  • Hard to put this one into words... everything you hoped it would be, Zimerman giving a masterclass on Chopin Ballade #1 in G Minor Op. 23, Schumann Fantasiestücke Op. 12, and Chopin Scherzo in Bb minor Op. 31. A glimpse into the mind of maestro Zimerman's ethos of musicianship and his process of creating a memorable performance.

    I absolutely love Zimerman's teaching style. He's very nice, patient, and somewhat reminds of Bob Ross in how relaxed he is.

    Zimerman's discussion (27:00) of the interaction between artist and audience in a live setting, his references to body language, to an exchange of energy -- and the differences with a studio recording experience -- is very, very interesting, something music lovers do not always get to hear from such a accomplished musician. Thanks a million for sharing this footage.

      I think it was Argerich who once said that there is no in between with Schumann. If you play him well, then you are absolutely in love with the music, whether you know it or not... on the other hand, then you must hate it (once again, whether you know it or not).
      I forget the full statement she made, but it finally made sense to me why I've never been able to "get over" Schumann's music. Even his late, and arguably inferior work, is so intimate to me. So I think Zimerman stated what is clear - she loves the music; has an intimate relationship with it.

    Zimerman hits the nail on its head. Loved his invitation to "improvise" the beginning of the Ballade and his exhortation to feel and play the tension between unresolved chords. Brilliant advice. Comes to show that, at the end of the day, we don't really want to hear the printed notes (nor every triplet, etc) but what lies behind the notes. Easier said than done but so few do it.

    • @wolfgangk1

I have thought proudly that this my spontaneous idea of explaining basics about support in fingers and weight distribution was a really original one. What a disappointment to find out, that this crazy genius did that 26 years ago already lol 🤣

    When Mr Zimerman talked of improvising at the start, to feel for it, I understood it as allowing your spirit to infuse the piece. And then he goes on to suggest that the rewards of playing to the audience, is two way and to be open to that flow. A different way to think is perhaps to move into the music, feel it and express it. Sound life advice as well! What gifts all these people have--maestro and students. Beautiful, all of them.

    35:30 - the “hanging the whole weight” may be rather a risky idea. A few months ago, I was contacted by a young pianist who overdid it and was suffering from acute tendonitis of the supinator muscle. Without much experience, he had been working all by himself, with Neuhaus’ book instead of a teacher and followed it too literally…

    Actually, before anything else, the first young man had technical problems with the "Ballade". As far as the interpretation, a great master can try to put it in words, but the pupil needs to reach his own apprehension of the piece, and that may take years, as Zimerman noted. That capacity of apprehension and rendition is what distinguishes performers, and makes good, bad, less good, or exceptional musicians. Musical talent is quantifiable after all; eventually, the audience and critics filter the values in and out and put every musical performer in his or her right place.
    Zimmerman is such a simple, kind, and dignified man!
