Probably one of the best harmonists of all time, taking serious cues from both Bach and Beethoven. His counterpoint and progressions are out of this world and very distinctive even from his contemporaries like Chopin who was also a huge Bach fan.
Interesting tidbit that Schumann was a furiously quick composer. Some say his manic episodes fueled his creativity. Can definitely hear it even in the exposition.
Hey! Just here to say that i'm a huge fan of your videos! It's always a pleasure to read through the description of your videos as you seem to be very knowladgable about classical music and put alot of time into writing these! Thank you for your work and keep doing what you are doing!
Me as well! Thank you a lot for this first class description and careful choice of the interpretations! You introduced me to artists I haven't known and a lot of works shine to me in new light after reading your texts and analyses.
I love the way you write about Schumann in your commentary on the various pieces you've posted. Your praise and analysis are insightful and as I lover of Schumann's music it makes me smile. I'm also very happy to see you highlight his contrapuntal expertise.
Slatterbrekk became my favorite Schumann player. (You know, his 'carnival' too is just awesome.) thanks to you, I could get the courage to practice this mysteriously beautiful Kreisleriana. Thank you very much!!!
listed only to 7-8, I am so inspired bye this first pianists performance. I I am deeply grateful for your work and contribution including your wonderful notes as well as inclusion of scores which adds so much to the value to us musicians, well any music reader. okay, thank you so much, I look forward to taking a listen/look to your own stuff.
I'm sharing with you guys what I could hear from this AWESOME piece : All the things you are 28:29 Beethoven's fifth 31:58 (with a little bit of imagination.

Hey Ashish! Thank you for your contributions with both the videos and the descriptions. I (and probably many other people here on UA-cam) can assure you that the time that you spend producing these videos has not gone in vain! Big fan here. I have just one question. Where have you gotten your experience in Classical music from?
Непревзойдённо! Чувствительно благодарен Вам. Контрапунктические особенности просто поражают свой стройностью и соразмерностью: сразу слышно ученика Баха!..
Slåttebrekk brings this piece to life- for me. I have never truly loved this piece, but I have found true love now. Thank you for sharing your videos as often as you do. I await them constantly!!!
The depth of the underlying harmonies in the chords (as arpeggios) in the first section leaves one in awe. What follows is also full of R.S's characteristic peccadillos. I've always loved the Intermezzo 2. A clever rendition of this challenging opus by this pianist. Thank you for this.
I've pretty much only listened to Horowitz and Grimaud's interpretation of this piece so far, and when i first heard Slåttebrekk's playing i must admit I did not like it at all. But I'm tyring to make myself less sceptical and I forced myself to listen to it a couple of times, and what do you know... In only a day it has become my favourite interpretation of Kreisleriana. Thank you for posting this wonderful rendition and opening my eyes for new horizons.
same. 20 years of listening to argerich and I hated the slattebrekk version when this video was uplodaded. now it's my favorite and I listen to it constantly.
Dear Ashish, thank you very much for your uploads. It is very detailed and informative. I love Schumann music. It is very visual and expressive. It creates movies in my head. Schumann needs more praise than is given, I think. Scriabin reminds me of Schumann. I also love Edvard Grieg.
Schumann has an almost orchestral piano style. If you can handle Schumann piano style, you can play anything. Chopin's piano structures are so pianistic while Schumann's are so orchestral. If you can play Schumann's " Symphonic Etudes" or "Carnival," you can play anything. I am so lucky to have had a piano teacher who went to Schumann after a heavy dose of Bach. He was so right!!
It's funny you mention "orchestral" piano style, since I transcribed Kreisleriana for string quartet: musescore.com/user/15649351/scores/6406712 Out of all the early Romantic composers, his writing is the most polyphonic-like Bach for the 19th century.
This suite is, for me, the ultimate realization of the Eusebius/Florestan thread of Schumann's work. The dichotomy of contrasted sections is rendered through harmonic means that are themselves double: the frenzied sections pair fast moving, jagged figuration over slow moving harmonies or long pedal points; the slow rapturous chorales conceal complicated chromatic bass lines and meandering modulation. I'm not sure I've yet found the ideal recording that manages to tease out fully this conceptual brilliance while still providing the listener with the experience of the dazzling surfaces and profound heart of this music. It would seem to demand a musician who can execute a sort of emotional counterpoint, who can simultaneously express both Eusebius and Florestan in each section, through tone color, touch, balance, and voicing. Neither performance here achieves that goal. Endres comes closer to the conceptual essence, but his excellent counterpoint is too brainy, and his tempi too ponderous and weighty in general.

