I enjoyed every single moment of it. I will not only mention how beautifully it’s been played which is obvious, I will not only mention how beautiful the piece is composed but understanding every detail in it and preparing it like a great meal with all the recipes in it, and how you deliver it to people as a project is also exceptional as art. I fall into every second of it. Emre, I’m proud of you! Thanks for doing this. Wish this project goes bigger like a BBC documentary. It reminds me of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos in a way how he explains life in Science, you do in Music!
Apart from the video essay, which is great, I've liked a lot the British taste I've gotten from your pronunciation. Thank you very much I hope the channel grows bigger and bigger soon.
A superb video for the ones that are willing to flourish their understanding of piano interpretation, the Rachmaninoff performance was as spectacular. And of course, waiting for more Liszt!
You are the only pianist beside Rachmaninov himself who truly understands this piece. This is an angry, violent and very heart-retching/wrenching explosion of emotions. The fact that it begins with angry/frighten left hand is meant to alert the listener that that a cataclysmic violent storm is approaching. When the storm is directly overhead one realizes that the person is in the center of this recalcitrant and tumultuous event is not one made of wind, rain and violent lightening in the physical world but is encapsulated completely within flesh and bones and is the very soul struggling to maintain their very sanity. I know when I listen to this piece I feel a tug of war between life and death. My soul feels like it is a rag doll in the mouth of a violent vicious monstrous dog trashing me about slamming me against and between giant granite boulders. This is the quintessential and most definitive explanation and interpretation of third greatest piece of music written for the piano in human history.
I have a feeling that this video is about to save my life practicing this piece. I've been working on this piece for a long time without being able to reach a comfortable level now here comes your video :D
Very happy to have found your video as I’m working on this piece right now. First of all, great interpretation! You put a lot of nuance into this and you balance restraint and crazy so well compared to many pianists who will go all loud and fast. Second, many thanks for your thorough analysis. Interpretations will always differ but you point out so many of the levers and parameters to play with to make this piece of music your own. All the best!
Thank you Nicholas for your message which was very interesting to read and very motivating as well. I'm glad you appreciated the restraint and crazy balance. And I agree, this piece is usually played loudly all through which takes away the power of contrast between a variety of emotions. I wish you best of luck
Emre Hocam , her videonuzda var olan kalitenizi bir üst noktaya taşıyorsunuz. Yine olağanüstü bir üslup ile anlatmışsınız.O kadar derinden çalıp anlatmışsınız ki eseri beynimde orkestrasyon olarak duydum. Fırtınan arasından beraber melodiyi söyleyen obua ve duduk, savaş mağduru yaylılar ve bakır nefesliler ... bir sonraki videoyu büyük bir iştahla bekliyorum. Böyle bir sanatçıya sahip olduğumuz için çok şanslı hissediyorum..Sevgilerimle...
Fahrettin bu samimi ve güzel mesajin için çok teşekkür ederim. Ne güzel şeyler canlanmış kafanda, dolayısıyla ne mutlu bana! Bundan sonra inşallah daha sık ve daha güzel kayıtlarla devam edeceğim, çok sevindim yazdıklarına:)
Good advice and great playing. My nephew is graduating in piano studies. He told me he was going to play in a recital, that this was the piece and he was going to "do something". (I am also a pianist) I worried he'd get in trouble since he skirts the edges but he assured me it was an exhibition. He stormed through this piece with his usual bravura then repeated the last page at half speed, accenting the thumb of the left hand on the downward triplets. The face of his principal teacher was, as they say, a study! LOL He took a quick bow grinning ear to ear.
Ha ha such lovely things to hear from a pianist! The usual bravura seems like a nice quality to play this piece so sounds like it was a good performance :) Thank you for your lovely comment and best regards :)
You know the song is a beast when you can make a near 25 minutes video on just the play style of a 3 minute song. Great video and wonderfully played. Beyond the structure and editing of the video, Your descriptions such as “agitated and sorrowful duet” or your explanations such as how you group certain notes as they would be sung in the shower help me contextualize the notes while I’m playing this song.
Loved it from start to finish. So insightful and inspiring, with such a poignant interpretation. Your channel deserves many more viewers. I shared your video with all friends and family.
Thank you so very much. I really appreciate all that you wrote and you having shared with friends and family. I will be back with many more pieces very soon!
@@EmreSenSecrectOfMusic I absolutely love your interpretation of this piece and look forward to learn this... Currently I'm working on the Rachmaninoff Prelude op32 no10.
i love how u use similes and comparisons to express the emotion topped with technical music theory. This was like a masterclass for me and now i find this previously difficult piece relatively easy, thanks to you : ) Besides mentioning that ur interpretation and tempo u played with was so good. it's another interpretation besides Lugansky that i love
Merci infiniment ! Je travaille ce morceau et j'ai pris des notes :)) Vos explications sont d'une grande clarté, et votre interprétation magnifique !!!
Gerçekten harika, eseri hem çalıp yorumlamanız hem sözlü bir şekilde yorumlamanız, farklı bir ufuk sunuyor insanın önüne, diyebileceğim tek şey umarım ve umarım devamı gelir, Rachmaninoff C Sharp minör Op.3 No.2 bu eseri de bambaşka. Umarım devam edersiniz. 🙏
Bravo bravo bravo!!! Amazing analysis and such a waterfall of authentic and clear ideas!! I loved the final result on your interpretation and I can’t wait to include all your thoughts into my performance in preparation for my LTCL Diploma. Thank you!!!
