On a Chopin favorite, the Ballade No. 1 in g minor...
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.

Interesting choice of opening music for 5 minutes on Chopin.
I was thinking exactly the same thing ^^, "I'm pretty sure this is the first movement of Moonlight by Beethoven..."
Yes I laughed at that. Chopin was not keen on Beethoven's music (he thought some of was ugly). I'm sure DB had nothing to do with title music choice though.@@ArsyxGaming
@@p1anosteve How do you know chopin felt that way?
Read "Chopin Prince of Romantics" by Adam Zamoyski. It's a thoroughly researched and really engaging bio.@@AWWYEAHHHHHH
p1anosteve thank you for the recommendation. I just got into classical music last year and Chopin has become my favorite composer so I’ll look into that
Welcome to Chopin *plays Beethoven*
Lol I just thought the same thing.
Wasn't going to post anything'bout , but.
I like to keep in mind the greatness of his music knowledge, his huge-musical undertanding, so you can let he show you the compositor's intentions, instead of mark you the thecnical path to follow.
Thought the same
Yeah I exploded in Laughs when i read your comment HAAHAHAHAHAh
According to listeners at the time, Chopin was an excellent interrupter of Beethoven. Can you imagine Chopin playing Beethoven?
Completely diferent. Other brain wave, diferent sentiment, diferent music. Both wonderful but so - not the same.
Please, make it at least 10 minutes. It is very interesting. Thank you.
5 minutes is perfect for a larger audience, I think, it is a (lone) coffee break. Besides, there is not much more what you can say in ten minutes.
Anyway, this series is fantastic.
We want more more more.... what about twice a week. and also more about deconstruction rytm harmoni and melodi etc. more more more more .More more m o r e and I could be More Often .
I have been thinking about deconstruction: melodi rytm, rytm harmoni,(harmoni melodi ) all week, to understand it, and I want more more more m o r e, more more.. More Often. My suggestion is it could be More often... But beautiful 5 minutes...... 60 minuts... ha ha ha .
There is masterclass and so on to see, but this is something s p e c i a l.
First of all. I love your new piano. It sounds incredible. I hear exactly what you are talking about. It's alive with sound. I would love to hear you play my favorite song Chopin Raindrop prelude.

Dear maestro, 5 minutes is way too limited for this grand promenade
I fully agree with you, my friend. This piece has so much content within its score that it deserves more analysis by grand maestro Barenboim!
I would also suggest to let away the opening part, not least because of the poor wonderful Moonlight sonata movement that in the long run will be worn out.
I would definitely watch it if he makes an hour about this piece and go through every/most detail.
Pengyi Gu agreed. The harmonics, the shift in keys and resolutions, tonal shifts and colorations, his phrasing - all fascinate the listener. This is Chopin’s magic and romance for me. Only if maestro would give us a peek into Chopin’s charm and magic ....
He only superficially described what one clearly hears. No insight whatsoever.
We need more! 5 minutes is far too little when talking about such grande pieces in the classical repertoire. Please make these 10 minutes.
152 likes and you talk like that to Daniel Barenboim wow
10 mins is too short. Please make these 100 hours 😂
The piano sound is already enough to make my heart feel the beauty of the song
True
Why does a chopin ballade video have Beethoven's moonlight sonata at the start??
It's his intro
??
Bad producer?
Rakesh Krishna this is as introduction
@@zvezdinki7998 cool!
Surely there is more the maestro could tell us about this piece. The 5 minute format is far too limited.
Bill Frank perhaps... If it were a Beethoven sonata
But even in five minutes he said nothing.
@@serteres32 check out my comment I will adding more notes
Several years late, but I've enjoyed watching this series of bitesized lectures.
I’ve seen a lot of your comments on videos about this ballade :D
Yeah same🤔
Hey Luke. I have seen you i the comments of many ballade 1 videos. I think this is a really special piece for you. Atleast for me it is
@@tiemensikma2806 for me it's ballade 2
It's amazing that although Mr. Barenboim speaks and plays in front of a camera, the result is a very comfortable, personal communication to the viewer. Bravo!
