Alekszandra Dovgan (zongora)
Alekszandra Dovgan látszólag tökéletesen beleillik a „csodagyermek” kategóriába: 5 évesen kezdett zongorázni, jelenleg a moszkvai konzervatóriumban Mira Marcsenko osztályában tanul, és 15 éves kora ellenére már számos rangos verseny díját tudhatja magáénak. 2018-ban Gyenyisz Macujev és Valerij Gergijev társaságában lépett fel a Mariszkij Nemzetközi Zongorafesztivál nyitóeseményén, 2019-ben többek között a Berlini Filharmonikusok és az Amszterdami Concertgebouw vendége volt, 2021-ben Gustavo Dudamel meghívására Beethoven B-dúr zongoraversenyét adta elő a Mahler Kamarazenekar közreműködésével. Ám ahogyan Grigorij Sokolov megfogalmazta: Alekszandra mégsem „csodagyermek”, hiszen játéka bár csodálatos, korántsem gyermeki, hanem egy érett művész személyiségének megnyilatkozása. A zongorairodalom remekeiből összeállított programja a romantika korának hangulatait idézi meg: Beethoven zenéjének szenvedélyességében, Schumann költőiségében és Chopin lírájában az emberi lélek legrejtettebb húrjai rezonálnak. - เพลง
I didn't think that a pianist of only 14 could play in the same concert the 4 ballads of Chopin with as much technical mastery (in addition to the rest, Beethoven, Schumann which are very difficult pieces). And all this with "apparent" ease. It's just stunning!
You just know she put in so much work to get these pieces into her repertoire and to play well
I have been following this young pianist for a few years. It seems that she has suddenly elevated her playing to a whole new level. She is certainly on her way to becoming one of the finest pianists in the world.
Ja, Sie haben vollkommen recht. Alexandras performance hat sich innerhalb der letzten 2 Jahre unglaublich gesteigert. Wie ist dies überhaupt möglich? Dies weiss wohl nur Gott.
@@andreashennemann597 Das ist doch moeglich mit Alexandra weil sie ist schon ¨one of the finest pianists¨ in der Welt.
No “suddenly” about it. She has been working tremendously hard since being a tiny little girl; the education and build-up have steadily taken place and will continue. Nothing has been “sudden.”
she is already there and perhaps much further
Again I am blown away by this young lady's astonishingly focussed and intense music-making - what joy to hear her!!!
The Russian schools of music are unequaled anywhere in the world. Alexandra is a simply marvellous musician and pianist. And at time of this recital she was only 14 years old. Thank you for the generous upload. Every moment is beautiful.
@quaver1239 - Simply amazing, 14 years old. You have to be born with something in your mind is all ready gift from above, ok learning process but no predisposition you can not learn that no way.Very gifted young lady, thanks for uploading video.
Became a fan the first tune I heard her play.
Beautifull and gorgeous concert. And the last "encore"...whouaou...I could listen to her play this kind of music for hours....

Thank you
Thank you so much. 😻
Spasibo!
I watched this in two halves because I’m not as young as I was and can’t concentrate for so long but here is Alexandra Dovgan able to sit and play at the highest level for two hours at 14 years of age - an almost unbelievable achievement. The Ballades of Chopin were so beautifully played they could have been played by Chopin himself, and all the time with a face so serene in concentration - just beautiful. Words fail me...
It's very obvious she plays with a level of maturity far beyond her chronological age. I find her most comparable to Martha Argerich.
Mir laufen die Tränen bei dieser göttlichen Interpretation der Balladen von Chopin .
beautiful princess Alexandra playing like a greek goddess on lyre , congratulations, god bless you!
Sasha is a miracle. Deeper and deeper. Bravissima!!! Beauty in time of horror. God bless You
a Ukrainian girl educated by a Ukrainian teacher - Mira Marchenko. Her typically ukrainian surname - Dovgan means long.
@@user-nc1lx2so4d O, yea, and all education took place in one of the most ukrainian towns on Earth (almost no kidding) -- Moskow.
@@aquilonnord1700 Silly absurd person, I mentioned neither her education ( background ) nor her residence. I only precised her nationality ( origine) and this of her music teacher Mira Marchenko. They must both have some relatives in the bleeding Ukraine and I can imagine their state as to this devilish horror.
