Painting : Avond; De rode boom (Evening; The Red Tree) by Piet Mondriaan (1872-1944)
I suffer from Parkinson's disease and frequently go without sleep for days. Without music and the availability of it on RUclips I could not cope with my life. Pieces like this have often brought me great strength and tremendous joy when everything else around seems to mean absolutely nothing . Life without music would not be worth living and I'm totally convinced that great composers who also suffered much in their lives knew that they were in some way responsible for leaving behind them the means by which others could survive and take shelter from the storm. From the mists of time they reach out,, pat our heads and whisper in our ears that everything's going to be alright. How fortunate we are to have those heroes who went before.
good music is one those rare glimpses of perfection mankind can hope for
I am so glad music brings you comfort and joy, it does the same thing for me. Music is a great gift to all of us, but sadly, many never open the gift.
A remark by Haydn late in his life which confirms your conviction: "Often, when struggling against obstacles of every sort which oppose my labors: often, when the powers of mind and body weakened, and it was difficult to continue the course I had entered on; -- a secret voice whispered to me: "there are so few happy and contented peoples here below; grief and sorrow are always their lot; perhaps your labors will once be a source from which the care-worn, or the man burdened with affairs, can derive a few moments rest and refreshment." This was indeed a powerful motive to press onwards, and this is why I now look back with cheerful satisfaction on the labors expended on this art, to which I have devoted so many long years of uninterrupted effort and exertion."
AMEN
Just out of curiosity what other pieces speak to you this way?
I am an insomniac, so I often woke up in unholy morning time and simply can’t find my rest. In those time I like to listen music. When I first heard this beautiful piece, it was around four a.m. and I had headphones, because I didn’t wanted to woke up my beloved. Whole time I listened to each note, I was looking at her beautiful sleeping face and feeling how I am falling in love with her again. It was the most beautiful morning in my life.
careful now, dont be falling in love now, thats your whole life out the window if it goes to shit, and it will go to shit, trust me. otherwise cool story, just be careful ok.
@@khalnetherfields7263 What a downer, man. He fell in love with his own wife. Leave him alone.
@@khalnetherfields7263 well I have really bad memories and scars about how I fall in love in wrong time and with wrong people. Trust me that I am really carefull. My beloved is someone different. She bring me from my darkness and depression and teached me how to life again (I had to took antidepressants for eight years, now I am free from it)
@@LeozVinci it's wonderful that you're off medication and i'm happy for you since i know how it feels when you're alone with your racing thoughts at night and it's nice you found the same strategy to escape. also, i hope you can enjoy every moment with your beloved and let me say, your thankfulness is beautiful. but please don't forget that the credit for bringing you to life again not only belongs to her - it is first and foremost yours. you decided, at a point, that it was worth living, learning and growing again, and obviously you didn't leave this path until now. she surely did a lot for you, maybe without even trying, but it is you who climbed out of the mud. i wish you can carry on with peace inside, all the best.
@@krinilotta Thank you for kind words. I know some credits are mine, but my beloved was there when everybody said that I am lost forever and I won't be able to live normal life again. She was there even when my family left me alone (I don't blame them. I have still vivid imagine of my mother when she tried to conviced me that I should live and not die from inside... but it was hard). In those times, my beloved was with me. She was so kind and tender. In those days I decided that I want to live and she was there and helped me. It will be two years when I am off medication and I am enjoyng life as never before.
Every year at Thanksgiving, my dad and grandpa play this piece. I've grown up listening to it once a year, and I have so many fond memories associated with it.
When your grandpa goes, you're going to have to take his place. And when your dad goes, your kid's going to take his place! If you can't play, then get started! Sounds like an awesome tradition. :)
It is an awesome tradition! :) And I've been playing piano since I was six (I'm twenty now), and fully plan on carrying on the tradition when my grandpa is no longer around.
PigPenguin91, it is a beautiful experience that you mentioned, thanks for sharing!!
No problem! It's one of my favorite experiences every year, so I'm happy to share it and am glad other people are enjoying it, too.
+PigPenguin91 I also hope others will enjoy this piece of masterpiece and remember all the memories they had. This piece is my favorite duet and favorite piece composed by Schubert.
Schubert wrote this piece for the sole purpose of playing it alongside Karoline Esterhazy, a young girl from the Austrian nobility, who received musical tuition from Schubert. Schubert was very fond of her and often commented on her wonderful playing. He loved spending time with her more than anyone else in his life.
That tree looks like Rachmaninoff's hands
are you implying he only had 72 fingers?
please look at some of his scores and think again
Looks like a Modrian to my eye.
The finger splits
you mean liszt?