"Where are we now...?" I love that. Never thought of it that way, thank you for opening my ears sir.
There are many masterclass lecturers and presenters. So many of them talented and well worth of the cost of paying attention to what they have to say.
You can have them. I'll take Daniel Barenboim's commentaries every single time.
Maestro Barenboim will bring a tear to your eye when he plays the piano. He also conducted Itzhak Perlman's Beethoven Violin Concerto in a performance that has yet to be surpassed. DB is a musical genius.
What an amazing pianist Daniel Barenboim is A true Maestro His Interpretational Skills are phenomenal!! The G Minor Ballade is one of Chopin's Greatest Works Sad that this wonderful video was only 5 minutes long!!
Even the great, great Daniel Barenboim is comminicating through youtube. It is very touching. What a gift of technology!
This is a gift . A light gift . All of you people asking for more ned to do your homework . Doou know how many books the are on Chopin . How many on his music . How many on his harmony and piano notation ? This music is over 150 years old . Don't be lazy , misguided or informed . This is a gift from a world -amous musician it is not meant to take the place of analysis or even a programme note . Charles Rosen's Romantib Era is a good place to start !
Daniel, I love how you play this ballade with precision and expression, and with just the right pinch of rubato.
I first encountered Daniel Barenboim at the Tel Aviv Mann Hall when he conducted the Israel Philharmonic in Mozart, playing and conducting a piano concerto, which amazed me at 20 (I was 20, he was 28), a young and compelling man, married to Jacqueline du Pre. It was 1972, before the tragic turn their lives took. He then conducted my chorus in the Mozart Requiem. I remember him vividly the first time I saw him play piano and conduct from the piano. How time has transformed him, and me, but I love his introduction to this famous Ballade. And then the dramatic finish! Yes, I have enjoyed this short episode of Chopin's Ballade! It brought back such memories. Earliest memories of performance.
Maestro can deconstruct the intricate story weaved within these scores like no other. Every time I watch one of these episodes, something he says about the music is something I've never considered...even on pieces I love and have listened to many times. Such a treat to watch this. I wish they were longer!
I’m so grateful to have found these wonderful videos from one of the greatest living musicians of all time.
I could spend my whole life hearing you playing and explaining what music is 😮🙌🏼 grateful for your generosity
Once again I say this: what a pleasure to be a blessing to share this with Barenboim! Beautiful connection with the music!
Can't believe I hadn't seen these gems before. Thank you!!
Moved to tears, Maestro. Wonderful to hear and to have such a brief window on the process behind these great works. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
I love your way of putting it that a musician performs as if he were improvising, under directions from the composer. This piece, in particular, is so so alive in that way. The form of it is really magnificent, the way Chopin explores the thematic material.
That piano, the notes are at the same time strong, transparent and crystal clear... LIVELY! I've never heard anything like it.
So helpful Mr Barenboim - I could listen to you firstly playing and then talking about music, for ever. You have given so much of yourself giving absolute joy to many, many thousands of people. I can speak with authority as I am one of these beings! I once saw you in my home town of Chichester in West Sussex at the Chichester Festival Theatre where you played the Schumann concerto conducted by none other than Dietrich Fischer-Diskau. I came to the green room after the performance and you and he were very generous with your time and your comments. Thank you Daniel once again.
The last part gets me every time. This is my favourite piece on the piano. Thank you so much!
To understand Chopin balade, those felings into a very strong soul must be alive into. Chopin is amazing composer. Master Barenboin provides that. I dream on studying with him !!
Please do Ballade No. 4, Sir, it would be wonderful.
Dear Daniel; I never realized how filled with affectations your playing really is. Obviously, there's a great difference between sincerity and an imitation of sincerity. Thanks for sharing.
I never knew no.1 was so beautiful.
No.4 has been my favorite.
Your introduction opened my ears and heart,
Thank you so very very much.