Amazing!! Your performance & interpretation are just great and I like your tempo that every notes were heard clearly. This lesson seems like a special movie that could be dedicate to Rachmaninoff! Thanks!!
Harika, her zamanki gibi. Kalmadı efenim sizi gibi cesur solistler. ☺️ 11-12 yıl önce Bursa Bölge Devlet Senfoni Orkestrası ile Tchaikovsky konçerto sonrası bu eseri bis olarak yorumlamıştınız. Canlı olarak dinleme şansına erişmiş kişilerden biriyim ve çok şanslıyım. Buradaki sunumlarınız ise kolay ulaşamayacağımız muhteşem dersler. Teşekkürler. Sağlıcakla kalın. 🙏
Hey! Thank you:) It is my upright piano at home which is a Yamaha YUS3. If you meant the piano I played the piece, it is Fazioli in a recording studio in Istanbul
Where can I get the sheet music? I feel like my free online one is missing notes because I see a lot more being played than what my sheet music tells me too.
Hi Emre , Thank you for such a beautiful performance. Hope you can help me to explain about the last measure in page 5 ( messure 48) In this measure I can not find 4/4 in right hand for the note with up right stems .
Elinize sağlık öncelikle . Tempoyla istediğimiz gibi oynayip surekli değişken bir metrenom hissiyle calmak yorumun bir parcasi olabilir mi? Yoksa net ve akici bir tempoyu bastan sona surdurmek mi dogru?
Teşekkür ederim. Tempoyu neredeyse hiç bir eserde metronom sabitliğiyle tutamıyoruz yani evet yorumun bir parçası tempoyla oynamalar yapmak. Esere, stile ve bestecinin yaşadığı döneme göre değişebiliyor bunun oranı. Net ve akıcı bir tempo içinde belli oynamalar yapmak tıpkı konuşurken yaptığımız gibi bir doğallık ve akıcılık sağlayabiliyor. Tabi bu konuşmadaki gibi kişiden kişiye değişiyor. Kimi çok ağdalandırır, lafı dolandırır, kimi de kuru veya kaba kalır. O misal :)
Супер браво! Игра сеткая, без суеты, выигрывает все, четкие аккорды, руки не расходчтся, а как бы сливаются аоедино, что естественно отражается на качестве игры этого шикарнейшего рохманиновского шедевра. Браво профессионалу, безусловно.
İyi bir piyanist ve iyi bir öğretmen olabilirsiniz.Ancak Emre Şen olamazsınız.Bunun için tevazu sahibi bir bilge de olmanız gerek.Emre the Magnificient.
Onu çok sonra dinledim açıkçası. Biraz farklı yaklaşıyoruz esere. Süper çalıyor tabi kuşkusuz. Çocukken Ayşegül Sarıca'dan ilhamlanmıştım tv'de 4 moment musical çalmıştı..
@@EmreSenSecrectOfMusic What?! you responded! I downloaded your Op 16 No 4 to my allle music playlist. But I love your dynamics when you play this piece. A lot of composers keep it fast and brash because in my head I picture a violent storm when I hear this piece so I understand why other famous composers play it like that. But it definitely adds life when you play soft and some points but still jeep that violent storm effect. Well played
I never thought a pianist could have such a distinctive way of playing with soul and passion!
Thank you so much for these lovely words!
I had the same reaction. He should write poetry as well as perform and teach.
I enjoyed every single moment of it.

Tolga I really appreciate all that you wrote, experienced and shared here. You really made my day my friend! Thank you so much...:)
You’re the only pianist who played THAT bit in the right hand so softly and emotionally expressive! Applause!👏
I am glad you picked that up:) Thank you!
I have heard many interpretation of this piece, but this one made me tear up, what an amazing and unique playing!
I thought my favourite interpretation of the piece was by Lugansky, but then I heard your version. Very nice!
Thank you very much. Happy to hear it! :)
Apart from the video essay, which is great, I've liked a lot the British taste I've gotten from your pronunciation. Thank you very much I hope the channel grows bigger and bigger soon.
Thank you very much for your nice words :) I will try to post more regularly, which I think will help it grow... all best:)
Bravo sir, bravo, this is quite possibly the most musical interpretation of this piece that I have hear on TH-cam-bravo!
dude your interpretation was so unique in the good way, i really like it!
@@innuendo8289 thank you! Feels good to hear that
A superb video for the ones that are willing to flourish their understanding of piano interpretation, the Rachmaninoff performance was as spectacular. And of course, waiting for more Liszt!
Thank you very much Lisztomaniac :) I would love to include some Liszt after 24 Etudes of Chopin, which I will record next month.
Emre Sen It’s my pleasure!
Note: It’d be wonderful to see a cycle of videos on Liszt’s Annees de Pelerinage or Mephisto Waltzes.
@@lisztomani4c Mephisto Waltz it is then :)
I had a tear down my cheek watching and hearing your interpretation of this piece!!! Thank you!
WOW I am really happy to read your comment, thank you very much:)
Thanks! Your "Rachmaninoff"performance made my day! (He is my favorite composer in Western Classical music for all the time....)...
