I found this video roughly a year ago when I was first starting to work on Ondine and it's been so helpful! It's taken me 20 years to get to the point where I can even attempt to learn this piece, but now after a year of regular practice I can finally play it all the way through at least reasonably well, despite a couple of sections where I have to slow things down a bit still but I'll get to full tempo on those sections in another month or so at the rate I'm going. Thanks for making this video (and also the second video too).

I heard Teddy's story on BBC Outlook and had to know more. In the process I found this video and was bowled over by the young Kenyans--their passion for and devotion to their chosen instruments, and to music. And inspiring more youngsters to dream. Thanks, Cordelia, for your part in the process!

Congratulations, Teddy Otieno! Your BBC Memory Box interview was incredibly inspiring. Your talent and dedication are truly commendable. Keep making Kenya proud!

There is nothing more appealing than a beautiful woman playing beautiful music. Wonderful performance, Cordelia. Love the B flat minor (op 117 no 2). I'm adding it to the cue.

Thank you! Very useful and doable routine - covers a lot of ground in a short time!

Thank you for this amazing video! Answered so many questions

So many gems for practising were dropped here. I have had lots of tension trying to apply the voicing to my fingerings, as in keeping the hands separate for voicing except where written, and I didn't think to let the other hand play some of the harder to reach notes, which help SO MUCH to reduce the tension. The tip for practising transitions between phrases was super useful as well (I am at times guilty of playing blockishly). Finally, the explanations behind your interpretation really helped me to appreciate the score much more, even when I interpreted some parts differently. Thank you so much, Cordelia. I'm honoured to have learnt from you. SUBSCRIBED!

Thanks for sharing the importance of this. I find I even get this in scales too, irrespective of the key, because I always hear scales in the music I play and love so it's become easy to feel that about the scales themselves.

Superbe. Peut-être un petit peu trop vite?

Beautiful work !Delicate and profound. Great precision. Thank you and Bravo !

Everyone deserves this knowledge, it shouldn't cost money, when you take lessons you're paying for the motivation and more intimate learning, not the knowledge itself.

Gentilissima, sarebbe molto interessante avrmere dei suoi tutorial su più aspetti tecnici. Sono violoncellista e pianista. Ho suonato per più di 30 anni al Teatro alla Scala di Milano , avendo accompagnato tutti i più grandi pianisti degli ultimi 40 anni, e quindi apprezzo particolarmente il suo lavoro. Cordialmente

Bravissima gentile professoressa. Grazie cordialmente da Milano, Italia.

Very, very beautiful playing Cordelia. I loved the tempo you took it at, especially the 3rd movement where restraint is absolutely required. For me that 3rd movement along with the Liszt Benediction are among a handful of pieces that are the most beautiful things written for the piano. Wonderful playing.

Cordelia, these videos are so inspiring. They just might help me get through the most difficult sections I've yet to conquer. It has taken me 45 years to realize this is the greatest piano piece ever written. Just my opinion. All 3 movements are of sublime beauty. The difficulties are immense especially if you have small to average hands. I love it so. It is so wonderful to experience exceptional pianists like yourself struggle with these difficulties too until you "slay the dragon". :) Thank You Cordelia as I so enjoyed your musical journey.

Shouldn't it be in 10/8 instead of 2/2?

Wonderful touch and inner expression. Bravo for the calm and voluptuous atmosphere. Not sure why tempi vary so wildly.

terrific tutorial, thank you!

Bravo!!!!

Amazing to see all these preparations and all the (very) methodic approach required !!!! It DEFINITELY shows how its NOT for everyone ....!!!! I heard your Schubert and was going to point what I'd do differently .... Now I won't say nothing anymore!!! Lol ...

Congratulations, this one is beautiful !

Beautiful, super clean and energetic interpretation !!! Perfect tempo!!! I loved to be able to hear so much from this performance ...

You have set the gold standard for this piece, so beautiful ! (And I've listened to every online version of Ondine.)

певучесть звука так себе, не хватает все же. басы третьим пальцем тоже удивляют, так ведь хороший звук и не получишь

This is really encouraging

No uniforms on look like straight off the street 😊

I'm so taken with your economy of movement.

Thank you very much, this was very helpful!

The perfect antidote to Horovitz (I"d say that of the repertoire in general and all Cordelia's playing). It's good to hear all the notes, and with no destruction of tone, just beauty.

awesomee

Absolutely underrated channel ❤

That piano is beautiful

這甚重的三角钢琴，三位师傅从楼上搬到楼下真为你们担心，愿你们多多保重，也令人佩服，向你们致敬!

Schubert anticipated the UA-cam attention span 😉

Lovely playing. Beautiful sound and touch. Brava.

This is music and playing of surpassing beauty!

So delicate, fabulous! ❤️😍🤗🌹💕🥰🌷

I was there. I was enthralled, as were the rest of the audience. I hope Cordelia Williams comes to Turner Sims again soon. or better still, to Freshwater Memorial Hall, on the Isle of Wight. They have a great Steinway 🙂. She might even play Mozart's Rondo in A Monir. Or Chopin's Scherzo No.2. Well I can dream can't I?

Que bella mi amor!! Demasiado buena! Crack. Enhorabuena. A seguir mostrando arte. Gracias

Knowing Robert Schuman's romantic style is obviously an art. Congratulations Cordelia Williams you are a truly special artist.

Lovely music, really moving, bravo Cordelia!!

Thank you for Uploading, you played with allot of passion and feeling! All my best!

Deeply satisfying performance. Thank you!

Did you learn it the first time straight from the beginning to the end? I started learning it but I started with the A Tempo section of the 1st mvmt and going to bounce around

Back in my student years I fell in love with this piece, but I felt it was out of my league technically. Life took me in different directions after studies, and it's only the last couple of years I've had the time and motivation to practice more seriously and add more to my repertoire. These videos have helped so much and now I feel like I might actually be able to play this properly. What a dream! Thank you so much <3

Gorgeous.

I was there too (can actually see myself I think in this video lol). I've seen a few of the great pianists in live performance over the years and can honestly say Williams is right up there with the finest you are likely to hear. I love her clarity of touch, thoughtful articulation of every note, richness of interpretation, power and extraordinary delicacy...one could go on but my recommendation would be just go to one of her concerts and hear for yourself.
