Sir Andras Schiff is one of the greatest musicians alive today, not only for his extensive knowledge of Bach's music, but for his musical vision in general ,and his enormous ability to appreciate the beauty of art. I agree with him in saying that Bach is the greatest composer who ever lived. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary video.
Wonderful as always. Erudite, full of love, eager to share his insights with the public. And yet such humility and graciousness. How blessed we are to have him especially in such an intimate one-on-one virtual setting. 👍❤️
I listened to and enjoyed Bach without understanding much of his music. However, the more I learn about it, the more I love his compositions. I am very grateful to András Schiff for making some of his knowledge available to the public.
Ich habe die Inventition Nr. 1 gerade gelernt. Nun an der 2. Ich muss sagen, dass die Anforderungen wirklich hoch sind. Die Nr. 2 stellt noch einmal ganz andere Anforderungen als die 1. Es führt mich an die Grenzen und ist nicht leicht aber ich packe es
@@hfuchs1602 Ich muss zugeben, dass es mich fast "freut", wenn Sie erwähnen, dass die Anforderungen hoch sind. Nicht aus Schadenfreude, Beileibe nicht, sondern zu meiner Beruhigung, dass ich mit meinen Schwierigkeiten nicht alleine sein werde ...! Ich bin auf einen noch viel tieferen Niveau, und an die Inventionen werde ich mich wohl eher gegen Ende meines Lebens wagen können. Aber es ist mein Traumziel, eines Tages auch in diese Literatur eintauchen zu können. Ich habe spät (mit 55 Jahren) angefangen, mir Klavier beizubringen. Da habe ich J.S. Bach "entdeckt". Und ich bin zur Überzeugung gekommen, dass ich für den Rest meines Lebens nichts anderes mehr spielen werde als Bach. Klavierpädagogisch mag das problematisch sein, aber für mich und meinen Weg mit der Musik ist es klar: Alles andere ist für mich eine Zeitverschwendung. Diese Musik ist so unglaublich perfekt und so himmlisch schön zu spielen - keine andere Literatur erfüllt mich so sehr wie J.S. Bach. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Erfolg auf Ihrem Klavierweg! A.

I have come to learn Bach and find joy in playing his music. I am indebted to all involved in this project for showing where to start and experience the work of Bach as a multi-sensorial exercise that inspires life long learning.
I could listen to him talk about Bach all day. The bit in the beginning about how to progress thru Bach (little preludes to the suites to the inventions to WTC to art of the fugue if you ever get that far) was super interesting
Lieber Meister Schiff, Czerny war nicht der unmenschliche Etüdenschmied, für den er sooft gehalten wird. Seine Etüden(nur 10 Prozent seines Gesamtwerkes) sind im historischen (viel langsameren Tempo) einfache, aber schöne Musik.
Andras Schiff (¨"Sir", et on se demande pourquoi...) son interprétation de Bach est celle d'un ordinateur, infaillible, mais pour ce qui est du coeur, pas d'harmonie, pas de phrasé, pas de legato... Il est vrai que sur un piano, sans utiliser de pédale, il part avec un lourd handicap, mais c'est son choix. Son refus de jouer les transcriptions de Bach par Busoni, Liszt, Saint Saens etc. auxquelles, en fonction de ce choix, il ne serait pas capable de s'adapter montre bien qu'il n'a rien compris à l'essentiel de Bach, lequel était le premier à copier et à adapter les oeuvres d'autres compositeurs. Il suffit de lire les partitions de Bach qui sont sans indications ni recommandations d'expression pour comprendre qu'elles n'en n'ont pas besoin tant on peut les deviner. Monsieur Schiff n'est pas devin, je lui conseillerais de s'atteler au clavecin, celà lui conviendrait parfaitement.

Because in this life just a few things could be called as timeless, bach music is transcendent, why? Because it has passed so long time and new generations still being touched by his music, and it would take more than an entire life to know all his works there so many an they all are too good to be true, but it is true thanks Bach
That's exactly the point, my dear: The music of J.S. Bach is that much perfect and divine to my ears and soul, that I never get tired of playing even only two bars for 3 times half an hour each day and this for 6 weeks in a row. So I play his music over and over and over again, and feel myself evolve into this eternal realm of beauty and perfection. J.S. Bach's music can become a way of life. It certainly has become mine.
This guy is a blessing for all us music lovers 💙
One couldn't express it better: a blessing, indeed.
Not a blessing for struggling pianists trying to do similar 😮
@@ciararespect4296 ahí tienes la importancia de un buen maestro, muchos ánimos y disfruta cuando estudies, el resultado es mucho más rápido.
Can listen to this man for hours. Passionate, but never over-interpreting.

