Martha: I really don’t want to play Also Martha: walks onto the stage in perfect runway pose straight to the piano while the crowd claps for her vigorously
The early parts of this video seemed a bit all over the place, but at 1:50 , to me it becomes a little like striking gold. Because Martha is saying that she's sleepy, very tired, and it seems clear that she really does not want to go out on stage and play.I certainly don't know what it feels like to be able to play like her, but I sure know what it feels like to be tired and to not want to go to work. She IS a human being. I hope she's well rested and feeling great right now.💖
One of my favorite moments from her is when she turns to the orchestra and gestures them to hurry up in the middle of a performance. I thought it was so iconic.
I love her honesty and how she unapologetically is herself. The musician I strive to be. Loved the ending how she expressed her frustration of being tired and didn’t want to play 😂 no matter how old we get we still have moments where we throw tantrums because ultimately we just want to take a f*cking nap 😭
Understandable fatigue and boredom! I’d hate to have to travel, sleep in strange beds, eat different foods, be unacquainted with the city, have to stand in a reception line several hours and, of course worse of all, having to chit-chat with complete strangers. Quick, give me a drink! And I’m a non-drinker! The concert artists we think WE know and love have every right to their privacy, what if they need to potty? 🎼🎹🎹🎹🎹🎶🎶🎶
For one gifted or talented, it is easy to communicate, or say what most can say and execute this in a proficient manner, but a genius is able to say what most are unable to say this may be impossible for even the most talented person to do, because a genius has a gift spirit and self discovery and develops through listening, concentration and mental picturing to hear and evaluate one's own playing. This ability to listen to every detail of one's own playing allows that special person to pursue their own musical image, vision, or feeling whileat the same time find the suitable technical solution that satisfies what they are imagining. They form a mental map or picture leading towards their destination early on. Many great teachers and great pianists including, Liszt, Neuhaus, and even one of Martha's teachers Vincenzo Scaramuzza, thought that listening, concentrating, and mental picturing was important. For the genius realizes these things and their playing like Martha's doesn't just replicate someone else's ideas. They didn't need to waste time with the traditional way of piano teaching of meaningless exercises and studies which undermine the ability to think and listen to oneself, and for the truly talented such practice just leads to mindless repetition void of magination or mental image leading nowhere with no goal or even worse leading to physical problems. As one put it, to a genius, "technique is the art of materializing an image of what we have decided we want to hear." So, good techniqe a more process of self discovery through listening, concentrating and evaluating ones own playing which leads to developing ones individual way to play different from the usual and simetimes even courageous. Individuality in art can't really be taught it is discovered by the artist which also has open mind, spirit and not only imagines posibilities but communicates them like Martha. Martita is an enigma who must know we love and continuously think about her in the most beautiful way.
Everyone who watched this video and enjoyed it should watch the documentary her daughter produced entitled Bloody Daughter. It’s wonderful to see Martha and the way her daughters relate to this incredible genius.
Have seen it. Found Stephen Bishop’s attitude towards his daughter quite horrifying, and this spoilt the documentary. For me at least. Couldn’t concentrate on Martha.
Argerich never was the greatest! Come on! Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying to Bashkirov the most important lesson is the love of beautiful colorful piano sound! More colorful beautiful piano sound than Argerich=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Argerich=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Stanislav Bunin Maria Grinberg Murray Perahia Alexei Lubimov Dinu Lipatti Stanislav Igolinsky! More powerful louder than Argerich=Mikhail Pletnev! The Second Loudest ever was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi! Beethoven wanted louder instruments piano fortes! Horowitz his technique attack better than Argerich's technique! Argerich had not the best piano sound! Argerich not the best genius! Argerich not the most powerful! Argerich not the best technique!
She didn't want to play 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 she was tired and sleepy, omg, omg 😅😂😂😂😂😂 the girl had to push her into stage 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Martha was at a complete lost and the girl was like 🤪😮 go to stage and effing play 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅 Great video 👋👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍
It’s something very common almost like a pattern where classical musicians speak a lot of languages like Sol Gabetta who speaks spanish, french, german, italian, russian and english, others like Daniel Barenboim, Maria Callas, Philippe Jaroussky and of course Martha Argerich
Just a human being who happens to have an extraordinary talent and is in a profession well known for being quite bizarre and completely out of the realm of experience for 99.9999% of the rest of us.
@@SchlurmsOfficially Yea, but not sure how meme-able he is. BTW if you like Cziffra I highly recommend his autobiography. It's fairly short and you can read it entirely for free online. Made me both laugh and cry.
@@Chopin-Etudes-Cosplay Yeah I agree it might be difficult to make one of these videos about him as he doesn't have a sort of meme-able personality like Gould or Horowitz and in most videos where he is talking he's not speaking English. I've also been thinking of reading his autobiography but didn't know it was available for free online so thank you for telling me, I'll definitely be reading it
The Japanese journalist interviewing Martha Argerich here is the late Tetsuya Chikushi (筑紫哲也, 1935-2008), who used to refuse an interpreter despite his poor English skills. He is related to the legendary Japanese composer, Rentaro Taki (瀧廉太郎, 1879-1903) on his mother's side.
This is like my 4th time watching this video and I just noticed that you put the opening of the Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 1 at the end, the first piano concerto I learned. Thanks! Also, you should make one of these vids for Pollini; you could show him giving a speech about the communist manifesto before the concert lol.
Weren't you the guy claiming a while ago that classical music was dead. Fun polemic to get the juices up. I do like this angle, featuring the greats; none greater than MA since JSB. I like your stuff so I'll subscribe, even with the merest chance that Martha has time to see my comment.
If only. Anything I’ve ever read about her or even interviews she’s given (which have been few) she has said she never reads anything about herself. She finds it embarrassing. Only Argerich could think this way.
PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE TO HELP MARTHA SEE THIS ❤️
Also, comment down below what I should make next!
I’ll ask my friend Dario, at the end of the video, to show it to her… she probably won’t like her sounding like she said she’s the number one ha ha!
@@davidcblock Ive seen the whole interview. She didn’t say she was number one.

