In the books its actually stated that Elizabeth plays the piano worse than Mary (which is why you get the comments she makes later on about not playing the piano 'as well as I ought' or something) its just that people tolerate her playing more because she doesn't take it way too seriously like Mary does. That said, I always crack up at this scene
well, it was not stated in the book that she played worse than Mary. It said her performance was pleasing, not very good, but there was no comparison to Mary's at all.
tp xuanan No I must contradict you there: "Mary had neither genius nor taste; and though vanity had given her application, it had given her likewise a pedantic air and conceited manner, which would have injured a higher degree of excellence than she had reached. Elizabeth, easy and unaffected, had been listened to with much more pleasure, though not playing half so well;" - Chapter 6. So Lizzie pleases because of her unforced modesty, but technically Mary played better.
@@monmothma3358 Well, Jane IS known for her irony... But yes, the book should really be called Pride and Vanity. (For some reason the end of The Devil's Advocate (movie not novel) pops into my head now.)
@@Darcyfied Also Elizabeth improves a lot on the piano at Rosings because she's allowed to practice and realizes that she needs to improve. "I do not play this instrument so well as I should wish to. But I have always supposed that to be my own fault because I did not take the trouble of practising." Lizzie to Mr. Darcy
The Netherfield ball scene is brilliant.
Love everything about this extraordinary masterpiece💝🌌💖🕊️🌠
I love the opening music, fits the series wonderfully.
This is excellent, getting an incite on how they put together such a masterful production.
insight
lucy is so cute and funny. i love her laugh and sense of humour! ^^
One of the funniest things about Mary's piano-playing at the Netherfield ball is that the song she sings IS ABOUT A TREE.
I thought the dog joining in outside was a clever touch.
The song is about "The Lombardy Maid" She is covered by the branches of a tree.
In the shots where Mary is singing, I think she looks very much like the portrait of Jane Austen herself.
I met Lucy and ex husband in Mauritius in 2000 and so friendly.

Elizabeth does improve after practising at Lady Catherine's home though. But at the beginning she admits that she's not the greatest.
Приятно увидеть актеров,они как родные

Why isn’t Colin, Susanna and Jennifer in it?
When were these series of ' documentary ' made please ?
In 2005 - for a "10th anniversary" edition, US only I think. The other videos are from 1995.

@@Darcyfied So Mary's main flaw was vanity? Oh the irony... :)

@@mish375 Not sure if that is what that passage means. The offer to practice is just to showcase what an arrogant woman Lady C is.
Всё прекрасно , было бы лучше с переводом на русский !
Легче сказать, чем сделать!
