    I just passed my 82nd birthday (2021) by learning the fun polka of the Five Pieces. No where as precise and clear quality as
    these two fine young musicians but I'm happy and my brain synapsis are sure getting exercise.

    Always thought Shostakovich was a modern dissonance composer. How wrong I was as I am discovering his romantic side.
    What a musical genius.

    I discovered this piece a year ago upon seeing this video. My musical partner and I (she's the CM of one of our orchestras in Wash. DC, I'm the Asst. CM and we now have a string quartet as well) have since played it several times at events with a pianist from my church. Thanks guys!

    How do we listen to music? When you hear a piece for the very first time, then it is fresh, it is new. But when you listen to it for the second time, it is not new anymore. Then you know what note is going to come, and therefore listen from the past, wich is the known. And then one starts to listen one note ahead, wich becomes old, not new and fresh. And in that kind of listening there is a certain pleasure. So is it possible not to listen from thought, wich is memory and experience, because thought always compares what it thinks is better, the highest. It is always judging and therefore never actually listens to what is being played.

      well if you compare it to eating familiar food, you surely are enjoying it again, aren't you? on the whole anyway, without thinking of components and texture and some particular little pieces of it in your mouth, and if you do that then your life most likely is a big boredom, but it is not I am certain, because we manage somehow to find that pleasure you mention in repetitive things that are going through all our lives

      Go to IMSLP and look up the title of the video. Everything on imslp is free, all you have to do is download the music and print if (if you want/need to). No sign up or anything :)

      @@kemi3883 I don't think you'll find this on IMSLP because Shostakovich is recent enough to be still under copyright. At least in the US. I had to actually buy the score. Sorry, I can't remember where I got it from... but definitely had to purchase it.

    • @jonteske4267
      @jonteske4267 7 років тому

      That is correct. It is actually arrangements done by Shostakovich's assistant under the composer's guidance. The pieces were actually from never-performed ballets from the 1930s and in one instance from a cartoon (Imagine a cartoon in the Stalinist era!) The last piece was from a pas de deux called the "Dance of the Milkmaid and the Tractor Driver." It send the violinist who is my partner when I've performed this into giggles.

    this was a good performance, but the problem was you two werent communicating. the guy was looking at her and she was to focused to then face than playing together as one.

    • @jaggerjacks8795
      @jaggerjacks8795 10 років тому +12

      She was looking quite a bit, and you don't always have to look all the time even if your partner may be. It happens pretty often in really top-notch performances too, where some may think the players are disconnected, but it's quite the contrary. She does look in moderation especially for the lead-ins, so it's fine. It was a pleasant performance.

      I don't know about that. The camera was focused on him for much of the performance so it's a little hard to judge. They play very tightly. Watch the rubatos, e.g. ua-cam.com/video/cx_HP8XYSho/v-deo.htmlm45s where they are both visually communicating.
