    This is an astonishing display of pianistic mastery of the highest plain. Miss Sol explores the labyrinthine technical possibilities of the piano covering a wide range of idioms. A truly breathtaking experience. Is it mere coincidence that she chose the same key as Liszt's Transendental Etude on the Paganini theme, La Campanella? G#minor. Not the easiest of keys. This is a musical monument, something in the line of what Alexei Kissin would play, only more imaginative. I am truly blown over. Thank you for sharing this precious moment.

      I'm curious why you automatically think her preference of key had anything to do with Liszt's version of la Campanella? Why couldn't it have just been a coincidental choice? This piece had little to do with Liszt or the Paganini Etude. In fact, her variations go through the gamut of the most well known composers, (Except for Brahms ). 😢
      The Key of G# Major may be "very difficult" to you, but from a pianistic vantage, it is a very comfortable key to play in. The White keys & black keys align very well with the hands natural posture. This is why Chopin would teach his students to play scales with the most flats & sharps before scales with all natural keys like that of C Major & a minor.

      We should see that this is a lot about what is happening in this world. All about style, hard to discover the real content in these ongoing matters of conflict.
      So, Nahre helps us to recognize content, when doing these examples.
      What seems the meaning of all the preachings, in fact it is only style, and has the purpose of "alignment". We getting taken for a ride all the time.
      Nahre takes us for a ride in a funny and enlightening way. So we can leave the wrong train in our reality. In music, fortunately there are no wrong trains, but to us as individuals, some may look and sound simply more familiar.

    This was incredible. My favourite one yet. The Bach and Rachmaninoff made me laugh out loud with how accurate they were! Loved it.

    I know the video length is short, but this really had to take TONS of time to create and practice. Not only that, but of course, you're drawing upon a lifetime of experience playing music from these composers. Hats off!

    Hands down my favorite "in the style of" exploration you've ever done! Each version was SO distinctive and your text overlay is incredibly informative. Loved all of them , but found the chord choices for Ravel and your own piece most moving. I love that, comparatively, Liszt sounds utterly spastic! 😂 Thanks!

  • @ESKARGAMES

    Nahre, you continue to demonstrate what a true and genuine talent and genius you are. I've been in love with classical music almost my whole life, but I could not begin to delve into it to my satisfaction until I was in my early 20's. Now about to hit my 30's I find myself diving even deeper. This year I expanded my studies and as a result have become a fledgling pianist and composer. Having studied piano for one year and at the end of it begun to really get into composition because of you. I've learned so much just through your videos. Someday I hope to meet you and maybe even share my compositions with you, see you play live and I will enjoy of course continue to enjoy watching your creations here. It is amazing how much you evoked each composer based on their own compositions which I imagine you have tirelessly studied. I especially loved Philip Glass as the end. Shades of "Truman Sleeps" echoing throughout illuminates your brilliance and the depths your own studies have taken you. Thank you for doing what you do and being you.

    This has made me cry. I am a pianist and I love to share beautiful piano moments with my beautiful dad, who is a brilliant pianist. Sadly, tonight is probably going to be his last night on this earth as his tired body finally gives way to cancer. How much we would he have loved to watch this together. Thank you so much - this is beautiful. Love from a very sad David in Australia 🙂

  • @EAFSQ9
    @EAFSQ9 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Have to say, your version was quite nice :) You still get the jazzy undertones from the original composition but you get the emotion you've put into it, as if it were both trying and testing, but also sing-songy and bright at moments. Well done Nahre! It was great.

  • @JWBaSiTo

  • @denise2169
    @denise2169 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    There is so much to admire about your work, Nahre! It’s hard to know where to begin! Not only is this work (and your others) incredibly knowledgeable in terms of what makes each composer’s style unique, but your technique is so fluent and easy, that I forget to notice how difficult the playing is! I can feel how much you enjoy making your own music!
    Other pianists might be able to interpret different composers well, but you take your musicality and brilliance to a totally new level by composing your own arrangements. I am blown away, and have already listened to this three times in a row.
    I am fascinated, and cannot say which of these ‘variations’ is my favourite, and your original them and your own style at the end are also wonderful!
    Your videos are now the first that I look for, when I look on TH-cam!

    enjoyed every second of this video! Made me laugh and tear up a bit - the nostalgia of studying music over a decade ago but had to give it up and pursue a corporate job conjured up through your eloquent, clever and whimsical takes on all these composers I love, including you! Thank you so much Nahre - you are the great artist of our era!

    I can't tell you how really, really good that is. The Shostakovich, Philip Glass, and Liszt in particular were amazing. It's so great how you make piano playing fun. Loved seeing you and your Mom composing the remembrance. I wish I still had mine. Cherish her for as long as you can. Best Regards.

    Nahre, Im such a huge fan of yours. Absolutely love these. Liked you Happy Birthday renditions when you put those out. The Gershwin was bang on. I was hoping that you’d end the Rachmaninoff in his signature rhythm of his name. Next to you he’s my fav!

    What a wonderful video!! Not only fun listening and hearing the styles of familiar composers applied to a song but LOVE the pop-up descriptions!! When I saw that the Romantic composers were near the middle of the video I thought to myself "Hmm, I wonder if Philip Glass will be included" and OMG he was!! 😄

    This is fantastic! So fun and welled played, and I loved all the quasi-interpretive marking interjections describing what was happening in the moment (but they're missing for your version!) The Ravel was amazing, just beautiful but also sounded like you were briefly possessed by him as well.

    Every single one was so beautiful (: i really feel like you capture the sound qualities of each composer very well. There is definately a certain “sound” or “feel” to each composer, person, song, etc. But to really hone in on exactly what those qualities are, and then implement them into a totally different musical idea is just so beyond anything i could ever hope to do. So incredible to hear this music Nahre.
