He is a kind man. I sent a piece for an autograph (with return postage) to frame and inspire young people I taught in a small music program. He sent back the music (signed with a lovely note), signed photos, more music, etc.
honestly with music, if you play something with your whole chest you can usually get away with a lot more dissonance than what’s “acceptable.” it applies a lot to jazz, but i think even with classical music, if you are unapologetically composing something this dissonant it ends up working out (i’m thinking of shostakovich or scriabin as examples)-kind of like “wow; this is hot garbage, but i can’t stop listening” 💀 i unironically love this piece lol
I encountered this piece by Marc-André Hamelin's performances in Dec. 14, 1997 and Jan. 1999, where even Hamelin himself exaggerated the clown-like movements throughout the piece, e.g. standing up to strike Db1 by his right hand, or... I can't explain it with my English limit, so make sure to search his performance in 1999.
If you are going to play this yourself: don't do as I did and miss the octave change at 00:14 and the A-natural at 00:28 (and its repeat). When slip ups like these add up, you risk the super silly structure of the piece falling through into one of mere everyday goofiness, certainly not the composer's intent.
@@Yipee566 hamelin has played this piece, and in my opinion his performance is the funniest so far xd this is probably one of hamelin's many influences of humor in his music
one of my favorites is Hamelin playing Doucet's Chopinata in some pub-like venue in Stockholm and the audience keeps laughing at every new strain, such a fun piece and atmosphere th-cam.com/video/UIIb1XJtG-I/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=tompilk
I wnjoy the dissonance in the chords, I've been a huge fan of Luigis mansion and deeply adore all of those fanciful melodies. Classical music always has dissonance, tension, chord blocks, etc.
I've always loved this piece and I think you played it very well. Maybe you can do something more with "morendo"? Also, I'm baffled people can hate this piece... 😳
I did not know this piece and enjoyed the chance to hear it. Nice work! For me, the Shostakovich Polka (though a transcription) is the funniest piano piece: th-cam.com/video/87mQGWv-ybk/w-d-xo.html There's barely a bar that doesn't make me smile.
Interesting... I think Debussy had opened the way to ironic music with Minstrels, for example ( and not only with that piece...) but... Also Descriptions Automatiques by Satie has its place.
I don't want to make ads for my own music here, but a few years ago I also tried to write a piano piece as unserious as possible, the Bagatelle WoO 0 in my channel
Is Shchedrin alive yet?! Omg! I don't like this piese, it's not funny or humorous, and this strange final... Anyway, thanks for the perform and uploading this;)
My channel is basically a showcase of slight reading errors broadcast to the world with the exact instructions of how I got it wrong, and I can’t be stopped
My sense is that Shchedrin's music has the unfortunate quality of being perceived as too traditional by the avant-gardists and too avant-garde by the traditionalists. It also seems like he tried many different styles throughout his career but wasn't particularly exceptional in any if them. Hence, it's unlikely that his music will be widely performed after his death.
Interesting thought, yes, that does make a lot of sense. His first sonata was a gateway for me to enjoy a lot more 20th century composers, and basso ostinato is a piece of such ferocious effect that I think a good performance can win over audiences who may be wary of dissonance. Of course, it helps that he has a piece like the Carmen arrangement to bring his name to more audiences, but that doesn’t necessarily win people over to explore his personal style.
Well, at least don’t let this piece taint your opinion of Shchedrin if you don’t know his music. He’s an excellent composer, just being very intentionally silly here
One needs a good understanding of how music should be written to appreciated the humour here. It's funny with the diversion of expectations with the random missed beats and especially the ending.

So cool!
Nice
I love how cleverly hidden the last chord was. Oh, if only I had my speakers up higher!
This actually got me, well played I turned my speakers up near the end 😂
WHY YOU LITTLE....
you got me... i already have tinnitus....... ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu
I now identify as beethoven
HAHAHA
Despite how silly this is it is still rather well written. It’s a great piece overall. The ending is particularly funny
I've played this, the hate is unjustified, you just gotta roll with the dissonance and the weirdness.
I thought you meant Charles Ives played this until I looked more carefully XD
@@stevelin3659 changed it for you to avoid further misunderstandings, now i found a new composer I gotta listen...