Как же надоели вы со своей Украиной. Живёт ребенок в Москве, учится в Москве. Мира тоже всю жизнь в Москве преподает. Нет, надо сову на глобус натянуть. На глобус Украины.
@@user-nc1lx2so4d уже достали с украиной. Александрв русская и получила образование в России, у талантлевейшего русского педагога Миры Алексеевны Марченко. Саша всегда будет представлять великолепную и самую лучшую русскую школу.
Podré decir que viví en el mismo tiempo, en la misma época que Alexandra Dovgan, y que pude escuchar a una digna heredera de la tradición pianistica de los grandes!
That's what l say too.
unbelievably astonishing to be able to play like this on this level without reading from a music sheet. What a prodigy : ALEXANDRA DOVGAN is simply a Class act 🎉💚
Para mí que llevo poco tiempo escuchando recitales y conciertos através de TH-cam ,resulta muy emocionante ver la evolución de esta jovencísima pianista: desde muy niña y ahora ya pre adolescente. Hoy interpretó un programa largo y difícil, aunque tratando de música clásica todo es difícil: Beethoven, Schumann y las cuatro baladas de Chopin, más las propinas. En mi opinión toca con mucha intensidad y a la vez con intimismo. Hoy mi bravo no solamente va por ella sino también por las personas que están detrás de ella formando, educando y aconsejando. 👏👏👏👏⚘⚘⚘⚘
Это действительно богатый выбор репертуара, и в одной из музыкальных столиц, Будапеште, публика очень восприимчива и благодарна, если мастерский дух удивляет их такими требовательными произведениями. Помимо всех музыкальных достоинств Сашечки и чрезвычайно высокого уровня интеллекта и блестящих технических знаний, даже такая высокая степень сосредоточенности просто поражает. Спасибо и искренняя признательность за то, что я снова стал свидетелем этого необычайного музыкального опыта.
Igazán értékes repertoár-választás, és a zene egyik fővárosában, Budapesten, a közönség nagyon befogadó és hálás is, amiért ilyen meglepően igényes darabokkal szolgálja őt ki a zenei szellem. Szaska minden zenei erénye, rendkívüli szintű intellektuális eszköztára, briliáns technikai tudása mellett még egy ilyen magas fokú koncentráltságnak is a birtokában van, ez egyszerűen elképesztő. Köszönettel és őszinte hálával adózom, amiért az ő előadói tolmácsolásában ismét tanúja lehettem egy újabb rendkívüli zenei élménynek.
Depuis quelques années elle ne cesse de nous étonner, sa progression est constante et aucun répertoire ne semble pouvoir l’arrêter. Encore Bravo et merci.
It's a delight the way you interpret music. Thank you very much!
She has always worked with voices creatively from small, she has me hearing melodies I never knew were there is those ballades. Very original.
einfach großartig! Was für eine reife Seele! Was für eine Tiefe! Was für ein Talent! Was für ein génie ! Was für eine Arbeit! 💐💜🙏
素晴らしいコンサートをありがとう。
Thank you, Sasha!
It was a wonderful concert.
The camera work was also good.
It was 3:00 am in Japan at that time.
I support you at all times.
There's a quality to her playing that is hard to define. She seems to just become the music. Her playing demonstrates a deep innate sense of understanding of the music - as if she has lived a thousand years. An absolute delight to listen to. Brilliant!
I do hope - seriously- that someone will be able to hear this a thousand years hence ...
This truly beautiful performance is a treasure the whole world should hold dear, even this sad world which has done nothing to deserve such joyous music. Thank you, Sasha!
Да, всё правильно, не зря Александру уже столько лет сравнивают и ставят в один ряд с величайших музыкантами
Jej koncerty to jest przez jakiś czas kawałek nieba na ziemi. ❤️
I’m watching this recording for the third time - oh those silky-soft, feather-light, fluffy pianissimi!
Merveilleuse alexandra.
I think this is a wonderful and sensitive rendition of The Tempest. I believe that Beethoven would have liked her playing. All of the movements were highly polished. Alexandra Dovgan has the makings of world class pianist in all of her pieces. The Chopin and the Rachmaninoff were awesome. I hear she is already on tour. She has grown technically and artistically as I hear in all of her playing. May God preserve this great talent.