@@yingsangkwok1633ohhh wow omg “it’s barely audible >> deep, super A++ #1 music!” Or “woweee, it’s hard to play means it’s super duper, Beethoven-best music everssss!!😮😮”.
In some parts (like at 1:02:19) it reminds a bit of Bill Evans' Autumn Leaves (well, actually, it would be Autumn Leaves that reminds Kreisleriana). There are strange links in music!
Hi fantastic channel but there is a little mistake with number 2. The correct translation of "innig" would mean, with the utmost expression or something like this. For example Beethoven wrotes in the 3. movement of the late e major sonata, "mit innigster Empfindung" so it means with the deepest expression. Inwardly would mean more something like introverted or turned inwards in german (nach innen gewandt)...
@@user-pf5nb9tu6n nope it was chopin recieved a copy as it was dedicated to him but he only commented favourably on the title page design. Typical chopin.
Both two performance are excellent. I know it's a good habit, however, I can't help comparer them with that of Horowitz. Anyway, do you know the meaning of 'Kreisleriana'? @t "Music of Desire Kreisleriana" Here is the secret. It means 'Clara, sei rein!'. It is an anagram.
"Kreisleriana" are twelve short texts by E. T. A. Hoffmann, a german romantic author, which were first printed between 1810 and 1814 in the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung. Main character is the Kapellmeister Kreisler, a musician, who talks about music (Bach and Beethoven for ex.), sometimes satirically, and sometimes he is completely out of his mind. Schumann was very fond of Hoffmann’s texts and novels. (Offenbach’s opera Hoffmanns Erzählungen is based on stories by E.T.A Hoffman too.) I think, the anagram with Clara is not authentic.
This concept of a seamless series of rather short pieces forming a high contrst between one another demands a top level sens of global equilibrium and a very acute musical sense to capture the literest of the leitener all aong the 30 minutes of that mosaic. This inspired several composers uup to contemporary music. For instance, the 'avant-garde US composer Elliott Carter explained that he had been influenced by the example of Kerisleriana when writing his long piano piece ' 'Night Fantasies' (1979-1980),
He thought his music was trash. As he did with most of his contemparies. He wasn't fond of Liszts music, but was very fond of his technique and virtuosity at the piano
Chopin only "commented favorably on the title page". That must've aged poorly because this has been considered one of the great piano masterpieces for awhile now.
@@calebhu6383 Liszt was perhaps the most open-minded of his time and could find something interesting even among the most peculiar composers. By the way nice playing of schumann's toccata!
Yes, I know! I have only discovered it recently, it's a secret message to Clara. Also I like to think it conveys Kreisler, a character from E.T.A Hoffmann's novels as Schumann greatly admired Hoffmann. He was quite comparable to Kreisler in terms of personality. And here, Schumann expresses his two alter egos Florestan and Eusebius. Double meanings!
An extraordinary piece... If you listen very carefully, you will find many other Schumann´s leitmotivs: from Papillons Op.2, Symphonic Etudes Op.13, Kinderszenen Op.15 (and not only "Der Dichter spricht"). I recommend this musical game ! Also with other composers. That´s how we can develop our mind and musical ears. Thank you Ashish Xiangyi Kumar for posting this versions. I invite you to watch my "Dichter spricht" version : ua-cam.com/video/TeyuWAeeXW4/v-deo.html
I hered this piece for a week in a concert with the famous Sokolov. I can't forgot it. So beautiful...
Schumann was such a fantastic composer... If there's one composer that just keeps surpising you with every new work you listen, it's him.
Slåttebrekk's performance of No 1 is the kind of perfect Schumann interpretation you would normally only dream of.
this piece sure is kinda trippy in some places, and boy do i love it
38:07 is one of the most subtle descending fifths progression ever. You can only faintly hear it in the inner voices and in the overtones.

Although this magnificent work is dedicated to Chopin, Chopin never taught any of Schumann's music to his pupils or played it himself.
He thought his music was trash. As he did with most of his contemparies. He wasn't fond of Liszts music, but was very fond of his technique and virtuosity at the piano
Chopin only "commented favorably on the title page". That must've aged poorly because this has been considered one of the great piano masterpieces for awhile now.
I really can't understand how Chopin didn't like this astonishing work. Its a pity..
