milouribebotta: beautifiul interpretation. It remembers me the
one from Glenn Gould.
CarRotxXxTop07: this is awesome, i'm choosing songs to play for
a music festival and this is one of my
choices! awesome job! thanks for uploadingg!
dialecticon: Beautiful interpretation. Subtle and polyphonic,
not sentimental, but highly effective thanks to
its sobriety. Where do you study and with whom?
I am thinking this is a superb study piece
for developing the art of using arm weight and
expressing with colours. Congratulations, really
a lovely!!
VaVn57: too much pedal
anonymusum: A little bit too static, there could be more
romantic expression - and sometimes it´s simply
too loud, it´s a tender lullaby.
picklejar222: me too!
soistshalt: I like the changing between Es major and Es
minor...This 3 intermezzi have autobiographical
charakter (Brahms: The cradle-songs of my
sorrows) - Your version is my favorite -
meaning, this forsaken woman with her baby is
present...
Xsilord: You're truely a great pianist!
Thanks to you i'm discovering new pieces to
learn, and thanks even more to you for the
available links to the scores!
You're an inspiration to me :)
faraz1729: What a gorgeous piece.
I absolutely love your videos. Thanks for
sharing them.
swingballbros: Thanks very much, its starting to fall into
place now. :)
Aarondefyinggravity: Hi, i also play thi spiece, the best way that i
found to practice these basr is 1 to slow
right down, play maybe the whoel bass or part of
the bass with each part of the treble
(seperately, and then fit them together, see how
they fit in with the bass, then playa few bars
before and after and then build up to tempo.
hope this helps you?
onthewrocks: I know what spot you are talking about. Take it
very slowly, hands alone at first, and COUNT the
rhythm out loud as you go. It's a little tricky
but it all will fall in to place if you take it
easy to start. :)
onthewrocks: I have my senior recital coming up and I'm
playing this piece. Physically it's not very
demanding, but my teacher keeps reminding me
that it takes a LOT of maturity to get the right
style across to the audience. That's the
most difficult part. Your interpretation was
spot on, and very enjoyable, not to mention
moving. Thanks!
XPJamieXD: I can't wait :]
cubusdk: I like it, I will have it in my mind..
XPJamieXD: Very beautiful. Any chance of you playing Rach -
Vocalise?
swingballbros: Very well done, definitely my favourite version
on Youtube.I'm really struggling on the rhythm
in bars 50 and 51 (4:16). What's the best
way to practise it?
cubusdk: As I have posted two of the pieces you mention
I got curious about the third. I can only
agree that it is an excellent piece also. I will
post a version of 118/5 in December.
joaquindalessio: I love theese 3 Brahms' Piano Pieces: Opp.
117/1, 118/2, 118/5 and your interpretation was
exquisite!!!
cunningpal: I enjoyed this performance more than the
Grimaud video. The pianist seems to concentrate
better on the music, making the listener also
concentrate. It was beautiful playing.
cubusdk: I can recommend that you also watch the
performance by Hélène Grimaud because that
was what inspired me to play this piece. ID for
