Cette pièce est admirable. Un chef d'œuvre absolu... Délicieusement aquatique par endroits ; en l'écoutant, je suis comme jeté dans un éclat d'échos... Merci énormément ! ; )
This is probably the first time in a while that 16 minutes actually felt like 4 minutes for me, listening to music. I was so into the music the whole time, that by the time the music stopped I thought it was the end of the 1st movement -- until I saw the ending cards.
Awesome description, Benny! The same effect happens to me whenever I listen to Debussy/Ravel.. it's just so surprising, and then I rewind the video to listen to again and it feels longer. XD
This has to be one of the best pieces for two pianos since the golden period of Rachmaninov and Ravel. The pianists have to be metronomically disciplined; but when it comes off, it’s a stunning effect throughout its length.
The beginning inspired me to write a piece similar to it, that kept the feeling of the first few bars: legato, interlocking rhythms, where every note fits with every note in a chord.
Just stunning - freedom and joy. Scintillating rhythms and illuminating clusters of repeated chords. Beautifully timed interjections and changes of atmospheres. Love it.
Don't like 'piano only' works...normally; however, this has brought a bit of 'light' to an infernally dull Midsummer's Day in England. Now, if only you could teach me to follow the score....!
Thank you for posting this excellent work with score to fully appreciate the skill and careful preparation required by the two pianists. It has a lot of variation for a one timbre composition in terms of thematic variation and contrast. Showy yet sometimes cerebral and spiritual. A great way to start the day!!! Beautiful work.
@@Whatismusic123 You get emotional watching a movie? *YOU DELUSIONAL BASTARD* The movie is a fiction, nothing is happening that actually affects your life. But wait, do you really think you are even touching a loved one when you hug him/her? Delusional! Atoms don't really touch each other, is an illusion! What's music, you ask? Music is you, the one who has the answers.
@@albertomartin4812 not once did I state that emotions have no purpose. Obviously you would feel emotions watching a movie, because a movie is reflective of reality. It's not like the emotions someone *might* feel when hugging a loved one exist out of some divine existence, they are a biological tool to understand importance.
Have loved this song since I first heard in Call Me By Your Name. But sadly Apple Music has removed this piece (along with several others) from the official soundtrack :( More than half of the soundtrack is no longer available on Apple Music.
As a pianist I enjoy this piece immensely, but I would not want to play it. One false step, one added or subtracted rest and you're out of sync - and good luck getting back!
@@raffaeledelpizzo8069 but china gates and phrygian gates are written with a key, even if they change a lot. also it’s not “atonal” in the slightest, so it doesn’t make sense.
@@BarryWaterlow John Adams? CZcams! I get a lot of youtube recommendations like this one. I think the first one I was exposed to was his opera The Death of Klinghoffer. Then Hallelujah Junction via the film Call Me By Your Name.
Just like Bach. He didn't invent fugues and counterpoint, he just gave it its highest zenith. Great innovators who don't know how to achieve the full potential of their new discoveries are vital too, but getting there first isn't everything.
Annoyance. No exploration of low and high register of the instrument. All is within 6 octaves. Not possible to perform life. The recording is fake. So sad. Annoyance first degree.
I understand your points, we all have different points of view. Although there are live performances of the piece, it seems very impossible but isn't haha! Saludos amigo.
what do you mean impossible to perform live? it totally is possible. and it’s a very cool experience to watch, because the pianists have to be communicating sooo well with each other!
Whenever you hear this, it's a great day to be alive.
Whenever I get gas at Hallelujah Junction, I look for John Adams...the closest I get is Sam Adams and lottery tickets
I’m turning the pages for a famous pianist on this one tonight. 😬
At age 81, I marvel to hear a masterpiece like this. It is humbling to know that genius continues to shine thru our new composers. WOW ~
Heh, it’s funny that you say that because John Adams is 77...he's been composing for 50 years
Without the awesome movie Call me by your name, I would never dicsovered this wonderful piece of art.
Watch the Italian movie "I am Love" which uses nothing but Adams music. You will love it.
X2💚🤍❤️🍑✡️
I really started the movie and I was like .. wait a minute I know that god damn music
That's a shame.
Same here!
Cette pièce est admirable.
Un chef d'œuvre absolu...
Délicieusement aquatique

1:44 this time stamp is truly my favorite part of this piece.. it’s also the funnest to play 🤗

definitely one of the best, but you forget Lutoslawski's Variations on a Theme by Paganini
Yes! That is an amazing piece too!
What a moment--- I feel so much of my America
i've literally been thinking about this piece all week and just had to hear it again after looking at it in composition seminar

12:38 was such a beautiful surprise!
the second movement is truly something heart-wrenching
Meraviglioso. Quanta luce, nei pezzi di Adams!
Major challenge for the pianists!

So beautiful and magical
Espectacular y fantastico que maravilla infinitas felicidades!!!!
Love the energy in the work
Thank you so much for this labor of love -- with score!
I love this piece...
Beyond Wow...A happy sign of continuing Genius !
How the hell do you not hear the other piano for 16 minutes? How do pianists play this decently? As a pianist I need to know
ACTUALLY I DONT GET IT
Sublime
3rd part gives me some kinda reminiscences of Holt’s Canto Ostinato 👀😁
Like this piece! brilliant 👏 👏
the chords at 11:23 and onwards make me feel a feeling i've never felt before
you're delusional, you are creating the feeling, the chords aren't making you feel anything.

Brutal
Beautiful
Fantastic stuff

Very interestink...

It‘s really no(!) song! It’s a piece. OK?
quite good...
very good... especially 3rd mvt...

Helium …
why he didnt write the beginning section in Ab major? much easier to read
I think he wanted it to be atonal.

the mine in nevada?
*Was Indonesian gamelan music the inspiration for this?*
I definitely hear elements of it esp in the 3rd mvt!
@@hamzahalasadulloh7779 How did you get interested in his music?
@@BarryWaterlow John Adams? CZcams! I get a lot of youtube recommendations like this one. I think the first one I was exposed to was his opera The Death of Klinghoffer. Then Hallelujah Junction via the film Call Me By Your Name.
There were many, but it is certainly one of the strongest.
El es mi pana
Wow :[]

you must have to really know where your fingers are going so you can focus on the rhythm!
How many ways can you write the same chord?
Tooooooo Difficult!!!!!
Adams arrived rather late to the minimalist party.
But he was quite good at it, wasn't it?
@@userziocaro Yes he was. And to his credit he went well beyond it.
@@victorgrauer5834 absolutely. He pushed it to another level
Just like Bach. He didn't invent fugues and counterpoint, he just gave it its highest zenith. Great innovators who don't know how to achieve the full potential of their new discoveries are vital too, but getting there first isn't everything.
Is it even minimalism?

Bro are you good??

@@Zavendea why you all answer to me, as if i made that comment about the impossibility to play. I just gave a link to show the opposite!
