    Normal people: rubato in two hands in same time
    Professionals: rubato in one hand while the other is in tempo
    Babayan: rubato in each voice!

    Love how he allows the voice part to float away from and drift back to the accompaniment part - independent rubato for each part rather than a single approach to both parts.

    It is so interesting to listen with the score - in a few playes Babayan decides to completely ignore the dynamic markings - sometimes there is no perceivable dynamic difference between forte and the following pianissimos. I'm not saying it as a criticism, it's just an observation - it is good to have different, individual interpretations. Babayan's is fantastic, one of the best.

    How interesting to combine a great pianist's music with my own vocal line. I have to slow down, keep together with a new collaborator. It is a challenge! And unlike a music score normally, there is no separate vocal line to follow, so you must know this music vocally - perfectly.

    @RedZed1974 6 лет назад +8

    I think moving a bunch of the melody's/lyrics' down beats to the 2nd 16th note of the measure was a mistake. They should hit at the start of the measure like the original song. It detracts from the rhythmic flow. And if there was ever a piece that's supposed to crank along *at tempo* without a bunch of hesitation and rhythmic ambiguity, it's this one.

    • @Archiekunst
      @Archiekunst 6 лет назад +18

      This is a Liszt transcription. If anything, blame Liszt. The original Schubert lied flows smoothly in rhythm.
      The reason why Liszt did that is for technical reasons. The singing note and the accompaniment note are too close to each other. Easier to just combine them otherwise the pianist cannot make it stand out as beautifully as Babayan did.

      I get both sides of it now! You see the wheel as a representation of her emotional flux, representing the ebb and flow of her heart. I have always viewed this piece as Gretchen using the constistent rhythm of the wheel to focus herself, to hold it together, to not break down as she is so torn. Kind of like stress cleaning :) Thank you for the other perspectives!

    • @RedZed1974

      Oh yeah, it was definitely Liszt's decision :) Shubert's blameless in my little accusation.

    • @huathebard
      @huathebard 6 лет назад +1

      It's one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't things. If it had been on the beat, then the inner voice would strike the same melody note immediately after, which is not such a great sound either (and makes it close to impossible to sustain the melody note with finger pedal.) That being said, I think the effect of the melody note being off the beat largely disappears if you play fast enough (faster than this recording. Babayan is an incredible pianist, but I think the tempo here is too slow and really pronounces the effect of the offbeat melody notes.)
