By: FredilYupigo. on 13 Sep 08, 17:31:39 I'd say it's actually one of the easier ones. It is the inverted theme that Paganini originally wrote. You might to see the Wikipedia article on this piece for more about the inversion. But if I remember, 18th variation is not incredibly technical. If I recall ... By: violinplayer94. on 31 Aug 08, 13:44:30 If I recall correctly, the 18th variation is something like the original Paganini theme played upside down. I'm not quite strong enough in music theory to understand how that works completely, but that is what I was taught. I hope that helps! Btw, excellent performance, and thanks for posting! Amazing performance! By: GoodfellaJohnny. on 29 Aug 08, 10:52:15 Amazing performance! you can also use ... By: Schizm512. on 27 Aug 08, 02:40:46 you can also use the un-nailed side of your thumb.

By: lizzieodonnell. on 12 Aug 08, 21:26:45 Sliding your fingernails is easier on your hands than sliding the sides of your fingers. You can hit the notes more smoothly too. I know from ... By: bolshoyespasibo. on 04 Aug 08, 00:52:31 I know from experience that a glissando can be rather painful (it involves sliding the fingers straight up the keyboard rather than striking each note separately). By standing up, you can adjust the angle of your hand so as to make this process a bit easier. Or, who knows? Maybe the music did carry him away during the finale! good performance By: jazzerzoe. on 03 Aug 08, 15:28:56 good performance He is genious in ...

By: doubefugue. on 03 Aug 08, 15:16:33 Pletnev is a master technician who allows the music to speak for itself. His interpretation is clean and precise. The listener is free to react and interpret without any overlay of emotion or pyrotechnics on the part of the pianist. This is a brilliant performance. I find the ... By: Haeronthegreat. on 21 Jul 08, 18:45:40 I find the Totentanz quite silly. Must have been dead fun to write though :) I like the B Minor Sonata personally. That is Lisztian thematic development at its finest :) Also, Totentanz is Dies Irae ;) Glad you like Liszt though; always a good sign! What, you've got to ... By: TheCrimsonSpeedster. on 21 Jul 08, 17:22:30 What, you've got to be kidding, Totentanz is one of my favourite Liszt pieces. It really allows one to get a view of the soul of the composer. You may be right about it being the Dies Irae, but in my mind it will always be Totentanz :). I don't think it's ... By: Haeronthegreat. on 20 Jul 08, 18:11:33 I don't think it's a Totentanz tribute. God forbid anyone tribute that :P it's fun but not really that great. It's the Dies Irae, one of Rachmaninoff's favourite motifs. It appears all through the Rhapsody and other works. the tribute is much ...

By: RichardKastleMusic. on 31 Oct 08, 05:27:08 I had no idea that Chopin wrote a Scherzo in D minor, but that's not Argerich's fault. As a musical description of a fire hydrant this interpretation is magnificent. As anything else, it is, quite frankly, just so much steaming dogshit. This is muddle, not music. I play this with fire, expertise, and mastery. She plays it like she's just had sex with half the judges on the panel. Oh yeah, she really did. Uh, that wasn't a ... By: vladimirhorowitz. on 30 Oct 08, 18:53:44 Uh, that wasn't a mistake and it had nothing to do with Argerich. The video actually CUTS OUT before the last note sounds.

By: yourforte. on 12 Oct 08, 16:17:30 One can criticise Rachmaninov for being old fashioned and too Romantic for the time in which he was writing, but surely no-one can deny that this melody is one of the most beautiful in all of music.

By: RichardKastleMusic. on 16 Nov 08, 08:19:20 So do I give a shit about a lowlife, degenerate like you? Nope. And do you know what's really hilarious? The fact that you think the "true greats" as you consider them, probably commercial pianists like Perahia and Horowitz, don't blow their own horn is abject idiocy. Have you ever the Argentinean whore above talk about herself? I doubt it, you don't travel in those circles. I do, and I've laughed these people off, then gone to the piano and left them shitting their pants. Oh? I don't have a ... By: RichardKastleMusic. on 16 Nov 08, 08:15:22 Oh? I don't have a reputation? The fact that a cretin like you isn't familiar with my pianism really doesn't matter much, does it? Considering that Cziffra told me that he'd die to have a technique like mine. That Shostakovich looked me in the eye and told me that if he knew that someone like me would come along, he wouldn't have abandoned solo piano music.

