I don't want to play hanon at all.
購買的影片會不會有字幕⋯⋯⋯
I have to wonder whether it does any good.
@@PianoHsiang 他們平常影片有英文字幕呀
I can't get over how beautifully he phrases them, even if it's a joke
He takes liberties.
Of course, that is a joke!!!
And the subtle rubato too.
Absolutely, he articulates beautifully beyond the pointless exercise.
I didn't get the joke. I think that's a better way to do them.
I was moved to tears by this profound interpretation of No. 31. A new standard!
You are kiding, wright...😂?
ahahahah! :)
Me too!!! It's an amazing way to understand music again 😂❤
This is better than Chopin - heck, I daresay better than Bach.
I was moved to tears when I had to play theses God-forsaken things.
i am concerned that Marc Andre is not yet _old_ enough to bring the kind of spiritual maturity to these gems that they demand (and frankly deserve) of an artist. the fourfold trill is not some light trifle for a child as say Beethovens opus 110 sonata. one must have suffered tremendous depths of despair to face its austere depths of ever deepening deepness. one must have more seasoning (like a delectable extra crunchy olive oil garlic butter and herb cracker) by the tumult of human existence to even approach purchasing, let alone opening! the score. i am no snob, but no artist of less than 96 years should have the temerity to offer an original interpretation. we have abonded all sense and reason, for shame!
ROFLMAO
😂
I hope he knows its April fools lol
Very well said. Hamelin simply doesn’t have *it*! Nobody but the wizened ancient pianist is prepared. But Hamelin? No! He simply isn’t ready. When Exercise No. 5 introduces that twist, wherein the hands have a different pattern coming down instead of simply repeating the pattern as in the previous four exercises…handling that requires one who has experienced the twists and turns of life. One must be totally at a space of contentment, awareness, and supreme consciousness to handle that sheer neurosis! Is Hamelin the one? No. I’m sure we sound judgmental, but we must tell the truth!
@@allegroaffettuoso9012 continuing to ROFLMAO😅😂
Lol, the irony is that his Hanon sounds far better than my Chopin 😂
anything Hamelin touches sounds better than my entire career, don't worry😂
It doesn’t matter what you play. It’s how you play it that counts. I’d rather listen to Itzhak Perlman playing G major scales than someone playing the Elgar concerto out of tune.
Hey if the notes aren’t perfect but the timings right, it’s just jazz baby
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly!
Top comment.
The fact that he goes full Glenn Gould with his performance makes this a 10 out of 10.
I thought the same. LOL
Not quite. That would have required humming at least.
@@Manx123 fair point
I'd rather listen to this than Gould tbqhwy
@@Manx123 I was just thinking that.
Even if this is an April Fool's joke, it gives me ideas about how to creatively practice Hanon, and any technical exercise for that matter.
in any case do NOT EVER! -- no NEVER -- "lift the fingers high" (per the erroneously translatted instructions in Hanon)
as the videographer on this session I can honestly say he came up with that pun on the spot :)
i was also there, and as the camera man i can tell you are lying to get likes
Wow I just got the pun; thank you for pointing it out to me! 😁
Ha non!
@@Populous3Tutorials someone didn't read the description...
@@thekathal what do you mean? he copied my name and made a youtube account just for this... i'm Daniel Kurganov
I actually enjoyed no.31!
“A glimpse inside the human soul” killed me 😂
Yeah, a lil over the top 😂
31 is the only one I actually like
Weeeelll, you know younger people know-a-days. They just about believe anything.
No. 14 is a personal favorite. Such lyricism.
@@frankdrebinn Goosebumps! Plus, it lays the harmonic and thematic foundations for the whole set.
I, for one, will be anxiously waiting for the Cecilia Bartoli version of the vocal transcription.
He unironically made Hanon sounds musical
it has always been musical
@@mahakala exactly. People actually think practicing it non musically is the only way to play Hanon.
