He was truly able to tread the line so well. In his most dissonant works he gives tastes of romantic emotion, and in his most romantic works he sprinkles in witty modernist quips
@@FredericChiu I absolutely adore your interpretations; loved hearing this set. My God, that last Scherzo... so agile and delicate! Every note is also played so clearly.
So good to hear Frederick Chiu again. I had the pleasure of seeing him early in his career when he performed for several years running at the Newport Festival. I still remember his performance of Liszt’s Transcendental Etudes.
Chiu is the best when it comes to early Prokofiev, the way he phrases and articulates Humoresque scherzo literally made me laugh out loud because it sounded so funny. Spot on performance!
@@santiagomorales9129 tengo tendencias auditivas masoquistas. Tenés razón. Ahora hablando un poco más en serio, estoy intentando que me guste, de corazón, me gusta su Toccata para piano, y quiero de algún modo descubrir qué hay en Prokofiev que me disgusta para intentar anularlo y abrirle el corazón. Es algo que me funcionó con otros compositores. Pero se nota que debo estar medio verde, o del todo, no sé. Tal vez disfrace de severidad lo que es incapacidad.
Chiu is easily the best prokofiev interpreter, the bar gets set stupidly high because of him I noticed that chiu plays way more expressively and innovatively, in a very clear way compared to other pianists. Listen in the scherzo, in the 3rd appearance of the main theme, with the lower register accents, most people make the dominant rhythm those accents, but not chiu, I love it man
The style of these pieces is very like that of Poulenc's delightful 'trois novelettes pour piano' . In fact the first piece here could stand in for the second of the three novelettes. If you haven't done so already, please give yourself a treat and listen to the Poulenc novelettes,.which are posted on you tube. They are gorgeous!
prokofiev composed this op 12 much earlier than his opus 1, because the opus indicates publication and composers sometimes publish older works long after their creation, it is known that prokofiev composed several things before this set of pieces, anyway@@robertwalker2052
has anybody caught the resemblance of the first theme of Capriccio with one in the Passepied from Debussy's Bergamasque Suite ? Some years ago I discovered these 10 gems, though fell in love only with 4 of them. Now I say they all are gems
Number 1 (The March) might have been the inspiration for Thelonious Monk's - Let's Cool One. The ascending quarter note progression after the key change is strikingly similar. Regardless, they are two of my favourites✌️

All of the pieces except for the scherzo are actually really easy. The prelude is way way way easier than it looks, so don't be intimidated by the piece! I wish you luck if you choose to learn them. (The scherzo is really difficult to play though)
@@dablb If we keep romanticizing how challenging short moderately challenging pieces are, it will only become harder for future pianists to build the motivation to attempt them. To bring the Gavotte to it's full potential takes years of experience, and memorizing and performing all of these pieces at full tempo requires several years of devotion to music, but would anyone consider learning them without the capacity for outstanding pianism? For an aspiring pianist with the world in their eyes, I'd say most of these pieces are quite easy to learn and perform
on the contrary. it's very important that the dissonances are perfectly accurate. otherwise you could fall in a consonant chord and completely ruin the moment.
The interesting thing about Prokofiev is that in many of his works he uses a lot of super crunchy melodic dissonances, but not very many crunchy harmonic dissonances beyond the standard stuff
Prokofiev mixes romanticism and modernity just right.
He was truly able to tread the line so well. In his most dissonant works he gives tastes of romantic emotion, and in his most romantic works he sprinkles in witty modernist quips
This mazurka is such a fenomenal little piece, quartal harmony presented in a simple, soothing way…
Frederic Chiu is a very fine interpreter of Prokofiev's music and these performances are excellent!
Thank you so much. Your comments, coming from someone with your perspective and experience, means everything!

21:21 was funny for me
@@quinn7894yeah the drop to main theme is just too funny
Allemanda is something WOW. It’s truly unique Prokofiev’s style. And it gives me a big feeling of time.
This recording of the Gavotte brings me beyond tears every single time. In my opinion, it's one of the best solo instrumental works of all time.
Its really really beutiful
I really love the March, but the Gavotte is great too!
Es tu elección y tu sensibilidad. A mí no me gusta Prokofiev. Nada. Ni un poquito. Pero respeto tu gusto.