By: rustywires. on 26 May 08, 01:51:56 Most people are born with a predisposition toward some kind of activity e.g. math, visual arts, music, athletics, etc. To succeed as a CONCERT pianist you almost certainly need perfect pitch, a super memory and fairly large, flexible hands.

No one is "born" with it, it's all learnt since the piano is a human invention. It wasn't there until we created it, so it's impossible to be born with it. But if you've been exposed to music since the early days of your life, all that does is give you a headstart ahead of others. I think what he ... By: rustywires. on 18 May 08, 21:18:25 I think what he means is, to succeed as a CONCERT pianist you need to be born with it.

By: kajohada. on 07 Jun 08, 06:31:13 ...yea,all came from wilhelm furtwängler,the orchestra was completely involved in his sound and the personality,but also in the "3.reich"[have a look at my hp:"the reichsorchester"]but karajan formed it more and more as to his ideas,especially precision and the certain colours,he surely is a great orchestra educator but also a careerist who got into"nsdap"three times because it was of use for him.but i also like the vienna´s more and its pretty suspicious for me:bach,mozart,haydn->karajan-no!;)) -----> HOW such an ... By: z666z666z. on 07 Jun 08, 02:45:22 -----> HOW such an orchestra could need the conducting of that jerk. Under my personal point of view, he is the most closest conductor to the amateurish conducting of Ozawa, who i consider among the famous, the worst conductor on earth....

So i lost contact with Berlin Philarmonic, and i was thinking : Tht F.. yatataa... (S.R.) is conducting too many times this orchestra............And LOL... he was the chief conductor. hahahaha. I really can´t believe ----> ----> jerky ... By: z666z666z. on 07 Jun 08, 02:38:18 ----> jerky conducting ( he use to move his arms just exactly in opposite symetrecal direction) and with pseudo "relaxing " habits...etc. In other woirds i just hate hius conducting. And as a person he was worst ( for me). Finally when Abbado came, it was a kind of musical resurrection of that orchestra... new breath ..new no "Dogmatic" aproach, new life.... It sounds a kind of Austro-Italian spirit like a Mozart alive music. Later on Abbado was changing littel by little his conducting ---> What ??............ ... By: z666z666z. on 07 Jun 08, 02:34:16 What ??............. Well . it´s incredible how sometimes when you really don´t take too much interest in some musician, orchestra, etc. you forget to actualize your information. I really (despite is a great orchestra) never enjoyed too much Berlin Philarmonic, becuase i hate Karajan conducting. Despite he was considered one of the great, for me he was a kind of bluff, and a person with an extreme very good luck. I considered his music aproach a kind of: Speed before anything else. ---> ....its worse than ...

By: z666z666z. on 05 Jun 08, 07:31:09 Uhmmm kahojada sometimes i think serously if Brendel maybe has a kind of direct "Heaven" voice who explain to him the real knowledge of the ancient masters.......yatataaa... yatataaa... and the yatata conductor maybe is learning that maybe too.. LOL. So funny they look somteimes like they are platings a kind of horror movies....and gay maybe? . :-) when Brendel say : I am not sure... of what? . LOL. 666

By: octave4. on 24 Jul 08, 11:03:03 It is unfortunate that many (not all) Asian players have been influenced by German professors who are demanding that they pay strict attention to the score. Please, do not blame the performers for the mold they have been cast in. After the twig is bent is it difficult to straighten the tree. Even their Korean and Chinese teachers follow the rigid training and will not allow players to interpret the music.

By: bluematrix109. on 26 Jun 08, 13:19:19 yes Jason, true virtuosity desn't just come from technique alone. According to research and historians, Beethoven himself wasn't known for his pianistic technique, rather for his skill on improvising. Liszt and Chiopn were two of the supreme virtuosos the world has ever produced; good in sight reading, improvising, technique, EVERYTHING, but what good is that if u cant inspire anyone with your OWN music?there r soo many medeocire musicians out there makin more than doctors for crying out loud!

