    This video captures so many good things about Fleisher the teacher, and Ben - your pragmatic application to his coaching amplifies those good things. You made him think. Wonderful.

    Ugh!!!…I’m simultaneously elated that you had this masterclass and Jealous.
    There is a difference between a Conservatory of music and a University of music. This is a Conservatory of music masterclass.
    “That’s Mr. Beethoven.” I don’t think I’ll ever forget that, either when I come to that section whilst playing it or listening to it.
    What a great and wonderful man and artist.
    He is truly missed.
    Thank you once again Ben!

    12:03 you can also experiment with taking the key, which means, flat finger but sliding inside upon tone production, where the finger goes from flat to being curved! but the energy for curling the finger must come from the whole hand specially the arm. wonder y idiots at music schools dont teach this, its the most basic thing in producing a beautiful singing tone!sliding in for me works in chords but for finger legato I always take the keys. same technique taught by Babajan.

    on the fp. why dont you do the trick of: release chord, play chord again (no sound), remove the pedal. that is forte piano. so you start forte, then you remove the pedal and it becomes piano. i thought every single pianist did this and this is how I learned it and Im no one in particular so I was very surprised to see no one talks about it...

      Yes, Leon Fleisher is downright annoying. Totally disgusting. The student should have walked out after 3 minutes. Fleisher is notorious for narcissism. It shows here.

    I mean no disrespect, but I thunk Ben needs to study easier pieces with a teacher, hopefully on par with Fleisher. So his playing becomes cleaner, more controlled. Then the musicality.

      He went to juilliard and performed rach 2 with orchestra recently so I think he's probably qualified for a Beethoven sonata?

      He didn't seem annoying but too much broscience about the horizontal fingering with some sort of caress on the touche to change the sound xD You just need to open a piano to see what control you have and the moment the key is pressed that's it, hammer is realeased. Still funny.