These old composers left an everlasting legacy for the world to enjoy
to me, this is achieving true immortality.
Not old, timeless.
Considering the way the west is going, this is like the fall of Greece and Rome on repeat. Years from now we'll look at those artists like we look at Greek art or Greek tragedies today, talking about a European "miracle" etc.
@@sophiaperennis2360 History has never been a linear march towards progress. Whoever believes this were possible is bound to be disappointed. No right-wing politics or converting back to catholicism is going to save you from this fact.
indeed they did...
I have been trying to find this piece of music for nearly 40 years. Now youtube simply started playing it. Perhaps I have died or something?
This is one of Schubert's most inspired pieces. it is absolutely extraordinary to see how much the composer is able to maintain an absolute musical tension throughout the piece, starting from the splendid opening melody.
Another marvelous Schubert Is The Trout quintet on YT by Vienna philharmonic.
This piece is another example of why Franz Schubert is in terms of talent relative to age one of the three greatest composers of all time, the others being J.S. Bach and Mozart. Schubert died at the age of 31. If you compare Schubert's works to the works any other composers, including Beethoven, written when they were 31 or younger you can appreciate the enormity of Schubert's talent. Also, this is a wonderful performance, because it is so easy to wreck the piece with a pounding and ponderous rendition of the many octave passages.
1. Allegro Molto Moderato
2. Largo 4:51
3. Scherzo. Allegro Vivace 7:26
4. Finale. Allegro Molto Moderato 13:08
+automatofix thanks so much for adding that to the video ...
Solely Reminiscence You're welcome!
Notice that, as in the Wanderer Fantasy, the movements are played without pause, and are compressed. The opening movement only gets as far as the end of the exposition before giving way to the slow movement, which is simple A-B-A form and very terse (for Schubert). This leads directly to the fully realized Scherzo-Trio-Scherzo (with all the usual repeats). The brief transition then returns to the very opening theme; this flows into a long, elaborate, and powerful fugue, which climaxes on a discord followed by a long rest, and then the opening returns, weary, hesitant, and finally ending with a series of the most amazing chords ever penned by Schubert, or anyone else.
This work dates from 1828, the composer's thirty-second year. He also put the finishing touches on the great" C major symphony, wrote the two piano trios, the Schwanengesang, and Auf dem Strom,; and in September completed the C major string quintet and the last three piano sonatas. In October he wrote The Shepherd on the Rock for soprano, clarinet and piano, and a choral Benedictus. On November 19th he died.
Like many of the others who commented here I have fond memories of playing this piece, in public and private. Most of those I played it with are gone now. Hearing this beautiful performance is a reminder: Carpe diem.
Thanks for the upload. As I write nearly a third of a million people have shared the experience. Update, June, 2019: over 3 million people. There is hope for mankind.
Thank you kind sir
Thank you!
This is a beautiful performance, but I think it has the same issue most modern performances of classical music have. Today, it's classical music to us. Back then, it was popular music. There were no recordings, you heard it because the best two pianists at the party sat down and played it while you drank and listened. Many of these musical ideas were new and exciting and modern at the time. There would've been a lively, crowd-pleasing atmosphere, the pianists would've played up the dramatic moments in the music even more than this.
We're a little deaf to classical music today because it's no longer our cultural moment. For example, the melodic theme in this music, with its grace notes and percussive repetitions, was actually pretty exotic and ornamental and mysterious. And listen to what Schubert wrote at 12:51. This was entertainment, this was drama, this was what people had instead of a television. We're a much more passive audience to this music today than Schubert's audience was then, and the disposition of the audience shapes the posture of the performance.
