If you are not playing, which you aren't, in a cantabile style, then you are not playing in a manner that Bach himself held above every other consideration as the purpose for composing the Inventions, It is clear that you never bothered to read the preface to the Inventions. Here is a further description of how Bach played is own music. This comment comes from a letter written in April 12, 1840 written by a student of Nickolas Forkel (who was himself a student of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach the son and student of JS Bach) named Friedrich Griepenkerl (himself famous for being the first person to publish the complete collected organ works of JS Bach. Quoting from this important letter: "Bach himself, his sons, and Forkel played the masterpieces with such a profound declamation that they sounded like polyphonic songs sung by individual great Artist singers. Thereby, all means of good singing were brought into use. No Cercare, No Portamento was missing, even breathing was in all the right places. Bach's music wants to be sung with the maximum of art". Of course we have Bach suggesting in the preface of the inventions that above all to inculcate a "cantabile" style of playing. Imagine if you can how much more beautiful and touching this performance would have been had you both sung your parts like individual great artist singers, both expressing the affects of the individual voices independent of the other?
@@keithhill9901 I entirely agree that many of the Inventions (and Little Preludes, and Sinfonias, etc.) truly demand a cantabile touch. You might watch some of my videos on these (the Little preludes, especially, but also Inventions 2 and 9, in which I advocate a singing touch as passionately as you do! However, like every other instrument, the harpsichord and the piano allow a great variety of touches, sounds and articulations. The C Major Invention, in my opinion, benefits from a bright crisp sound and a sprightly character!
This could be interesting if one were able to understand what the instructor were saying with all that annoying background noise.
Merci beaucoup.
Thank you for making this series. I am an intermediate pianist making my way through this Album (on my own - without a teacher), and I found these very helpful in making sure I'm attending to the "right" things when working through this. I am on Winter Morning right now (just 3 days in or so).
Thank you!
Beautiful playing. Lovely touch. Excellent phrasing! This gives me goose-bumps!! A pleasure to listen to . . . 😊
beautiful playing. i want to be this good!
WOW! This was so enjoyable. I love Bach.
İ think it "anyway'
I love the late intermezzi of Brahms. Superb piano playing, how hypnotizing and relaxing.
👏🏻👏🏾👏👏🏻 very nice!
Lovely 🎉
That is hauntingly beautiful.
Love these Keep it going!!!
Interesting
Love your playing and choice of music
Bravo, Svetlana. This is a lovely mazurka and a fresh and beautiful version you recorded.
Lively and Beautifully Played! Love Chopin and with a Performance like this I am encouraged to seek out this Pianists other Performances!
Bravo!
Beautiful
That is what it's supposed to sound like!!! I need to get started on this.
Did she say the first one was the easiest one?
I think the first one is actually quite difficult!! The easiest one, in my opinion, is number 8!
@@SvetlanaBelsky ok thanks. I really like Em and Am better.
@@user-qt8kh7fs6j each one is a gem. It is like choosing your favorite child!
R u familiar with this autograph of Bach Re his involvement with Piano et forte? 03d38c9.netsolhost.com/images/1A_exhibit_2_4SalesReciept_4Pianoetforte_pdf.pdf
Bach was very involved with emerging hammer clavier Piano et forte But this info had been deliberately under-publicized czcams.com/video/wtgdEN7Qq-0/video.htmlsi=4MeXr1P1S7tTfJzB
I remember the first time I heard this piece in abravanel hall. It pulled me from peak romantic era into a love for the early modern.
This video has a lot of insights. I really appreciate it, as I just started practicing these wonderful pieces. Thank you!
Thanks so much, Olga, for this inspirational performance!
Auf dem Wasser zu singen Franz Schubert
Beautifully done 👏
I love this. I am so glad I came upon your channel.
I was just assigned The French Song #16, and found all your tutorials on this set of songs. Thank you for doing this. Just a technical comment, the audio so far on your videos is quite low for the voice, and best heard with earphones.
Very Beautiful!
Excellent interpretation can really feel the atmosphere of Brahms intent
Lovely! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Your teaching and explanation inspired me to teach my pupil to play this piece of music musically !
Gorgeous playing, Svetlana!
Great Video !! Thank You !!
Did Bach invent the invention?
Interestingly, the term "inventio" comes from the writings of Cicero, the Roman orator, and refers to the process of elaborating on a statement. This is precisely what Bach does with the subjects in these works. I am unaware of anyone before him writing "inventions"
@@SvetlanaBelsky Thank you, Svetlana! 😁
You are great teacher❤
Lovely. In his autobiography Arthur Rubinstein rates Szymanowski highly. This feels Romantic period for an early 20th century composer.
amazing content
Working on this now. Very helpful. Thanks so much for posting.
"🎹♥️⚘️Wow what a lesson!! Filled with so much insight. This definitely adds the missing dimension of Tone with a Soul to my playing"
Intriguing. Fanny was a real talent. Whilst not exactly an underrated female composer may I request Gershwin's Cuban overture for 4 hands?
Love this ❤
This is very touching!
Thanks Svetlana, I love your tutorials…very helpful!
❤
That is amazing! Wonderful performance, Svetlana! Bravo!👏❤️🎹💥
Very helpful…thanks!
