Very cleverly put together. A seamless transition from Chopin to Beach. Overall, fantastic playing, and thank you so much for helping me discover more of Amy Beach's catalogue; she's truly a composer I have yet to give myself the privilege of listening to more of. God bless.
Very beautifully played--harmonically speaking, she had the ability to go very far very fast. Some "I didn't think you could get there from here." moments.
Wonderful playing and fascinating music. Very happy to have found this delightful channel. Have subscribed and I’m looking forward to new contributions. Thank you.
@@DeeCeeHaich from my point of view, Bach is very boring, but you would never see me coming up to a bunch of people happily enjoying his music and spouting a bland unspecific opinion which nobody asked for. I suggest rather than hating on a musician who you can't seem to understand the appeal of, especially unknown artists which you will never be forced to listen to again, ignore that music, and go out to find something you do like.
@@DeeCeeHaich your argument amounts to "the person I like is more popular, and I like them more, and I don't like this person because they're bad and not popular". You sound just like a child, whining at the confrontation of opinions that differ from your own. You cannot articulate logical reasons why you don't agree with the differing opinion, nor do you attempt to approach the situation with empathy. Once again I ask of you, partake in music which you enjoy, and allow others to do the same. If you wish to criticise of course that is welcome, but what I see here is nothing basal insults.
@@DeeCeeHaich Why should I believe you when you've given me nothing to prove otherwise. All you can say is that it's "trash, garbage, incoherent, amateurish". Critique exists for improvement and learning, not as an avenue for your opinions. I am not critiquing, so I don't see why I shouldn't be subjective in expressing my enjoyment. But expressing your subjective dislike is just offputting, I once again ask you, stop interacting on this thread, your negativity is not going to help anyone, and it's not going to make anyone happy.
Thanks! And that’s an interesting comparison with Grieg that I didn’t think of before. Many of his and Beach’s piano pieces are certainly in the same ballpark stylistically.
This waltz doesn't have something in common only with Chopin' s op 64 n 1 ...but also with the Valse Gracile by H.Parker.... It seems to me a blend of the two pieces, with no particular fascination, due to the fact that these two " models" came before this waltz by A.Beach.
Thanks for pointing this out, I didn't know the Horatio Parker piece before. I agree, Beach's waltz seems to blend elements from the two of them, whether intentionally or not. Cool connection!
@Limitsofclassicalmusic-g8q yeah it’s pretty magical when you find a setting that perfectly matches the music you’re playing. Basically has an infinite number of instruments in that sense.
They say that if you play them at the same time, it all cancels out and you just get silence.
This video is surprisingly not clickbait lol, I love it!
Hahah I doubted it myself after making the thumbnail, thanks!

I love Amy Beach! She's a fantastic composer and sadly very unknown.
Absolutely! But, fortunately, we have a growing number of commercial recordings to hear her music.
very imaginative! love beach's harmonic language and the way stresses seem to twist and turn themselves into new phrases
Very beautifully played--harmonically speaking, she had the ability to go very far very fast. Some "I didn't think you could get there from here." moments.
So cool! I just starting discovering this composer and didn't expect it to be her when I clicked on this video. Great performance.

I have never heard of this composer, how is this so beatiful and yet I have never once heard even an acknowledgement of her, Amy Beach.
So glad I could help you discover Amy Beach’s music!

@@DeeCeeHaich 😂😂😂
What a fantastic piece! 😃
Beautiful playing!!
really beautiful
what a clever transition
Was expecting the negative harmony version. 😮
I love love love Amy beach but I’m very sad she’s almost forgotten in history
Beautiful playing! You know, parts of the piece (especially in the beginning) remind me of Grieg's style of writing.
Thanks! And that’s an interesting comparison with Grieg that I didn’t think of before. Many of his and Beach’s piano pieces are certainly in the same ballpark stylistically.
@@PianoCurio I should really check out Amy Beach's music more! (You're welcome, by the way! :))
Very nice.

Slightly reminiscent of Chopin’s nocturne in C sharp minor.
If everyone in these comments moaning about Beach being forgotten learned one of her pieces we’d have less of a problem, wouldn’t we.
I take Dreaming.
Hi, are you a professional pianist and do you use pianoteq 8 to make these recordings?
Yes to both! All of my recordings are made with Pianoteq, it’s such a versatile tool.
@Limitsofclassicalmusic-g8q yeah it’s pretty magical when you find a setting that perfectly matches the music you’re playing. Basically has an infinite number of instruments in that sense.
Really impressed with how good Pianoteq sounds. Especially played by an excellent musician.
Lame!
