  • can't listen to kadenza! I've seen 11 videos but can't listen full version! :(

  • @ananoana9612

    check out Part 2 (watch?v=PP6TpBkR25k) around 3:25

  • At 6:25 begins a passage that - to my opinion - strongly resembles for instance Rachmaninoff piano concertos style, especially the third one. But also perhaps Tchaikovsky, something from the russian school.

  • You picked up something obvious but not often mentioned... Schumann was Tchaikovsky's favorite! And Rachmaninoff used to say that "music has ended after Schumann and Tchaikovsky"! Strong musical/spiritual connections between these composers...

  • In WHAT way?

  • Schumann's music touches and affects me like nothing else can. For me, he is the one.

  • spirited allegro affetuoso, yet flowing gradually and controlled to the cadenza heard many interpretations.....must rank highly.....perhaps what Schumann intended...hrrsfrdd

  • to be honest, it;s not my favorite music...

  • i like both martha argerich and richter.... richter was probably a better pianist...but the best is dinu lipatti. hands down. for this piece at least. the emotion in it... is beyond words.

  • dont like marta argerichs... this is bvetter :)

  • the 4:04 and 4:23 mark give me chills

  • @titusbeertsen I have never heard that name before...should check it out in Wiki...

  • @MozartK365 Indeed, I recall that he regarded Medtner as the best composer (of his time at least).

  • Beautifully rendered by the Pianist and the Orchestra. It has the power to touch and move me to a subtler state of consciousness........

  • @truecrypt Rachmaninoff really said that? I can hardly believe it