@@mahakala 🎉 are literally exercise, not even etudes, I don’t if you’re serious or not but playing hanon musically is not as useful as playing on metronome, perfectly even and with same sound for every note.
@@chiocciolacososa1868 I have made my metronome musical.
@@lawrencetaylor4101 Pardon?
I know this is an April Fools joke but still - the way he interprets these monotonous exercises is quite lovely. I’d totally buy the set if it were real! (And that is no joke.)
I would replace my white noise generator with it. It would be wonderful. Right next to my pillow.
I was gonna write the same thing. Not only would I buy it, I would look forward to its arrival.
My thoughts exactly 😅
@@TomCheer9that is legit a wonderful idea
Well done! Thanks for being festive.
What did I just watch. Fell for it completely!
No!!!
This is great. Had both me and my fiancé howling laughing. Marc-André is also, it turns out, an excellent actor!
What a incredible discovery: piano excersices played like masterpieces. You are a kind of king Midas, maestro: you transform (what we usually understood as) simples notes in pure music. I think that piano students will discover a new great manier of practicing. Thank you very much. Greetings from Venezuela.
This video has soothed my soul more than anything else ever
The way he’s playing with the annoying orgasmic pseudo-affect that many pianists rely on makes this even funnier.
I am most eager to hear Hamelin's rendition of the capstone etude, No. 60 ("The Tremolo"). This lengthy, heart-rending study plumbs emotional depths that have rarely been matched. "I wish I'd written that" - L. van Beethoven. "Ha ha, you didn't" - C.-L. Hanon.
He can do freaking music with it
we all can, with enough practice. SLOW practice is the key but most of us wanna speed through it to get it over with.
Good one, I fell for it at first. My teacher made me play these in C# which actually improved my technique alot. I hope that Hamelin also does a C# version after this one.
My teacher had me do the same 😉
Actually C key or A minor (only white notes) is much harder than C# paradoxically. Chopin recommended to start scales with C# for beginners and normal C for more advanced players . The standard C scale is the hardest of them all . For arpeggios is different and F# major is the hardest . C# arpeggio is one of the easiest. So it’s probably why your teacher recommended you to practice in C sharp.
@trevjr I have a very important question for you. When you transpose this kind of exercise do you keep the exact same fingering or do you adapt it?
@@periodinstruments8651 I believe Chopin actually started his pupils on B, not C#.
you keep the same fingering. the point is, well one of the points is that you will have different stretches for different notes. in the first Hanon, you will have to play C#-E# with 5-4, a much bigger stretch than C-E left hand. right hand coming down will stretch C# - A# then B#-G#, much wider than doing it in C.
After this all-too-brief glimpse of the celestial and the stratospheric heights which one has been thusly elevated, I ruefully and hesitatingly bring myself from prostration at the alter of these revered pianoforte exercises of our Mr. C. Hanon, to come to this electronic medium in order to unreservedly express sheer admiration for the devotion and healing ministry our distinguished artist has lavishly brought to bear upon and gifted us with these beloved and familiar pithy sequences, here wrought with imperious divinity and exquisitely tasteful and nuanced tonal shading. Indeed, the four-fold trill is quite palpably overwhelming, the passionate 6ths cloying at one’s heart, the polyphonic strands an undiluted pleasure for both auricles and soul. Were they ever rendered with such benevolence hitherto?
The gossamer, radiant glory which C major here affords us cannot be savoured enough throughout the 60, though the true connoisseur may - to spare complete engulfment of spirit - resist undertaking the repetitions so suggestively offered by their author, let alone what might constitute a complete overburdening of the palette by way of transposition. Temptation to delve into marketed editions of ‘Salsa Hanon’ , ‘Jazz Hanon’, or ‘Boogie Woogie Hanon’ might be considered glutinously excessive. No! Dare not contemplate defiling these ingenious gems contained within the yellowed covers of edition Schirmer. And do not be fooled by the austere paperbound exterior that belies a treasure trove of pianistic delectables!
