Beautiful work, Cole. Gorgeous music brilliantly played. Thank you.

Glad I found this. Thanks for posting.

Such wonderful articulation to draw out of the piano Mozart's intentions. So musically satisfying. Bravo Cole!

So good to see young talented people carrying on the marvelous legend of Earl Wild.

If i heard this a few months ago i wouldnt of liked it at all but your other channel has the firs tsong as an intro and i begin to enjoy it. At first i thought it was weird but i grew to like the intro. But now i hear the whole thing and im amazed. Great playing

Earl Wild transcript

Your performance of "The Man I Love" is one of the best I've heard.

della serie: non mettere più le mani sul pianoforte....!!!!...O.M.G......!!!

Gorgeous pieces. Gorgeous playing. Gorgeous pianist. Have you ever delved into Simon Barere’s recordings? He was something else.

I had no idea such music existed. Well done

Awesome fluid performances Cole. I’ve listened to EW play these endlessly they are great favourites. It took me month to learn fascinating rhythm from the GG song book (2 pages) so I don’t have enough lifetimes for these ! I did print out Embraceable You but struggled to figure out the fingering (EW does not supply !)

It’s amazing. Bravo, C. Anderson for this performance.

I love your third movement. Very powerful and elegant

This Liza etude is honestly the most beautiful piece I have heard in my life I can't express how grateful I am for your performance and bringing this piece into my life. I will consider my piano journey satisfactory once I have learnt it! (probably not for a few years) BRAVO x100

Gershwin etudes???? Please explain!!!!

Brilliant! Cole, please provide your background information. When did you begin playing, what was your education (experiences with inspirational teachers) and lastly, how did you connect to Gershwin.

Beautiful ! Thank's !

Discovering this beautiful video, BRAVO Cole, BRAVO Georges ! I really enjoy.

Wtf man?! Thisnis amazing. Grest technique and musicality. Congratulatuons!!!!

Congratulations! A major effort on your part. Very well done!

Love it!

Hi Cole Anderson - I really enjoy listening to your interpretations on these fascinating pieces. I shall be doing the first 4 for my FTCL exam next year. Well Done very well played :D

You certainly understand the heart and soul of this piece perfectly. Gorgeously played.

Magnificent playing on all levels. Will listen many times.

Oh Cole! U make it looks sooooo simple and "easy"!!! Its jaw dropping😳 Im looking for the whole score book for purchasing but haven't had so much luck yet. Would u help me on this quest?

wonderful !!!

SUUUUPER !!!!

You play this so amazingly extremely beautiful I wish there were many more words to describe feelings more rich, your performance is ways beyonds the realistic world

Its so satisfying to watch you fingers in the 3rd mvt

Cole, tremendous! This is the best Earl Wild "Embraceable You" I've ever heard. Especially love how you bring out the melody in the middle section. I play this piece, but not half as well. Very inspiring!

I got pissed off when you played the start of the 3rd prelude with just your left hand lol

This is really gorgeous playing Cole, what fantastic repertoire, playing and a fabulous recording! BRAVO!

Fantastic playing, love it!!! Fellow pianist trying to learn this piece myself, but I can’t find the sheet music. Do you know where I can purchase it?

Superb!

Hi, by any chance do you have an idea from where I can buy the book please as I need it for an exam? Thanks

This gives me chills. You play beautifully and I LOVE this arrangement of this song. Out of curiosity, is there sheet music anywhere for this?

so cool!! beautiful!

Confession. Well over half a century ago, I seem to remember some piano lessons as a child when I had to play a Sonatina by Clementi (I'm guessing it will have been Op.36 No.1). . . but since then, I have neither played nor listened to anything by him. That is until your stunning recording just now. My loss, for certain, as his F Sharp Minor Sonata, Op. 25 No. 5 is a revelation and is certainly confirmation of Shedlock's 1895 assertion that this work sees Clementi's "heart and soul engaged" to the full. The unexpected twists in the opening 'Allegro con espressione' with its mixture of dolce expression and capricious finger work is wittily arousing. And who could not be moved by the melancholic lyricism, piercing harmonies and poetic ornamentation of the 'Lento e patetico' second movement? The 3/8 'Presto' finale is imaginatively inventive in both its brilliance and fleetness - and I gather that the glittering 'double thirds' were his speciality (even impressing Mozart, when he was not being derogatory in venturing: "like all Italians he's a charlatan without a farthing's worth of taste" - in resentment, I believe, at being 'tied' in first position with Clementi in a 1781 Christmas Eve contest organised to entertain the Holy Roman Emperor, Joseph II). Historically, Clementi's music might be 'classical'; temperamentally, it sounds wonderfully 'romantic' as it magically bridges both genres. The sixteen and a half minutes of your performance are quite scintillating, Cole. The memory load! The technical demands in realizing such a masterpiece! This Sonata is more than a 'tour de force' - which is maybe why Mozart told his sister, Nannerl, that she shouldn’t play Clementi’s sonatas at all as, with their huge leaps, they might ruin the natural lightness of her hands. Well, Cole, hopefully your hands were unscathed by the virtuosic demands of the music . . . because for the listener, you have provided an experience that defies language to adequately express the profound impact of your emotionally charged performance. BRAVO!

Wow! This Clementi is so different from the one who's nice and simple sonatas I played many years ago. This Sonata is absolutely beautiful! Of course, you need such talent as yours to express it. Bravo!

As 'NSK52' has already commented, your performance here, Cole, is absolutely beautiful. I know that this is the only piano sonata by Mozart with a slow movement in a minor key. I have also seen it claimed that part of Mozart's genius lay in his ability to express the deepest thoughts and feelings with the fewest notes, and that is why it is so difficult for many performers to do full justice to his music. Well, this is definitely not the case with your execution of this masterpiece. You capture the haunting heart-break and pathos in the Adagio so exquisitely and so sensitively that you perfectly communicate all the emotion hidden in those black notes on that white paper. The finale of the sonata restores the joyful mood of the (missing) opening movement and the Presto, with its exuberance, reveals how every note Mozart wrote is a reflection of his character - affectionate, sensitive, powerful, virile and always abounding in both inspiration and an early acquired pianistic style that is beyond masterful. Thank you - and bravo!

Absolutely beautiful! The mood of 2nd movement reminds me of Mozart's 2nd movement Concerto 23. Your performance is brilliant!

What a gorgeous arrangement played so beautifully! Your musicality is amazing!

This arrangement for solo piano by Earl Wild is just exquisite, ensuring all the heart-breaking emotion in the music is fully communicated to the listener. Liszt once said that “mournful and grand is the destiny of an artist”, seemingly referring to the large proportion of artists who have suffered emotionally and mentally for their art. Sergei Rachmaninoff is known to have been afflicted with depression his whole life, but his is a success story as he seems to have been able to deal with it - and not only did he mostly overcome this disabling burden, his management of it fueled his composing. Perhaps without such pain, he could not have written music as beautiful as 'Vocalise'? But your performance of this music is just a sheer joy to hear, Cole. Your technical brilliance allied with the emotional depth of interpretation you bring to Rachmaninoff's compositions enables us to experience this music in a totally immersive way. Thank you. Thank you.
