This is a very emotional piece for me: more than seventy years ago, my mother - on piano - and one of my uncles - on violin - used to play this in our apartment in New York...
Even being in g-flat MAJOR, the melancholy is always there. Not every happiness is a sunshine. Some of them are cloudy days, with a single beam of light irrupting from the grey. Dvořák is the best Czech Composer. One of the best representative of the Romantic Era.
I wouldn't say "melancholy" but "introspective" and "peaceful" and "powerful/emotional" would be words to describe this.. It's perfect for my 10 yr old to play on the violin with her personality :.)
This is one of the very first piano pieces I ever heard as an East African kid in the early 2010's when I was bought a cheap Yamaha keyboard and this song was in the recorded demos in the instrument
@@adamsmateo2149 England!! When I was little, my parents also bought a cheap yamaha keyboard for me with this demo in it and I just happened to remember the tune a couple of days ago ^^
@@meowfu5434 so interesting how music converges our life experiences like this. As an amateur pianist in my early 20's, I never thought much about Dvořák. Not many people in Nairobi do. Until life sent me a beautiful Czech girl whose charm inspired me to learn more about Bohemia, and then I rediscovered this Dvořák masterpiece anew. And this time, it was the soundtrack of my love story.
Oh! how graceful Humoresque it is. especially so sensible articulating agogyk is beautiful, I was moved so much. My mother used to say "Heifetz Humoresque was very good" when she was 18 years old, she heard him at Tokyo his Recital. (91yrs.Japanes )
I remember a music box from my childhood which played this piece with a train riding in a loop. I never knew what the piece of music was called but am so happy and nostalgic stumbling upon it now
Very nicely played! Also, thumbs up for spelling Dvořák`s name correctly :) been a fan of your channel for some time. I really appreciate all your great work. Greetings from Czech Republic!
My mother had a compilation LP record with romantic classical music. Among them this piece by Dvorak. So, when I grew up in the 60s listening to The Beatles, Elvis and what not, I always loved this type of classic music.
I'm starting this piece today. I had learned it on Violin when I was in high school. I can still hum/sing the tune to this day. Really looking forward to getting this down, as it means a lot to me. I'll be using your interpretation and fingerings as guidance along the way. Love everything you do, Paul. You've been a part of my piano journey since I started just over two years ago. Thank you for all your hard work, kindness, and amazing connection to musicality.
A true masterpiece! It sounds like music in heaven (it even has ethereal qualities at times). The middle section sounds spectacularly inspiring and the beginning and end section are just beautifully calming. This is one of the pieces that I'm definitely going to want to learn.
I feel like if I was turned into a musical piece I would sound like this. This song is so uncertain, uncomfortable and more outstanding than it has any right to be. Thanks for your playing
Listening to this music,I can imagine a story where the main character is all happy and going to an adventure.A fun adventure.Then on that adventure,they meet some friends.And they were going to the adventure altogether now.Then a tragedy happens.The main character loses something or someone important in the middle of the story.But the main character has to stay strong and fight back.But at the end,they won.And everything turns out fine.The main character is happy again...
as a kid I had a gramophone & this was the backgound music to a few made up stories we "enacted" to keep my two brothers & I amused during school holidays! it evokes a distant age gone & forgotten as we made out own entertainment, innocent it all was!
Check this then ruclips.net/video/Wa_qOv-eqpA/видео.html Both are good, but linked one is just faster tempo which fits better for this song than slow version.
I love this interpretation, it’s sort of happy yet due to slowness, creates a feeling of emptiness. I love that feeling it creates, it’s like something has come to the end and your happy but sad that it’s over.
Merci Merci MERCI !! C'est par ce morceau que je veux recommencer à jouer du piano et maintenant que je viens de tomber sur votre vidéo, je pense que je vais peut-être y arriver ! MERCI MILLE FOIS !
When Ophelia floated away in the B&W Hamlet movie I heard this music for the first time. Sad with a transcendent release. One of the most memorable pieces of all music.
Can I use your audio, for a video for my recently deceased friend? She loved this Piece. I really love how you play it. I would appreciate it very much.
Rhianna Barr-Beaumont this is long and buried, but Jesus Christ you really corrected this guy on the specific terminology of classical music when he posted about his late friend??
That's odd, considering Czechoslovakia didn't exist until after WWI. Back then when my great-great-great-grandfather came from what is no the Czech Republic (which also happened to be in the 1880's), the area was owned by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. (Sorry, just a tidbit.)
Ryan Yesman you are right. Sorta. Even though it was austriahungary, the czech land was still pretty much czech and occupied mostly by Czechs (with plenty of germans) so technicaly czechia existed (even long ago it was a czech kingdom) but mostly without the slovakia part, as slovaks were part of the hungary (as much as they like to denied it) 😏
¡¡Hello Paul! Im a beginner pianist, and im impressed of your performance, I just loved it, and at some point, I would wish to play this song :). Wish you success and the best.
I have to join @Jakub Urbánek and also thank for write the name correctly. Dvořák was a big czech patriot who wish his name was written like this. I am very grateful for it.
I'm so sad that you're nowgone, but I'm glad you're finally happy and able to rest now. This seems to be the theme. it's sad but trying to stay happy. This is dark, a coverup, a pretense. you smile despite the pain. I get it, ugh i hate it 😭😭
A very pretty piece! Though if you like this, you might also like the novelty piano adaptation by Felix Arndt in Desecration Rag, this piece makes a surprisingly good novelty foxtrot!
Anyone else here because it’s the song that is in little Einsteins? The Nostalgia tho.... lol Melody the music pet the greatest pet that you can get! We’ll help her find her ticket for the train~

2:08 - 2:32 my favorite part by far. I love when you have powerful and strong melodies in the middle of such slow and calm pieces. I'm in love.

