Piano Concerto No.2, my favourite ever piece of music and always amazing to play! On Wednesday, I will play the Scherzando of Rach 3 at a school concert, looking forward to it!
It varies by mood, but right now it is Piano Concerto no.2 in C minor, Op.18 movement 2, Adagio Sostenuto. To me it sounds like a Disney soundtrack for love, a gentle, tender, and soulful opening, rising apprehensively into passion and then settling again. I love it so much.
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus. Romans 6:23 John 3:16❤😊❤❤
FINALLY! My favourite! The composer that evoked so many emotions I had never known...thank you. On Wednesday, I will play the Scherzando of Rach 3 at a school concert, looking forward to it!
Thanks! Yep, it is indeed quite difficult, I learned this part for my girlfriend and amongst other things gave her the sheet as our anniversary present, therefore I was motivated enough to learn it :D I am preparing a lot and have a good feeling about it, I think I can play it pretty well since I love Rachmaninoff from the bottom of my heart, especially for his emotionality.
school concert: And today we have Ling Ling performing. Ling Ling plays Ty Ty Ty tyyyyyyyy Ty Ty Ty tyyyyyyyy, audience: wow Xd School concerts is best😂
Fun fact: Rachmaninoff's Étude-Tableau Op. 39 No. 6 is actually written alongside with his other Op. 33 Études-Tableaux compositions as Op. 33 No. 4, but it was not published alongside other Op. 33 études, rather, it was revised and published with other Op. 39 études.
Rachmaninoff is the composer like no other composer. Sure his compositions have noticeable influence of Chopin, but he also developed the style of his own full of expressiveness, which is why he’s my favorite composer.
Piano Concerto No 2 the Adagio Sostenuto is amongst my Top 5 all time favourites... Such an agonizingly beautiful and heart-wrenching piece that you want to cry to .. And his All-night Vigil, Now Lettest Though moves me to tears everytime... Rachmaninov is a master of touching the souls of those who listen to his music
This visualizer demystifies piano so much. You can really see how a pianist just approaches the task of music making as a kind of self solving puzzle/game instead of some kind of ungraspable miraculous abstraction. Been really enjoying watching these as an addition to my art history studies. It’s taken me half a lifetime to be able to find a way to find a way to digest this type of creation. Much like classical painting it’s a completely different world for a contemporary person to access, especially if they weren’t raised with a classical education. I feel like I’m finally able to find solid ground amongst these greats through the study of painting, philosophy and mythology. It’s not longer a bewildering but beautiful and impressive chaos, but a dimension set parallel to time and space. And: These crazy people making these things against all odds, sacrificing normalcy and relatability repeatedly to sit alone and reflect out a mirror for the inhabitants of earth. It’s so wild. The Roch man a real modernist. His arps just sound like machines and war and cars and talking through wires and people finally flying. You can hear the death of the medieval mind. It’s not all technological salvation, but a loss of something parental and deeply tragic.
Concerto #2 was my intro to Rachmaninov and has a special place. I also love Concerto #4, the Paganini Rhapsody, and, thanks to Yunchan Lim, Concerto #3.
Fiquei embasbacado. Não conheço a obra de Rachmaninoff então sempre achei que ele não fosse grande coisa, quando escutei sua primeira obra, me surpreendi.
I'm glad that Rach felt the need to express himself in a neo romantic style. He was so good at it and apparently didn't feel the pressure to create something really outside the box like Prokofiev and some of his other contemporaries.
@@sandrobreus9147 Scriabin is definitely an interesting example since he started off very romantic then branched off whereas Rach stayed romantic his entire career
@@NM34000 Scriabin and Prokofiev are not romantic composers tho. Scriabin started pretty romantic but quickly became very experimental. Rach is the only one of his contemporaries that stayed romantic his whole career
You forgot the 1st Piano Concerto((( It was his first officially signed opus (op.1), he wrote it when he was 18 and he played it at his final piano exam (we don’t forget that he also graduated like composer and wrote for the final exam the opera “Aleko”. It is a good video, but it would be better if the interpretation was real, not MIDI, for the new listeners especially.
The genius of Rachmaninoff is so great - I can't get hold of it any time I listen to his music and think about him how he would be in 2023. Would he still fear death?
Miss this channel. Been 5 years since I last visited this at a PC shop playing this channel's videos while playing league in order to calm me everytime teemo kills me...
There's 13 keys that are pressed actually. He's not an alien, that is a symphony that was played, and it's meant to be played by an orchestra, not on a piano.
@@katttttt Definitely not. That part looks totally fine to play with the sustain pedal. There are some other moments like in “Easter” that I don’t understand unless it’s a duet though.
Liszt:I bought the piano now I’m going to use it Rachmaninoff: I bought the whole piano now I’m going to control the whole piano and use it to its full power
Hey, thank you so much for posting this video! Love it so much, Rach has definitely been a huge influence and inspiration on my self and my musical journey! Do you have a video posted of the 12 romances, Op. 21, V. Lilacs? Because your version is so much cleaner and pure than any other recordings I’ve heard (IMO).
11:45 where the hell did you get a midi like that from?? i've never been able to find a good computer-generated midi for the 1913 version. is there more where that came from?
It's interesting how the technology of two video games (Dance Dance Revolution & Guitar Hero) has made its way into Classical Music education. Watching this, you can visualize the intervals and hear the notes in your mind before they are played.

