Pre-Description:

This is a very special video. It is very rare and I have look everywhere for one as such. A very special person gave it to me. He was a member of this Youtube community just like me. I first found this video on his channel, but due to the badgering of some especially pestering trolls, he took down his Youtube channel. From his background, he deserves respect and through his time and effort spent to pass this video down to me, I in turn respect him a great deal. He has shown me the dedication of one who loves music as much as I. I have not received permission to use his name, so I will uphold his anonymity.

Description:

This video portrays Arthur Rubinstein as an amazing teacher as well as a famous pianist. His technique is impeccable and truly inspires the youth with his interpretation of the piece. I am learning the piece right now and I have learned so much from this video and I hope it will preserve Rubinstein's legacy as a teacher and continue to inspire.


Once again thanks to the person who sent me this video.

  • The world stops when Rubinstein begin to play at 2:55 til 3:30. There are not words in this world to describe such beauty.

  • @nuberojadom001

    Yes, very true.

  • Rubinstein is over 90 years old in this video, and almost completely blind, but his mind was not diminished at all. If it is somewhat painful to watch him try to find his place on the keyboard, but once he does, he makes music as beautifully as he ever did.

    The greatest piano recital I ever heard in my life was Rubinstein in 1972. That luminous sound he created seems to still be in my ears, and certainly in my heart.

  • This video presentation, showing Rubinstein expressing his piano playing technique and then seeing his instructions performed by a student, is truly very special. You may Watch, listen, and learn from it, then repeat what you take away with you to your musical instrument or simply keep what you learn in your mind.

  • @rekab7070 then tell me

  • "Grandioso - not pompous".... the best critique I ever heard. Bravo Rubenstein!

  • Rubenstein is such a cherub! Always preferred him to Horowitz. To this day, I believe he is the greatest Chopinist who ever lived. 

  • @nikumuMINA There is a big difference between Rubinstein and some "anonymous dude" to those of us who can hear the difference.

  • @rekab7070 tell what the difference between him touching key and a very good but anonymous dude playing the same piece as him.

    their is no

  • @rekab7070 Yes, I was also nearly at tears when I saw this once grear pianist searching the right keys.

  • @TheRenair Lang Lang disliked this video.

  • fuck! who's the one dislikes it! fuck..fuck fuck

  • i just wanna give him a big hug
