@@monikabecker4023 Hello and thank you for the like n.1000 and for letting me know. My little surprise? - If there is a piece you would like hear, let me know and I will do my best to learn it / record it. It can be - basically - whatever you want. If you could stay away of "kitchy" overplayed pieces like "Nuvole Bianche" by Einaudi (I do NOT like music of this man) and also, please do not go for some extremes like Scriabin Piano Sonata (that would take me too much time / effort). So, somewhere in the middle of this...? :) Well... pick something and I will see. I am curious. :)
@ What a really nice surprise, Dusan! So, do you like the music of John Williams? I do, especially the film score of Steven Spielberg's "Schindler´s List" or my second choice would be "Chi Mai"of the film "The Professional" composed by Ennio Morricone. Now, I am curious, what you will choose. Thank you very much!

Message to all those who ask(ed) me for "more Glass". I just started preparing his Piano Etudes. At the moment, I am learning the Book 1 - first 10 etudes. The Book 2 will follow right after. My plan is to perform it, same as to record it... EDIT: Etudes book 1 (n.1-10) - 1 hour of music by Philip Glass is now available on my channel.

+Anna Pijnappel Thank you for your very beautiful comment. I don't know so many warmer feelings than reading such a words...
One of my favorite songs. To me it relates the story of being human, from our beginning, all the way to the end. it is not a happy ending for anyone. it is a descent into darkness through pain and suffering throughout our lives.
This is hauntingly beautiful. I have always loved this piece since I saw The Hours way back when. Teaching myself to play it now and you’re an inspiration. Beautiful performance all around. ❤
No judgment, just the thrilling, complex encounter with self, once on each of this rides, a visit to a place previously unkown, so triumphant for the human spirit, Thank you.
It is more than two years, but I still remember him. Indelibly, he enrolled into the lives of everyone he meets. Amazing song and amazingly played in memory of an unforgettable man. Thank you.
This is the essence of humanity. Brilliant. Josef sounded like a wonderful person. May I be honored with such beautiful music at the end of my life. All my best.
I'm impressed. I usually don't like how people interpret Glass, apart from Batagov and Lisitsa. But this version is actually great. Good job. Only remark: watch out for your back, you hunch a lot when playing. I play the same way as you and my back and shoulders often hurt now.

@@windfishletusdream Thanks for the comment. And no worries about my back. I never have any kind of pain(s) when playing piano. In the past I had the best piano teachers I could imagine and comments from "random" people on internet, I do not take seriously. Usually, I play 1000x more difficult stuff than P. Glass and still, my aparat is absolutely ok.
Your performance was both powerful and beautiful. I've only been learning piano for a few months, but I hope to be able to play this piece like you in 10 years

With some good teacher and a little bit of patience, you should be able to play this piece much sooner than in a decade. Good luck! And thanks for the comment.
Now it will be 5 years. Still miss him. Thank you for this. You can't understand everything. That even wasn't the world he wanted. We are here to remember him and be good as he wished.

Já si ze svýho "edukačního procesu" pamatuju spoustu učitelů... Střídal jsem základky, tak kromě možná pár lidí někde na Veveří a Antonínské (3.-5. třída ZŠ), který už bych asi z hlavy ani nevylovil... si pak dál pamatuju snad všechny. ALE - jen na málo několik z nich vzpomínám opravdu často a rád a hodně. Tihle lidi mě do života ovlivnili myslím že hodně moc. Těch pár z nich. Ostatní nebyli špatní. Snad jsem měl štěstí, ale vyloženě blbý učitele jsem neměl snad nikdy. Ale stejně - těch speciálních bylo prostě pár. Věřím, že pobíhá po světě dost lidí, který na něj vzpomínaj stejně tak, jako já na těch několik svejch. Mělo jich samozřejmě bejt mnohem víc, ale to už my tady nezměníme. Díky za komentář. D.
Very beautifully done! You have an incredible dynamic in terms of how you move. It shows how passionate you are with what you play. Beautiful interpretation of this piece.
I come back to this everytime i want to listen to this song. Best I've ever heard it played. You really evoke all the emotion the song has to offer. Its quite incredible.
I just admire your expression so much when you play it's really memorising and full of passion something you never really get a chance to see these days.
I'm in my 3rd year of piano. Started learning at 29 y/o. Couldn't even read a note before that. I'm so glad I stuck with it every day 30min-1hour, I managed to play "Mad Rush" within a month in October this year. I love Philip Glass! "The Hours" seems a bit more complicated but since I've already done the "3 on 2" rythm (Mad Rush) I'm ready ahah. So relaxing after a work day... Etude n°6 is my all tim favorite but oh very hard... xD

