It is not legit to have a masterclass with Schiff without yam-pam-pam.

The student is exceptionally good!

I wish I always had a Schiff on my shoulder telling me how to play better

I like it a lot when Schiff explains about Bach. He has really a deep understanding ("... like a bear dance ..."). Great!

This student is superb....

It is unbelievable that they play on the same instrument. Their tone is just so different.

I guess the student is still a little too "cautious", Schiff is more firm, which results in notes that are a little longer and louder in average

@@mariacasemyr i think schiff exaggerates and plays that way on purpose so the student can understand faster

hahaha At 0:35 seems like he is playing the pianola and immediately Schiff stoped that shit.

This short video is really an eye-opener. You get an understanding of the meaning of "Capriccio". Most interpretations of this piece are indeed too "metronomic". E.g., Martha Argerichs interpretation is certainly technically perfect but maybe this pianistic brilliance is not what Bach intended.

What I will say about these masterclasses is musicians seem to not be very good learners. If this was a sports masterclass, the student would ask as much to the teacher as the teacher to the student. A good student seeks feedback and clarification...Schiff is incredible and these students just seem to watch and submit as immediately as possible.

You're right. When I was younger I used to ask questions during masterclasses and then someone told me it's generally considered good etiquette to just stay quiet and take on board what the master says - keep questions to your lessons with your normal teacher. Now I think about it it seems a bit of an old-fashioned teaching method

They have music to play and get through. Students asking questions would make the session hours longer. I’m sure Mr. Schiff doesn’t come cheap and has limited time in his busy schedule. The Master teaches, the students play and do what the master instructs them to do. The exceptional students will sort out the details in due time. The Master, teachers and institution know this. This is not an instant process. If in the future one of these students is told that their playing is reminiscent of Schiff, they will instantly know that they failed to challenge themselves enough to have developed into their own musician…, or never really had “it” to begin with. It’s a long cruel road. And is kept that way by design by the pedagogy. Believe it or not, there IS wisdom in the process. The process is there to develop the tiny percentage of students who have the potential to become something very special. Everyone else is politely swept aside.

I LOVE...ADORE Bach

Bach schrieb hier Capriccio statt Gigue. So wollte er diesen Satz kennzeichnen, dass bei dieser Partita etwas eigenartiges im Gange ist, nämlich: sie ist die einzige mit nicht 7 Sätzen ausgestattet, sondern nur mit 6!!!!! Er wollte, dass jeder merkt, dass dadurch die Satz-Anzahl der 6 Partiten nicht (6 x 7) 42, sondern nur 41 ist, was die mittlere Bach-Zahl ist (J=9; S. 18, B=2, A=1,C=3, H=8). -Jetzt weiss es András auch (von mir..:-) ALLE 6-er Zyklen sind auf ähnliche Art und Weise unterschrieben.

Es gilt aber J=10 und S=19. Das heisst JSBACH = 10+19+2+1+3+8 = 43. Ausserdem ist Partita I B-Dur BWV 825 auch nur in 6 Sätzen, das heisst wir haben für die Clavierübung Teil 1 folgendes 2*6+4*7 = 40.

Very good

I like the way the student plays. What is the student's name and I would like to know if he made a video of this partita?

​@@Moorcheh Well.... my comment was more for reflection than a statement of a fact, but here we go: Playing a piece with technical excellence is already difficult, but playing a piece well, while also playing it with "soul", is significantly rarer to find. "Soul" is by nature a subjective topic, and cannot really be taught, only awakened inside the player or listener. One cannot precisely explain what it means to play "with soul", but one can more precisely describe what it means to play "without soul". For example, there are recordings of BWV 826 on youtube where the pianist plays blisteringly fast, but does nothing to add emotion or "life" to the piece (pauses, fermata(?), fluctuations in volume as a piece becomes more energetic), then there are recordings of players like Schiff. To me, playing with "soul" means one of two things -- either playing a piece with your own unique interpretation, making the listener feel as if they had just heard something new (while not defacing the piece of music in the process), or it could mean preforming a piece in a way that makes the audience feel as if it was exactly how the creator used to while they were alive, as if the player was overtaken by the creator's spirit for the duration of the performance. EDIT: I explained my answer, but forgot to answer the question. What we are witnessing here is this "awakening" of the pupil's "soul", by the elder instructor - the passing on of the flame of creation from one roost to another. Atrophy is easy, anarchy takes little effort to keep so. Despite also being mammals and technically "animals", humanity made itself free of the label "animal" through incrementally increasing order and complexity.

Came here for Harry and Lloyd. Stayed for Bach. Nice thumbnail.

Agamaz every piece is very good , you can learn a lot from each of them , but if you're starting out now I'd say you should start by the minuets or the inventions , they should build you up to start playing more complex pieces like the preludes and fugues with 3 voices , then with 4 voices , etc
