Bach : Air on the G String (Piano)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Beatrice Berrut plays Alexander Siloti's transcription for piano of Bach Aria from the 3rd Orchestral Suite BWV 1068. This wonderful slow and singing movement was written, along with the three other orchestral suites, during the last period of his life in Leipzig, around 1731.The Air (the second movement) was transcribed for strings by August Wilhelmj, which made it a party piece playable on only one string of a violin - hence its nickname 'Air on the G string'. It's led scholars to believe the whole suite might have been composed for strings only, which would make it Bach's only known work written solely for four-part strings.
Beatrice Berrut, Piano
Recorded at Théâtre du Crochetan - Monthey, Switzerland

There is no room for any mistakes when playing something as simple yet beautiful as this piece.
Indeed! Sometimes the easiest music is the hardest to play ! Easy to read, and then the path to a renewed simplicity is long...^^All best wishes, Beatrice
I learn this peace too yet, I also find it difficult to play it with the right passion, so that it sounds how it should sound 😊. Sorry for my englisch - I am german. But this interpretation is very good, with the right dynamic and emotion.
This is not a simple piece to play. You need to have a wide finger span to play this.
This is not an easy piece, let me tell you that, boyo!
Спасибо.Поёт рояль.
Beatrice, Bach would love to hear your interpretations. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful musics.
Thank you for this so kind message 😍🙏🏻 best wishes to you, Beatrice
If the world is still around is because of this beauty.
I can't stop myself to hear this interpretation again and agian, so beautiful. I can say this is the best interpretation for Air on the G String on the internet! Thank you~
The best piece of music ever created.
Hello Beatrice, thank you so much for playing this so beautifully, simple and sincere and placing this on youtube on my 75th birthday.
Love and best wishes !!
Lovely to read you dear Paul, and super happy that the Aria made it right on time for your birthday :) many greetings and best wishes with a bit of delay...
You bring a heavenly peace to our hearts with your playing and so much pleasure to so many people. The good Lord bless you.
Dear Bob, I am so happy if my music is bringing you peace! We certainly need some, as we are facing difficult times. Halls are closed, but thanks to video the music can live on. Best wishes to you, Beatrice
This is my favorite interpretation of this piece. Straight from God.
Thank you for your kind words - and so happy if you enjoyed the video! Best wishes, Beatrice
"A tear can be a collage of a world full of beautiful colors, full of dreams, full of hopes, full of sadness... full of love" Moment of inspiration: Victor Hugo (Viceroy).
This masterpiece and your emotional playing is so perfect together. Thank you.
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it :) Take care, Beatrice
Maybe the most touching piece of music ever written?
I play it on classical guitar these days, and sometimes I play with goosebumps. That's new for me...:-)
BB, de chez elle, à Monthey, nous emmène dans un monde de sérénité en ces temps incertains, à travers cette tendre pièce...merciii à vous!
Truly a soulful performance. I’m using it to help me learn this piece of music. I aspire to play it this well.
I hope you’re are having a great time practicing and playing this piece ! Best wishes, Beatrice