Learning piano is a "long-term" process... But if you don't give up, it brings more and more joy as you learn more and more. There are many moments when you say "this is impossible" - some beginners struggle just playing 2 different things with 2 hands... But once it "clicks", you don't have to think about that any more. Your example - 2to3 or 3to2.... For a beginner, difficult thing to do but after a while, it becomes "fully automated" so much that you stop thinking about that. When I was a kid and I listened to piano masters playing all these concertos with orchestras, great records etc., I asked myself many times "how... how this is even possible".... Today - I can't stand most of these records and I am "bored" with them.. :D Anyway - good luck and I wish you have more and more fun with piano. Take care! (btw. Glass etudes book 1 is on my profile. Played it not long ago... Book 2, I will add somewhere soonish...)
@ Thanks for your answer! Yes, indeed, one at a time, every difficulty seems to "click" itself. That's great. I would have never have thought I could play the pieces I play now back in 2019... I like playing even more than before 🙂
Spíš než vyznání to byla narychlo "spatlaná" kondolence pro kamaráda a zejména jeho manželku (což je samozřejmě taky moje výborná známá), které zemřel bratr. A ne ledajakej. Supr-bratr. Bohužel smrt se neptá, takže minimalistickej kousek, kterej bych nemusel týdny cvičit, se hodil (tehdy jsem to zrovna hrál s jednou svou studentkou). Bylo potřeba podpory v minutách / hodinách...

Interesting rendition, you play it much slower than me in the first half. Perhaps I should try doing that, because the fast sequence of right-hand notes at 3:30 come out all muddy. Despite having played piano on and off for 10 years it's still really hard to make each note sound distinct in that sequence even when played at your tempo. Anyway, I digress. Great job!
You’re fantastic! I’ve been working on this song, and must say...it is not easy! Love the emotion you captured. There’s nothing worse than when I hear Glass played mechanically. WELL DONE!
I hope you record some more Glass Dusan - this is wonderful

Dusan, just wanted to say I've listened to all the recordings of The Hours on TH-cam and this is by far my favorite one and I listen to it often. The energy you put behind this song is amazing. Do you play any other songs from the soundtrack?
7 ปีที่แล้ว
Thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I never played any other piece from that soundtrack. This version was included in one "mixed pieces book - best of..." which I bought for one of my student.
Magnificent performance! I also noticed one this: Heifetz used to have his piano standing just like this: His back to the wall and window at the left. Is there something special about this kind of grand piano positioning?

