    21:40 " its not about losing or winning, its about great game. life is a game. and you die. "
    truly words of wisdom from senior who has lived all his life with passion worthy of lifelong dedication. i am a little sad that the maestro is old enough to talk about death in that calm, mundane ordinary style.

    Something is going wrong in music teaching. Zander is literally having to teach these kids to actually ENJOY the music they're playing...

    • @jessemoog5310
      @jessemoog5310 3 года назад +7

      theres a difference between them playing in a masterclass in front of an audience, then playing at home. so he teaches them to not be to insecure about it and enjoy the playing even on stage.

      It was the classical era, that was the point. Music was purposefully written to be similar to the standards of the time.

    • @terryjones573
      @terryjones573 5 лет назад +8

      Do you mean the cadence? That’s not a theme, that’s how themes were closed in the classical era. It was just a common way to do a perfect V-I cadence.

    I'm amazed by how many of these teens/young adults are unable to express a given feeling, its just weird for me and somewhat frustrating or cringy seeing them trying to get out of this robotic catatonic kinda state. or ¿does anyone else think this or is it just me going crazy here? lol

    • @dkearl6827
      @dkearl6827 5 лет назад +7

      Lalo Barbabosa I may be wrong, but there is a bit of pressure and nerves in this situation. You can almost feel all their hard work and concentration pent up until this wonderful music master removes the pressure valve and replaces it with joy.

    • @twinicebear775
      @twinicebear775 4 года назад +3

      I mean he's only playing one of the top 10 hardest cello concertos of all time in front of one of the most famous musicians in the world. I would be super nervous if that were me, which makes it hard to concentrate on the music when all you're focused on is "don't screw up in front of Zanders!"

    • @jmitterii2
      @jmitterii2 4 года назад +1

      Nerves mixed with expectation that's what Zander is about to help them polish up with. Which he does. Last one I watched she was fantastic with emotion and she actually played so well, Zander just gave her some other methods to playing some passages in a more Beethoven manner, less classical constrained. Either way she did put expressive passion in it.

      Mark Ferwerda, I think he’s may be trying to get the young man to relax his neck and pull his head up. It was teaching. They obviously have a great relationship. His final words where so fantastic. The young man is a unique gifted player. Lifting his head-was neither disrespectful or unkind. I believe it to be about more than just the music. He wants to lift his eyes and mind.

  • @periclestoledo2659
    @periclestoledo2659 2 года назад +2

    The teacher, first, praises and then criticizes and shows the mistakes. Now, this way of proceeding suggests an irony. I hate this way of teaching. Would it be a sincere compliment? Stay in the air. Unfortunately the high art of music has very inflated egos and the result is a detriment to the beauty and reach of the higher music that this form represents. I don't understand how the students who come to this master's hands are so immature, despite their age. When it comes to analyzing an interpretation it's one thing, but the technique has to be perfect before that. The progress above all. There is no need for a metronome, the musician automatically perceives at which tempo what is played best and will obviously coincide with the same judgment as the composer. You should also watch the videos of more than one renowned interpreter so as not to make mistakes in progress. Legatos, impressive excerpts, all of this has to be emphasized in order to successfully communicate the music, that is, that it enters the interior of the spirits, who will leave the concert hall elated and elevated, because that is the objective. When reaching this level and having a class with a master of interpretation, there should be no technical errors and when I say technique I'm not just commenting on the right, clear notes and the right rhythm, because a pianola also plays like that. Someone will say that they are very young, that they are not yet mature enough to play professionally, but even so, the immaturity shown is below the standard that most students who reach this stage should have. Another thing is to expose the student to the public this way. These classes would have to be private and the presentation of students who became professionals such as auditing. But here comes the master's ego: See how well I teach, see how a great artist I am!
