Written for one solo pianist but with 3 voices, this is an ideal piece to play by two performers at one keyboard. It is much trickier as a solo than it sounds, with many sideways leaps and one of the 3 voices split between 2 hands. Many top flight Pianists use it as an encore.
Desde mi punto de vista así es como se debe tocar, con todo el sentimiento, con toda la delicadeza de una melodía que traspasa toda la belleza de este mundo y te transporta a otros mundos en donde sólo existe el Amor, la Felicidad... Gracias, gracias, gracias!
I'm a big fan of you two. I'm glad I found this piece. So beautiful!! I love watching ballet and I recognize this music is used for George Balanchine's Chaconne. Piano version is even more beautiful! Please play more ballet music!!
Just when I thought everything's wrong about the day... I did the right thing by clicking on you guys' TH-cam. Anyway, the performance in singapore was amazing. I was there. Circle seat.
I love romantic-drippy music, and this melody played in that spirit is beautiful. All the piano interpretations of this piece are the transcription of Giovanni Sgambati who died in 1941, therefore ultra-romantic, and beautiful as such. Even Rachmaninoff tried it. But as a "baroque" musician I always have a problem with these versions of early music "remastered" by romanticism. I have the same problem with the Busoni version of the chaconne in D minor by JS Bach. Listen to Yuja Wang, it's dazzling... certainly... but immerse yourself in Bach's original version, forget the useless noisy virtuosity, take the time to let this music penetrate you, haunt you day and night, because it is all about death... and you will understand my words: we rise to a divine, cosmic level. So to come back to Gluck, I myself played (theorbo) this opera (original version) last summer with a baroque orchestra, and when this melody rose, with a simple recorder, some viols and a harpsichord, I cried... The funniest part of the story is that Gluck was the first composer to go to war against interpretations with excessive ornamentation of the opera of the time: indeed, in Italy in particular, the great divas (castra in the lead) were huge stars and competed with endless ornaments to show off... one day Gluck heard this and barely recognized his own music. Furious, he began to write scores where each ornament, each intonation was noted, and COMPULSORY, with prohibition to play anything else. We have thus gone from baroque musical notation, very free and open to improvisation, to "classical" notation where everything is indicated.
It's so easy to play like that, once you start practicing, it only takes time ! Biggest obstacle is having a decent piano, if you do, the rest is beyond easy.
A good rendering but I recommend listening to it without looking at the pianists, unless you want to throw up. Musicians that feel the need to show everyone how sensitive they are are not worth watching.
Yes, I tend to agree. I like an emotional performance, but this a little too much. He looks at her with a really unsettling "hunger". I felt I was imposing when I was watching them, but nevertheless the sound is beautiful.
Exquisite... Tears... Joyous... My heart... is absolutely full. Gratitude for experiencing your lovely music. Thank you.

Hey look pick it up again, in 20 years you will be all set.

If you really want, age doesn't matter. You can do it.
Zaid HEEYY!!!! It is hard to feel emotions and play well. Can you play as well? Humph!
Zaid the piano doesn’t matter!!!
Bellissimo brano! Dove si può trovare lo spartito per pianoforte a 4 mani??
Serene

Ballet ? Оpera.
