Hysterical!

Your command of the instrument is stunning.

Thanks for your interesting lecture which opens new pathways👍🏻

Que belleza de interpretación. Es usted un gran y excelente pianista. Me hizo recordar mi niñez con esta bella música.

After 30 years of knowing this piece I never realised the background to its creation! Wonderful information to inspire one to further! Thanks!

This woman is an AMAZING teacher! So much useful information in only 20 minutes, thanks for posting this. 🎹🎶🤩

❤️ the presentation , very helpful technique ideas.. Thank you for passing this to all generations of pianists.

Que lindo!!!

Great master class!

I want to play this well.

Maravilhosa apresentação em 5º Festival Internacional de Música de Câmara PPGM -UFPB, Sala Radegundis Feitosa, 20 de agosto 2022, João Pessoa-PB/ Brasil. 💐❤️🌎😘👏👏

Magnífico!!! 💐❤️💐👏👏

Bravo on keeping the drama in the bottle for me to have a chance to drink it up !

Wondeful!!

Gefällt mir sehr gut. Aber kloppt die Masken endlich in die Tonne !! Wie krank muss man sein??

Maravilloso es un lujo escucharlo!!!

Oh thanks this video was great

Wonderful, thanks for the magic

Excellent! Thank you for the deep explanations and examples... wonderful!

Really well done! I particularly like the cross-disciplinary integrated narrative. Academics at its best. I wonder if more pieces could be introduced this way?

first time I heard that Schubert and Beethoven were 'very very very close friends'. There is no record that they ever met, actually.

greatest sense of humour I've seen on a professor

👍👍

Very informitive thanks

Brilliant, David, thanks so much for putting this online. This waltz has been my favorite since childhood, and one that I tried to play many times - perhaps if you'd been my teacher, I would have had better results. Hope you are well. I miss hearing you play in person

the master said everything that needs to be said 👏👏

Such a beautiful sound and moment!!

Fascinating talk, David!

What an informative and entertaining lecture!

And that is more than anyone ever knew about this Waltz! thank you Professor Witten!

This is wonderful and very helpful! Thank you, Sondra!

I want to study abroad! Thanks for an enlightening presentation Professor Witten; great to see Maddie Meier and hear about her experience in Austria, a country close to my heart since my daughter lives there!

Thank you for such an excellent presentation. Just wish the video is in higher resolution>

David, is there any way I can get a copy of the Hellman book from you? It is NO where online and no one has it? Would you be able to scan it into a PDF or something since it is out of print now? Thanks

Lucid and useful!

A beautifully organized discussion and demonstration of grouping techniques- thank you!

This made me appreciate why the symbol for the turn ornament is so effective for communicating the curved melodic motion (above and below the main note) in my mind. Physically, the wrist and forearm enables a similar motion for ease of execution.

19:55 "Flattening the curve" in 1929. Lol!!

I am happy you are giving some of the theoretical, Ortmann background and I am going to publicize your work on Art of Piano Pedagogy :)

Hi David, Great work with this video. I was a student of Mrs. Taubman during the summer of 1997. During that summer, she was still trying to finish her book. I had no idea that any of it was published or generally available. Where do I get it?

It came out nicely.

Hilarious!!!

This is so true!!
