      @@dcytol The thing is, that's what you have pictured in your mind's ear, which is a dream reality. A fantasy. We will never know what it would have truly sounded like at the time Bach was alive or what his true intentions were, or how his preconceived notiion of music would change with the invention of the piano during his lifetime and what his preconceived notion of music was before it was invented.. Also, the dynamics are there, you're just not listening hard enough. Bach thought the treble of the piano forte was too weak. So who are you to say what should and should not be when it's really your own self-righteousness that wants things to be how you want them to sound? You're out of your element.

    Growing up, my mom developed a severe alcohol addiction and drank for probably 10 years, heavily. Up until entering college (sophomore now), I lived with my dad because my mom's addiction became too overwhelming and made the family environment unbearable. She's been sober for half a year now, but starting two months ago, she began getting symptoms. She waited a month to go to the hospital out of fear, although her skin and eyes were turning yellow, she had ascites, in which fluid builds up in the abdomen and can be very painful. The day before she finally knew she had to go to the hospital, she coughed up blood. She's been in the hospital for a month and a half. She most likely has liver failure and will need a transplant, but she is not in "urgent" need (she's not dying, like some people are, unfortunately, but will probably need a liver transplant in the future), but is in great pain. Doctors are now saying it could be "something else", after more than a month of testing, daily blood work, evaluations, etc. I typically only listen to rap and 70s/80s rock, and listen to classical occasionally when I studied.One day while studying and listening to the "Intense Studying" playlist on Spotify (an official Spotify playlist comprised of classical music), French Suite No. 1 in d-minor Allemande BMV812, by Murray Perahia, I believe, started to play. I've never felt such emotion radiating from a song and it really got me into classical music. This occurred maybe a month ago, and as of two weeks ago, this song inspired me to purchase a relatively expensive digital piano. It is my dream to play this song, and can play the first few notes; however, it will take much time and practice to play Allemande, let alone the whole suite(s). This song alleviates my despair caused by my mom's illness. Every time I'm feeling down, I just come here to watch Shiff effortlessly invoke the pinnacle of human creativity and talent that is Bach. Bach was truly a genius and a man ahead of his time, and credit also is deserved by Shiff for his exquisite rendition (disregarding accuracy) of one of Bach's magnificent works.
    P.S. Perahia has a video describing his interpretation of French Suite No.1. It is supremely thoughtful and genuinely phenomenal. I enjoy his interpretation of the Allemande just as much as Shiff's. I'm not familiar with music theory, as I am a complete beginner, but Perahia's interpretation seems to be more romantic and slower, which I greatly enjoy, too. Here's the link, if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/GPrJXfM8Kq8/видео.html

      I am studying music, this is my seventh year in the race and I have to play this piece, I think it will be difficult but I will try it!
      If you want to play the piano, do it, it's a beautiful instrument and learning music is an incredible experience. Over time you will grow in the musical aspect but also in the human aspect, start with basic things, if you want to play some Bach when you have some experience, go for the "Minuet in G" or the "Minuet in G minor" "; Inventions are really good pieces and not as difficult as this one.

    • @GSHAPIROY

      Schiff played the rhythm completely wrong! It's dotted rhythms, but he played them as triplets, in essence changing the time signature from 2/2 to 12/8!

      @fernandoserico77 7 лет назад +9

      Michał Lukasz the fact is that in the baroque era they always added ornamentation by improvising it and not writing it on the score. The interpreter is free to add ornamentation

    • @michalukasz1660
      @michalukasz1660 7 лет назад +2

      It would be best to look at each composers manuscript to be able to tell, as for instance Rameau used ornamentation on his notes.
      I wonder about the Toccata and Fugue D-moll beggining Bachs, it has a
      ornament at the start. Is it possible that even though this manuscrpit was considered a training piece, that it was performed without this ornament.
