An adequate performance ruined by stupid camera work. For example in the Bm section @ 7:40 a shot is established 8:10 it bleeds (these take a few seconds) to a side shot 9:10 the famous B section 9:33 the camera pulls back (not in relation to anything in the music) 9:40 bleed to the behind the right shoulder from the upper balcony shot (I know there's no upper balcony in the stair hall of the Breakers)(upper balcony implies lower balconies) 10:09 bleed to long shot 11:04 bleed to behind the shoulder 11:17 bleed to overhead 11:40 bleed to long shot 12:08 moving in for no reason 12:20 bleed to shot of the stair's arch, no pianist at all, and finally the pianist in the shoulder shot 12:37 moving and a bleed together 12:39 bleed in the middle of a cascade of octaves 13:53 bleed to overhead. All these camera changes happen without relation to anything in the music. If the camera changed every now and then when the music changed- -a new angle for a new section, it wouldn't be as bad. But this camera moves around regardless of the music. Of course, cameramen, or women, think a music video is about the camera work. It's not, of course, it's about the music. The camera shouldn't be fighting with the music, or establishing its own rhythm contrary to that of the music. There's an early Hamelin in Merkin Hall where the camera is fixed about 20 feet from the pianist's right elbow, for the whole piece. This is fine. It's what our eyes do, if we're looking at the pianist. Someone should tell these camera-people to calm down and listen to the music!
I've been going through all the videos of this piece I could find on youtube recently(small hand pianist who wants to look at other people's fingerings) . Funny enough, this video is by far the best I have seen so far in terms of capturing the pianist's hands and movements. It's a shame that his hands are far larger than mine in my original intent watching this video but I found it incredibly clear as a technical reference (of how the pianist approached this piece)

9:33 the camera pulls back (not in relation to anything in the music)
9:40 bleed to the behind the right shoulder from the upper balcony shot (I know there's no upper balcony in the stair hall of the Breakers)(upper balcony implies lower balconies)
10:09 bleed to long shot
11:04 bleed to behind the shoulder
11:17 bleed to overhead
11:40 bleed to long shot
12:08 moving in for no reason
12:20 bleed to shot of the stair's arch, no pianist at all, and finally the pianist in the shoulder shot
12:37 moving and a bleed together
12:39 bleed in the middle of a cascade of octaves
13:53 bleed to overhead.

@@catherinetypist2371same but I use pedal reference though theres no live recording of tozer 😢
Beautiful playing... but on a Yamaha? :( You and this music deserve to be playing/played on a better instrument
MrQwerty88 apparently richter did not know anything about good instruments
