Agreed, adding that she is very engaging and captivating also.

Fantastic! Thank you

Really Wonderful to see this insightful , short look into the Allegro Barbaro from a great performer and important teacher ! You are well known for your Ginastera ;would be also wonderful to hear you talking about your investigations,experiences of that literature too ! So much common sense and smart looking really reading a score ! So wonderful to hear analysis of what this music is saying and why . Bartok played Ravel and studied his music : really fascinating to hear this . We so often think because pianists get known for playing certain types of music that composers are limited in this way (who would think Serkin played Strauss' Burleske but yes he understood where the new German music was coming from ) but composers study craft . Brahms knew Couperin and edited so many composers : a true scholar .

Wonderful Bartók, wonderful inside to his music

Thats genius in music and story telling, passion real pasion...marvellous musician!!

loved it, can't wait for more videos!

A great masterclass! Studying with her must have been a wonderful!

Very, very enjoyable! Terrific playing to boot!

Many thanks for sharing.

Thank you, this was a great class. I've played that piece when I made my final exame, but my teachers never explained that to me. I'm going for it again, you are great, I wish you were my teacher 💗

what a fantastic and catchy teacher Barbara is! makes me wanna study this piece again soon!

Fantastic insights.

Thank you, Barbaro Nissman!

Sublime

Fabulous

Maestro Nissman, That was a brilliant performance and explanation!! I would like to pose a question to you: In terms of technique, is this piece as hard as Prokofiev's Suggestion Diabolique?? Thanks so much.

Not at all, sugestion is far more dificcult

I want you as my teacher ❤

Can you guys recommend a percussive piece that would be suitable for intermediate students (I have a picky 15-year old in mind.)

What’s your take on the version by Emerson Lake & Palmer from their debut album.

Brilliantly barbaric! I think it's outstanding.

Interesting where Barbara Nisman sits, her elbows are relatively low in relation to the keyboard height.

Very, very nice lecture! I‘m a little baffled though: Is it „la la la sol la (2 3 4) la la la si la“ etc., or „la la la sol la (2 3 4 5) la la la si la“ etc.? That long note sounds odd to me with 5 beats!

I noticed it too, she played a beat too much

@@MartynaKulakowska No she did not play a beat too much. She just put an accent (as Bartok himself indicated!) on the fourth note. When you look at the score you will understand- Bartok wants that accent on the G and and then on the B# (C) following. There are no extra beats here - just a highlight of the accents- the melodic/harmonic variation. Bartok did not want metronomic playing!!

If I may say, the playing needs more power and rhythm. More weight, but without banging.

How do you do more rhythm?? It’s either correct or it isn’t. I’ve noticed people use the word rhythm (incorrectly) when they mean something else. 🤔

@@jtt306 Rhythm is part of the expression. It's a combination of tempo, articulation, and accentuation. It's that feeling of people dancing, or the "grove" if you will.

I guess it’s a matter of semantics, but the actual rhythm in this piece is very monotonous. It’s the articulation and shifting sfz accents that make this piece interesting, not the rhythm. I agree you can make greater contrast of those along with fluctuations in tempo. Stronger pulse is probably what you meant. The rhythm is the value of the notes in the meter and that’s it. In some pieces the rhythm is very complex and requires exact precision along with a bunch of other elements, but this isn’t one of them.