"the best two pianists at the party sat down and played it while you drank and listened", that's how I still listen it :)
Kevin Mathewson--What an interesting discussion. But I still hear and respond to beauty even if it's not of our age. There's no way to recreate the zeitgeist and adapt our ears to another period in history; nevertheless, classical music is timeless. Will they still be listening to Beyonce in 300 years? I don't know if you have a Classical Revolution chapter in your city, but they might put together a string quartet or a piano quintet playing in a coffee shop or bar with all the normal noise and discussion of patrons around it. Of course the audience is more participatory, responsive and enthuiastic, and that is one interesting way to hear music, but I vastly prefer the concert hall with its respectful silence.
i think the problem is more in perfection intead of musicaly try to understand
this was not "popular" music , if you were rich ,famous or a royalty this was your entertainment but if you were poor (as most people at the time) then you were stuck with church music and some chants here and there , and that was it
we're in better situation since we're able to enjoy music of all sorts and from all corners of the world yet we still enjoy classical music , but we are much more stimulated than they were , thats why classical music could sound some what dull or boring to some people because its a music that takes its time to view its exotic and interesting bits
MoJo A. Well we talk about 1800 and past not 1600 there’s a little difference
Maria João Pires. One of the best pianists in the world. Love her job with Chopin's Nocturnes and Schubert's Impromptus. And now this.
And lest we not forget Ricardo Castro, very very talented. Incredible duo. Very proud to be Portuguese at the moment and everytime I hear them play ^_^
14:40 breaks my heart every time. This strong motif, repeated throughout the piece, doesn't continue strongly, as it always has. It just says "never mind" and moves on. Like a person.
You mean 17:40 ? Because that is more how I percieve it
+Clems0067 Nope, 14:40.
Antimony, sorry to hear that, hope that you feel differently somehow ... perhaps when listening again to this beautiful music, in another light.
+Solely Reminiscence Both places were great and sank into my heart.
Clems0067 it starts at 14:40 then the nevermind part is at 17:40. So you're both right!Beautiful piece!
Perhaps the most intense comment section of the entire RUclips. You all guys are wonderful. Would love to have a big diner all together :)
Hay Pierre I was just thinking that. So many deep comments- only a few disturbed people, but more positive than I’ve ever seen. ❤️
Thanks, Druk(Another Round).
@fruityeden. One of the best films of 2020.
Un beso del pasado, me enseño que Bach es más que cuatro letras.....
I remember a day where I was sitting inside my house with this music playing. It was raining outside and the sky was a dark grey almost like nighttime had already arrived. The subtlety of the beginning of this piece was so powerful. Even though I hadn’t lent my ears to the piece it fit the occasion so perfectly that I couldn’t help but concentrate on it. The sky outside changed throughout the piece. At certain moments it felt like the sky was weeping, other times tears of joy. Before I knew it the whole piece finished playing and I found myself staring out the window into the wet rainy street. This piece made me feel so calm and assured that a rainy day isn’t so bad. After all music like this becomes strangely powerful when the time of day or the climate is in set to a specific mood.
I've played piano for 10 years, and i taught one of my best friend to play. He's a fast learner, now we're able to play the 5 first pages of that fantasy (he plays secondo). We really need to get back to it and play the whole piece.
Leave it to Franz Schubert to write a piece in a minor key and still make it sound so uplifting.
I don't want to be uplifted by you ...lol ... jk😁
@One Ness It may be just a "Minor" issue.
the minor parts are not, but the major are. compare chaikovskys major sounding piano concerto 1 in b flat minor...
at 1:36 it goes major, and it is only then that it is up liftinc

