Intricate play is one of the most important features of Mozart’s piano music. Master Goode has given useful pointers in that respect.
Thank you for sharing this video.

Comment on Schumann’s Intention by Tamara

Very nice piece of writing and recording! I didn’t know about that Schumann accompaniment to the partita (only to the prelude or to the entire piece?) Are there any harmonies in the Schumann that are not clearly implied by Bach’s violin part? And how exciting to have a master class with Lester! Did he also talk about history of theory or analyzed with you guys the implied harmonies and voices in the original Bach (or simply turned pages…)? I know of a somewhat opposite case, in which a musician felt that a Bach prelude (WTC I, #1) sounded like an accompaniment to a yet to be written melody… so he wrote a melody to a text by the Indian poet Tagore—I’m referring to Shlomo Gronich’s “Al Na Telech” [please don’t go]. He was a bit older than you (14) and didn’t know that the prelude was already “abused” by Gounod in his “Ave Maria”… The anecdote is totally hilarious!
It’s so much fun reading you. Keep posting! Tamara

A real treat, thank you. Bach used this music also in cantata 29. Joel Hastings plays it on YouTube in an exquisite piano version. I have added it to my favourites.

By the way: I liked the anecdote. That was very funny!

Hello Ariel,
Really unbelievable this Pogorelich concert .
Don’t forget to tell me when you come to Germany-Berlin.
Also have a look at this young Dutch boy (15) who is becoming a famous organist.

Comment on Master Class in Piano Choreography with Andrej Jasinski by Tamara

Tamara — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 19:23:34 +0000

Hi Ariel,
What a lovely site and blog! So on top of all the things you do so well (Jazz, piano and violin playing, composing…what did I forget?) you also write beautifully about music! I truly enjoyed watching the video of your master class with Jasinski. He was marvelous in the lecture/concert on the Chopin mazurkas that he gave in the Chopin symposium, where he danced some of the mazurkas, but I couldn’t imagine how expressive a pinky can be… (of course, yours too!) Sorry I missed that master class and thank you for posting it on your site! Look forward to explore more of your site and blog… Tamara
