I learned this formidable piece for my last recital before graduating. I was adequate, but I now know I missed the point of the piece! I didn't draw the audience into the story. Listening to this master class, I found the student very well prepared and ready for this greater challenge by Mr. Perahia to find an overarching "architecture" to this piece---a word hated by my beloved teacher---but in this instance, makes the musical sense mold together into a great body of emotional statement. What I would give to go back in time and present this piece to Mr. Perahia. He makes it all into a marvelous story that is thrilling to hear. And kudos to the student who was so well-prepared and gracious under such a challenge as performing for a master while he wrote copious notes! That would've scared me to death.. I hope it changed her perception of shaping and---as Mr. Andre Watts once said---telling the story. I'm so grateful this is on TH-cam, not only for this student ready to take a next step in transforming her artistry, but for all of us who want to learn more. Thank you, Mr. Perahia, and a huge thanks also to the Jerusalem Music Centre for sharing this on TH-cam. .
Does anyone realize how nerve wracking playing in front of people then being critiqued live, having to make corrections on the spot, is? She's fantastic. He sees her potential or else he wouldn't be so insistent.
Anyone that can play through pieces of this caliber has potential but making it at a professional level is like being in an nba. Not enough room for everyone with just potential. But honestly playing in front of people and being critiqued is literally the job. In this scenario it’s much more low stakes and you get the privilege of working with someone of this caliber as well.
I'm so envious of the students at the JMC. What I wouldn't do for a master class with the AMZING and Brilliant Professor Perahia. She is outstanding, at least to my inexperienced ear. I have a long way to go, before I'd be good enough to sit beside and be critiqued by him. I hope they realize what an extraordinary honour it is.
That was brutal. Good, but brutal. Two very sensitive and capable pianists side by side giving us an instructive peek into the difficult process of becoming a musician. Bravo to all involved!
she didn't understand what he meant "4 and 5"; she was nervous, and who wouldn't be? It took me a long time to learn (on my own) that when you learn fingering, at some point you have to synthesize prescribed fingering with a natural and somewhat intuitive approach, which sometimes means reinforcing a finger (particularly a weaker one like 5) with another, I suppose usually its neighbor. When you're so accustomed to obediently following a teacher (or fingering in your edition), it seems reckless or taboo to actually do just what works. Often the published fingering must be followed exactly because it has an underlying musical point about phrasing or articulation, but other times it is just a suggestion or idea that can and must be overridden by the particularities of the pianist's hand and even energy or inspiration in the moment of performance. Distinguishing these kinds of cases and knowing how and when to act on them is one of the most important aspects of learned musical experience. Reinforcing a finger with another is rarely indicated in a score, but it should be in every pianist's technique.
Es fehlt eine inhaltliche Logik des beschiebenen Ereignisses: ein Scherzo könnte eine Kabaretszene bedeuten. Am Anfang 2 Fragen und eine forsche Antwort darauf. Später karikiert pathetische Sätze von Publikumsgelächter gefolgt. Deutlicher aufzeigen, was zu was inhaltlich gehört. Nicht immer gleiche Pausen zwischen Elementen, das macht keinen Sinn des Zusammenhangs.
@@firephilosopher7645 Yes, roughly speaking Shapiro should take Perahia’s glasses and introduce them on his mouth. After she can shake Perahia’s head up and down till he swallow…
Would have thought it a bit distracting to have him leaning forward and making notes - you'd be thinking "oh what did I do there"! And if he wants to make notes - a good idea - why not get into a more comfortable position?
Let us know when you, great master, are ready to perform such a piece in front of Mr. Perahia. I learned a lot watching this and really appreciate all the work she put into learning, performing, and master classing this piece. Alma is a great pianist.@@wot_hog

I played this for my 3rd year recital at university. It was indeed a challenge! A wonderful work!
Certainly a formidable piece!!
Murray Perahia is a such a brilliant musician and it is so evident in his teaching.
And a kind and gracious teacher!😊

Yeah but what makes me upset is that she doesn’t stop playing when the maestro speaks, that’s rude
Agreed

Yes….some of us had the chance to live it.. no it’s not fun…
This is the part I missed the least……..

This is gold.
wow! such a great pianist☺ 🌺🌷
Thank you once again for uploading these
Murray is the man

She is so good🤩 amazing playing
lol he’s straight forward I love it. It’s nerve wrecking to play in front of an audience though, so I give credit where credit is due. She’s great!!
Extraordinary teaching! What happened to the microphone at 23:40? It suddenly opened!
Wow this piece is such a beast.
Am I going crazy, or is this not dissimilar to a section of Brahams 2nd piano concerto?!
12:48 - 12:52 What a fitting remark by Chopin ! =:D
Good.👍
女孩技术上的欠缺使她很难完全做出培拉西亚的要求，有技术不等于可以成为大师，但没有足够技术的支撑在当前时代是不可能成为大师的。
Applaus nun haben wir wieder nach Geklimpert🤦🏻😆🤦🏻
"Is there any way you can do it legato?" lol rekt
Lmao, I think he specifically meant finger legato, but I lol'ed at that part too!

Her coda is a little bit too slow for the whole piece general tempo, kinda fall apart at the end.
I always thought that master classes are a kind of tyranny…
If I was Shapiro, Perahia should eat his glasses 😂😂
Eat his glasses? Are we supposed to know what that means?

She is overmatched by this piece. Regrettably, she simply does not possess the technical wherewithal to handle this composition.
If only she were in some type of class...a class, perhaps...taught by a master of some kind?
@@godluckNgoodspeed Lamentably, outclassed! 😉
This is not a recital. It's a masterclass.
That is not a judgment you can legitimately make and it doesn't concern you. You demoralizing hard working people doesn't make the world better.
Let us know when you, great master, are ready to perform such a piece in front of Mr. Perahia. I learned a lot watching this and really appreciate all the work she put into learning, performing, and master classing this piece. Alma is a great pianist.@@wot_hog
Total zerhackt gespielt......gefällt mir nicht.
