I would love to see Sir Andras Schiff play piano solo in person. Better yet, I'd love to meet him in person. However I have seen him with an orchestra and it was phenomenal.
Omg, it's not too long ! Especially that, as you said, this music is pure genius and awesome (and never boring)! Sometimes I even listen to the full work 3 times in a row !
I do love the Harmonic reduction - looks like a lede sheet like you'd find in a jazz chart. So extremely helpful and a wonderful way to look at the piece! Thanks.
This has been my favorite piece of music for quite a long while now. András Schiff's explanation/lecture (which can be seen right here on UA-cam) only added to my appreciation of this fantastic achievement in music.
Nice one, Henrik! Thank you so much for this, which somehow I've missed for 10 months. It was a very valuable and enjoyable video, giving me more insight into this suite I've fallen in love with in recent years. I immediately recognise things I'm "doing wrong" (or could improve) in those ornaments in the Aria. The last part reminds me of what I find myself doing half the day, improvising yet another variation, although I don't suppose I'm really sticking to the progression accurately - improvising is too much fun to stick to the script. I'm a novice on music theory, and play by ear and fairly poor reading, but I've noticed there can be hints of more chords in between the more obvious ones in most music. And in this, the last little run down - C, B, A, and up B, D, G, F# - hints at a final reciprocation of a D7. It is, I think, the whole point of it, to stray from the home key one last time when the Aria could just end on the G prior to it. Those ornaments together at the beginning of the B section have been bugging me forever, but I think I'm on top of them now! One big puzzle for me is how the three pieces in G minor relate to the whole. I can only manage the slower variations at anywhere near tempo, so I'm enjoying #25 a lot. I'm almost there with #13 (another aria) and not too far off with the lovely #19.
beautiful ornaments, maestro, this is my first hearing you play baroque, and you are really good--for me a surprise is how by chance in your harmonic analysis you happened to play the G 6/3 harmony in m5 that made me hear it as startling, as a big move to a new place--harmony does that--meanwhile, you are absolutely entitled to your variation-meditation at the end of the video, but, sorry, it isn't near as interesting as your ornaments and that move to G 6/3...
Nice overview of the Goldberg Variations. I hope you do a follow-up video on Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, that other great masterpiece of keyboard variations.
Wow I can't think of anything better than sitting through 2hrs of Bach.....it's a privilege really ❤
Yesterday I was in Andras Schiff`s recital in São Paulo, he opened playing the Aria of Goldberg Variations. Magic moment, I'll never forget.
Can imagine!

This is truly one of the best and most informative music channels on UA-cam. Thank you so much for sharing your marvelous insights with us!
Yes! Henrik is the best !
@@eqon1234 Waiting for him to cover Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement.
Did you just put a meme in your thumbnail? Lol
The ‘nordic chad’ meme claiming his rightful place into the Baroque sphere.

Deepest Gratitude HENRIK !!,
When i first this piece, I was like in a trance. Since then I was motivated to play Bach’s as much as my ability could achieve and am still striving .
The way you set this video up with recording angles and everything is great! This is very easy to follow 😃
Wonderful music,idem your vídeo/ analysis!! Very touching, thanks for that👏👏👏❤️
Thanks for analysing Bach!

Impeccable. And flawless.
Non vedevo l'ora!! Grazie
I would love to hear them all in a concert. I have listened to them all in one sitting hundreds of times. I am also very autistic.

Absolutely delightful video, thank you so much
delightful and extremely useful
THANK YOU!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow… Thank you so much. This video makes me feel that I can give a good try playing this gorgeous piece ❤
So sweet!
Thanks!
Thank you! :)
Wonderful! ❤

It's a shame that Beethoven did it finding the original theme to be a joke. Then he absolutely trolled it and had to outdo Bach with more variations 😂
Are you Swedish?
Yes
trying to learn it but im afraid im too autistic :(
Very helpful to understand this masterpiece! Thank you!