A stunningly beautiful piece, with subtle contrasts of light and shade, played with subtlety, delicacy and grace, and near perfect synergy between two superb artists. Lovely.

Bloody hell man. I was just looking at that picture and fell in love with it. Wanted to know who painted it . Maybe get myself a cheap poster or something. So thanks to you I now know who it is by. I think it's the colours? ??
Lea Lef In a painting lesson my teacher asked me to use this piece to practice and see what difference I would make in my work. Love it, thanks for telling the name!
As a simple country boy from South Africa I just see it as a very pretty painting. Nothing less, nothing more. Still hunting down a cheap poster.
The first time I heard this caused me not to be able to work until I'd finished listening to it. I had to find ways to appear busy because I just couldn't stop focusing on the music.
Schubert is the great one who never experienced the great public success but was nevertheless one of the most prominent composers ever. Wonderful piece of music.
Merveilleux moment musical. Shubert exprime toute sa sensibilité dans cette oeuvre. Merci pour ce partage.
Sunshine Film Magnifique music

A marvelous piece. So many moods and colors. The more I hear Schubert the more I love life.Thank you for posting.
Listen at midnight, close your eyes and feel the despair mysteriously turn to love in your heart. The beauty this man possessed deep inside his soul will never cease to amaze me. Four hands sing together in perfect harmony. Astonishing.
Yes, this is a very beautiful comment and does justice to the music.
Sheer rapture!
Very nice words John, thank you
I have loved Schubert's music, particularly his music for a very few performers, chamber, solo piano, and four hands, most of my adult life. I never ever tire of the beauty of his work.
This is so lovely. First time ever hearing this piece. So happy to have come across it. ❤️
the more I listen to shubert, the more I think I'm in love with him
Absolutely. Every piece by Schubert is an absolute masterpiece. The more I listen to him to more I fall in love with his music.
Same here. These days I am nearly listening nothing but Schubert.
Too bad nobody loved him
What an apt way to think of Schubert! Exactly!
Me too. My favorite composer
完全着魔了，听了好几天了还是停不下来，这首曲子写得太棒了，全程高能，从第一个音符开始就完全把人抓住了，20分钟内都不会走神，有机会练练，找人一起弹！
Apart from the transcendent beauty of the melodies, the genius of this duo is in the effortless and mysterious shifts from minor to major , from melancholy to joy, - a characteristic of Mozart.
@silverbud It happens regularly in Schubert and Mozart but I wouldn't say its a world mystery. It needs genius to pull it off well, though.
@silverbud ruclips.net/video/efDmd0h99QY/видео.html
Quatre mains, ce n'est pas trop pour interpréter ce bijou d'artisanat élaboré par Schubert. Les deux pianistes restituent les gracieux élans de l'âme de l'auteur tout en sachant revenir à une sereine et calme interprétation de la partition, le moment venu.
Idk what you said but it sounds beautiful because it’s in french
@@blasecorrea8350 Four hands, that's not too much to interpret this craft's jewel (ndt idk why craft) elaborated by Shubert. The two pianists restore the gracefulls author's surges of soul, knowing return to a calm and serene interpretation of the music sheet, when the time comes.
It is rapturing, soft and rigourous, sweet and lively!! schubert is a master in segmenting his works in pieces of different rythms combined together to give the earer a fascinating sens of brillant move and standstill quietness.
Xavier, you must be a musician, artist, to have understood so well this wonderful, so lovely, soulful piece of Schubert.
thank you, i learned from you to perceive more of all these kinds of beautiful sounds. It can be a tool for meditation.
One of many delightful, wonderful creations of Franz Schubert. So beautifully interpreted by these two pianists. My congratulations!
Thank you, I like this music very much.
I totally LOVE Schubert...he has the best components in structure and melody of classicism and the nostalgia and sensitivity of the romanticism
Francisco Walker oh yeah
Effectively.....Schubert was already marking the way for the romantic area of music....what a genius.....my favorite composer and always will....
Hello :) Why do you guys think we feel empty sometimes? A lingering disturbing feeling that we try to avoid that something is amiss, but we cant quite explain it. i want to know what you guys think. Thank You.
Maybe it's because we're lonely, and we feel that no one else in the world is quite like us.
the emptiness is a blessing, a purpose to endlessly search to be fulfilled, and the journey of fulfillment.
As usual, can’t sleep. 1,00 am, hit on this and now definitely can’t sleep as listening to this wonderful performance. So, insomnia has its rewards as my appreciation of classical music grows.
a short summary of my entire existence
Sounds about right, my love for music grows daily due to trawling through tonnes of songs in the wee hours, changing genres to my heart's content. Classical music has many fond memories from my youth attached to it, only just started taking up music again and jazz and classical were old favourites. Sorry for the lengthy nonsense, insomnia got the best of me and I realised id not make it to today's lectures without staying up all night so I'm a tad deprived haha.
3am ditto
Yeah same 1:09am
Well the only good thing insomnia has brought me is classical music like this too sounds about right
Just watched Another Round😂... And came looking for this masterpiece 💖

