Wonderful as always. Erudite, full of love, eager to share his insights with the public. And yet such humility and graciousness. How blessed we are to have him especially in such an intimate one-on-one virtual setting. 👍❤️
Sir Andras Schiff is one of the greatest musicians alive today, not only for his extensive knowledge of Bach's music, but for his musical vision in general ,and his enormous ability to appreciate the beauty of art. I agree with him in saying that Bach is the greatest composer who ever lived. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary video.
I have come to learn Bach and find joy in playing his music. I am indebted to all involved in this project for showing where to start and experience the work of Bach as a multi-sensorial exercise that inspires life long learning.
I listened to and enjoyed Bach without understanding much of his music. However, the more I learn about it, the more I love his compositions. I am very grateful to András Schiff for making some of his knowledge available to the public.
Ich habe die Inventition Nr. 1 gerade gelernt. Nun an der 2. Ich muss sagen, dass die Anforderungen wirklich hoch sind. Die Nr. 2 stellt noch einmal ganz andere Anforderungen als die 1. Es führt mich an die Grenzen und ist nicht leicht aber ich packe es
@@hfuchs1602 Ich muss zugeben, dass es mich fast "freut", wenn Sie erwähnen, dass die Anforderungen hoch sind. Nicht aus Schadenfreude, Beileibe nicht, sondern zu meiner Beruhigung, dass ich mit meinen Schwierigkeiten nicht alleine sein werde ...! Ich bin auf einen noch viel tieferen Niveau, und an die Inventionen werde ich mich wohl eher gegen Ende meines Lebens wagen können. Aber es ist mein Traumziel, eines Tages auch in diese Literatur eintauchen zu können. Ich habe spät (mit 55 Jahren) angefangen, mir Klavier beizubringen. Da habe ich J.S. Bach "entdeckt". Und ich bin zur Überzeugung gekommen, dass ich für den Rest meines Lebens nichts anderes mehr spielen werde als Bach. Klavierpädagogisch mag das problematisch sein, aber für mich und meinen Weg mit der Musik ist es klar: Alles andere ist für mich eine Zeitverschwendung. Diese Musik ist so unglaublich perfekt und so himmlisch schön zu spielen - keine andere Literatur erfüllt mich so sehr wie J.S. Bach. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Erfolg auf Ihrem Klavierweg! A.

Because in this life just a few things could be called as timeless, bach music is transcendent, why? Because it has passed so long time and new generations still being touched by his music, and it would take more than an entire life to know all his works there so many an they all are too good to be true, but it is true thanks Bach
That's exactly the point, my dear: The music of J.S. Bach is that much perfect and divine to my ears and soul, that I never get tired of playing even only two bars for 3 times half an hour each day and this for 6 weeks in a row. So I play his music over and over and over again, and feel myself evolve into this eternal realm of beauty and perfection. J.S. Bach's music can become a way of life. It certainly has become mine.

This guy is a blessing for all us music lovers 💙
One couldn't express it better: a blessing, indeed.
Not a blessing for struggling pianists trying to do similar 😮
@@ciararespect4296 ahí tienes la importancia de un buen maestro, muchos ánimos y disfruta cuando estudies, el resultado es mucho más rápido.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Einführung, Herr Schiff. Bach ist mein Lieblingskomponist, aber ich hatte nie irgendeine Idee von diesen Inventionen.
Herr Schiff gives us a very worthy masterclass.

I L O V E the lectures by András Schiff. They have as high a quality as his playing!

2023 was the 300th year of the Inventions being published - though i never noticed this really acknowledged
Excellent stuff, it's such a joy to hear him talk about and play this music.
A master class as an overview of this great teaching piece.
Great lesson.wish my teacher would have given me these insteadvof the vwellpemper claver. Thanks tovyou Andres
"We should never give up - hope"
So funny when someone like Mr.Schiff says this :-)
Thanks maestro.
Wonderful introduction to the 2 & 3 part inventions by the gentleman of the keyboard.
It s a privilege watching this video, many txs
A master on the Master!
I love his lectures
very nice insights from der Meister
Thank you very much!!!
what a great video! thanks for sharing this:) is this also available somewhere with better audio quality?
What range did the clavichord have?
Usually 4-1/2 octaves from C - F3. So it can play everything in the Well Tempered Clavier.
Thank you.
so good
More!😊👍
Sir Andras Schiff, please 😊
It should be "passus duriusculus" and "stretto", not "stretta" ;-)
Hahahhaha
🙄😆🙄🤦🏻
still not amused to play Bach on a piano, its became fast tinkling
Why master? we mortals don't deserve your wisdom.

This guy should learn to play jazz。Where's the beef of playing the same sheep music up and down the entire life ???

What are you talking about? Did you accidentally click on this video perhaps?
Wer Bachs Musik als Schafsmusik bezeichnet, disqualifiziert sich selbst.
You have a point - but Bach's music remains the greatest ever written. Maybe that's a better point in favor of still playing such music.
That's exactly the point, my dear: The music of J.S. Bach is that much perfect and divine to my ears and soul, that I never get tired of playing even only two bars for 3 times half an hour each day and this for 6 weeks in a row. So I play his music over and over and over again, and feel myself evolve into this eternal realm of beauty and perfection. J.S. Bach's music can become a way of life. It certainly has become mine.
Spettacolo assoluto anche in inglese perche la musica non ha origine dalle parole. Commovente .
