    Can't the catering people be a little less noisy? And walking around around with a camera is also distracting. And the phone ringing, and the drinking and phone scrolling. I know it's a class and this is a student, but i still think the same respect should be given.

      I suspected she has perfect pitch because of the way she plays piano. Up to 11% of professional musicians have perfect pitch, at her level it might be expected, although i'm not sure about this one.

I would have personally asked for a moment and asked people to either sit and kindly give their attention or to please leave. It’s such a golden opportunity to sit with a world class pianist. They obviously have no idea who she is if they can be doing all of that in the background.

    unfortunately she knows very little about organ, and all she says is partly technically incorrect, partly musically unfounded.Let a student play for a quarter of an hour, and then giving such a superficial "lecture", what should it bring it to him?

      Thank you for your comment. I like your example about organ, however your point related to tempo is not accurate, as even if we referred to the old editions - such as Forkel we cannot be certain about J.S. Bach’s intentions. If you go to those ancient manuscripts, there are not even tempo indications.

    Entschuldigen alles Sie.. Aber Ich sage (Future) für alles Sie im Português brasileiro.. my mother language: Esta master class certamente torna-se (werden) à medida que aquilo que se queria transmitir (the message forward) encontra-se límpida.. sem ruídos e cristalina. Entretanto, (Leider) for example, o J. S. Bach teórico evidentemente difere das performances não apenas contemporaneamente.. tal fato sempre ocorreu no decorrer da história das sociedades. E por quê? Há um brocado romano que diz: onde houver sociedade, ali também estará o Direito! Por conseguinte, o Direito surge como instrumento de apaziguamento social.. às vezes, impōe-se de modo coercitivo (Escrevo todas estas coisas em consideraçāo à Valentina Lisitsa) .. Destarte, sempre houve nas sociedades grupos de pessoas contendo interesse opostos aos Mecenas, isto é, fomentar no seio de outras camadas sociais a "Guerra gratuita" com o fim e propósito de impedir o desenvolvimento das capacidades das demais pessoas.. na visāo destes, a "miserabilidade alheia" é fundamental com vistas à lucratividade. Todas estas coisas que eu mencionei sāo depreendidas desta Masterclass com todos os elementos que a integram. Souza Filho. Serra Sede ES BRAZIL -3 Greenwisch in 2023.03.10 at 9.47 p.m.

      You mean, she supports putin for defending her country (which is common sense and the obviously right thing to do). Its not an invasion. U.S.A started the war. By puting all the countries surrounding next to russia into NATO which is basicaly an american military base. Having MLRS and S-300 anti-missile weaponry which can counter nuclear bombs before they get to be armed or reach max velocity, due to the very close distance of the military base (NATO) to russia.
      Basicaly they are surrounding russia with missles and weapons and they tried to put Ukraine (that history has shown that it is part of Russia) too under the control of america. So when a war starts, its an instant win for U.S.A. And ofcourse all the media is american propaganda, and the facts that america presents that supposedly ukraine is winning the war are completely false. Douglas McGraigor himself an AMERICAN military official said that its the complete opposite but dont take his word for it. Watch the war maps from I.S.W which is straight from the U.S pentagon and the Wagner group war map. And see for yourself. Also they sent england to bomb the Nord Stream canal that fed 40% of europe's energy. No one is talking about that. Also there are 54 countries involved in the war, providing weapons to the Ukrainians, puting gas in the fire. Like its any of their business to stuck their nose in and create more war fronts and prolong the war. Puting said he is always open for discussion, and the war doesnt have to go on. But zelenski, bows his head to the U.S and ignores half a milion casualties and 19 million refugees.
      If russia did the same to America how would America react? Dont forget that america wages war everywhere every time. The only U.S president that didnt do war was Trump in which Trump himself said that the votes had been falsified and then Biden got to power.
      Imagine being in your home and each day, when you look out the window, one more canon is pointed at your house, to the day that you get outside and you are surrounded.
      That is exactly what america does to Russia. And history has shown that its in its character to things like that (vietnam, korean war, WW2, Iran-iraq, Cuba, Libye and much much more)
      America started the war, Putin is defending his nation. And thats it

      According to medias Lisista is guilty of having played "soviet hymns from the times of Patriotic War" in Mariupol but no one points to the fact that the Patriotic War is Russia defending from Napoleon invasion in 1812 while Soviet Union was founded in 1922. But who cares about 100 years gap between, is just one more example of truth against propaganda.
      Personally I would find pathetic if she used this war to promote her career, by joining the Russia bashing pack, like Kissin, Malofeev, Petrenko and many others.
      Who became what they are because of Russian education mainly and now they forgot and being ungrateful.