Oh, I don't really know, she must be a very special lady having inspired Schubert that deeply in the music. Thanks for your comment.
Solely Reminiscence I was reading a book on Schubert's Winterreise that brought up this piece.
Victor P. what book?
désolé victor j'adore vraiment schubert , un de mes artistes préférés mais je crois sincèrement pour l"avoir étudié que schubert n'aimait pas vraiment les femmes , enfin c'est mon avis mais ça ne change rien au génie immense qu'il fût et je ne le remercierait jamais pour les joyaux qu'il laissa à nos pauvres âmes
suayasia siboney decuba Qu'est-ce qui te fait dire ça?
Thank you Franz. God bless your heart.
I have always loved Schubert.
Embarrassed to say that if it weren't for the touching Korean drama (Secret Affair) on Netflix that I saw recently, I wouldn't have come to know this music. For classical music lovers, I would recommend watching that.
Don't be embarassed, it's always good to find something moving, no matter what you brought there... I learned to laugh at pretentious comments like "Ugh, I'm here because I have great musical taste, not because of some stupid [insert whatever here]". They are shallow and pointless.
se un giorno mai il mio muscolo cardiaco dovesse scordarsi come si batte, saprei cosa fargli ascoltare per aiutarlo.

Lovely, lovely, incomparably lovely. Beautifully played! And so nice that 41,000 other people agree!
Schubert was in his last year of life when he composed this amazing piece. The painting we see is pretty much what Schubert was at the time: still standing but stripped of vitality and facing an inevitable end.
the vitality obviously remained in his music...how wonderful!
Well put
Highly poetic
I am amazed when I see thumbs down to something like this! What's not to like!
I can nearly cry in the middle because of its beautiful sound and the performers have great feelings to this piece. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for uploading such an amazing and memorable video. By the way, who was the Primo? He/she played it with a lot of feeling and they had great teamwork. The music really fits the picture! Thank you so much for making this video.
thanks for your comment ... as for the Primo, Maria João Pires plays it.
fabulosa interpretación ana bur

This is so beautiful... Schubert is my favourite piano composer of all the time... I can really feel the feeling he put in these songs. Even if basically he's not the best out of them, I really resonate with his masterpieces.
Thie Piece immediately caught my heart the first time I heard it. I've been coming back to hear this version again and again since then. This interpretation brings a gentleness to it which melts my heart every time the theme comes back in a new modulation. I don't even identify where the modulations go to. Still, I can rest assured that wherever we are, we will find the original theme in its full sweetness and simplicity. Heaven on Earth. 💕

Parabéns Maria João Pires por mais esta interpretação maravilhosa.
I'm from CANADA. In 1971 I went to Spain and signed up at the conservatory in Sevilla. I was petrified when the teacher told me I'd be playing this with a large man with a very heavy touch. We had to practice in our apartment so the whole building had the pleasure of hearing it over and over, as did my 3 sisters. They really got to hate it which kind of ruined it for me. When I hear it now 45 years later I remember every note and am proud and relieved that we made it through 😜👍