Thank you my friend, but unfortunately that is not my place.. It is a little "garden house" which I've been using within last year sometimes to practice.. Right now, I am like dog on the street.. If I wanna touch piano, I have to bother somebody always. My own piano is sleeping in my previous flat in Prague where I don't live for 5 and half years already.. I am trying to change this, I can't be the only pianist int he world who doesn't have a piano.. But here in Holland, it sucks - in the flat which I can afford, no way to practice piano (neighbours, paper walls etc..) ... and houses where you could practice "full noise", I cannot afford unfortunately.. moneymoneymoney.. you know.. About the position of piano, I do not really know.. I just remember that sometimes, I got a bit scared while playing, when I turned to that window nd saw a black cat staring at me and hypnotizing me.. :) was really lovely there.. specially during raining.. there is a roof window where you see all the drops.., it's windy, stormy around, but you are in warm with extremely nice piano.. (I love the instrument.. very old, but charming and in great - original shape.. As I observed, probably there has not been even one string changed.. They all look original, and I have been using the piano for one year + - without necessity to be tuned.. (banging Prokofiev no. 3 concerto, Ravel concerto etc.. ;) really, unique) Thanks one more time..
Dušan Holý Oh, sad to hear that! I live in a flat myself and I can't afford having a real piano so I use my synth Casio CDP 100 with heavy keys (its not a real grand piano, but I can adjust the loudness or us headphones when I don't want to bother anyone) if real piano is hard to afford, you can definitely look for these things. The best about them is that you can always plug it to computer via midi cable and record every melody you come up with. You've got to have at least some instrument to practice on, as a guitarist who's getting older right now I can't even imagine what would happen if I'll take long pauses between my practice sessions. My hands just forget how to play (and Im not even speaking of the speed, which requires way more attentive practicing) Hope it will get better in your life, sir! You are a hell of a performer! And thanks for The Hours composition, I've never heard it before!

***** Thanks for supportive words.. Well, in my place I have old Master keyboard FATAR which my father bought like 20 years ago for me (naive that I will be praciticing in the evenings on it).. It has kind of "hammer" mechanics, and of course I can easily connect it to "Steinway Grand Piano" in Logic, but you know.. That's really for reading some notes or so, but it doesn't inspire me so much like that piece of wood with some strings and hammers on it.. About practicing, it's fine.. I am familiar with this "dog-lifestyle" and if I don't touch the piano for week(s), I can easily "move" my hands right after.. It takes one two days..Of course, worse would be, if there is something important planned.. But not for now. And I am trying to do something with that (move to other - proper house and so.. all about money of course..)
Believe it or not, we have a classical music Public Radio Station in Central TX serving San Antonio & Austex WHICH NEVER plays ANY P Glass Music....NONE! Da Pravda!!
***** Definitely not.. It's just a noise from the pedal which is very light.. This piano is 100 years old, and I think there are all the string original. - they all have the same "dust&dirt" colour.. (piano has not been played much for long long period..) Anyway - not necessary to worry about the instrument.. I have been using this instrument +- for one year, practicing Prokofiev 3rd concerto, Ravel concerto and stuff like this, and piano has survived without any "injury"...
I'm waiting for Philip Glass, The Minutes... it should be shorter. Not everything Glass wrote is fabulous, -as for Mozart.... Mozart himself was not always inspired.

Did you know this is a compilation from the movie soundtrack? It's not a "piece" for a piano.
This video is like 10+ years old and the piano wasn't mine. It was a garden house of one elderly couple where I could practice piano a few times in a week. Who knows if they are still alive and who knows what happened to the piano.