I get nostalgic vibes while listening to this piece.. it's sooo mesmerising..
I played this on my cello, love!!! Now at 73 I play this on my piano. String fingers needed a rest. Thank you Paul for all of your wonderful video's.
This song is so simple but its very beautiful at the same time
SIMPLLEE!!????
Your rubato throughout the piece is so lovely and makes the song so interesting and dynamic

The melody on this piece has to be one of the most beaitiful in classical piano.
To be this piece so beautiful it is one of the not so hard to play
This song sounds so sad even though it is a humoresque. I love this song. Impressive!
Treat the hard life with the best mood.

THIS IS THE GREATEST PIECE OF MUSIC EVER WRITTEN
I'm performing this tomorrow, for the first time by memory (although I will have the sheets just in case!)
Yes, as he said, memorize the piece you dumbfuck
Good luck
Good Luck, and memorize piece you dumbfuck!
One time I lost a competition because I didn't memorize the piece...
Well... it's been a year since it happened... how did it go?😁
Everyone talking how how beautiful this peace of music is while I'm over here being nostalgic over Little Einsteins and Melody the Music Pet from it
ive literally been trying to find the name of this song and oh my god this video brought me so much peace in my brain? thank you!
Listening to this on a rainy day. Beautiful!
My mother had a compilation LP record with romantic classical music. Among them this piece by Dvorak.
So, when I grew up in the 60s listening to The Beatles, Elvis and what not, I always loved this type of classic music.

in sophomore year, my anxiety over exams grew so overwhelming, and it was this piece that calmed me down -- returning as a college student now!

Write a book....that’s an awesome plot
are u talking about anime
Reading my name is not the best use of your time
I know this comment is supposed to be deep but it's so not that it's cringy
Beautifully done, great timing and dynamics, and very nice final chord, set down so gently.
I've always associated this work with memories of the past long gone... Our childhood friends and games.
Beautiful, so emotional and passionate
2:08 When Dvorak's iPhone rang while he was composing this piece...
I don’t get it sorry. what?
@@HiHello-rs1ey That moment in the music is very reminiscent of the iPhone ringtone.
Lmfaoooo
I know this is just a tutorial, but the way you play it is so magnificent, I can't find another interpretation anywhere else that equals this one.

Wait a minute. Are people actually out here learning piano pieces like this by watching people play them at full speed?
Merci Merci MERCI !! C'est par ce morceau que je veux recommencer à jouer du piano et maintenant que je viens de tomber sur votre vidéo, je pense que je vais peut-être y arriver ! MERCI MILLE FOIS !
Fantastic attention to sonic detail, love it.
I would love to learn this beautiful melody. I used to hear my older (14 years older) brother play a record of this piece when I was 4 or 5 years old.
very well played! Great Performance!
That song, which i fell in love with piano
Fantastic performance of one of my favorite pieces, nice job
amazing such control and yet so delicate; wonderful to watch; even better to listen; thanks a lot

I found profound sadness and highly emotional in this piece rather than any humour as in the title.
Thanks for sharing! This is the song Maggie from the Nanny (Fran Drescher) was trying to learn it’s my goal to learn this one day ❤
Me la descubrió mi hijito Álvaro. Gracias desde Sevilla, España.
Love this interpretation of the piece
Beautiful,such a good work...
Keep it up
A magnificent performance!

Great playing and finally someone who can spell.
I like it better slowly

Mr Espy not a song...a piece of music....
You have my thanks, had I not been corrected I wouldn't have known otherwise.
Also I hope it's okay, that I used your playing in a funeral, I made sure you got the credit for it. Thanks very much, that was a while ago.

My great grandfather spelled it that way also. He actually came from Czechoslovakia in 1881

A beautiful interpretation😭💖

I have to join @Jakub Urbánek and also thank for write the name correctly. Dvořák was a big czech patriot who wish his name was written like this. I am very grateful for it.
I can't stand misspelling foreign language names etc. lol 😅 Most often with french
Would love to see you play the Art Tatum version!
Wow! That's what those black and white keys long for...
played with lots of emotions!
But... what's the issue with G2? Sounds cut off...
Awesome performance!
I'm not checa, but I loved this music. From Spain. Kiss.
I'm so sad that you're nowgone,
but I'm glad you're finally happy and able to rest now.
This seems to be the theme. it's sad but trying to stay happy. This is dark, a coverup, a pretense. you smile despite the pain. I get it, ugh i hate it 😭😭
Nice 👍 good 👍🙏🏡🥰🎹🎻❣️🤝🗺👍Muchas gracias por todo 👍
Beautiful!
Very nice dynamics. Beautiful job! 💕
I hear hints of jazz in this. Very nice.
Art Tatum obviously loved this piano piece; his rendition is legend
Que lindinha!🎶🎹🎶
This is one of the fist songs I learned in my piano lessons as a child
Beautiful.
Sad but romantic
Beautiful. Thank you
Lovely, lovely 💗💗💗 open corn fields and horse ridding ❤️💓❤️

Plays very nicely. Well, this work is based on jazz improvisation, in its time, by Art Tatum ...