I don't see the problem with this piece. This seems nice to me :)
"hi this is my Juilliard audition piece, do you think I will be accepted to the program?"
Never making it out the hood with this one
@@parkerchace Looks like I missed the first octave switch at 00:14 so I'm cooked right off the bat, Manny Ax would throw me right out
examiner: Is this a joke?
you: yes that's the piece.
@ yes
Absolutely

Mere everyday goofiness. Someone put this on a shirt.
Don't worry about it. The spirit came across. Great job! Never heard of this composer, let alone this particular piece.
I was forced to play this piece as a child and I hated it. Thanks for sharing
Crappy piece indeed, never heard it before but already hate it. I'm sorry you had to play this
No you weren't, why even lie?
@@vladislavmatiusenco1089 philistine.
I LAUGHED AT THE ENDING BRUHHHH
so glad this came up in my recommended ts is so fire
I'm saddened by these comments, no one else actually likes this lol. It's going straight into my playlist though.
I like it
I like it, it has a lot of things to appreciate
I enjoyed it
these mfs aren’t true music lovers like we are 💔
I think it’s quite innovative, actually. A few techniques like this get used in notable pieces like Chopin’s “wrong note” etude.
Hamelin has found his rivalling opponent

Sounds like someone trying to play Bohemian Rhapsody drunk
Thanks for the video idea
It reminds me of Milhaud's Songs of Brazil

I actually like it.
It sounds so cool and soothing for some reason haha
why so serious
I've always loved this piece and I think you played it very well. Maybe you can do something more with "morendo"? Also, I'm baffled people can hate this piece... 😳
Good thought about morendo since he does put that in just at the end…so many opportunities for silliness
Why am i vibing with this so hard tho
What a banger! Definitely on my playlist
This goofy masterpiece is priceless 😂😂
Reminds me very much of Prokofiev's Cinderella ballet, which I have played a few times.
the interval, the dynamic, the tempo, lol
Very interesting. Never heard it before.
This piece isnt fire, 🔥🔥🔥
Its water! 🌊🌊🌊

Liszt was probably the first who did that
@@Ricardo7250I agree

Hits different when you're high on caffeine
1:02 peak humor
strong influence from Prokofiev!
This is why I love seconds. Look at something like Kapustin's Etude in seconds for example, definitely the funniest interval.
wow seconds ARE the funniest interval which explains why sevenths are the second funniest bc they’re inversions of seconds
This is hilarious
Did you hear some Prokofiev's Toccata quotation? 😅
bro is NOT in Db
disagree lol… even though the harmonies are very grating/dissonant, the piece is still clearly in Db major to me?
so much Prokofiev in it
It is so much better in 1.5x haha I discovered that accidentally
Try Kabalevsky "Clowns"
th-cam.com/video/zTEhOxivFu4/w-d-xo.html
You should try Bolcom's Dead Moth Tango. I'm sure you'd kill it. It has a similarly funny vibe, but maybe slightly more sardonic.
I love Bolcom’s rags, and some of them can be silly at times. Don’t think I’ve heard the dead moth tango before, will check it out!
I don't want to make ads for my own music here, but a few years ago I also tried to write a piano piece as unserious as possible, the Bagatelle WoO 0 in my channel
Quite bizarre piece I would say. But nice rythms.
I don’t know what piece this is, but I actual really like the feel of it haha :)
The less serious it is, the better
An RCM classic!!
I laughed so hard at the ottava bassa at 1:02
Hey heads up, do not turn your volume up for the last chord. It's a trap.
😏
@@PianoCurio hey, pin me if you really want to help lol
Amusing.
I couldn't stop laughing.
This is better than everything I wrote.
Krouchtchev humour
Goofy ass piece 😜
If you like musically anarchistic unseriousness, listen to my "Scherzo", lol
This is music
It sounds like a regular piece! Just messed up at points
подскажите мне, где нужно смеяться.
Sometimes it is a delayed effect because humor takes time to absorb into certain types of people. Be patient and eventually you will start laughing.
Who wrote it? I'll trade it for a hellalotta serious music.
Rodion Shchedrin
It is funny 🤣
Took "humor" in "humorusque" seriously
a lot of Poulenc’s songs are funnier and more ironic than this tbh! Great piece though i don’t get the hate
Is Shchedrin alive yet?! Omg!
I don't like this piese, it's not funny or humorous, and this strange final... Anyway, thanks for the perform and uploading this;)
Nothing new. Don't forget Mozart's musical joke k522
0:28 i think u misread score
Yeah I missed that A-natty and the octave change at 00:14 BUT my coffee kicked in during the second half and I caught the octaves second time at least

@@PianoCurio His 2nd and 3rd Piano Concertos, at a minimum, are extremely fine. And his 24 Preludes and Fugues.
