EJsacasa Basically, if you have just one interpretation in mind, there’s no margin for error at all. You play one chord too loud or voice it incorrectly and all of a sudden your interpretation might not make sense and just knowing that could make you very nervous. However if you have a range of interpretations to choose from, then all of a sudden it maybe doesn’t matter so much that you put an accent here or there that you didn’t mean to, it simply means that you ‘transition’ into a different interpretation. That’s what I think he means at least.

​@@jamien.5528 He was actually improvising on the motifs of a piece, changing probably everything except the melody. As I see it, that way he keeps the music alive and fresh in his mind. As if you were taking many different pictures of the same sculpture, from very different distances and positions in space and under many different light conditions and exposition times. The sculpture is always different and it's always the same simultaneously, every time.

It is like "fingers go directly from your HEART!" I can feel it, and everyone does too, the music expressed through the heart. The mysterious Russian soul! Nobody can teach that,it's just IS! D. Trifonov is the best Piano performer of our time!!!!

Like the one called "Marcel Proust Jihad". The channel and the real school is founded by the wonderfully unique philosopher Alain de Botton. If you look at his facebook or twitter page you can find out more. They work with filmmakers from all around the world. You can check his online book The Book of Life dot org too. They have philsophical articles and short films in there. That philospher's entire work has a life changing quality! Especially the book " The Consolations of Philosophy".

Thanks, Daniil, for sharing - generously! - the secrets of piano music performing - all spectrum of emotions, slightest shades of them may be expressed by the same piece of music depending on how a pianist's feeling this very moment when he pays. You showed it perfectly.

Here are my lines to my recent poem about this that might be of general interest (the rest of it is mystical poetry). I hope to do some illustrations soon for it. leaning into the piano pouring his heart out through his hands he constructs emotions and bends the music to his demands Glenn Gould also did this. He could go into the studio with 16 different interpretations and play each one flawlessly, but to see Trifonov call out each emotion, mirror it on his face and make me feel each one in succession, with the same snippet of music, that until now I never cared for at all? And not only an emotion, but a spiritual connection. He calls this getting himself open.

I don't know if you guys still check comments, but I've watched all your videos in reverse order and find that this man absolutely fits the character Seymour Bernstein described as a 'composer that will never be'.

1:05 yeah. yeah, yeah, the second. When it depends, also, what is in the ears, for example, if I wake up and I have Schoenberg Opus 11 in my head -does that ever happen?- during last week it was every day I woke up with Schoenberg in my head. So I started the day with practising Schoenberg as a result. 1:45 yeah, because I hear ... 1:56 Isolation in the music can only deepen the understanding of music. But, of course, I always enjoy coming back to Cleveland or to Moscow where I have great friends, and sometimes I travel with my girlfriend. Sometimes my managers they sometimes go to my concerts I always enjoy their company as well but, at the same time, during the performance, it's very important to be not distracted, during the concert. I remember when I was going, for example, in the Carnegie Hall last February -your solo recital?- yeah, solo recital; and I said, for two days, please, no[t] any contact. -no contact?- yeah. -with anyone? with any of the outside world- yeah, basically. 3:08 of course, it's also a very important process. In this way, yeah, basically, you also have to exaggerate but in the way of sweetness and tenderness, of a phrase if the phrase is, for example, from Tchaikovsky concerto, again, the second time tune. 4:08 Basically establishing a closer connection to the music. When you feel that there is no physical distance between fingers and ... if fingers go directly from your heart... 4:35 Also experiment with emotion, it can be very sort of... 4:55 or it can be hopeful... 5:02 or it can be very meditative and just dreaming... 5:20 or it can be very, like, blossoming, when it's... 5:30 or it can be shy... 5:41 or it can be... well! many other ways. 5:58 any kind of activity from literature to any sport activity, or yoga. There is not much time for any other activity, of course, there are plenty of great movies and great literature; at the same time -- and plenty of fun ways to spend the day -- but, at the same time when you have new pieces by Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Ravel and Symphonic Etudes of Schumman there is not much opportunity to find ... -those other things-. 7:02 that, I just recently discovered 7:09 well, like if you, many pianists, when we warm up before a concert we just do it in the air. The same, the same as we warm up in the air it's also in the water but in the water, you have to have much more strength, obviously, because you cannot just play from fingers. Because in the air, yes it's - but it doesn't have any resistance. But in the water, in order just to play a simple chord, you need to work through the whole of your upper body, and it really opens up. 7:45 as well as another way, physical way of, just to stretch your arms, is to put the chair in this position and just lay, basically, in this way. So you have this kind of stretch is in the whole arm from shoulder, also you, mainly, you're stretching shoulder because you cannot play -was that something you devised yourself?- yeah, uh what is ... 8:25 as you're, basically, you're unable to bend anything here, also your finger. So, you're basically stretching - oh, is it okay with microphone? 8:41 also, you have to think of differences which is possible to find. Of course, 99 percent of them you will not use on your performance but just to get your imagination expanded and emotions rolling, it's really helpful, I believe. It's when you go and you just start... 9:34 so, all kinds of, what comes first to the mind. 9:48 well, maybe not in exactly the same way, it's just, well, what comes, some motif played in some different ways. it's just something to, of course, finally you will, in the concert, you will play it as it should be but the problem is that you've, you will roll, several times, the same modal of playing as you think you should play on the concert, then you will put your self a little bit in the cage of only one way and it actually will make you feel nervous and uncomfortable -if you're trying to stick to a routine? that you're doing exactly how you planned it?- that if you are, for example, in this way, or you're kind of trying to find the ideal way of, like in this moment, like how you feel it should sound, then it usually doesn't work, because, this way you are sticking yourself on only one path and you are narrowing the ways of playing so, so, you know, it's like you are narrowing it to such a way that it becomes like you're walking on a knife.
