I was lucky to witness this peace of art live today in Colombia, Alon Goldstein is a genius, there’s no other word to describe his work, he took this piece by Phillip Glass but make no mistake, he makes it his own and I dare to say that is even better than the original, the way he flows and contrast the notes is just beyond words 🔥

i've met him! amazing. x

I was wondering... why this piece isn't played by Philip Glass?! Did he retire?

how did you make this video with subtitles?

Bravoooo!!!!

Realmente, divino ❤

Very useful teaching!

Very impressive!

Bravo!

Beautiful!!

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW SWOON

This is well played. Far better than most. Slightly bangy in the louder section. I feel the first bass note is too harsh. It's shockingly loud, and startling A little more subtly might be in order. to match what over all is a very smooth performance.

That three on two combination makes it sound like there are more notes than are on the page.

The first time that I heard a Philip Glass piece that wasn't repetitive arpeggios it wasn't Philip Glass.

Sehr gut! 👏👏 Vielen Dank!!🥰

Philip Glass is the Greatest Composer of our Time.

I got really a fantastic opportunity to listen to this piece live and got smashed by this song. I really like Alon said. Quote: music is for listening.

Music on another level, superb performance.

Eloquently stated

Nice to see people reacting. What seems obvious to me, apparently is not to everyone. Was the first Steinway made after Chopin died - of course. Would Chopin like Steinway or not - that is not the point. The point is to understand that each composer has his own sound. A piano should not sound like a harpsichord if you play Bach, but imagining the sound of a harpsichord might give you some clues to find a specific sound for Bach. I think hearing the sound of the piano that Chopin wrote for and played on, can help with finding your “Chopin sound”. Afterwords go and play it on a Steinway, Fazioli or Bösendorfer. All can make a compelling performance, depending on the artist.

Steinway was started 4 years after Chopin died.

Totally makes sense. That brighter tone brings out the character of Scherzo clearly!

chopin died before steinway started making pianos, delete this

Unbelievably subtle; shows up the technical deficiencies of so many younger performers

Absolutly the best i have seen!!

Here is speaking truth to power (of heavy bass notes). Let's hear the follow up in a future lesson.

Excellent observation.

I was one of those curious little boys that encountered, and fell in love with, a “Square Grand” Piano. It was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that this object of man made beauty of human creation resides. I was lucky to have been able to buy a refurbished Weber-Steinway Grand years ago . Steinway bought up Weber in order to acquire their artisans. Steinway kept the piano the same for a while until they phased out these ornate beauties that were too costly to make. The sound of these pianos were delicate because of the two strings per note. You are spot on Liszt liked the three strings per note juggernauts that we have today. Franz Liszt once said, “ With these ten fingers I can reproduce the sounds of a HUNDRED MEN”. Chopin liked the intimate sound - Stage Fright. Great video! Check out Liszt “William Tell Overture” if you don’t believe me.

Thank you so much for your amazing performance!Beautiful quality finger work and culture of tone and sound.Enjoyed it so much!Bravo!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Masterpiece!!!

Great interpretations and explanation. Change the jarring score transitions though.

Mic too far from mouth.

Well done Alon.

Pro tip: watch this at 0.75x speed for propper tempo

heh, i love debussy

סרטון מדהים!

I believe I heard someone we both know said Brahms' dolce is also "deep", rather than just "sweet".

Searched the net up and down. Paul Barton's take is my second favourite interpretation to make the repetitions sound fluid. Alon makes this piece shine beyond imagination of the very composer.

I know about white keys and black keys but what are those red notes?

genius!❤

I have seen many many performances of this etude. This is the best!!!

Bravooo !!!! 👏👏👏

Literally, talking about all the same issues to my student with Scherzo No 3

Wonderful!

Great! Thanks! 👏👏👏

😄 👏👏👏

Great! Bravo!!! 👏👏👏

Bravo, Alon--a subject dear to my heart when conducting!

可愛らしく可憐な演奏ですね❤️