so simpel aber trotzdem unglaublich schön
Magnifique très belle sonorité . Merci
Ce vieux Steinway a beaucoup de charme :)
Wunderbar! Und danke für den Hinweis auf diese Fassung, kannte ich noch nicht und kommt jetzt in mein Repertoire, eine schöne Ergänzung der Kempff-Transkriptionen.
Freut mich! Viel Spass damit und herzliche Grüsse, Beatrice
A lovely performance of a lovely piece, so nice to find it this evening to help me relax. I am used to hearing this piece on strings, but you make it sound so nice on the piano too. Of course, after hearing your phenomenal Mahler transcriptions, now I want to hear your own transcription of this too :).
Well, after all, a piano has strings as well, we just have to handle the hammers gently ;) Best wishes, Beatrice
@@BeatriceBerrut I had not thought of it that way, but it makes sense when you say it. I am glad that you are so very good at handling the hammers. :)
Beautiful! 😊
Bonne fête Béatrice.j'adore votre jeu sur les touches éburnéennes, coups de marteau sur des cordes qui sont là douceur révélant l'émotion dûe à la délicatesse de vos doigts .en un mot c'est le splendide répandu sur la toile.merci.
Paul 😃❤️👏
Merci ! Bien à vous, Beatrice
Very beautiful. Greetings from Perú...
Thank you! Greetings to Peru from Switzerland:) Beatrice
There is no doubt that Bach was inspired direct by God in heaven.
Absolutely ! Couldn't say it better.
Be blessed in Jesus Christ mighty name
Indeed he was. His flame of faith elevated his music to that of the level of saints and teachers
Make me cry
@@rapface45Amém!
Bach for ever!
Beautiful ❤
Classe... eleganza... Innato Talento.
Très beau, merci
this helps me cope with my depression. thanks...
I am really sorry to read about your sickness, but really happy if my music can help a bit. Sending you a lot of good vibes, Beatrice
@@BeatriceBerrut thanks Beatrice, you've great talents, and for sure it makes a lot of people happy. thanks for the amazing performance.. :)
I ❤ Bach.
Vielen Herzlichen Dank.
Es ist wunderschön.
Danke Oksana :) Liebe Grüsse, Beatrice
amazing performance~~~ 잘 들었습니다. 감사해요(THANKS A LOT)
Thank you for your message! Take care 😊 Beatrice
Brilliant!
🙏🏻😊 thank you !
Beautiful
It's beautiful. I love it.
thank you! meditative as usual...i feel like i can hear each phrase when you play...listened to John O Conner recently, whom i had not before heard of. I can hear that influence.
He was a very inspirational teacher indeed !
She did a great job holding back those tears.
What a wonderful performance by Ms Berrut. I am so looking forward to hearing her tonight play the Mozart 17th Piano concerto at Cadogan Hall. Best of luck Beatrice!
I am glad you enjoyed the video :) best regards, Beatrice
sublime interpretación❤
Thank you 😃🙏🏻
Wunderschön umgesetzt.
Vielen Dank! Herzliche Grüsse, Beatrice
Enchanting
So beautiful.. hope to see you performing in LA one day 🙏🏼
Thank you ! Hope this happens one day :) best !
This is the best performance of the many piano transcriptions that I could find on UA-cam. There are a lot which distort the timing and as a result, destroy the relentlessness of Bach's music.
The error in the Notes should be corrected because we only have four Bach Orchestral Suites altogether, including this number 3. I will be delighted to hear that a 5th and 6th Suite have been discovered in an attic somewhere, but until then, the Notes should read:
" . . . along with the three other orchestral suites, . . ."
Hi David, thanks for the heads up ! It took me a good while but I corrected it 😂
Nevertheless, really happy to read you enjoyed the performance!
With my best wishes, Beatrice
Wunderschön!
*CELESTIAL, MUY SATISFACTORIO Y RELAXING OTHER LEVEL* ❤️🫶🏻💥🎶✨🔥💯☄️🌕❤️
Sublime.
Thanks... 🙏❤️

Is Beautifull piece ❤
Loved it so much.
Hello, I am a pianist and a professor.
I can feel the faith and the love of God in your performance. Thank You👍
I need to perform solo during worship at the request of my church next month, where can I buy the score?
Hello, thank you for your kind message! The scores are on imslp.org, and this is Siloti’s transcription of the Aria.
All best,
Beatrice
This played tempo is uplifting and the entire piece is far easier experienced. There is hope and beauty in this tempo. When played much slower this piece takes on a death march quality that reveals overwhelming contemplation coupled with a universe time machine past present catch up game. Strange.
Happy to read you feel the same tempo as I do ! All best, Beatrice
Una ejecución muy bella, inspiradora y magistral. Me encanta su forma tal pasional de tocar el piano.
Thank you for your comment! Glad you like it :) Take care, Beatrice
I do enjoy a piano piece that is played so well. A classmate of mine was (in the memory of a 7 or 8 year old) pretty damn good on our school piano, regularly playing short pieces at assembly.
I still wonder if he ever made a success in the music industry. Anyway, this piece of music is excellent.
It is great music indeed :) Thanks for the comment and best wishes, Beatrice

Lyrics (English): "My Love, I Still Remember You"
...Music...
Lover! My love! I still remember you during this moment! Don't you ever know, my dear?
Oh.. yes! I still think of you, although you are now so far away from me!...
Yes, I still dream of you, no matter how far away from me as you are now,... or you are now somewhere in the world, tonight!
And, I believe that your souvenirs, which still reside deeply inside my mind, and they still befriend me tonight, ...
and they seem to represent you here, my lover!....
...
Lover! My love! I can still remember your smiles that you gave to me during those romantic moments, ..under a moonlit night...
Yes! Indeed, I can still remember your lovely eyes, ...while you smiled and looked at me,... during the first moment,..
..while you accidentally met me in a quiet, little town,.. and quite a long time ago,.. don't you ever remember those romantic
moments of you and me of those souvenirs, while you're somewhere now?...
And that moment continues to bring me back to me with so many lovely, unforgettable tenderness, and happiness
of the past that you sincerely gave to me at that time, without demanding anything in return from me, my dear!
And, it is pretty sad indeed, don't you ever think that we likely are the harvesters of sadness, and loneliness in this world tonight?
...
Now, I am all alone in this quiet place, and I am trying to recall all the souvenirs that you have left behind to me, since the day we
stayed apart from each other, caused by an unfortunate mishap in life that led to an unwanted separation between you and me
as now...
And now, I am sitting here to write a letter to you, and I know that I will never be able to send it to you in the coming days....My lover!
However, I will continue to write more letters to you, my lover! And, I will keep them on this table for you, as that's all I can do for..
you.. now,... my... love!...
...
... Music ...
... Music ...
The end
Thank you for these kind lines and all best wishes to you ! Beatrice