Quelle maestria , c est un enchantement , merci monsieur.
Cet homme est extraordinaire ! Avec des mots d'une incroyable simplicité il dit tout, en moins de 5 minutes. Merci Monsieur Baremboim.
Thanks, It's a real pleasure to be accompanied by you. And to discover the music with you!
Thank-you for your time. It's very much appreciated.
Con la humildad y simpleza de los grandes!!!!!! Gracias maestro!!!!!!!!
Muchas gracias Mtro Daniel Barenboim 🌹 cuánto deleite escuchar su piano y enseñanza! Placer🌟👏👏👏
Cuanta generosidad espiritual, hacer estos videos, aun para los que no somos musicos. Gracias.
Thank you!!! Bravissimo!!!!
A sad yet beautiful piece. Definitely one of my favorite chopin pieces
Gracias infinitas señor Baremboin . Un regalo para el alma escucharlo.
He plays this without even having to look, incredible
He breathes music, what would you expect? Barenboim is a truly master
Traumhaft. Danke.
Thank you for this. I only heard the piece today in order to watch this video. These videos can be five hours instead of five minutes and I would be just as eager, if not more so, to watch them. I think I speak for everyone in saying that an upload of you playing the entire ballade would be a treasure.
This is one of my fav vids. Thank you Mr. Barenboim, I can't wait to get good enough to play this piece! Really one of my favorites
Ay, por qué no hay más vídeos de él? Simplemente le admiro demasiado un gran intérprete, gracias por todas tus enseñanzas!!!
On one hand, I also wish he'd make these longer. On the other, that he's setting aside time to do these is remarkable in itself. A noble gift, indeed.
Thanks, I’m very enjoyed to learn how to listen in a very little moment and with no trouble for anything else
Thank you i started watching it every morning
Gracias maestro por sus claras explicaciones para comprender a estos grandes musicos.
I feel that this very straightforward way of talking about big music justifies all the hype that surrounds classical music. I am very happy to relearn why I like Chopin!
I like the way how he explains the music.❤
Thank you very much, yes, on the spot...
Yes i enjoyed... admirable. L'intelligence de M. Barenboim est de donner a la musique une signification concrete accessible a tous. On comprend que l'oeuvre a un sens, mais que ce sens est inaccessible, en quelque sorte "esoterique". Or pour s'elever, on a besoin d'accder a ce sens: merci. Accessoirement, on decouvre que M. Barenboim est aussi un homme de theatre, de telle sorte qu'il apparait la continuite entre la musique et la pensee. Admirable.
Wonderful lesson. The dramatic part of the ballade always makes an impression. Have listen to Chopin since i was 12 years old, now i am 70. Thank you! Victor Vidovic even plays it on classical guitar, Quite interesting how love of Chopin´s music can influence a guitarist. If you don´t play the piano, you must play it on the guitar and express your love of the music.
Utter perfection! If it were up to me, I could listen an hour of this or more really. Thank you for teaching!
Absolutely outstanding.
Yes.. Chopin. Countless of hours of frustration at his work desk trying to get every single note precise in order to create the illusion of the improvisation. A genius. I put him in the very first alongside with C. V. Alkan. Thank you for these series.
Indeed! It was enjoyable. Thank you very much!
Quelle belle inspiration ! Quel talent ! 🙏
This piece is all about nostalgia, a typical "non ti scordar di me" like the mad scenes in the Bel Canto operas.
Thank you sir, it is gracious of you to spend the time with us. I have often wondered how well the instruments of the day stood up to the demands of these musicians especially the complex piano. Wouldn’t they have so loved the instruments we have today. Maybe that could be a subject of future discussion
An enormous treat, for so many reasons. Wonderful insight into an extraordinary piece, plus you bring us close to who you are as a musician and person, and that is very meaningful to us.
Enjoyed this immensely and learned how to play it better myself. Thank you for doing this.
Wow, thank you so much for this. Particularly loved your insight into the "search" throughout the introduction.
Gracias Daniel por todos tus conocimientos !!!
