Danke für die wichtigen EINSTIEGE!!!❤

I love watching Schiff’s hands. They are so quiet and relaxed. Many pianists seem to be contorting their hands as they play, making it look difficult. Schiff sits relatively low at the piano and his hands seem suspended by invisible cords like a marionette. Wonderful technique.

I saw him in a recital a few years ago (front row, full view of his hands), and it was a beautiful thing to watch. He’s one of a few pianists I could watch with the sound off and be satisfied.

The best lecture ever available freely on KZread! We in this time are so blessed to have access to this invaluable insight and knowledge.

This video is an immense treasure. It demonstrates that only a genius can do real justice to the music of another genius.

Nobody can explain Bach like Schiff does, just a wonderful master class on Bach's partitas and with his particular sense of humor. simply wonderful. Bravo maestro!!!

It was a wondrous lecture demonstration.

One genius composing and another interpreting and playing. Sublime.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful...thank you so much...

Bach's music has been my refuge and shelter from all the storms in my life. And now it is even more welcoming, thanks to Mr. Schiff!

Andras Schiff is the supreme interpreter of this music. He is also a supreme lecturer, giving a wonderful survey of all partitas, with illuminating remarks on all the movements. I love it.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! He is not only a supreme musician, but a teacher of rare excellence.

I've watched nearly every lecture and masterclass with Schiff that you can find, and this is among the best. An absolute treasure trove of musical insight. Thank you!

The music he played in the beginning was so beautiful and pure. The best part is he can make it so simple and beautiful

Magnificent ❤what a pleasure to listen and learn from the world is blessed by people like him

I thought I knew Bach partitas as I heard them many times - until I watched this! Thank you, Mr. Schiff!

I'm learning the B flat partita. This video is an absolute treasure.

I am very lucky to be able to see him in Toronto in 2023. He is exactly like this. His recitals are not structured and they are done by what he think is appropriate.

Schiff is for me like a father in things of music

The man is a genius. Preternatural memory, profound knowledge and deeply musical. What a teacher!

Brilliant performance. Mr. Schiff provides a most interesting explanation of what these works meant to Bach, and why Mr. Schiff chose to play them in this unique order, and with his particular interpretation. Thank you very much for sharing this great performance.

A genuine master performer and communicator.

Thank you for sharing this excellent recording!!!

Oh my, I feel so lucky to have access to this. Thank you.

This makes me appreciate the Bach partitas more. Thank you and God bless!

I’m so glad that there was no applause after the opening piece.

Yes, indeed, wonderful! Incredibly touching, such a great musician and person who teaches us so much. Thank you so much for uploading!

A 1 hour eye opening journey through the holy sacred paradises.

Schiff is unmatched in so many ways as a musician and human being.

Of course another wonderful and enlightening lecture by Andras Schiff. Bravo maestro!

Such a beautiful touch, so soft, rounded, elegant and effortless.

I really have not paid any attention to the Partitas, but now I am going to dig in! Thanks a Million Andras! Great Stuff!

Great performer and interpreter... Prof. Schiff

Thank you so much for posting this. I am an avid admirer of Schiff and this is invaluable for me as I am currently studying partita no:6

This is a gem.

Bach exemplifies the challenge as to what is notated and what is actually performed according to common practice and historical context. Sir Schiff András illustrates numerous examples throughout the performance lecture, and shows the thinking behind how to try to solve the challenge of interpretation. The deeper you go, the more there is.

Thank you so much Maestro!

Exceptional and informative, thanks again for another wonderful upload!

A long time advocate for the performance of baroque music on instruments of the period.

Звук, как он его извлекает.. фантастический звук! Волшебное видео.

Thank you, so interesting. Please, more of this kind of Videos.

Beautiful concert ❤

love this!

Not only one of the greatest pianists of all time, but such a brilliant teacher. Always we learn so much from him. Thanks for posting this. ❤

Wonderful, I enjoyed the different characteristics expressed in the harmony teaching. It is a completely different story if a musical person from India is requested to tell us what he feels when listening to each of the dances. Vice versa you can express what you feels when listening to ghasals sung by Nayyara Noor. So this is a new subject if we ask what piece of music gives us to what extent the hidden ecstasy which music gives us ? - not to mention the question from where music comes or since when has the world of music been created and by whom ?

Ipnotizzante!!!

There is another motive that shows up everywhere in the Cm Partita as well, not mentioned by Sir Andras. It’s a specific style brisé figure outlining descending thirds - it first appears to round off the Grave subject (Ab-G-F-G-D-Eb) then returns in the Andante and (slightly modified) in the Fugue subject, then it becomes the primary motive of the Allemande; it appears frequently in the Courante and Sarabande, and finally shows up in the second episode of the Rondo. The Capriccio’s figuration doesn’t really allow for it, but of course that movement has the most obvious appearance of the tenths and ascent by thirds mentioned here. I’ve heavily scrutinized the Partitas for motivic construction, and only #6 is as obsessive and specific in this regard as #2. This approach creates an almost subliminal sense of cohesion and kinship between the individual dances in this suite, going beyond the similarity of character and style you see in the other suites. It’s brilliant.

This is a typical minor mode motive in baroque music. See the Allemande from the third suite of Händel in D minor, HWV 428.

Il y a un autre motif qui apparaît également partout dans la Cm Partita, non mentionné par Sir Andras. C'est une figure spécifique de style brisé décrivant les tierces descendantes - elle apparaît d'abord pour arrondir le sujet Grave (Ab-G-F-G-D-Eb) puis revient dans l'Andante et (légèrement modifiée) dans le sujet Fugue, puis elle devient le motif principal de l'Allemande ; il apparaît fréquemment dans la Courante et la Sarabande, et apparaît enfin dans le deuxième épisode du Rondo. La figuration du Capriccio ne le permet pas vraiment, mais bien sûr ce mouvement a l'apparence la plus évidente des dixièmes et de l'ascension par tierces mentionnées ici. J'ai scruté attentivement les Partitas pour la construction motivique, et seul le n ° 6 est aussi obsessionnel et spécifique à cet égard que le n ° 2. Cette approche crée un sentiment presque subliminal de cohésion et de parenté entre les danses individuelles de cette suite, allant au-delà de la similitude de caractère et de style que vous voyez dans les autres suites. C'est brilliant.

thank you so much for sharing!

Where was this published? I tried to go to the Goldberg lecture but couldn't make it and never ended up seeing their publication. Thanks for that!

I once had a piano teacher who laughed rather stupidly when I told him that I sing some phrases when learning a new piece to make them sound more natural and meaningful on the piano. Turns out he was dying of alcoholism at that time, so maybe he did not understand what I was saying. May he rest in peace.

We never should laugh about other people performing art honestly, shouldn't we? I think, singing some phrases is a very valuable way of getting that rather clumsy instrument which the piano actually is into a cantabile mode. We just should not sing when performing for an audience, I'd say. There was one madman that even recorded himself singing while playing Bach, and I do not think he had the most pleasant voice ... 😉

There's a reason nations or political entities don't put a person's picture on their flags. The flag is intended to be a symbol that any human being can relate to without excluding anyBODY. As for the European Union, it is unthinkable that all members states would agree on Bach or anyone.
