This piece has gotten me through a hard time. I'd listen to this when I couldn't sleep: so I'd go outside in the cold night and walk. I'd walk until I felt the pain from my heart go to my legs; then I'd sit at the park and smoke a cigarette - all alone in the tranquil silence of the night. This op is just so perfectly simple... it makes me feel nostalgia and warmth when everything around me feels cold.
It's always a treasure to hear a thinking , well trained thoughtful pianist play music that is not very thoughtful . I've heard Havard Gimse before and hehas real depth .Hedoes marvelous things here . Character and contrast but the sheer pianism and his handling are the topnotch !
Thank you for posting these sparkling pieces, which show a side of Sibelius not so well known (at least not to me). I had the privilege of seeing the Etude #2, performed as an encore to the Rachmaninoff 3 a few months ago, by Denis Matsuev.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
Poor old Sibelius. They're are out to get you. The very idea of your existence annoys. They try every which way to explain you away, from feint praise to out-right condemnation. What were you thinking by sitting down at a piano when clearly you're not Rachmaninov? And your product there is not Schumann or Schubert or Chopin. And may God forgive you for mimicking, like no other composer ever did, his forebears or contemporaries. But damn it, performers keep returning to your work almost a 100 years after you ceased major compositional work, when the shamans and musical diviners, had thought they'd got you shut up at last.
Indeed. These are not bad pieces, just uninteresting, unoriginal and derivative. He's a great great composer, it's just that piano music was not his forte.
As others have noted, these pieces are attractive but unmemorable. None of Sibelius' gorgeous melodies. The piano writing is uninteresting. They were pleasant pieces but there is nothing that makes me think "I must hear these again".
@@angelakakaras1997 It does sound a little rushed/out of [technical] control at 1:38 to 1:41 ... but overall I just personally like this tempo. I'm not a pianist, I'm a violinist and violist. As a violinist I play very fast pieces by choice quite often and so maybe that's why I'm attracted to this particular Sibelius piano etude's chosen tempo.
@@yiyuewu1984 With the word "leggiero" lingering above the piece on page one and then the word "segue"... I assume this means to play each note having its own 'importance' and being 'played precisely' but also in a "song-like" manner. I (again) am not a pianist, but I imagine that this is very difficult to achieve. As a violist and violinist - these Italian words/indications would mean that the whole piece should sound both sweet and precise. The bowing technique for this piece (if it were to be transcribed) would actually only be slightly difficult, and I would guess that it's more difficult for a pianist to play.
He wasn't a pianist. Even though these small pieces are very good, I don't believe he would be able to compose a masterfully crafted piano concerto. Better leave it for the composers used to wrtting for the piano.
@@igorkreszow8983 What does being a pianist mean? Non-virtuosi of the keyboard composed on them and composed piano concerti. Contrary to once popular belief, Sibelius did not compose mainly on the violin, but on his rather fine piano in Ainola. He could play piano though not a virtuoso in any instrument. If he had have got his wish for excellence in violin, would we have got the symphonies & tone poems?
@@igorkreszow8983 this is surely how Sibelius also felt as he was very self-cricital, he just composed these "little pieces" for fun and to get money.. as he had a big family. but I wouldn't say he didn't have the skills to compose a magnific piano concerto!
These were my thoughts, just from the beginning of the piece. It sounds a bit like Etude op.10 Nr. 4. I think there is also a similar part in a Scherzo.
Gloire et admiration pour ces musiciens français periode XIXe/XXe siecle. dont la liste et longue. Ils s'élancent avec originalité sur de nouvelles routes les explorent avec originalité et talent. Ces musiciens typiquement français doivent être notre fierté, le bonheur des mélomanes et de tout ceux qui aiment ce qui est hamonieux, élégant et éminemment français.
I was aware of this stupendous set thanks to the extremely sharp (as usual) interpretation of Olli Mustonen. Gimse is evidently less flamboyant, but a lot clearer in textures and phrasing.
There's no denying Mustonen's originality, but I find Gimse the far more sympathetic interpreter, while Mustonen often irritates with his wilfulness and mannerisms.
It’s not exactly fair to call his pieces unoriginal. He has a unique style, and even if the pieces themselves aren’t the best works in the world they are still original in themselves.
Warm greetings to the great pianist Håvard Gimse for the inspired interpretation of these captivating miniatures by Jean Sibelius. These are very refined performances, which reveal the essence of each piece from the opus 76 by the Finnish master. Bravissimo!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
All pieces are so beautiful and really in the Nordic style of Jean Sibelius like Grieg or Rautauvaara he was a revolutionary composer for the Nordic music.
"HERE IS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Effectivement, cette musique n'est pas spécialement novatrice ni si originale, pourtant on ne peut retirer son sens de la poésie et sa nature profondément romantique, convaincante et charmante. Cela n'a pas besoin d'être plus, Sibelius a composé de la belle musique pour piano.
These sound like something written by a less contrapuntal Schumann who ate Schubert
Aren't we clever?
I was thinking Liszt if he were delicate rather than bombastic. I see what you mean now though haha. Sometimes he sounds more like Faure I think.
Patrick Nyman that’s fair. Liszt can be surprisingly difficult to pin down
similar thought. constantly associated the 2nd piece to Schubert‘s Auf dem Wasser zu Singen
But Schumann already consumed Schubert to be Schumann. Maybe Schumann ate Grieg?

