      Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "who is the best jazz pianist today?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Poneyton Introductory Preeminence - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a good one off product for discovering how to master the piano minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my co-worker got excellent results with it.

    I have seen Vladimir Horowitz perform many times during my lifetime. I can tell you that Mr. Horowitz was exceptionally pleased with his own performance of Chopin's Opus No. 53 here. Whenever Mr. Horowitz has a solemn expression during a performance but, after the close, exhales his breath, in almost an exaggerated manner, and then smiles, that's a classic "tell" that he was satisfied that he gave his best possible performance.

      My college piano teacher retaught me the flat fingered finger technique favored among many Eastern European pianists and I do believe it allows you to have a much more tonally variable performance and has other aspects in which it trumps the common style. The curved finger approach in my opinion is really suited more for women and children and probably is only so much more dominant because women and children are a bigger part historically of the market for music lessons.

      It’s a feature of Russian technique, the key is struck with the fleshier part of the finger away from the tip and the wrist carries the movement through to full depression of the key, seems to work for Mr H, even in old age he could produce clarity, complexity and weight of tone which was nothing short of magnificent, and all achieved with apparent economy of movement and gesture.

    I was able to play it in its entirety a couple of times but boy, did it absolutely kill my hands, arms, neck and upper back.

    Perfection. Love the mountains of sounds Horowitz could create along with his spontaneity and bold manner. This is playing cultivated in an era when music and artistic individuality truly mattered. Note his subtle and artful use of legato. If you haven’t yet noticed, this is a long lost art. Barely anyone can do that any longer and when they try the results are so obvious and in your face that they are jarring and unmusical. In other words, if you can’t do it and do it very well, please don’t.

    • @tryinganna9883
      @tryinganna9883 Před 2 lety +7

      Piano ability is rarely lost in age especially when one plays to become a virtuoso like Horowitz. Since piano technique is based on relaxation during the pianissimo he lets the curve on his fingers half collapse which takes incredible finger independence and strength since a half collapsed finger which is good technique as it limits the amount of finger strength placed upon the note adding dynamics which gives the pianissimo its beautiful sombre quietness he’s a piano genius

    Wow! Amazing how fluently he can still play it at his age. I love Chopins Polonaise. I remember when I was 3 sitting in a big leather chair listening to my much older brother play this. And hundreds of times since. Sadly he passed away at age 86 recently. I noticed at his home, Chopins Polonaise was the music on his baby grand.