I just typed a very large paragraph and a bloody advert came up and deleted it - but what I'd said was, she's no longer a 'potent' pianist - she's already performing at the highest level many pianists will acheive in their lives - I personally regard her as one of the very best pianists in the world, she has the musicality many modern day pianists lack, as well as the technical security some of the greats like Cortot lacked, and her volume of repertoire is absolutely astonishing at only 14 - not to mention, everything she plays is so thoughtfully and brilliantly conveyed/interpreted and technically mastered, she delivers such quality without considering the number of immensely challenging pieces she's conquered, I've never been so impressed by any artist before - I'll be blessed to enjoy her performances for most of the duration of my life (being not a lot older than her)
@@joelmacinnes2391I also thought the same thing as you.
Csodálatosan nagy tehetség!
Amazing. At less than 15, in a blind hearing, you would think you were listening to a famous world-class performer. Frightening to think she is just going to get better! She's a one-in-a-million!
Maybe not famous, but is she not world class herself? I'm not sure I've ever heard the ballades played quite so well
Az sem lebecsülendő tény Szaska zsenialitásával és mesteri előadásmódjával párhuzamban, hogy ennek az élő koncertnek és felvételnek a zenei és vizuális rendezése az utóbbi idők egyik legjobbika, ha egyáltalán nem a legjobbika, amit valaha is láttam. Bravó a stábnak is!
Úgy van.
Is perfection possible.Beethoven played by Sasha!
Концовка до мурашек!!!До слёз тронуло!!!! О, Александра!! Ты Богиня в своём деле!!
Congratulations, dear Alexandra! XXX Bravissimo! Absolutely fabulous!
Congratulations, it was great and it was a wonderful evening for me.
C'est pur précis contenu et réfléchi. Un régal.
She will be one of the greatest pianists of all time. However, the above commentary is incorrect in saying Sasha is 15. She is now (as of March, 2022) 14 years and 8 months old. She will turn 15 this July. I'm so glad to see that, at least at the time of this concert, she was out of Russia and concertizing. She had many dates lined up in Europe for this coming spring and summer, and now with the widespread embargoes on Russian athletes and artists, at least some of these engagements must be in doubt. I sincerely pray that Putin's war does not harm her or her career in any way. Alexandra is the best of Russia. God bless her.
I agree 100% and I also am entirely against punishing those in the arts and athletics for Putin's crimes, even if they erroneously support him. I would even go so far as to say pulling Putin's Taekwando belt is ill informed and entirely irrelevant. Alexandra is a gift to the world and should be treated as such.
Putin is the worst of Russia, and should be stopped. I don't agree that supporters of this obscene war against the Ukrainian people should be given platforms abroad where they can proudly display their "Z" emblems and make speeches. But Alexandra has made no such sign, and I would be amazed if she did. A girl with a talent that is seen only once in a century, and yet carries herself with so much quiet dignity and modesty, just the opposite of the murderous narcissism of Vladimir Putin. Alexandra should be encouraged and embraced by the entire human race. Putin is the obsolete past; Sasha is the future.
@@ddgyt50 This may not be the best place to talk about it here, but it was you who started it with a big stereotype, crudely thrown out to the mass of the so-called "international community", the Atlanticist one, in fact, which is now well isolated: Putin, indeed, is a gift to the world and should be treated as such. Thank you for informing yourself for as long as it takes with at least as much discernment as you can give in the arts (I'll help you a bit, if you like).
More correctly, it is the US and NATO's war against Russia. It's not what Russia wanted but Putin was left with little choice. He and Russia are simply defending their own people and territory. Alexandra is an excellent ambassador for Russia. She exemplifies what the Russian people are capable of.
@@JoeLinux2000 Well said! You saved me the trouble of responding to the rantings of the brainwashed!
Alexandra me fait découvrir des œuvres que j'écoutais avant, avec distraction. Son piano est didactique et me fait entrer dans les âmes du compositeur, de l'interprète, à plusieurs niveaux. Je suis profondément ébloui et admiratif. Son ego est absent et l'on a la partition pure.
Complètement en accord avec votre perception de sa musique . 👍
Merci beaucoup. Je rêve d'aller à Moscou pour écouter Alexandra. L'effet qu'elle a, sur moi, est profond et indéfinissable. Quelle merveille.
Oui, cette approche est la même pour moi.
