Grieg Piano Concerto, 1st Movement, Pawel Mazurkiewicz

Argh!!! The piano intro was so fantastic,but he ended it aruptly. WHY?!?! If he delayed it for awhile more,a longer holding note,this would be one of the best renditions!

Certified Intergalactic! Grandiose!

beautiful.

I'm learning that the correct way to perform from memory is to not rely only on your subconscious muscle movement, but to actually know the piece inside out. If u understand the melodic and harmonic structure of the piece, know what happens where, sing the lines in note-names and follow them through, u will have confidence. This is not memorizing, but breaking the piece down n then playing it as if u're placing every note on purpose. It actually makes practicing an exciting experience!

you're 100% correct

This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this magical piece that I have ever heard. Bravo to Agata and Pawel!! Splendid!

SeanMan87 INCORRECT Arthur Rubenstein rarely used sheet music, neither did Yehudi Menuhin.
Easier to know a song inside out without the score that you push yourself to KNOW what notes you will play.

Ahhhh!!!! They cut the end of the movement!!! Blasphemy!!! lol

it's very good. but i don't feel a great power coming from the music. this is really hard to describe btw. look for finlandia by jean sibeluis played on piano the one with the guy in a church of his hometown or something like that and you will hopefully see what i meen

haha i cant believe this goes for 10 minutes i mean seriously come on... i should be playing...-_-
