@@fredericchopin7538 there are many things that many pianists don’t find when learning the pieces like certain voicings and such that won’t be heard unless played a certain way, so I agree with you too a certain degree. I believe the mood of how the piece is played can be changed in according to the pianist. But there are certain things that I feel MUST be included to get the originality of the piece. For example, those voicings that can’t be found unless played a certain way.

nah man if a piece is recorded by the composer u wont be able to hear millions of different interpretation all being beautiful in their own way but if its recorded those beautiful interpretation would be considered wrong therefore listening to other pianist playing the same piece wouldnt be a thing and it would also kinda ruin it therefore i humbly deny ur verdict

but yes it is lucky to hear rachmaninoff play

@pharmacist1288

8y↑63

When you play a piece, you should be expressive in the way you play. By that I mean to add your own "color" to the piece, to make it perhaps even more beautiful. This was more common practice during the Romantic period of music, the 19th century, but this has faded with the rise of the Contemporary period, the 20th and 21st century. The performing musician should not be a strict servant of the composer, but should be more independent and creative.

@alicraftserveur

8y↑26

+Geopard Gloveclove Yes, I know that, it's just the first time I can actually feel those 'colors' among all the too-few music I've heard so far... And I have to admit, as a pianist myself, I don't think I could stand playing without feelings, without that 'color' anymore, ever since I discovered how it feels to pour your soul into your music...

I personally came here because of Rachmaninoff, but I think it's great that TV shows and movies are introducing classical music to more and more people. So, I honestly don't get why some people are so snobby and condescending towards those who have been exposed to classical music through a TV show or movie they liked.

If you're one of those condescending people, stop. You'll only make "Your Lie In April" fans view the classical-music community as snobby, and you'll only drive them away from this wonderful music (and, ironically, you'll probably be dumbfounded as to why more young people don't listen to classical music). Just be happy that a platform like that has introduced so many young people to this amazing genre of music.

@justintime2026

5y↑54

I don't think people are getting annoyed by the people who watched the show but by the people who watched the show and feel the need to comment about it on every classical music video. I watched the show and enjoyed it, but seeing the same quotes from the show everywhere is making me cringe. It's good people are enjoying this type of music but I'd rather not have 50% of the comments be about the show, it makes finding interesting comments about the piece more difficult.

After listening to (not really that) many recordings of Liebesleid, I can easily say that there is something really.... different about this one. The piece is literally called "Love's Sorrow", but this interpretation, for some reason, just reminds me of an old gentleman looking back on a past relationship whose end he has made peace with, and now he recollects those moments of the past with an easy air, so to say. And that's surprising, because the vibe I get from most renditions is that of, some anguish, some pain, some urgency and so on...

Other renditions are good, but this one just reflects the person who wrote it, and that's really special :)

(Also, I came on my own, but Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso is a great anime as well ;)

I am always reminded when I listen to Rachmaninoff play his own scores that the score doesn't reflect exactly the intentions of the composer. There's only so much emotion you can convey in ink. That being said, Rachmaninoff's scores drive me crazy. I don't understand at all his fascination with atonal chromatics. x__x They sound so beautiful the way he plays them, but I can only plonk out a series of chords that barely make sense to me.

@albertomartin4812

I believe it's more about a particular approach to the piano than a lack of tecnique. You have to focus always on the main melody, the basic harmony and the rythm, considering the rest as ornaments. Personally, listen carefully to Rachmaninov's recordings help me a lot when approaching to his music.

Of course, you have to pay attention to all the details, but that would be the main pillar of the performance. Also, listen how little pedal he uses, it's quite unusual nowadays. To my ears, that playing was closer to jazz and popular musicians than mainstream of classical music. Rachmaninov actually "played" with the music, creating his own language.

David Dubal , a pianist and professor at Juilliard, mostly known for his complete knowledge on pianists said once in one of his radio programs: "Ahh, the patina..." referring obviously to the surface noise of old recordings as well as the absence of a complete range of frequencies. Yet these imperfections give these recordings a nostalgia and a feeling of a level of pianism never to be achieved again. I wonder if rachmaninov would actually sound the same if he was recorded in crystal clear hifi stereo sound... who knows....

Rachmaninoffs playstile is very different from the modern versions of Liebesleid you can find. He seems to use a lot less pedal, plays less freely (which i consider a good thing in this case). He's playing a bit faster thank most others too, which i find pretty impressive considering he was at a pretty high age and bad health condition at the time of the record.

A great pianist for sure. Can anyone tell me modern piano composers that are currently active?

Although it's more than he maintains a consistent tempo for that section and contemporaries tend to introduce some manner of legato into the mix. So he finishes it faster than them because he plays it consistent and quickly. I'd have to look at my sheets to see what the section is called because i forget. You get the picture though

I've played the piano since a very young age, first taught by my Japanese mum, then going on to go to RCMJD until last year before the whole Corona situation took much of the joy out of it, making me choose to quit. I was somewhat aware of this piece (the original Kreisler one, not the Rachmaninoff arrangement) before, but Your lie in April (or Shigatsu wa kimi no uso) brought this fab arrangement to my attention - I'm going to be ever grateful for that.

I'm not even sure what I'm trying to say here tbh. I guess this is a more general defense of Shigatsu wa kimi no uso but perhaps on a more personal note.

As a lot of people have also pointed out at this point, the medium through which you first experienced a piece through doesn't matter. But the anime also rekindled my love for classical music (which was on the verge of collapse from both regret from quitting RCM and COVID-19 wrecking most performance opportunities), it showcasing situations and emotions that I experienced myself so many times. A lot of what the anime said was seemingly obvious to anyone who has ever been on stage in a competition/concert/whatever, but it definitely needed to be said to me. As a relatively direct result of it, I'm the most focused in my practice than I have been at any point in the last 3 or 4 years, not to mention enjoying it more than ever.

Fritz Kreisler, the best violinist of the early 20th century, wrote this delightful tune for the violin. His friend, Sergei Rachmaninoff, the best pianist of his time (IMO), transcribed it for the piano, adding more harmony and counterpoint, essentially creating a new composition. Both artists were known for their playing styles, both featuring a feathery touch where notes were not merely "launched" but "evolved" from their instruments.

@mohammadshukree572

to those who were wondering why Rachmaninov plays different from the original score, if ya listen to other Rach’s recording, he always interpret the song differently each time. The same piece he plays can sound different because he is a musician whom always improvises interpret things differently each time. That’s what makes him unique and different and speak volumes of his understanding of music as a whole and not just technical part of the music. If you love and live for music, it should be played with freedom and feeling. I’m pretty sure if there is another recording (depending on how he felt that day) it’d be a different interpretation. That’s how good he is. Same score, play it differently, if it’s beautiful, you know you’ve understood that music. In this case, I see it as he understood Liebesleid.

and second - the sorry thing is, that nobody plays with this mastery and the natural way of music making in todays concerts. mastery is not only about technical stuff like perfection and phrasing and also not only about expression. its also about being honest with what you do. rachmaninoff is a true artist in that sense.