May one and all enjoy a lifetime’s work upon these salvational studies, having now basked in glowing inspirational splendor under the hands of the esteemed Mr. Hamelin - someone clearly a devotee, a pilgrim of this magnum opus. With a debt of gratitude, we give earnest thanks for yet further exposure to this immortal work.
Gosh, that was well said!
@@nandoflorestan Thank you kindly! The source provided an irresistible opportunity for a bit of effusive enthusiasm, I must say!!
Exercise #31 is my favourite! So melodious and expressive flow!❤😂
Talented young man! Loved the rubato.
Best youtube comment ever 💯
Without a doubt a beautifull interpretation, the depth and the emotions are overwhelming
Beautifully done!
I would gladly listen to that entire recording.
These exercises are so beautifully played! I can feel the Hanson coming in me
I have listened to this played live in my home every day for over thirty years.
OMG 🫨 I can't wait for the first live recital 🤪 amazing ❣️
Playing these exercises in this sarcastic way has shown us how far away most of us are in elevating the mundane to new heights. Thank you for the inspiration Monsieur Hamelin🙏
Thank you so much: I never knew Hanon could be played like this!
Best thing I've seen in weeks! Spot on and hilarious!! Thank you
OK, that was beautiful! Thanks Marc! Next April 1, how about giving us the phone book!
Epic, I can't wait to get my hands on this set, Marc-André Hamelin truly is the greatest pianist alive.
I'd say Volodos is as good if not better (s he has more power)
What about Yuja Wang, Trfonov and the many others?
@@hannslunninger416 😅
@@hannslunninger416 no there's only Hamelin and Volodos as far as I am concerned.
Well he is definitely one of the pianists of all time.
I'm 69 and still play #31 as a warm up! ...But Hamelin makes it a musical gem. I love how he holds his hands as if in prayer to the genius of Hanon. His next project should be a homage to the great Phillipp and his use of the full diminished chord! It would be a spectacular recording.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Transcendental beyond all human comprehension.
I was soo emotionally touched from this that i didnt pay attention to april fools, thank you for the auditory pleasure !!
That absolutely sounds clever and very wonderful. 🎻 🎼
“Just as beautiful as any of the Chopin preludes…” He’s got me rolling on the floor!
I know this is supposed to be a joke. But he actually did that so well I demand to hear this full CD
Most informative tonebase video EVER!!!
60 years ago, I tried to play Hanon like it had to be. But playing the piano well is so difficult! Now, finally, I can follow the score and enjoy Hanon. Thanks, M.-A. Hamelin
I was moved to tears as soon as I heard the opening measure to trills in 6ths... the upwards ascent transported my soul to a transcendental state
How he kept a straight face can be attributed only to his musical understanding being far beyond mine.😊
An homage to musical profundity.
This is great. I will definitely buy the album.
"The best Hamelin recording to-date. By far." The American Record Guide
31 actually sounds legitimately good here. The figure on its own sounds nice, and the way it keeps pushing upwards way beyond what you'd expect in a real piece is interesting.
I agree very much. The video was hilarious but since then, I've taken Ex No. 31 to the piano (never having played it before) and played it lyrically in all the keys. I love the sound of it and I feel as though my musicality has grown.
Unironically, Hamelin has taught me just how much depth can exist below something seemingly shallow or basic. I've been totally reevaluating my playing.
Such splendid music for the start of April.
FINALLY!!!! Someone who plays Hanon the way it was meant to be played! Bravo Maestro!!! 👏🏾👏🏾😂🎶
This finally replaces my treasured Joyce Hatto recordings. I didn't think I would see this in my lifetime. Someone give this man a recording contract! One can only look forward to his scaling the everest that is the Hanon-Godowsky triple exercises for left hand alone.
Wow Hamelin is a gem. Not content with just being one of the best pianists, he's proven himself to be a true entertainer with this gold!! This got me SO HARD. The emotionality of his performance... STUNNING
Finally, the definitive interpretation of Hanon's magnum opus! So many colors, so many moods, so many notes...
