5 Minutes On... Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 7 (D major) | Daniel Barenboim [subtitulado]

Daniel Barenboim | 5 Minutes On... Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 7 (D major)

►The new album "On My New Piano":

Barenboim was inspired to create a new piano after playing Franz Liszt’s restored grand piano during a trip to Siena in September 2011. Struck by the vital differences in sound of an instrument constructed with straight, parallel strings rather than the diagonal crossed ones of a contemporary instrument, he set out to create a brand new instrument that combines the best of the old and the new and offers a real alternative for pianists and music-lovers in the 21st century.

This is the most endearing of all your 5 minute videos. All people should be aware of this idea that talking about music is talking about ourselves. I'm really grateful for hearing in words what I have sensed all my life.

"Music can really only be explained through sound." ❤️

To be so old, and have such articulate fire come from his fingers, that’s why I’m loving these!

[paulogazola]

Again, so few words, with such a relevant content. It's that type of content that is rare and glorious to find. Thank you again, maestro! You're an inspiration for us all. A welcome new breath in music interpretation.

I am pretty new to classical music, but I am mesmerized by your playing and want to hear more. I stumbled on this chat and felt a great relief to think I don't need to worry about interpreting it "correctly", rather, I can simply enjoy it. Thank you for sharing.

The finest music is indeed something I cannot put into words. Beethoven's 6th Symphony is one such work for me. In the final movement there is a short clarinet duet, merely a handful of notes, but it is something indescribably beautiful to my ear. I can speak with gushing praise about the playing, the orchestration or the conducting. However to say how this short phrase brings me to the brink of tears every single time, to say why it does this, is an impossibility. It is an illustration of complete beauty, perfection, and for me to have experienced that listening pleasure remains a privilege I feel I have never earned. Music does this.

Thank you very much for sharing your musical mastery. It´s always a pleasure to watch your videos.

Mr Barenboim you are a genius
Your musicianship is amazing

[farouk]

Thank you Maestro! We are blessed to hear your thoughts on such beautiful music.

[grizzlymartin]

When I want the best, my most rich, impression of a piece for my sensibilities, I immediately search to see if there is a Barenboim version. If there is, I am NEVER ever disappointed. Your "touch" is my north star even though I am merely a middle-aged beginner. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music/gift.

[galinabudko]

Daniel, I am grateful to you for the excellent talk. The best to you! Thanks a lot

[hughdanger]

Please do a video on the Pathetique Sonata. I am working on that piece and would love to have some expert advice. Please do all movements and make the video longer than five minutes, five minutes is not enough time to go through the whole sonata. Thank you!!! 😀😀😀

[UsedHeartuser]

Maestro Barenboim, many thanks for these great videos! But don't you think that 5 min ist just too little time for such rich and complex pieces? I know you can't lecture for 3 hours, but even an increase to 10 or 15 min would give the audience a much greater opportunity to understand and appreciate these great masterpieces. Thank you very much!

[tanyapyshnov]

I really enjoyed your 5 minutes series. Thank you Mr. Barenboim. I wish there were more.

[katherineroche]

Thank you for this wonderful example of how the performer's conception of the music informs the listener. That is why one can listen to the same sonata played by several different artists and be touched in as many different ways!

[henrih]

The Sound of the Barenboim Piano is really good and interesting !

[seongtaek]

Ah the 'Barenboim' piano sounds fantastic..

[bkkershner]

Brief but informative thoughts on this work by one of the great living masters of the profession. I was particularly heartened to hear it said that a composer's music does not necessarily have anything to do with what their lives confront them with at that time. I teach this all the time in my classes at the university. Glad to have it said here!

[LetsPlayPianoMethods]

Wonderful thoughts. It reinforces that music cannot be tied down. It is felt and interpreted differently by different people, yet never loses its value.

[LauraKamienski]

Maestro, There are no words to express how deeply your playing has touched my soul. I recently discovered you as part of the journey I'm on grieving for the loss of my Father. Since his passing I've come back to playing piano and was searching examples of the pieces I'm working on. When I came across your videos I was left breathless and speechless, which positioned me entirely transfixed and absorbed in listening. In any case, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for giving me these precious gifts. Little did I know when I heard you play that your are also a truly master at writing and philosophy. I was a philosophy graduate, focusing in political philosophy. I have since devoured your books, and again thank you for the mentorship and inspiration. I feel that you embody the essence of profundity. I truly hope, now one of my greatest wishes, it to have the opportunity to hear you play in person, and also to speak with you if possible.