Beautiful play, really, just learning this currently. Will take this as the example.
Have fun with that!
Just browsing through my videos... stopped here for a second to reply some reactions. When I see yours again, how does it go with the piece??
@ Hey there, yes going well (I am ch vdh) thanks for asking! Still optimizing :-)
@Isa Not that difficult. You will manage, no worries. :)
He's wonderful.
Who?
@ hahaha! You! I've been listening to you for years while I write and never actually watched you. I thought you Phillip Glass playing his own work. Because of the quarantine, I've begun to watch more instead of just listen. Watching you was exactly as I imagined it to be, like a dance. Thank you for sharing your lovely work. Check out my videos on breathing if you like.
...right into the heart and my own memories. Thanks for this upload and the info. attached. The 3 dots at the beginning, meant to show that I couldn't find words to express my own feeling while hearing this.
wolkowy1 Music sometimes has this "talent" to dig somewhere deep in us...
And from my own experience, I can confirm that it can be easily multiplied by our own memories. But that's very beautiful... Strong combination.
(thanks for your comment!!)
Quelle émotion!
Muito obrigado...é o que consigo dizer...😊
Your amazing, im learning to play this at the moment.
Have fun! And thanks for the comment!
Heel indrukwekkend! Ik ben erg onder de indruk. Ik hoop het stuk ook ooit te spelen. Hoop vaker iets van je te horen. Super, proficiat!!!
I live in Den Haag at the moment. Right now, I can't invite you to any live performance. But next week, I will be filming a new video in Delft which I hope will be nice. Some classical and also more modern music. Thanks for the comment!
Dude, I'm so into it!
Amazing. Beautiful tone from the piano, you've clearly played it a long time. Bravo
In 2014 (when I uploaded this video), it was already over 25 years of me sitting behind the piano. "The Hours" run quickly... unstoppably. Now I'm reaching 31st year of playing.
Thanks for your comment.
Best performance on youtube.
I broke up today. Not easy but…. The hours... Ohh always the hours…
Sorry to hear that. I dunno which words would be best to say, so I better let you listen to the music.
Breathtaking
Thank you..., but I hope you haven't lost your breath completely.
@ It would take, if I had one :)
@@katherinefaber862 OK... don't panic!!! Breathe slowly... and deeply: in .... and out.... in.... and out.... (repeat)
@ And repeat that for hours? And the hours after that!
@@katherinefaber862 if you promise to me that you don't get stuck forever, than ok. I might upload something else in the future and I would not like you to miss it....
Interesting rendition, you play it much slower than me in the first half. Perhaps I should try doing that, because the fast sequence of right-hand notes at 3:30 come out all muddy. Despite having played piano on and off for 10 years it's still really hard to make each note sound distinct in that sequence even when played at your tempo. Anyway, I digress. Great job!
You’re fantastic! I’ve been working on this song, and must say...it is not easy! Love the emotion you captured. There’s nothing worse than when I hear Glass played mechanically. WELL DONE!
Thank you...! I would leave MIDI for computers.
Agreed.Best rendition! Anyone has the score?
I hope you record some more Glass Dusan - this is wonderful
At some point, I will do for sure. Thanks!
Currently learning his etudes. Started with book 1 but I will continue with book 2 right after. Gonna record it in studio quality, I hope... once I learned it.
@ Good news, indeed. Thank you.
@@007EnglishAcademy Etudes (book 1) are on my channel now.
@ Can't wait to check it out. Many thanks.
Always the love.... Always The Hours....
Hi Dusan. Thank you for sharing this beautiful, moving, amazing rendition for this piece. I have plans to play it. Hope you don't mind but I liked to use your interpretation as a basis for myself. Best regards.
Hi... I definitely don´t mind at all. I am happy that my record brings you an inspiration. Good luck and have fun with the piece. D.
Dusan, just wanted to say I've listened to all the recordings of The Hours on TH-cam and this is by far my favorite one and I listen to it often. The energy you put behind this song is amazing. Do you play any other songs from the soundtrack?
Thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I never played any other piece from that soundtrack. This version was included in one "mixed pieces book - best of..." which I bought for one of my student.
Each note was a volunteer.
Magnificent performance!
I also noticed one this: Heifetz used to have his piano standing just like this: His back to the wall and window at the left. Is there something special about this kind of grand piano positioning?
Thank you my friend, but unfortunately that is not my place.. It is a little "garden house" which I've been using within last year sometimes to practice.. Right now, I am like dog on the street.. If I wanna touch piano, I have to bother somebody always. My own piano is sleeping in my previous flat in Prague where I don't live for 5 and half years already.. I am trying to change this, I can't be the only pianist int he world who doesn't have a piano.. But here in Holland, it sucks - in the flat which I can afford, no way to practice piano (neighbours, paper walls etc..) ... and houses where you could practice "full noise", I cannot afford unfortunately.. moneymoneymoney.. you know..