I keep listening to this. .. so addictive and yes, beautiful!! ❤😅😊
Hamelin's sincerity and sensitivity provides what seems in retrospect to be the most obvious missing link between Hanon's brief sound poems and the paintings of Watteau. Bravissimo!
😂😂😂😂
Best April Fool's joke in ages!
Coquin va!
I was about to say is this a joke? Lol
It's not an April fool's joke. It is real.
A true classic.
Hamelin knows better than you what is original and has value. He is a complete artist
Touched, moved and inspired. Composed with unmatched beauty, and performed with a depth of expression not before seen (nor heard) throughout the vast classical repertoire. He leaves nothing unsaid. Marc-André Hamlin demonstrates pure genius in his performance and execution of this legendary body of work.
Absolutely hilarious - many thanks 😆
The Pied Piper of Hanon-this will revolutionize Music!
The only Hanon recording you will ever need!
Years ago, I had a chance to go his recital. That was stunning and amazing. 🎉🎉
From Hong Kong 😚
Was he playing Hanon?
He is so good this actually sounds good
Hamelin is truly one of the pianists of all time!!!
When I was in college in the early 80s, we joked about doing "Hooked on Hanon", with a disco backing track like "Hooked on Classics".
There are no words. 🎉🎉🎉
Happy April 1st, Marc-André !
Hamelin knows better than you
This is the most profound musical experience of my life! Thank you, Marc-André!
I agree! So moving. Molto profondo.
These are so beautiful, I had no idea.
Vive le rubato ! Thank you Maestro Hamelin
No home should be without this collection. Truly a desert island disc.
I loved playing my Hanon excercises
Superb. We all had to learn them at one time or another.
This is incredible
Jokes apart, hearing the complete Hanon played with emotions and not as a machine can be enjoyable, nice April fool 🥚 !
You are very good on ruining the surprise, I woupdn't watch a movie woth you, if you already saw it
@@umegghju Sorry for ruining the suspance, next time be careful to watch first the video, and not the comments.
Oh lordy, I forgot it was April Fools Day today! I absolutely don't celebrate it this was a funny joke haha 😂😇🎼
Yeah I also thought this was to be practiced with the metronome at increasing speeds, but now I noticed it's April's fools.
Not really. There are many pieces not recorded that would be better than this.
This just too good. A perfect short segment in a Last Week Tonight episode.
Wonderful selection for today’s video….
It's fantastic to get this recommended 8 months after it was released, and wathing half the video before thinking of checking the date 😂
finally something good comes out of all those exercises
The outcome, in fact, is quite meditative :))
This man is adorable. Not only a pianistic genius but also capable of having fun with everything😂
And charming, as I was told
]It almost got me. Glad I listened to it all the way.
I'll await the release of Hamlin's Pischna Paraphrases with great anticipation
This is utterly priceless! An eternal laugh and it sounds marvelous! YAY Hamelin!!
He's like Tchaikovsky, who made beautiful melodies just from descending scales!
Hamelin's playing of these etudes gives me shivers. Actually, I just checked my glucometer and it appears that I'm experiencing low blood sugar. I'm going to get a snack ...
Just received the first set along with the DVD. The outtakes show that even the best make mistakes and can benefit from these "exercises."
Best Aprils fool I ve seen. Good job to the team!!
no. 31 is acually pretty nice to hear! And don't forget that even Schostakovich did quote Hanon in one of its piano concertos
Okay, you got me. Fell for it. :D
This is literally the best.
Ladies and gentlemen: Mr. Hamelin! The genius
Ânons tous ensemble à votre suite, cher Alpha!
After that, I’ll find my Hanon and try to play it differently. I loved the n 31!
Thanks for that!! ❤👏👏👏👏
OMG!!!
It’s April 1st!
You got me!
This was delightful! :D
where has this been the rest of my life?
Can't wait