By: jasonextreme. on 17 Jul 07, 23:23:17 I was really surprised to hear the teacher's comment about virtuosity between 6:28 to 6:36. I believe this is a true fact because these days, you never come across a modern-day pianist such as Liszt or Chopin because no one is coming up with any new compositions. Eventually, the critics are going to want something more or new. This is why I feel more comfortable composing than playing someone else's piece so that I can inspire a new generation of true pianists. It's Greg Brown. ( ...

After hearing so many of the young "hot-shots" playing Mazeppa, Feux Follets, the Mephisto Waltz with all their breathtaking power, technical prowess and brillance, it's marvellous to hear somebody really play LISZT - Liszt the great and profound composer who was on an equal level with Chopin, Brahms and Schumann.

Then they should have really thinked giving you some personality classes because hell - you think your a god because you came out of a great school? So what? That doesnt make you the brightest mind in the universe. Russians are good in what they do - but some people are better, and not russian.

By: bellefille141. on 07 Jun 07, 08:56:46 zm177 : Russian music is very special, just ask any professional, or take different CDs and compare Russian pianists playing Rachmaninoff to others and you'll hear the difference. Anyway, watching you play on electric keyboard makes me think you are not pro, so do I really need your lessons? I came out from best music school of the world. Cheers. But does every ... By: zm177. on 06 Jun 07, 21:04:29 But does every piece of music have to be played by a person the same nationality as the composer? Playing other people's music is about how musicians interprets the music, the same piece of music may be slightly different each time someone different plays the piece. This is what makes music so exciting. If you think that music is restricted to the country or origin then you have a very small mind. Russian soul? LOL.

By: bellefille141. on 24 Apr 07, 15:35:56 No use to play Rachmaninoff if you are not Russian....if you don't have Russian soul... You might have ... By: Alessandro1985. on 24 Mar 07, 22:36:52 You might have intelligently disagreed with me - but only a simpleton would claim that I was contradicting myself. It is perfectly possible to write slush (i.e. uninspired music in bad taste) with great facility and competence. The example of Korngold exemplifies this. Korngold was as talented as Mozart. There are countless examples of this throughout the arts. Look at the painting of Veronese. He was not less skillful, talented, competent, than michelangelo. But he was a lot less great. Ummmm sir you ... By: KennYWooD2. on 24 Mar 07, 07:04:41 Ummmm sir you obviously have ABSOLUTELY no idea what you're talking about! In fact you basically contradict yourself by saying that Rachmaninoff was a talented and competent composer only to go on to call his music slush. Have a clue before you open your mouth! Excellent point. ... By: sshuck. on 19 Mar 07, 04:04:35 Excellent point. My favorite example is how people deride Tchaikovsky for having no technique, but in his day he was widely criticized for being too German (i.e., too formalist). Yes of course he ... By: Alessandro1985. on 14 Mar 07, 13:15:19 Yes of course he was a master craftsman. He also possessed supernatural mozart-calibre musical talents. He did not put them to real use. Although this is really difficult to describe. His compositions simply don't convey a new vision of the world. They aren't inspired. The great composers show you a new vision of the world. It is like he's stuck inside the piano. He's not looking at the outside world and describing it with truth. I sort of agree ... By: bsmusicd. on 09 Mar 07, 06:09:18 I sort of agree with you that he his a lesser composer than those listed, but I always wonder if that is a bit of bigotry towards non-german music on my part. It's funny how little music by non-germans pre-1920 is taught in theory classes, ect. I think the idea that Rachmanioff is pure glitter and show often has more to do with the way he is played that the actual music. In addition to being a fine melodist Rachmanioff had an incredible mastery of counterpoint and musical form. You are right, but ... By: DavidEmilio. on 06 Mar 07, 15:06:32 You are right, but please don`t forget Chopin He was, however, ... By: Alessandro1985. on 04 Mar 07, 15:01:04 He was, however, definitely one of the greatest concert pianists in history. Look, Rachmaninoff ... By: Alessandro1985. on 04 Mar 07, 14:48:16 Look, Rachmaninoff is the main part of my repertoire. I spent my teenage years in love with his stuff. It's very fun to play: it's dazzlingly glittery and shiny. But, it is no where near the best music ever written! He's in the top fifty greatest composers. But he is far below Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, Brahms, and Debussy. They are the sons of God.
