In my mind, this sounds like water, dripping inside a quiet cave and flowing slowly. The small fluxes are join to form a large and turbulent torrent. After that, loses energy until form a placid lake inside the erth. Wonderful.
First heard this en route to the Bluff Trail along the Pacific coast near Los Osos, CA. Due to some construction on the road, we had to stop, as it happened, in the midst of a eucalyptus forest. As the morning sun streaked through the forest, I noticed a profusion of monarch butterflies flitting among the trees. Glass's piece made it truly magical, a moment of sheer delight.
This is my favourite tempo for this piece. Don't like all the quick tempo versions. There is a waking up on a cool morning feel to the piece that just makes its own sense of things. Has the essence of what Glass does better than anybody else... finding the pith of things and exploring a feeling with a key progression. Lovely performance. You should set up a couple of nice mics over the harp of the piano and have an engineer get the beefy bottom of the piano [you get to feel it while playing but it would be great to have it wash out of the speakers the way you feel it while playing] :-) Well done.
Even though it might be a little bit "repetitive" I find it quite relaxing and I kind of dig the minimalistic approach that Philip Glass offers us in his music. Great performance btw
It's very interesting because it's not repetitive in a sense that it becomes gradually dull. It's repetitive but still feels very engaging to hear, and that's what I like about this composition
Etude's purpose is to help the student drill and learn a particular technique. As a result, they tend to be repetitive. Some composers, such as Liszt and Chopin, wrote etudes of such complexity and beauty that they are performed in concerts.
Heard this on NPR tonight, and I almost stopped focusing on the road, because it truly transported out of this world for a moment. So mesmerizing!!! :D
So beautiful. Reminds me of Beethoven's Sonata Quasi una Fantasia, except for all tempo and key changes. I can't go easily from triplets to whatever Glass does, but it is so beautiful.
Here thanks to a Gustav Klimt sound and light show in Paris. Thanks for this beautiful interpretation ! Somehow it reminds me of Inside Out's original soundtrack.
Heard this last night on our classical radio station. Recognized the theme from one of my favorite Glass albums, "Aguas da Amazonia," with the group Uakti. Worth looking for.
This piece reminds me of the movies "her" and "all the bright places" for some reason this piece makes me feel a bit lonely, I just imagine myself in a island lost just the sun hitting my face, where I am peaceful and happy, this piece is truly beautiful
I have a Spotify playlist called “falling in love with someone in another country” I have a lot of songs on there with that same vibe of this one check it out
I suggested to derision that GLASS's music would be great for samples or music beds for rap or hip hop music. What's called classical will die before me with that attitude. The BOWIE symphonies will receive deserved attention well into the current century. A HIP HOP opera by GLASS or another composer might be greeted similarly.
I loved this piece of music by Glass until you pointed this out. But thanks for doing so - I've now had a listen to Skorik's partita (written in 1975), it's too close for comfort and I am disappointed.

Beauty, and always beauty....

Glass is a genius!!!!
This feels like walking on a field of tall grass while the wind hit my face in a gentle but violent way, love it. Thank you so much!!

Best moment of the day … listening to this piece - good vibes! 🧡

Absolutely. I love this tempo!!
still slower version today @ Glass official facebook page (y)
The most meaningful tempo for this piece indeed
I think you're thinking of Echorus which is this tempo or slower. Philip Glass himself recorded this piece at the faster pace.
David Dight yeah Glass plays it faster with more rubato.
Love this music !❤️💖🤎💗🧡💜💙🫶🏻
Great performance. The only thing I didn't like was the ONE TIME it went to a picture of the birds flying. I really enjoyed watching your hands.

+TheMathDieu A little bit?) It's extremely repetitive music. But somehow the more I play, the more I like it. Glass is addictive.

yes with the tree of life, that was wonderful, very beautiful light show...
Genius!!!
this song makes me think of my love, Rhiannon. I love you.
Superb!!!
Very beautiful ❤
Beautifully performed. This haunted piece gives me an impression of Bach's C-dur prelude from through the looking glass
Very nice interpretation! I love the added touch with the flock of birds clips.