Это уже новый жанр - драматический спектакль классической музыки. Александра в роли Бетховена, Шумана, Шопена, Рахманинова. Теперь каждый композитор мечтает, чтобы их произведения исполняла Саша. Каждый еë концерт - это необыкновенное чудо.
Замечательно сказано! и абсолютно точно.
Sie sind Russe? Ja, bestimmt! Sie haben Kultur, Empathie - und Herz! So wie Sasha. Auf dass unsere gemeinsamen Werte auf ewig Bestand haben mögen...
@@andreashennemann597 Jaaaa!
Mio Dio, questa Alexandra ha l'anima di un Genio dei miei tempi dentro. Sei MERAVIGLIOSA! Un Dono del Universo Grazie 🙏
Artiste exceptionnelle, enchanteresse, modèle de simplicité, de finesse et de maîtrise de soi.
Quelle chance pour l'épanouissement de nos âmes, pour que la Paix règne dans la Jeunesse actuelle-
ment si inquiète pour son avenir ! Rendons grâces à Dieu pour les dons qu'Il confia à Alexandra !
Laissez Dieu à ses carences ,il n'a rien à voir la dedans !
@@bernardjacques4883 Pourquoi ne tolérez vous pas la liberté de parole et de croyance de chacun ? Votre intolérance fait franchement peur. Je ne mets pas non plus Dieu dans ceci, mais je regarde avec bienveillance d'autres l'y mettre. Chacun est libre bordel !
@@louisdresse8650 Oui, chacun est libre Nom de Dieu ! Et même de fustiger un prosélytisme bien déplacé ici.../
Bravo! Bravissimo!!!!
Chaque note est un délice, merci Sacha.
Спасибо, Александра, за очищающую души музыку!
Alexandra Dovgan is only 15 but already has established herself as a top pianist. It's interesting to hear her various You Tube videos tracing her progress from a 6 year old forgetting the Bach she was playing at the piano students' recital in 2014 to the polished performer we see here. She just keeps getting better. There's a real maturity in her playing that most child prodigies don't have. She seems an old soul in a young body. Great credit to Mira Marchenko who taught her in Moscow.
Here Sasha is 14 yet. Her Birthday is on the 1st of July.
She has? Extraordinary performance but Alexandra Dovgan's unique matter - of - fact approach to the piano and music leaves little room and space for any imagination.
Folks at the Liszt Academy not being able to contain the clapping after each Chopin Ballade says it all (particularly the amazing Ballade no 1). Bravo Alexandra Dovgan
She is insane! Being that young and playing such ambitious repertoire in a such beautiful way demands a lot of devotion. She can be proud of herself and I can't wait to see more! Thank you
Calling her a prodigy is almost an insult, she's already made it, she's utterly world class - every one of her performances is deeply heartfelt and beautifully played, unlike the stereotypical 'prodigy'
Александра прекрасный Мастер фортепиано!! Очень сильная, волевая личность!! Она тонко чувствует исполняемую музыку и , соединяясь где то , высоко, в энерго информационном пространстве с духом Автора музыки, передаёт слушателям всё, что Он хотел сказать людям !!!
Никогда не слыхал более смелой и более убедительной 3-й Баллады. Открытие в истории этого опуса. Шедевр.
and thank you so much for this wonderfulll upload!
Саша, спасибо ❤ прекрасно все, а бисы блестящи и глубоки 💔 и все слова тусклы на фоне музыки. Спасибо! Только бы все , Саша, у Вас в жизни сложилось, только бы Вы играли все лучше, и глубже, и бесконечно... Вы уже навсегда в истории. Люблю Вас ❤
This is beyond words , beyond beautiful, beyond ANY other pianistic interpretation. She is already a master . God bless her
Саша! Вы для меня символ России, который берегу в сердце.
Войны приходят и уходят, но пока не истребленно человечество в целом, в наших еще живых душах будет огромная потребность искать гармонию. Вы многих на некоторое время делаете значительными и счастливыми.
Дай Вам Бог пройти по славной дороге жизни и не встретится со злом и насилием: ни физическим, ни душевном.
Привет из Израиля!
a Ukrainian girl educated by a Ukrainian teacher - Mira Marchenko. Her typically ukrainian surname - Dovgan means long.
