sonata.

[ichbinpabloaguirre]

Schade!!!! Why is it enough time for today???????

Daniel, you must comment the developement of the thema up takt 85!!! You have change of tonality! How do you explain it?

[Grigor99]

What's not to like about Barenboim? The guy is a super genius. Amazing musical mind.

[gitaclick]

@Grigor99 I wish he were younger ;))))))))) 

[slobone]

You can see how Barenboim's years of conducting gave him the tools to explain his ideas to other musicians.

[gitaclick]

@slobone and all of the briliiant teachers throughout his life...

amazing masterclass! excellent one :)

[ytpiano7]

Despite i am not a fan of Baremboim. But very good and clever indication specially to the fact of not interrupt big lines (phrases). A thing very common...even in some famous pianists.

All the fools who comment onu tube have no idea how much thought goes into the simplest things. Players DEsign. ANybody can move fingers .How many of us even notice structure, rythmic quotes ,etc. when we play or CAN HEAR IT ? ETC!!!

[LVB1770]

lovesGenet, I totally agree! Barenboim's statement, You must use every oppurtunity

to come down when you can. That has changed and improved my playing in everything I do and think of in performance. I highly recommend this DVD box set to all Beethoven fans, even if you don't like Barenboim!

[slobone]

Yes, you need to be constantly shaping the music. In a fugue, bring out all the little places where the voices imitate each other, as well as the times when one of them starts something new. Don't be afraid to exaggerate contrasts. That is when your musical personality really starts to come through.
