I loved how within the first few notes he was already expressing so much emotion. I feel that the emotion and presentation shows how you really love that piece of music. It was a absolutely beautiful!
I honestly think that it doesnt have any jazz feel Listen to andre watts his is much better in terms of feel (and not just feel but presentation overall)
This piece is marked at 100 beats per minute. It’s extremely fast and Gruzman is playing it exactly at that speed. I’ve been working on this for a few weeks now and I can play it at about 80 but that extra 20% comes at a cost ! GG himself played it at about 90 so I’m not going to spend the rest of my life on the last increment !! I’m pleased that Gruzman plays a couple of wrong notes (bar 48 a crunch and bar 52 just wrong) and that he just accepted it for this performance. It’s a very fine and exciting performance.
my thoughts exactly! I´m struggling with bar 52 to hit the right notes (LOVED that he accepted his bumps there), but more than that, I´m aiming to create these sooo fine dynamic levels that make it sound so playfull, almost childish in character
Rhythm and groove are the heart and soul of these pieces, wrong notes not so much. You should not shy away from practising up at full speed from time to time. Just accept wrong notes, be there a hundred, as part of the process. Feel the vibe, dance, enjoy. The speed changes your whole system, muscular involvement and so forth all of your body engages in a very different mode. That's why you can't just start out slower and then go ever so sightly faster. You need to approach from both ends. Your body needs to experience the mode ... wich is in fact an emotion .. you can even make it an improvising session. This will unlock mysteries previously deemed unreachable. Don't let fear of wrong notes in the hard moments compromise your beat in other moments, listen to yourself in the very moment and focus totally on the emotion. That said the 100 is just an about suggestion, it's all about the feel - you might hit it at 80 on another day :)
@@jr_oantoniofor me, personally, this is not the hard part. It's the next takt(53) because I just miss the octaves while switching in the left hand so quick🙈
Amen! 😂 He really knows this piece, I never could play jazz on the piano because that is not my strongest genera. When I play a jazz piece I sound like I just started playing, but in reality I’ve been playing eight years so......😂 he did an amazing job!
Never has there been a composer with the skill to create both conventional and classical compositions utilizing the full potential complement of the keyboard to such perfection. The result is pure listening joy and happiness.
@@morganmartinez8420 hey there Jezza here to explain the joke. The joke here is that for a 2 minute recording, the long ass biography of the performer's lifetime accomplishments in the description is very unnecessary. Therefore, good old Ellen Y is having a laugh about it, highlighting the absurdity of the video's description.
This piece taught me the importance of slow practice
me too hehe!!
The first person I heard playing this song with "that soul rhythm"
so clean and crisp..with that real jazz feel.

Can you give a timestamp of both bars?

@@mangomerkel2005 I´m just now reading your comment, sorry. It´s the mess happening in 1:20
I have never really listen to jazz music, but he makes it very enjoyable. He made it light and fun, and full of emotion.
I don't know why, this sounds better than when its me playin'
Same with me! Funny how that happens lol
Amen to that

Idk man I heard using a range of dynamics can help and accenting certain parts of the song so the audience can feel the beat can help.
The government 😑

Why is this so cool
Because it's Gershwin. Just like Sondheim. Another cool genius...
Because of the Rhythm
@@xuyu6990 Because it is Manhattan - sights and sounds for us whose home it is.

@@morganmartinez8420 why do you seem to be so irritated by a single "lol"
@@morganmartinez8420 Touchy
Very awsome
So clean. No effusive rubato.
Beethoven been real quiet since this dropped
I gotta learn this! I'm not good with jazz though lol
You got this man!
Pov you study 40 hour a day just for 1.37 min of music
If I’m playing this in a recital or something, am I allowed to pound the keys? Just wondering…😅😅😅