@@user-nc1lx2so4d Yes, in the purest "Russian" pedagogical, pianistic and musical tradition ? Alexandra is a sovereign I Am. Let us hope that it inspires the path of a people who, among others, suffers from not being sovereign yet, in any area of sovereignty.
eally? And this is why only those Ukrainians who live in Russia and are actually Russian in their mind and their supra-ethnic, all-embracing mentality, become meaningful for the rest of the world. While Ukrainians in Ukraine have nothing else to be proud of but their Ukrainian identity, based on sheer backwoods, countryside nationalism.
Thank God Mira Marchenko and Dovgan are out of the obsessed Ukraine. Otherwise, the Ukrainian obsession would have never been out of them.)
@@user-nc1lx2so4d люба, заело что ли, как заводная
@@user-nc1lx2so4d, с фамилиями согласна, вот только всё равно она русская пианистка, хочется нам того или нет.
СУПЕР- КАКАЯ ЭНЕРГЕТИКА СИЛЬНАЯ- ГЕНИАЛЬНАЯ ДЕВОЧКА!
Ansolutly adore her playing💐💐💐💐💐
I found these quotes in an old book on Chopin by Basil Maine, citing Berlioz's remarks on his playing:
“ … veined with a thousand dances - detail in the mazurkas unbelievable - playing them to the last last degree of softness with superlative ‘piano’, hammers touching the strings so lightly that one is tempted to bend the ear over the instrument.”
Alexandra came immediately to mind
Impeccable dynamics and clear sound
I knew almost immediately in the Tempest that this was a very special lady . In Faschingswank I thought incredible. Ive never heard a 14 year old succeed in any Chopin Ballade but she is well on her way in all 4 . No. 3 is bestfor young person. No.1 by the time she is 25 and had life experience will be learned again and she will give us a deep ,exploratory , unforgettable experience !
Amazing 🤩
Que placer de interpretación! Excelente ...
Glorious !! Such talent---Sublime!!!
She has really matured, watched her at a major compeition and thought she was good but needed a couple more years, but good to see that she is going on to that path and her tone and color and the essence of the music captured. Very matured playing- happy to see this. Looking forward to more recordings
I think she should avoid competitions other than serving on the jury.
Did you hear her Mendelssohn Concerto? This Girl is a genius, no doubt about that…
Сашенька, я очень ревностно следил за пальцами твоих восхитительных рук во время 2-ой баллады, т.к. в 90-е годы моя дочь играла 2-ую балладу учась в Горьковской консерватории. Спасибо тебе, ты перенесла меня во времени на 30 лет назад...А вообще я считаю, что исполнять четыре баллады Шопена подряд - это творческий подвиг, и ты, Сашенька, его блестяще совершила!
I’m not musical, but watching/listening to her over the past two years, I’ve begun to pick up on the nuances of an outstanding player. I hear it in artists such as Wang and Matsuev. I particularly enjoy her humility, and especially, her charming smile at the end of each performance.
This is a really great video.
Надеюсь, и российский слушатель вживую сможет услышать Александру. Ждем у нас в Сибири! Не только в Будапеште, но и в Новосибирске, Омске, Красноярске публика и разборчива, и очень благодарна!
Россия ждкт тебя, Александра. Ждет и любит.
Mais que va t elle devenir , elle qui est déjà si fabuleuse ???? La plus grande des pianistes de tous les temps sans doute ! Comme j'envie les futures génératiions qui auront le loisir de l'entendre ! ...
Fantasztikus❣️ ❤️- ből gratulálok❣️👏🌹🌷💐
❤️❤️❤️ thank you 💓💓💓
Eagerly await her exploring the music of Brahms!
Молодец, как движется вперёд и вверх!Браво!
bravo !!!!! desde argentina !!
I spent the evening;g listening to every you tube video of Alexandra. Such an extraordinary musical talent. I’m listening to her version of Beethoven sonata and it’s so beautiful.
Énormes progrès de Ms Dovgan. Actuellement, je pense que N.Schwamova et A.Dovgan sont les 2 meilleures pianistes mondiales car elles sont beaucoup plus que des virtuoses 👍
Sie haben vollkommen recht. Ich hatte die Ehre, Mrs. Dovgan persönlich im Rahmen des Rheingau Musik Festivals erleben zu dürfen...
Je préfère la version de schwamova, pour la ballade n 1,
Beautiful performance
Сашечка - чудо! Невероятное и необъяснимое.