Thank you its a glorious work that never fails to seem fresh.
Gracias maestro. Qué sonido, qué maravilla, qué grande es usted!
Simply wonderful!
Excellent.
Thank you.
Fantastic Maestro.. all your music lectures are so very good. Thank you.
Excelente explicación llena de sentimiento y emoción. Muchísimas gracias maestro 🙏🏼👋🏼
The introduction is a way of giving the impression the composer is looking for what he wants - blew my mind!
Thank you very much for explaining the introduction part. Now I know why it is there, not just happened to be there
but it was placed with a purpose. After I knew these things, I can enjoy this great piece much better than before.
I thank my parents who sent me to learn violin when I was small despite difficult situation and after many years
I still enjoy music more and more. It is great to know you, thanks to one lady who said she think you are the best!
Bravo! Maestro!!!
Thank you, Maestro.
Thank you for sharing with us
Thank you Maestro!! gran clase!!!!
Thank you, Maestro! I love these 5 minuted analysis videos! Please keep them coming!
5 minutes is NOt enough for your tremendous talent and for Chopin s pleaaaseee WE wannnnt looongerrr
Outstanding! Great job, thank you very much!!
This is simply fascinating, I want to hear more. Thanks for the insights; they make the notes more memorable.
Great character, brilliant!! Msr. Barenboim. Blessings.
These 5 minute talks are great. Very enlightening. I hope DANiel does some more.
Barenboim ist ein Genie!
I am working on this and was trying to find a genuine way of playing for the introduction. I love how you explain this. I have been inspired by your playing for over 20 years now. I didn't have the internet back then. So thankful that I can learn from you here on youtube now.
I've always considered the 4 Ballades the pinnacle of Chopin's music and the G minor Ballade the pinnacle of the Ballades. And since Chopin is generally considered the greatest composer of piano music, I guess that makes it the greatest composition written for the piano. I play this piece and it's certainly one of my greatest thrills at the piano. In emotionally depth, it's like playing Wagner. Thank you Maestro for all these highly enlightening videos. I love them. Cheers!
Mi pieza favorita! Gracias!
Long live Maestro Barenboim. 120 years:)
Hello, Mr. Barenboim. I would love to see some kind of longer analysis behind the genius of all the four Ballades. These pieces truly have something unique to them.
Absolutely brilliant !!
Enjoyed your scholarly explanation of the intro to this work. This is a compositional technique that I have never considered before.
The bel canto voice really comes out at the joyous middle in this first ballade, and it's my favourite part of the first ballade. I always look forward to playing that A major section at the middle. Chopin was clearly inspired by the operatic voices that he heard during his hey-day.
I always feel like these are too short, but I've realized it's because they make me want to listen to the entire pieces.
Therefore, I think it helps to think of these videos as sophisticated and healthy teasers, for beautiful works that have lived throughout decades and centuries.
My favourite piece!!
I recall with such pleasure hearing you perform all the Beethoven Sonatas in Carnegie Hall. I was an usher in the balcony, and have sung your praises since I first heard you perform. The hall wasn't even full for many of the concerts. (We were young at the time.) Robert Goldsand performed all the sonatas at Carnegie as well.
The gm Ballade 5 minutes hit all the right spots. : introduction, theme, A Major section, Coda.
An entire lesson in 5 minutes. Bravo again!
WOW ! Amazing ideas, sounds. Thank You.
I knew when I saw this, that it was going to be too short, but too precious to miss. And it was both. Thank you, maestro!
A promenade, recounting what you might see on a very interesting walk? OK, I think that works.
But I always thought of a Ballade, especially this one, as a walk through a life - a biography, with triumph and tragedy; all the salient points of that one life.
The Ballade No. 1 in G minor is played in its entirety near the end of the movie, _The Pianist._
It is among the stunning masterpieces of Fréderic Chopin, and it is wonderfully performed in that movie.
Fred
Thank you. Very interesting approach especially for those people who don't know much about classical music.
Master of masters.