If there are any interesting clips, I would love to see Gyorgy Cziffra!
I love the clip where she’s feeling sick and tired before a recital. It makes her so relatable!
i love the clip where she’s playing the ravel concerto perfectly. It makes her so relatable!
Django Reinhardt would have just called it off from what I hear.
Often the hardest part is the feeling just before walking on stage ,best part is the elevating relieve after a good performance
@@peterbrenton410 relatable except for me there’s no relief afterwards because my performance is not good
Oh so you're a lazy person 😂 jk
Martha: I really don’t want to play
Also Martha: walks onto the stage in perfect runway pose straight to the piano while the crowd claps for her vigorously
She's so down to earth as a person but her abilities transcend the skies.
I met her once after a concert. She was drunk af and the moment she came out of the building she lit a cigarette
She is such an icon hahaha
Another reason why she is the best pianist ever
Liszt would've liked her
Drunk? She seems too classy a lady to ever be caught drunk in public
@@Janaceks_Dad you’re joking? She’s known for enjoying alcohol sometimes (she had a feast with Metah and the rest of the philharmonic)
If the world was an anime Martha would be the old wise women and completely shatter everyone
better : the world needs an anime about Martha.
Toph

She's playing in the Teatro Colón this week and the next one!
This video is put together from many videos over several years.
One of my favorite moments from her is when she turns to the orchestra and gestures them to hurry up in the middle of a performance. I thought it was so iconic.
The day when this amazing human being leaves us should be a day of mourning for everyone.
Maybe it will be you/us that leave her. Thank on that for a moment.
@@vova47 I do not quite understand, are you saying we should follow her into death?
i wouldn't be at all surprised if she lives to 185 and is still performing
That's for sure!!
She is our mommy
She is literally the queen of the piano 👑
So natural… so beautiful… and not a hint of arrogance.
All hail Queen Argerich 👑
The best people are humble. She knows she has a great talent but she also recognizes and respects other people too.
Martha: I want to do something different.
Followed by Martha stealing the dine-in coffee cup and saucer from cafe across the street.
"out of context" is actually the life context!
Queen, you dropped this 👑
For me she'll always be the inspiration behind Nodame.
AGREED.
I love her honesty and how she unapologetically is herself. The musician I strive to be.

I love how you laugh dearest Martita. A big hug to you.
Grande Martita!! Most relatable virtuoso 😂
I have looked your videos, all are great! Thanks for your work!
her ability in different languages amazes me... i count 4
She can speak Spanish, French, Italian, German, English and Portuguese.
QUEEN
crosses the street , teacup and saucer in hand
tired and doesn't wanna play, plays anyway
she is so much better than me lmao #queen
That second to last clip made me laugh so hard
“I’d like to do something different. I don’t know how.”
Marha es una Diosa del Piano y de la Música, única e incomparable.
I love this kind of content!
this is genius! please do this with Evgeny Kissin too, he's a very precious man
Indeed!
Such a gift to the world
The instrument after a Martha concert: rolls out in the street, says "I am so tired" and smokes a cigarette.

In one of Martha’s rare interviews, the interviewer told her this.
Talent does what it can.
Genius does what it must.
How fitting.
what a gem
how could u forget the part from the chopin rehearsal scene in bloody daughter where she puts the used banana peel on the ashtray 😭
Only Martha would do that so nonchalantly!

I love Martha argerich . Don’t make her play to early in the morning.! She is the piano queen .
OH MAN THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD
Guess I can say... Mother is mothering
I'd prefer to watch her "out of control" for hours to people like Lang Lang or Yuja Wang or whatever "in control" for 1 second...
THAT LAST CLIP LOL

dont know why i just watched this but the moment with nelson freire is so funny
Last month I met her after the concert, she was lovely 😍
1:21 My favorite clip: how to -respectfully- skillfully disagree (as Martha)
Can u explain that part a bit more?
You know what? I'm happy.
IT'S HERE

Didn’t know she was chill like that😏
It's funny to see her having to be dragged kicking and screaming onto the stage
She’s an enigma!🤔😄
absolute girlboss

She can speak Spanish, English, French, Portuguese…♥️♥️♥️
I also heard her speaking German and Italian.

She is the pianist i would love to meet
If possible, can we get one such video on Helene Grimaud 🙏🏾 I'd like to see how she's like when she isn't playing. She's mysterious.

In the snippet with Nelson Freire, is she talking about HIS piano?!
She was talking about his piano. He had two in his house and one was dirty and she wanted to clean the keys with her cologne.
@@drrabner47She said she uses Chanel no 5
¨I would like to do something different, Idk how¨ relatble
Something similar is between Martha and Meryl Streep. Sometimes I can see it, maybe I'm wrong
Can you do Helene grimaud or Evgeny Kissin?
I love this hahahahhaa
Thank youuuuu
Do one with Cziffra! That man was a legend
(Tears out all the piano keys with a warm-up)
"I am finished, thank you!"