Depuis que je suis toute petite, j'adore le piano et (en plus, avec le temps, je me suis mise à adorer les mains de pianiste). Les 2 sont "magiques". Il y a une telle grâce dans le geste.......... C'est juste, un art pour moi, comme regarder un tableau de maître !!!!!!!!!!!!
I first heard this piece played by Lucas and Arthur Jussen on RUclips and became addicted to it. This version is even better and Maria João Pires was one of their teachers! And the brothers went on to play with Ricardo Castro as well. The artistic lineages in music and the other arts are one of the best and most important aspects of all the fields.
I like several versions and listen in rotation. But what drew me to this piece originally was a review way back in 2017, when I read that this piece became a rite of passgae especially for children being taught to play by a parent. To play this piece at 9, 11, 13, 15 with a parent and maybe switch parts later in that sequence was a common link among Piano playing families.
I was reading the poetry of the Russian poets Marina Tsvetaeva and Boris Pasternak who both had piano virtuoso mothers who taught them from an early age. They both studied at the same Moscow Conservatory. And they both had the experience of playing this with their mothers before they were 10. They also had the experience of accompanying singers in their family or that they knew on the Song Series "Wintereis" by Schubert.
So beautiful - it takes one to a secret place where the soul is renewed. A real privilege to listen to it.
I woke up this morning with the lovely and haunting opening theme running through my head. I am in awe at the genius of Schubert, his ability to touch us, in sleep as well as when awake.
Schubert & Pires: what more?
What a masterpiece
I agree!! It has so many emotions
Dear Solely Reminiscense, the name of the pianist playing with Maria Joāo Pires is Ricardo (and not Richard) Castro. The Brazilian pianist won the first prize in the prestigious "Leeds International Piano Competition" in 1993 and is a member of the Royal Academy of Music. In 2003, he began a piano duo with Maria João Pires. Together they gave a series of recitals in the major concert halls of Europe, among which the Viena Konzerthaus, Palau de la Música in Barcelona, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, Théâtre des Champs Elysées, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Tonhalle Zurich. In 2005 was released a CD of the duo, Resonance de l'Originaire by Deutsche Grammophon, with works by Franz Schubert solo and four hands. This is, probably, the recording you took the Schubert Fantasy from. Thank you for uploading it.
Thank you for letting me know my typo (I corrected it now)... Indeed I uploaded this beautiful music from the CD "Résonance de l'Originaire", a truly beautiful recording of moving music of Schubert!
You are welcome. And I thank you again for having uploaded it.

Yes, Maria Joao Pires is a wonderful pianist, i heard her play a Mozart piano concerto, loved her right away. As a pianist, also as a very charismatic beautiful woman. Thanks for all the info.
@@arjenvanrijn8068 how well said, and so true, Arjen.thank you.
LOVE. Music has both female and male aspects. There is no specific gender in music to be found. There is no discrimination in music, no prejudice, no hate, only love, and truth. Like here. Thanks for sharing, it helps so many people
Beautifully said, my friend
Oh my god - the comments below are all gem. Schubert, you inspired us all.

Cuando no puedo escribir un poema, y no sale una palabra, esta melodia viene a decirme: hay luz detras de la lluvia, y fuego detras de la niebla. Y escribo. Con Schubert en piano.
Einfach wunderbar !
The most lyrical and beautiful version. My favorite.
So relaxing and inspiring at the same time! Thank you for sharing!

A lovely choice.. Piet saw rhythm in light as we hear it in music. He loved his Rhythms.
Ich denke im Mittelteil immer an Lois de Funés Filme . Ich kann gar nichts dagegen machen .

There’s too much to live, believe me, too much. You just have to know.
If you need something, just tell me. I’m here to help.
Schubert , what to say about him ? I will never forget the good he did for me
Vous pouver écouter cette musique dans le film de Szabó istván,. "Le gout de soleil" qui parle de l'histoire d'une famille juive hongoise. Vous devez voir r ce film. Szabó Isván a fait Mephisto aussi ce film a gagné le prix Oscar. Fantastique.
Curiosa manera en la que encontré esto; recomendaciones de RUclips mientras estoy dormido. Un día, a las 4 a.m. me levanté, perplejo, por escuchar esto. Simplemente no podía dormir escuchando tal obra. Tenía que apreciarla. Esto es tan lindo que me levantó. Impresionante.
............BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DÍKY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
