Nick thank you for doing this, it's a really nice piece, very well played by you. I think the first time I watched this video was the first time I heard it. Whether I've heard it before elsewhere or not, I've been thinking about this piece all day since I watched this video this morning. Thanks again and keep up the good work. I've watched most of your other videos, all of which are excellent too.
I want to hear the 1st and 2nd movements of Sonata Pathetique, by L.van Beethoven. Nice to meet you my fellow classical pianist. I want to hear your interpretation of that piece. I played it for my entry into Berklee.
Feeling is mostly timing and you get pressure with the piano and sustain I believe in the pedals which all adds to it...
If all of that was annotated perfectly it still wouldn't convey the same feeling to a group of people in one time as it would to another group at another time...
I know you were joking but it made me think... You simply can't bottle feelings completely and music probably does the best short hand version...
Is that what music is? Our attempt to store emotion maybe?
I wasn't joking. Pleas don't get me wrong, I thought it was good. I was giving some constructive criticism thats all. :) I'm sure you'll agree that classical music is a lonely breed all of it's own.
To your question. I think music in any form, but esp' IMO classical, is not to store emotion, but to reveal it. It is one of lifes riches that everyone can own. And to turn things around a bit, I think that one doesn't choose music, it chooses you...Which is kinda nice. :)
It's nice to hear that you play so well but I would've liked to hear more flow and less "plink plonk". Perhaps you need to use more of that echo pedal. =)
Beautiful. I really like these vids. Thank you so much for making them.
Mozart is one of my fav composers, as he is of many folks.
I'm grinning because I recalled the part in the movie Amadeus, when the Emperor told Mozart that it was quality work, but had too many notes-that he should cut a few and it would be perfect and Mozart (Tom Hulce) replied, "Which few did you have in mind, Majesty?"
The "too many notes" comment is purported to be true. Imagine that.
Perfect, this sums it up beautifully. Its like when a guy takes a fine wine, swills it around in his glass for a while, slowly raises the glass and draws in a sip. Then all of a sudden goes, WOW this wine tastes HEAPS good. Its all like awesome and stuff, can i have some more? It's at this instant your opinion on the guys ability to judge a fine wine fully on its merits gets called into question. Indeed this dude is heaps good and piano and stuff (^.o)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dear god make it stop. Leary timing and miss placed emphasis does not make a classical piece "arty". You just shoved your penis into Mozart's eye socket and stirred all around in there till you shot. I'm now going to step outside as i have some open weeping to do for piece you just wiped your ass on.
My own tips are 1) Make sure the wig is glued on securely as it kills the mood for the guy when it slips off mid way through the job 2) Shave my beard as thick stubble on the balls is a dead give away somethings not right, unless your a Greek or Italian woman (^.o)
Take note folks this is what happens when you let them up off the mat cause you feel sorry for them.
They start puffing up their chest and yelling come on, ya want some more completely forgetting you handing them their ass just moments before.
Im just gonna sit back and let life take care of this one. Its like a dude with a comb over who is blissfully unaware of how everybody else actually perceives him. BTW I touch myself to your comments, post more......
my memory of the pokemon theme songs is a bit weird since i've only played pokemon on the computer and i always used spacebar to use full throttle(speed = 700%).
I kept wondering what that weird resonance was, till I figured out it was you humming. At first I thought it was an empty soda can sitting on top of your piano.
brilliant interpretation! but try to cut down on the rubato.