Agree with you ❤

What a joy. Great to hear Sir Andras guide us through these masterpieces.
Herr Schiff gives us a very worthy masterclass.
I L O V E the lectures by András Schiff. They have as high a quality as his playing!

Excellent stuff, it's such a joy to hear him talk about and play this music.
"We should never give up - hope"
So funny when someone like Mr.Schiff says this :-)
A master class as an overview of this great teaching piece.
I have come to learn Bach and find joy in playing his music. I am indebted to all involved in this project for showing where to start and experience the work of Bach as a multi-sensorial exercise that inspires life long learning.
Correct ❤

Wonderful thank you for sharing. Andras Schiff is the best interpreter of Bach
Wonderful introduction to the 2 & 3 part inventions by the gentleman of the keyboard.
A master on the Master!
Thanks maestro.
Thanks for sharing. I truly appreciate this posting. 🙏😀
It s a privilege watching this video, many txs
I love his lectures
Wonderful presentation -- thank you! 🌞
very nice insights from der Meister
2023 was the 300th year of the Inventions being published - though i never noticed this really acknowledged
Thank you
After years i feel inspired to play the inventions again
Great lesson.wish my teacher would have given me these insteadvof the vwellpemper claver. Thanks tovyou Andres
God bless this man
Thank you, Sir!
Thank you very much!!!
Wow! That was fascinating!
Brawo genialne
Vielen Dank für Ihre Einführung, Herr Schiff. Bach ist mein Lieblingskomponist, aber ich hatte nie irgendeine Idee von diesen Inventionen.
You really didn’t know about them??? I thought everyone’s music teacher started you off with them. But I guess not for everyone lol
Endless Miracle
🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Lieber Meister Schiff, Czerny war nicht der unmenschliche Etüdenschmied, für den er sooft gehalten wird. Seine Etüden(nur 10 Prozent seines Gesamtwerkes) sind im historischen (viel langsameren Tempo) einfache, aber schöne Musik.
Thank you!
More!😊👍
what a great video! thanks for sharing this:) is this also available somewhere with better audio quality?
The video is available with better sound quality on Pierre Boulez Saal site.
Vielen Dank Herr Schiff!
What range did the clavichord have?
Usually 4-1/2 octaves from C - F3. So it can play everything in the Well Tempered Clavier.
Thank you.
❤❤❤
I’m looking for this facsimile. Is there anyone who knows where I can find it by chance?
Why not simply print out from IMSPL and then spill some coffee on it?

so good
Sir Andras Schiff, please 😊
🙄😆🙄🤦🏻
He always trashes Czerny 😅
U FORGOT THE TOCCATAS
Hahahhaha
Why master? we mortals don't deserve your wisdom.
still not amused to play Bach on a piano, its became fast tinkling

This guy should learn to play jazz。Where's the beef of playing the same sheep music up and down the entire life ???
Because in this life just a few things could be called as timeless, bach music is transcendent, why? Because it has passed so long time and new generations still being touched by his music, and it would take more than an entire life to know all his works there so many an they all are too good to be true, but it is true thanks Bach
What are you talking about? Did you accidentally click on this video perhaps?
Wer Bachs Musik als Schafsmusik bezeichnet, disqualifiziert sich selbst.
That's exactly the point, my dear: The music of J.S. Bach is that much perfect and divine to my ears and soul, that I never get tired of playing even only two bars for 3 times half an hour each day and this for 6 weeks in a row. So I play his music over and over and over again, and feel myself evolve into this eternal realm of beauty and perfection. J.S. Bach's music can become a way of life. It certainly has become mine.
There were no jazz if there hadn't been Bach.
Got it?
All the great jazz musicians did and do venerate J.S. Bach.
Spettacolo assoluto anche in inglese perche la musica non ha origine dalle parole. Commovente .