I think Sibelius' piano music is underrated. The pieces may not be superbly original, but every one of them is delightful.

exactely
@@metodoinstinto well his piano romance, the trees and a few impromptus were spectacular
@@metodoinstinto You think these piano pieces are uninteresting? I love them so much!!
Best rendition of the etude that I’ve ever heard!!
It says Leggiere- Surely it is too quick. It is more enjoyable a bit slower.
Tem uma atmosfera similar a alguns trabalhos pianisticos de Arensky e também de Gratchaninov. Gostei bastante. Obrigado por postar.
1:03 is the ONLY tempo I've heard played by *any* pianist that has satisfied me. Bravo
fabulous right hand accuracy
To fast. Mazuev plays it much better
You also have to play the whole thing with finger staccato

The cadences and the left hand part, in the second piece, definitely had me thinking of Schubert.
So beautiful and moving! THank you.

Etude and Elegiaco are great!
Everyone's talking about the etude but have you heard Carillon???
Cet enregistrement est un véritable petit bijou. Délicieux, rafraichissant et tellement optimiste... Merci.
Delightful and unexpected pieces.Maybe written for money, but a Master like Sibelius cannot write a dull note.
Maravilloso Sibelius y con una buena dinámica de interpretación, le hace justicia. Me encanta.
I love the etude, the carillon and the elegiaco.
It’s certainly one of those pieces that isn’t technically difficult, but musically very challenging.
Beautiful pieces. This is the first time i hear something about Sibelius, i hope the next year i can play some pieces of him.
Did I actually say that?
@@alejandrom.4680 feel when you don't remeber that you have said that
Ossi Ylitalo Update: I can perfectly play them now, they’re just a no no for me now, boring and non-innovative
Alejandro M. plot twist

The etude seems like a Song without word of mendelssohn.
Elegiaco is lovely and beautifully played.
I am 10 and I am starting to learn to note 2 etude
It’s not exactly fair to call his pieces unoriginal. He has a unique style, and even if the pieces themselves aren’t the best works in the world they are still original in themselves.
The esquisse and the etude both sound in the style of Schubert
why aren't his piano works that popular tho
Less advertising.

12:25 reminds me of the theme from Chopin 37 no 2
Sibelius six intermezzi op 5 are superb. His piano music is certainly underrated.
Consolation is very beautiful

В вальсе звучит тема из карнавала шумана, танцующие буквы

son maravillosas esas composiciones

Most of the tempi seem fast to me--not faster than a pianist can play, but hurried; not permitting the auditor to grasp the beauties of the music.
Agree. The performer doesn't seem to listen to the harmonies, only at a superficial level.
beautiful.
Технически хорошо, но меня не трогает это исполнение.
Like I always say, when life gives you Harlequins, make Harlequinade.

That way to play the arabesque should be a crime 😭😭, Annette servadei version is completely better if you wanna heard it

Merci Sibelius et Håvard Gimse.
No.2 is way too fast, Denis Matsuev nails it in many artists' opinion.
The pianist is a consumate musician and pianist. Utter clarity and command of the structure of each piece.
on entend rien et les pubs sont ignobles
Magnificent. Utter charm and a terrific collection for a budding virtuoso.

E. Kendall Taylor called No. 9 “Un Petit Marceau” No wonder it’s taken me so long to find it!
These pieces suffer because it is easy to compare them to Grieg's piano works, which are simply on a different level than Sibelius' efforts here.
lovely
3:49 Sibelius really said: ,,One sec let me turn into Bach”
you know, it's very difficult to listen these pieces which are without contrasting parts
Can someone please recommend me a web page where I’ll be able to find these pieces

AWESOME
Harlequinade reminds me of the Noddy theme song lmao
thanks .
Ja mooi, maar dat tempo, dat is geen allegretto. Het klinkt als presto of volante.
The Esquisse is beautiful.
Consolation ♥️

es como si estuviera en una montaña rusa

Beautifully played, Big hug!
Arabesque!
Carillon is my favorite
Actually not bad at all!
Sibelius’ piano music may be less impressive than others’ ones and anyway less than his symphonic works. It remains anyway very elegant and pleasant.
