Nice white gym shoes
What a lovely man.
@pureaKero Do you really believe that his presentation has anything at all to do with an authentic version and performance of a Chopin prelude??? More than 3% of the listeners were drawn in and romanced by the performance, which makes it perfect as far as I’m concerned!
@pureaKero Do you really believe that his presentation was about an authentic version of a Chopin prelude???
“Wake Up it’s Culture!” XD
i am speechless..
@MusicStudyMan While I agree that his address and his thoughts are quite moving, I would still have liked him to have place a bit more time into the version. I know he was trying to convey the basic form to the audience (hence the inappropriate rush at the climax, what he calls ‘stuff’ before the deceptive cadence!). I just reckon his point could have been more poignant had he just played the piece better (and I reckon he is a competent sufficient pianist to play this piece well.)
@pureaKero You missed the point. You were meant to be went by your thoughts, not the piece. He never claimed to be a concert pianist, he never said “this is the best” or “I am the best”. The fact you were not went is more a reflection of your emotional state and expectation, not his prowess and cleverness of playing Chopin. If you’re emotionally deskilled go get a CD of Valentin Lisitsa or someone akin.
@sckvevrbdy Absolutley right man!!!
Benjamin Zander gives us a lesson about “how to live” not just on how to listen or like classical composition.
He’s like classical composition’s version of MLK/JFK/Gandhi/Mandela/Jesus all roled into one. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of him before. Incredible.
ONE Buttock Playing FTW!
@skwucky Oooh, thanks!
wow
Incredible video.
@hero123213xdzero If you didn’t know what the initially piece is I reckon you are about to enter a wonderfull world of classical composition.
@RayCathode100 agreed
I will confess, I do the eyebrow lift on deceptive cadences now
)))
@hero123213xdzero It’s Mozart Piano Opus in C, K. 545, 1st movement
I have watched this several times and I don’t tire from it. Certainly one of the most inspiring people I have ever heard.
no i meant the like the very initially piece he played, like the more lively one xp
@hero123213xdzero Chopin’s prelude in e minor Op. 28, No. 4
what piece is that he plays in the commencement?
@takigan @takigan I agree to a very small degree. People like Nessun dorma, Un bel di, and other arias by the side of that line. But I’m talking about full fledged operas, listening to the whole thing as proposed. Liking an aria here or there and saying you like opera, to me, is like saying you like classical composition when you only listen to, Fur Elise, Canon in D, etc. There’s nothing incorrect with listening to these kind of pieces, but in my opinion that’s not truly “enjoying” opera/classical composition.
