Cortot Plays Chopin Mazurkas with Comments

Recorded during master classes given between 1954 and 1960, Ecole Normale de Musique by Alfred Cortot, founder of the school. Cortot never recorded any of Chopins Mazurkas. Why he did not is a mystery. These off the cuff examples, wrong notes and all, makes one listener sadly realize that we will never hear a recording of the Chopin Mazurkas played by Cortot in his prime. Listening to these examples, leads one to suspect that Cortot was an admirer of the art of singing as was Horowitz, Godowsky and other pianists that we now label as Romantic pianists. COMMENTS Mazurka in G Minor Op 24, No 1 Mazurkas are always special pieces based on a popular rhythm, but still soaked in the spirit of dance. Lento, dont pay attention to the indications, lento is not considered here as a nocturne---Con anima. There is a sort of monotony, a sort of obsession, a remembrance ---This is loaded with regret, you see. Good Mazurka in C Major, Op. 24, No. 2 It says Rubato--- Portando, and here, more sensitive---this lower part. And the end, simply without slowing down too much. Mazurka in B-flat Minor, Op. 24 Tenderly—As if you were gathering speed--- You bring all this, you see, as different silhouettes.--- This is the same theme but a little more empathetic. And then, the end, without slowing down too much---You see, all this expression of regret must come into this. Mazurka in C Minor, Op. 30, No 1 Chopins genius often consists in taking joyful rhythms and transposing them into some ...

Ignaz Friedman: 4 Chopin Mazurkas (vol. 1)

Ignaz Friedman flings his suit jacket into the corner, removes his dress shoes and joins his fellow Poles in the national festivities. Nobody does it better... Friedman danced the mazurka with Polish peasants in his youth, venturing beyond the urban intellectual circles of most classical musicians.

Evgeny Kissin - The gift of music (part 1 of 8)

The rise to fame of young Russian pianist Evgeny Kissin has seldom been equalled in the classical music world. Celebrated film-maker Christopher Nupen\'s film shows Kissin in preparation, interview, rehearsal and in several dazzling performances shot live on stage, in true concert conditions, where this artist is undoubtedly at his best. It contains footage from Kissin\'s memorable BBC Proms concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 1997, the first solo recital in the history of the Proms. It also includes sequences with Kissin\'s mentor from the age of six, Anna Pavlona Kantor, who has become like a member of his family, and remains a guiding friend to this day. The following pieces are played by Evgeny Kissin in this documentary: Liszt - Transcendental Etude No. 10 in F minor Gluck - Orfeo Euridice Beethoven - ecossaise Haydn - Sonata No. 16 in E-flat Major Liszt - Nocturne No. 3 Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12 in C minor Chopin - Nocturne Op. 27 No. 2 Chopin - Sonata No. 3 in B-flat minor Beethoven -- Turkish March Chopin - Grand Waltz in A major Paganini/Liszt -- La Campanella Schubert - Moment Musical in F minor Beethoven - Rondo a Capriccio Chopin - Mazurka in A minor No. 4 Chopin -- Waltz No.14 in E minor

Alfred - Ecossaise (Schubert)

Ecossaise (Franz Schubert) fromAlfred\'s Group Piano for Adults Book 1 Second Edition. This book was recommended to me and helps the student to learn the basics of piano playing. It is difficult to obtain in the UK and so was purchased from Amazon in the USA. I\'ll be uploading the solo repertoires from this book. Ideally it is meant to be used under supervision of a piano teacher as I feel it has a steep learning curve for absolute beginners. You can listen to the midi files on CD that accompany this book to help you with how the examples should be played. This piece is very difficult to play as it is quite quick and has a difficult positional change in the left hand (DF# to DF#C an octave below).

Waltzes, op.9a (Franz Schubert)

Dances \'First Waltzes\' by Franz Schubert (1797-1828)

A waltz, or valse from the French term, is a piece of music in triple meter, most often 3/4 but sometimes 3/8 or 3/2. A waltz has a 1.2.3. - 1.2.3. count and (generally) a slow tempo. Waltzes typically have one chord per measure, with the root of the chord as the first note. the left hand if reffering to the piano would always be in the 1-2-3 as was said earlier but the special name for this is \'oom pa pa\'. Classical composers traditionally supplied music for dancing when required, and Franz Schubert\'s waltzes were written for household dancing, without any pretense at being art music. However, Frédéric Chopin\'s surviving 19 waltzes (five he wrote as a child), along with his mazurkas and polonaises, were clearly not intended to be danced to. They marked the adoption of the waltz and other dance forms as serious composition genres. Other notable contributions to the waltz genre in classical music include 16 by Johannes Brahms (originally for piano duet), and Maurice Ravel\'s Valses nobles et sentimentales for piano and La Valse for orchestra. The waltz style is found in nearly every kind of European and Euro-American folk music and also in classical music. Although waltzes are often associated with the dance of the same name, not all waltzes were composed as dances: some were written for concert performance. The waltz had once held so much importance in European music circles that great waltz composers received the honorary title of Waltz King. The title came with an ...