Agree, it's a wonderful album!
do you know at which point this piece occurs in the album?
found it :) (watch?v=gnKkxzd5aYs&list=PLgBz3exxTJyChyuqiHOA9sBp-ymkjWan6&index=16)
Amazing !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
@@coversart non non merci à vous de retranscrire en finesse et expression ce morceau de Philippe Glass
I am working on the Philip glass etudes now. They always calm me down.
Lala Rose how are they going?
Do you or anyone maybe anyone else have the sheet music for etude no. 2?
@@mosjosb Since Glass is still alive pretty much the only place you cant get the sheets is by buying them.
This piece reminds me of the movies "her" and "all the bright places" for some reason this piece makes me feel a bit lonely, I just imagine myself in a island lost just the sun hitting my face, where I am peaceful and happy, this piece is truly beautiful
You described exactly how I feel about this song as well. Almost feels like a song I would listen to before I die, feeling content about my life
Yesss, I get a lot of imagery from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind when I listen to this piece
Thank you.
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Massa!!@
I wept the first time I heard this and have listened to it many times since.
Perhaps the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard, even if neither Bach not Schubert wrote it.
Amazing. Thank you for this
beaultiful! congratz✨✨
This is amazing.
Should release as a single.
hello fellow grade 10 student, andito ka kasi AYAW MAG ACADEMIC FREEZE NG DEPED
putang ina
The original tempo of Glass is higher than this, but this version is very enjoyable
Thank you! Did he perform his etudes? I didn't know. But in any case, I prefer not to listen to his music in his own interpretation..
Yeah, there is a video of him playing this Etude No. 2. (watch?v=OQTpDWSrxTg). Anyways, I also prefer your version, it is what this piece deserves!
Beautiful playing.
A bas la baianalia!!!!!!!
Can someone recommend more songs that have similar vibe like this one? Its gloom and beautiful.
I have a Spotify playlist called “falling in love with someone in another country” I have a lot of songs on there with that same vibe of this one check it out
@@edb8294 its amazing playlist! thanks
@@fumioferguson7634 thanks! it’s a vibe
Almost all of Philip Glass’ music is like this
I can't find your Playlist, do you still have it?
Not bad . Glass himself plays it with a bit more rubato.
the beginning melody is kind of similar to Night Lovell's Off Air. It's Rap genre btw
I suggested to derision that GLASS's music would be great for samples or music beds for rap or hip hop music. What's called classical will die before me with that attitude.
The BOWIE symphonies will receive deserved attention well into the current century. A HIP HOP opera by GLASS or another composer might be greeted similarly.
Grade 10 galaw² HAHAHAHAHA
...
ano ba kasi answer nito😞
Amazing
Reminds me of Skorik's Partita no 5
That's because Skorik wrote it.
Check out the Partita No.5 by Skorik. Somebody has been a naughty boy.
I loved this piece of music by Glass until you pointed this out. But thanks for doing so - I've now had a listen to Skorik's partita (written in 1975), it's too close for comfort and I am disappointed.
Que dirrai-je???
Underrated
great!
ibg 2 so true so relaxing
SHOUT OUT SA GRADE 10 CLASS SILANG NABUANG NAMI DIRI....I NEED ANSWERS TO THE ELEMTS USED BY PHILIP GLASS HUHUUHHH
Ano po elements? Huhuhu :-/
Fire
Elementzzzz daw choyyy
yawa jud ang dep ed ba
hi lodi bisaya sad diay ka?
Magistrale....
So true
mm tasty
Gerald’s Game
Is there a tutorial for this song?
What is this an etude for? As in what is it meant to train?
Tone control and also how to make a repetitive piece interesting! I've been trying to work it out as am playing it for an exam!
A beautiful piece, but why does it sound so much like Skorik's Partita No' 5? Please can someone let me know why...
I have no idea why. But we can speculate)
Gibt es irgendwo eine Beziehung zur Mondscheinsonate des Beethoven ?
ANSWEEERRRRRRR PLSS AHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAAHHAAH

Reddit.
Aye
Very nice but you should identify the pianist.
This is the pianist's youtube channel : ) I'm sure his name is somewhere on his page
Your piano is out of tune in the bass section :(
Not just in the bass section !
Hmmm
There is too much rubato for my taste, I prefer Vikingur Ólafsson.