Саша - прекрасная пианистка. Но "необъяснимое чудо" - это вы загнули. В ЦМШ полно таких вполне объяснимых "чудес", и маленьких, и больших. Может, вы просто, мало интересуетесь...
@@Tata-Sibiryatschka У меня нет времени интересоваться всеми "чудесами" ЦМШ. Мне достаточно одной Саши.
@@Tata-Sibiryatschka нет, не согласна, даже для ЦМШ это чудесное исключение.
Wonderful! Congratulation! and Happy Birthday to You!
Awesome piano music and awesome pianist ❤
Majestueuse ALEXANDRA !!!
Sie ist tatsächlich dies geworden, was sie vor vielen Jahren, damals noch ein kleines Mädchen, werden wollte: eine Prinzessin. Nun ist Alexandra die Königin unserer Herzen. Weltweit!
Would be great to see her in the future in the Chopin Piano International Competition. She has a magnificient career waiting for her
Awesome Performance
Wonderful young Artist!
Quite apart from her astonishingly brilliant, beautiful and highly polished playing , it's Alexandra's poise that amazes me. She obviously has complete confidence in her own pianistic ability and therefore just "effortlessly" gets through this demanding program whilst seemingly enjoying every minute of it. What a star in the making.
Je ne pourrais me lacer d'écouter Alexandra..un Ange de Musique..
Elle s'affirme de plus en plus.
Brava !!!!💕🇲🇽
Some yummy playing. Individual tone, and balance of technique and musicianship
bravo bravo
Im dłużej Ją słucham, tym bardziej rozpływam się z zachwytu...😅
Increíble
wonderful confirmation of we know about the 9 years old Alexandra.
Maestro, Ihre Interpretationen aller 1:30:06 4 Balladen von Chopin sind einfach einzigartig! Sie sind tatsächlich so ein ewiges Genie wie es dereinst Arthuro Benedetti Michelangeli es gewesen ist.. Gott segne Sie, grosse Alexandra Sergejewna Dovgan! 🙏
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
...va avanzando sostenidamente esta talentosa joven ¡felicitaciones!
It was bittersweet to listen to Aleksandra Dovgan's wonderful performance in Budapest yesterday and be reminded that she is the true representative of the Russia I honor, not the thug who let loose her uniformed countrymen to reconquer Ukraine next door to Hungary. At the same time as she was bringing us to tears with her play, one tram stop away from the venue of the concert, at Nyugati railway terminal, every hour hundreds of Ukrainian refugees, mostly mothers and children were (are) getting off the train, trying to find shelter and a way to put together their shattered life again.
Indeed, it makes me profoundly sad, even in the light of Alexandra's gift to us.
@@wlj344 While I would be happy if she did speak out against Putin, I would never require a 15 year old pianist to do so. You and I know nothing about what sort of sacrifice that would take. There is family, there is school, there even is the threat of prison. "Parading her talent" is what she can do to make the world a better place and IMHO she should go on doing that for our sakes.
@@wlj344 She is, as all working people are. Not going to any cultural event that has anything to do with Russia unless in aid of Ukraine is a hard choice. I would certainly not attend anything where artists who are vocal supporters of Putin perform. But Dovgan? Or Sokolov, who has lived in Italy for many years? Or concerts that have nothing to do with living Russian artists? IMHO one needs culture in hard times too, arguably, even more.
@@wlj344 Detestation of all things Russian (including vodka, Dostoyevsky and Shostakovich) is a misplaced kneejerk reaction to be avoided. Not even people directly affected (like the refugee lady from Kyiv whom I most recently put up in Budapest and with whom I spoke Russian) would react like that.
@@wlj344 I share your righteous anger. No need to expound: as I mentioned, I live and work in Budapest, and I try to help refugees. But I still think you are missing your target. My thinking is that here are so many other ways one can help suffering Ukraine and express what one thinks of Putin and the aggressors, stopping a 15-year-old pianist who never spoke up for Putin, never even voted for him from bringing joy to audiences around the world should not be one of those. Can we agree to differ on this?
Просто супер, удачи и дальше Сашенька.
браво, браво, браво
Как же она владеет звуком гениально
Masterful performances. Possibly Olga Samaroff reincarnated. Chopin Ballade #1 at 1:11:17
Welcome to the next level in classical piano phrasing.
Prodigy
Чудесная Саша❤❤❤