About the position of piano, I do not really know.. I just remember that sometimes, I got a bit scared while playing, when I turned to that window nd saw a black cat staring at me and hypnotizing me.. :) was really lovely there.. specially during raining.. there is a roof window where you see all the drops.., it's windy, stormy around, but you are in warm with extremely nice piano.. (I love the instrument.. very old, but charming and in great - original shape.. As I observed, probably there has not been even one string changed.. They all look original, and I have been using the piano for one year + - without necessity to be tuned.. (banging Prokofiev no. 3 concerto, Ravel concerto etc.. ;) really, unique)
Thanks one more time..
Dušan Holý Oh, sad to hear that! I live in a flat myself and I can't afford having a real piano so I use my synth Casio CDP 100 with heavy keys (its not a real grand piano, but I can adjust the loudness or us headphones when I don't want to bother anyone) if real piano is hard to afford, you can definitely look for these things. The best about them is that you can always plug it to computer via midi cable and record every melody you come up with. You've got to have at least some instrument to practice on, as a guitarist who's getting older right now I can't even imagine what would happen if I'll take long pauses between my practice sessions. My hands just forget how to play (and Im not even speaking of the speed, which requires way more attentive practicing)
Hope it will get better in your life, sir! You are a hell of a performer!
And thanks for The Hours composition, I've never heard it before!
***** Thanks for supportive words.. Well, in my place I have old Master keyboard FATAR which my father bought like 20 years ago for me (naive that I will be praciticing in the evenings on it).. It has kind of "hammer" mechanics, and of course I can easily connect it to "Steinway Grand Piano" in Logic, but you know.. That's really for reading some notes or so, but it doesn't inspire me so much like that piece of wood with some strings and hammers on it.. About practicing, it's fine.. I am familiar with this "dog-lifestyle" and if I don't touch the piano for week(s), I can easily "move" my hands right after.. It takes one two days..Of course, worse would be, if there is something important planned.. But not for now. And I am trying to do something with that (move to other - proper house and so.. all about money of course..)
play more Glass please.
I will do... Thanks for the support.
Etudes (book 1) are now on my channel...
Believe it or not, we have a classical music Public Radio Station in Central TX serving San Antonio & Austex WHICH NEVER plays ANY P Glass Music....NONE! Da Pravda!!
I believe you...
I remember playing that at a recital. Fun piece. The biggest challenge is playing it from memory.
Great execution. What kind of piano is that?
It's written in the info. This is app 100 years old Feurig piano. Very nice instrument. I used to practice on it time to time, couple years ago.
Does anyone know which one of these piano sequences is played in the train station scene 'the hours train small'.
Remindes me on Birdy....
I have no idea what or who do you mean by that. Never heard about Birdy.
@ yust put on google.It is female songwriter...dutch/belgian origin.Yust recognise some mood and notes...but, we all hear and see on ouer on wey😊👍👋
I wish be her neighbor
Her??? I can't see any "girl". I can only see myself and I can approve, I am definitely a man. 😁
@ hahahahaha, you’re right I’m learning english, sorry for that.
I ment I wish be your neighbor ❤️
i think you lost an string at 4:17 ;)
***** Definitely not.. It's just a noise from the pedal which is very light..
This piano is 100 years old, and I think there are all the string original. - they all have the same "dust&dirt" colour.. (piano has not been played much for long long period..) Anyway - not necessary to worry about the instrument.. I have been using this instrument +- for one year, practicing Prokofiev 3rd concerto, Ravel concerto and stuff like this, and piano has survived without any "injury"...
Very interesting, would love to see a "review" video of piano itself as well.
btw, don't know if said, very well played!
don't fly away, but ist a nice pice
I'm waiting for Philip Glass, The Minutes... it should be shorter. Not everything Glass wrote is fabulous, -as for Mozart.... Mozart himself was not always inspired.
Did you know this is a compilation from the movie soundtrack? It's not a "piece" for a piano.
You need to tune your piano
This video is like 10+ years old and the piano wasn't mine. It was a garden house of one elderly couple where I could practice piano a few times in a week.
Who knows if they are still alive and who knows what happened to the piano.
You have to optimize the rhythm, pulse, accents, and accentuations. There's no sense of the rhythm, you lost timing at 4:25.
Yes... Rhythm was always a problem for me. I struggle pretty much with keeping a good rhythm. But I will work on it, I promise. Thanks for your advice!
