brilliant!!!!

this is real

is music for locos

Did John Cage do extensive study of how this or that thing sounded while on the strings?

Fantastic video. I'd love to see more, I hope this message finds you well.

Cool introduction to this piece and the prepared piano, thanks.

When i was studying music in college, our professor gave us a 90 minute recital with a prepared piano. It was the hardest thing i had to do there😂

Hey, I stumbled upon your video a while later but it really helped me understanding better the instrument. I have a question and maybe you're still checking old comments so I give it a shot : For the piece I'm currently learning I have to play a 9 white keys gap at the same time (A E C basically) with the left hand. I play the A with my 5, the E with my 2 and C with my 1 while rotating my wrist inwards like you showed in the video. I can play this keys consecutively without letting go of the A fairly easily, however I have to play them at the same time, like a chord. And I really can't do it consistently, I often hit a wrong key with either my 1 or 5. Do you have any exercise that could help me reach without holding one or more keys before the actual reach ? Thank you very much

Amazing chord in the middle and short melody . This one rocks

John Cage was a great man!

This brilliant hand/wrist forearm position made 11's easier than 10th's. Will take some practice though, thanks!

Very convincing interpretation

Thanks for your help. My hands are smaller than yours and still struggle with the 10ths, but there are nuggets of golden knowledge in your video.

Great works done! Thanks for sharing your music

Now, this is creativity at totally a new level, it is not just different, it is a complete transformation of the instrument!

so good...

I have just recently been exploring the music of John Luther Adams. So much of it seems to be inspired by the strange, wild beauty of the Earth. This is certainly an example of that. And your performance of this piece has the feeling of nunataks as he described them in your citation. Beautiful! And a reminder of the crumbling of glaciers that is going on more and more with the climate change of our time, a climate change that I, in southern Oregon, have been experiencing with the way the west coast of North America has gone on fire intensely in the summer and early autumn over the last few years.

This will always be relaxing 😌

Fucking amazing! The manipulation of the instrument made this version so palpable! ❤️💔💯

Is this music!?

Love Sonata 5 at 14:50 . Thank you for performing this piece.

Excellent version and performance. Piano preparation pretty similar in sound to the Joshua Pierce 1975 Wergo's version

So beautiful

The most unbelievable pile of crap I have ever heard! You people really need to go back and listen to composers like Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and Wagner to get back in touch with what real great music is.

Thank you so much! I started learning piano in retirement & am working on Moonlight Sonata - I’ve been having some forearm pain. I now see what I’ve been doing! THANKS!!!

a real toe tapper

Thanks for the in depth video! Came across while struggling to get used to playing 10ths in New Orleans style blues, will see if this helps!

Glorious work of imaginative and sensitive personality! Your performance is excellent and reveals all the superb quality of this fantastic work. Especially extraordinary rhythm and tempo feeling. Sonatas and Interludes are so complex and somehow natural in that case. Thanks!

When i first listened to this i really didn't think i'd hear more than 5 minutes, but i actually ended up listening to the whole video. It's surprisingly good.

I hate to sound dumb but I really don’t get the appeal of this

Thank you so much for the unique way to explain variety Arpeggios. Love it!

2021 and these sonatas and interludes still sound fresh! I was moved by your tenderness, Sir.

what an idiot composer dude

good lord

Nice man!

Superbe performance, tout en douceur et sensibilité. Merci beaucoup. Christian-Yves (France)

Aphex Twin playing John Cage, cool

Aphex Twin playing John Cage, cool

great thank you

This might be my fav piece of the composer's music. I find it fit for a cocktail party or a wake. You do well here. I swear Etude 2 could chart as a single in the US and Europe.

Hi, I'm here bcoz of my modules. This sounds great! Thanks for this.

징글벨..?

Thank you, Jesse! Have never enjoyed Cage's piano works so much!!!! Thank you!! Loved that Sonata V!!! You make it happen!!