@@danielsignorini5845 ¿Entonces donde esta?
MAGNIFIQUEMENT JOUÉ !!!!
Chiu est un excellent pianiste de même qu'un fin connaisseur de Prokofiev... Merci encore ❤.
Wonderfully controlled performance of a fabulously wild-eyed composer.
the prelude is heartmelting
The allemande is exactly why I love Prokofiev
Yes right? 😍👌🏼😆😂

작곡과 화이팅
Wunderbare Stücke phänomenal gespielt!
Cool music. Flawless!
Go Sergei! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I hear him in every note.
March is my favorite!
No one's talking about that Capriccio. It was amazing.
even the allemande...
Yes i loved that! Classic Prokofiev being cheeky-anxious
Came here for it. It was!
What a lovely, captivating prelude.
Thank you so much, I've been waiting for someone to upload a score video of this for months!
And Chiu is my absolute favorite performer for this!
Same bro
I love this. I can’t believe this is his first composition
Well, it's not. It's his Opus 12. But yes, he does seem born already grown up.
prokofiev composed this op 12 much earlier than his opus 1, because the opus indicates publication and composers sometimes publish older works long after their creation, it is known that prokofiev composed several things before this set of pieces, anyway@@robertwalker2052
It’s op. 12 but dated 1906-13 so some of it is earlier than any other published work.
Capriccio and Allemande are my favorite!
Marching sodden in the rain..... Beautiful! :)
Will be performing this in November!!!❤️❤️
has anybody caught the resemblance of the first theme of Capriccio with one in the Passepied from Debussy's Bergamasque Suite ?
Some years ago I discovered these 10 gems, though fell in love only with 4 of them. Now I say they all are gems
Прекрасная работа, господин Чиу! 👏👏👏👍
Thank you, I love this piece!!!!
Thanks for uploading!
Humorous Scherzo - makes me think of toads during rush hour - funny, mildly argumentative. The articulation and rubato are fantastic.
Merci beaucoup.
15:38 La Alemanda es prima hermana de su 2do Concierto para piano... Bravooooo
Facts. Very strong piece.
That quasi legato in the capriccioso 👌
Гениально
This March is music code of Prokofiev, his music portrait.
The 3rd piece reminds me alot of Prokofiev's 3rd concerto's 3rd movement
Wonderful!
Number 1 (The March) might have been the inspiration for Thelonious Monk's - Let's Cool One. The ascending quarter note progression after the key change is strikingly similar. Regardless, they are two of my favourites✌️
This gavotte, this gavotte
I agree, wonderful!!!
The allemande....
@@AsrielKujo YES
No
love no.9
1, 6, and 7 are for me
The Prelude Was Plesant,but the a minor part was wild
This is great!
21:52 scherzo
March reminds Rachmaninov’s etude-tableaux 4 op. 39
I feel Rachmaninoff here🥰
A bit French too?
I am thinking of Legend here I am listening to right now.
I feel satie but more technically difficult
@@Uxcismore like Poulenc imo
IIRC, Prokofiev hated Rachmaninoff's music viscerally. On the other side, he loved Medtner.
The first piece oddly reminds me of Poulenc’s novelette No.2. I know they are friends so it may be one influencing the other.
I like the scherzo
Ding Dang Ding Dang
14:20 😍
As últimas peças da obra me parecem as melhores
Eduardo Rabelo Estranho... prefiro as primeiras
Aliás, que raro um brasileiro aqui
Percebi que tenho uma admiração muito grande de toda a obra artística produzida (especialmente musical) no século XX em relação à de outras épocas. A quebra dos conceitos de arte, marca do movimento moderno, me interessa muito.
@@eduardorabelo5642 Que maravilha. Partilho de seus gostos
What sort of piano grade level would you consider these pieces to be ?
The last piece, the scherzo, is really hard... graduating level
All of them are possible for an intermediate, except the Scherzo which is very, very, hard
Wait, was that a sequence in the Prelude?
The just love the allemande 🤌
Fantástico
Qué maravilla!!!
Lástima que el estalinismo le enguñera y calificara como 'enemigo del pueblo' con sus desvaríos ataques de formalismo, uso de la cacofonia y falta de armonía, al igual que a otros compositores.
13:37
Incredibly hilarous Allemande, Prokofiev treats Germans as true barbarians
bruh lol
Looks like you need the technical prowess of Franz Liszt to play these pieces well.

Prokofiev es un compositor encantadoramente insipido, pero a veces tiene algo de sabor, entonces sabe a Rachmaninov.
Just sight read these. No mean feat
Playing them well is the mean feat
You could probably make a couple mistakes with these pieces and not do them any harm because of all the dissonances.
on the contrary. it's very important that the dissonances are perfectly accurate. otherwise you could fall in a consonant chord and completely ruin the moment.
Why are such misconceptions still being perpetuated
@@slateflash people really don’t understand music very well
