      Yes and no on (2). I am 100% certain that the cellist had experimented with every tempo and phrasing he could think of on this piece in the past, including the way how Zander wanted him to play. Especially THIS piece. It was not the first time he was playing with this tempo or vigor.

    Hey I know I am late on this one. I am a 28 year old male, listening to hardore and death metal. I do kickboxing and am not the most emotional human being. But for some reason, at the middle of this video I had to cry, and I am not even ashamed. The passion, the music, something deep inside of me was triggered. Classical music is a direct way to the feelings... Thank you for that experience.

    Since I first watched this video about 3 months ago, I must have rewatched portions of it every week since. I’ve watched and attended literally hundreds of masterclasses in my life as a musician, but never before have I felt so compelled to rewatch a masterclass as often have I have this one. 30 times now maybe? Some of those times even showing it to musician friends of mine.
    There are so many aspects to this masterclass that make it worth watching-the playing, the transformation of the interpretation, the music itself, the atmosphere in the room, the attentive audience, the quality of ideas discussed, Zander‘s infectious personality-but the thing I keep coming back to most of all are those last few moments of the final run-through when Zander, sitting next to the performer, starts tapping his feet, singing along, arms raised to the ceiling, and feeling an existential joy that is so total, purifying, and unafraid that it moves me to tears. It’s this feeling that made me dedicate my life to music. It’s this feeing that I forever chase. It is everything.

  • @marshallross3373
    @marshallross3373 5 років тому +152

    Totally agree with Zander's comments here: the piece is really about the harmonic progression, but because the cello is usually playing one note at a time, you have to create the sense of the harmony by maintaining some velocity of notes. Relating to the Prelude in Cmaj. was a good example showing the same idea. I also thought it was interesting that he suggested that the player sprinkle some emphasis on a few choice/unusual notes, and restrain the temptation to inject too much fiddling elsewhere; really because Bach's harmonic choices are so brilliant, it doesn't need a lot of extra artificial emphasis. These "interpretation class" videos are great.

    • @shifeng6963

  • @gustavwochercello1059
    @gustavwochercello1059 3 роки тому +17

    I was going to write why I personally believe such a fast tempo wouldn't really fit, but then realized that Bach composed this prelude purposedly in a fashion that would allow the cellist to play fast even in rooms with huge reverb, like a church, where Bach's music is supposed to be played ("for the glory of god") - the repeats of almost every motive and the well distributed (not too fast) harmonic progressions allow for this tempo even in a church. Only one thing I'm unsure of: how would people in Bach's era with gut strings have dealt with it? Gut strings have a slower response.... Fortunately we don't have that problem anymore. I love Zander's masterclasses....

    • @km6206
      @km6206 Рік тому +1

      i don't know much about it, but didn't Bach write for an instrument that is smaller than a modern cello? Presumably that could be played faster since strings are shorter.

      The thought about creating harmonics in rooms with huge reverb is very interesting, i never think about that when i perform
      But i don't think suites (dances) were written to be played in a church, it's funny but i asume they are actually closer to a party music for bach generation if u can say so

  • @AlanHope2013
    @AlanHope2013 4 роки тому +29

    Something the maestro doesn't mention is that the six cello suites are all based on dance music of the time -- apart from the first movement or prelude of each, they have the names of dance styles: allemanade, courante, sarabande and so on. And one thing more important than anything in dance, then as now, is a steady rhythm. The way the student is dragging on the bass note in each phrase is a very Romantic gesture not at all in keeping with Baroque style, and certainly not conducive to a steady rhythm for the dancers. Zander identifies the problem when he admonishes him not to point out notes, and not to emphasise notes that have nothing surprising, also when he advises to give all the notes equal worth. But I thought it was worth pointing out the dance origins of the music, as they relate to rhythm. .

    A great lesson. This student does what we all do with Bach when we are young - try to bring out the notes which make the the cello vibrate. With Bach the notes and the voices are so brilliantly arranged that too much nuance interrupts it. The student did a great job - as Zander said putting it on like a new suit immediately. Terrific!

    I have seen many other interpretation classes like this and many times the young musician just didn’t get what the master was trying to explain or get them to do. So when maestro gave him all the advice on how to interpret this piece differently, I love how Jonathan understood exactly what he meant and was able to replay the piece with this newly advised interpretation. His first interpretation was absolutely beautiful. However, with the new interpretation, the piece actually became much more vibrant and alive to me at least, and became even better more beautiful.

    His interpretation is very well thought out and reflective. I felt like I could really relate to it; he played it in a manner that I would probably do similarly. By far, my favorite thing about his interpretation is how after the build up at the end, he played the last few bars calmly and slightly slower and not fast or outlandish like most interpretations you usually may hear.

    I love it. I'd like to hear his take on other movements from the first suite, and other suites as well. Especially the Sarabande movements. They are the heart and soul of each suite.

    Wow... I'm honestly amazed, what a great teacher who greatly inspires his students. I'm not a classical violinist (wished I was), I'm just a simple beginner violinist, and I just want to say that I'm thankful to learn from your videos, and I envy your students :) thanks for sharing this video. It truly is "lessons for life" :) it truly is.

    We need more people like Benjamin in the classical world. It will be a real shame when he's not around anymore, but at least we'll have his videos to help and inspire the future generations down the road.

    The beauty of the piece (and how beautifully the beautiful cellist was playing :D !) combined with the master's inebriating joy brought a sincere smile to my face and made my heart to beat faster :) :)