Hermosa melodía. Somos luz que brilla como el universo, venimos de allí y nos iremos allí.
Yes, this music has something eternal ✨ best wishes, Beatrice
久々に聴く深く澄明な世界の表現者です！

Mozart e Beethoven disseram: Bach e' o maior de todos. Nenhum musico se compara a ele. Bach is the best.
Yes! Bach’s music makes our lives better! Warm wishes, Beatrice
There is no doubt that Beatrice Barrut is God on Earth, thank you, again and again BB

Thank you! All best, Beatrice
BEATRICE BERRUT !!!!
: )
Die schönste Version aller Zeiten 😊 ich versuche es auch gerade zu lernen. Ich habe Ihnen über den Facebook Messenger geschrieben ob es eventuell möglich wäre von genau dieser Version ein lern Video zu machen 🙈😊
Danke für die nette Nachricht! Ich würde Ihnen sehr gerne helfen, ich weiss aber wirklich nicht wie ich es machen könnte - ich habe kein Talent für Unterricht und habe mir nie ein LernVideo angeschaut !!😅 Aber ich bin mir sicher, dass wenn Ihr Ohr Sie führt, kann nichts schief gehen ;) Herzliche Grüsse, Beatrice
@@BeatriceBerrut ich habe Ihnen eine Nachricht über den Facebook Messenger geschickt. 😊
Uau! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My most favourite song. I could listen this whole day.
Plus you look like someone I used to love long time ago. :-)
Thank you for your kind comment :) best wishes, Beatrice
@@BeatriceBerrut best wishes to you too. ;-)
I still watch this everyday. :-)
Listening again today - 19-4-21
Listening again 21-4-2021 :-)
If I may; the dynamic range of the performance is rather narrow, it's being played very softly which might be to some peoples liking but then playing this soft leaves little room for a wider dynamic range. Also, I know this is Bach and we're not still talking about Romanic rhythmic freedom. However, this specific piece would probably sound more dramatic and beautiful with a little more rhythmic freedom. I enjoy your performance thought, thank you.
Thank you for reaching out! I do understand your opinion, but I wanted to give the piece a meditative quality, and avoid being dramatic. This said, it is only one option between many others that can sound right too :) All best, Beatrice
Angelo Stefanile
Grandiosa. Suonata prima con l'anima e poi con .....le mani.
Grazie per il suo gentile messaggio e tanti auguri! Beatrice
❤️🙏
Beatrice,
This is probably the most beautiful piano performance I've heard.
Funnily enough - I first heard this song in about 2018 on a horror game called The Evil Within, (pathetic, I know!) But that made me look up on Google what song it was and I found this.
I also play piano and really want to learn this song as it's become my favourite now.
I compare your version with Rousseau's on youtube and I can't tell which one to go for. They both sound just as good but I like yours better as it's a bit shorter, 3 minutes.
For me, learning a song over 3 minutes really takes up a lot of time.
I found sheets on Muescore, did you use those ones? Or did you get them elsewhere?
Love your version, I really want to play it as good as you one day
Thanks for your message! It is unexpected to hear in a horror game - but hey, so great you discovered the piece ! The version I am playing is on imslp.org. Look up Bach Siloti Aria and you should find it. Wishing you the best in your endeavors, and best wishes! Beatrice
@@BeatriceBerrut You responded at the perfect time!
Today, I actually found sheets for it on muescore, someone copied Rousseau's video and i really like his style so I'm going for that one!
But stiil, yours is just as amazing, honestly.
spent 1 hour and I only made it to 0:36 into the song.
it's actually a lot harder than I thought! I don't know why it takes me SO long to learn a song. i am a bit afraid that this is too hard but I will keep going, I am finding it a bit difficult though.
Please do more mahler transcriptions!
Haha, nice to read that :)) I have a new one ready that I need to learn... Best wishes !
@@BeatriceBerrut I look forward to it!
this piece sounds very modern
Timeless ………
Quite true ! It doesn’t get old :)
It sounds like He was in the room of the Recording with Beatrice...
❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🏻😊