But have you heard his greatest piece, poogooo?
i kinda consider my self as a rachmaninoff mania, but man, there are so many hidden masterpieces
Ikrr!!! He has so many good works out there, it's almost impossible for me to pick a singular favorite!!
they're so hidden, so when you find them over time, each one of them changes your previous perception of piano forever
Yes, listen to his Nocturnes he composed when he was I believe 14 or 15 years old! Especially no.2 in F major, a hidden gem
The dude was BUSY and BRILLIANT throughout his adolescent years.

Id say Skriabin is a better example, they even studied together yet they are complete opposites.
@@sandrobreus9147 Scriabin is definitely an interesting example since he started off very romantic then branched off whereas Rach stayed romantic his entire career

I literally just got home from the Rachmaninoff festival/competition, so how fitting that this was posted today!
Seems to my amateur ear that even at age 12 something of that Rachmaninoff sound was already there. And from there on it just got ever better. :-)
Нечего себе, хронология?) И фотки?) Шикарно
To be honest, it’s his choral music that does most for me. Bogoroditse Devo from his Vespers is awe inspiring.
Can we agree Rachmaninoff and Bethoven has the best piano concertos?
Tchaikovsky
Mozaft shits on all of them
No swearing please?
I like Moszkowski more than Beethoven tbh
NO¡!!!! Beethoven YES!!!! Rachmaninoff??? Bullsh-t!!!!

11 year old Rachmaninoff knew how to rock.
At 11?!?! Am I the only one with my mind blown?
Ah yes, he has 4 arms i see
1:45 wait wait wait wait- so youre telling me not _all_ of his pieces are written for 6 hands? :0
The others were written for 8 hands.
Some of the pieces, like the concertos, were likely the piano solo plus piano accompaniment (for the orchestral reduction).
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so true
The king of the piano concerto!
Η7χρονη εγγνουλα μου με διδάσκει!!!!!

he had a bit of a bach influence at the start there
Latest classic. The second and third concert are the most favorite.

Great job. Only the Elegie is missing in my opinion, but I know that everything couldn't be included. 🙂

Mine favorite is liebensleid - kreisler (arr. Rachmaninoff)
I like that piano Concerto n3 op30’s name, it translate literally to “happy, but not much”
Rach was happy when he wrote his last opus, not realizing his death was in 2 years from the first symphonic dance (Non Allegro)
