Like the first light of dawn, this music opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and torpor of the sleeping watchmen🤮
Antoine Prochorian they're wonderful! The first etude is very Brahmsian; it sounds like music the great German composer would have written if he had lived 10 more years
Incredibly beautiful and technically amazing. Some have challenged the name (Etude) and in truth they are closer to the Etude Tableau of Rachmaninoff - picture works. But historically, an etude had as its goal the exploration of a specific idea - scales, double scales, grace notes, polyrhythms, dense chords, etc. This seemed to be missing in these pieces. Anyone familiar with Szymanowski's music immediately recognizes its lushness and impressionistic indeterminacy.
It seems to me instead that the technical purposes, although not so obvious, are instead well present in the composer's mind, and are visible from the score that accompanies the music. For example, in the first piece there is a continuous 3 against 2 between the two hands, and sometimes even in the same hand; in the second, in addition to the 3 vs 2 between right and left, there are also the chromatic thirds with the weak fingers of the right (2-4 and 3-5), while at the same time the thumb of the same hand performs a melodic function, often rising or descending chromatically. The third piece, on the other hand, is a sort of song, in which the difficulties are linked to the cantability that pours from one hand to the other; finally, the fourth, in addition to all the difficulties of the previous ones, also has chromatic thirds, fourths and sixths for the right, often in far from easy combinations (diminished chords for example)

Estoy descubriendo este compositor. En los momentos serenos de mi alma esta es la música que me gusta. Saludos desde la Patagonia Argentina.Gracias por subirlo.-
idk i really love the number 3. it kinda gives me that "missing something" feeling and a little bit "butterfly in the stomach" feeling.. i really can't explain
conan2717 it's fabulous. The melancholy of this work is overwhelming; it's Chopinesque with a touch of Paderewski, but nevertheless Szymanowski's individual style always predominates
I can hear a puzzling similarity between these Etudes (especially No. 1), Rachmaninov's Preludes op.23 (especially No. 2), and Albeniz;s Iberia. All of these pieces were composed in the first decade of the 20th century. Can it then be called "fashion"?
in the first etude, can someone please explain why the RH triplet+8th note combinations are stemmed so that the last note of each appears to sound together, when in reality they do not? I'm trying to learn the piece and it's driving me insane
Its a rhythmic shorthand, in reality they DO sound together. Think of the lower line as a triplet quarter note plus a triplet 8th note, notated as two straight 8 notes. If you were to play it as a triplet and straight 8th notes, you'd have to very rapidly repeat that last note of the group, which would be completely out of the character of the piece.
@@softnflabbybut look for example at the second measure at 0:37 that is just incorrect notation - the upper voice is 8ths, the bottom is triplets, they should not sound together after a rest.
Sounds plausible. Why would one write in that key? Did he hate violinists? Would that be a theoretical key? I am not thaaat familiar with esoteric keys :-( And will stand corrected... can you link something ?? This is
Thanks for that info....I learned something new today that is realy inteesting and handy. My daughter is lust finding out about double#s and flats, and that has to do with it.... About composers giving 0fucks: An oboist once complained to R. Strauss about his part being too difficult, because it was composed from the piano. Strauss responded: "It probably doesn't work on the piano either"... He did not compose from the piano.
Wow ! I thought this was Anderszewsky who has specialized in Szy- but this fabulous musical thinking and exceptional playing . Roscoe is not just another pianist his playing makes this not always so easy to love music say something !
Szymanowaki was a truly unique 20th century voice in music, it’s so sad that he isn’t better known. His Masques, the 2nd sonata, the Symphony Concertante- plenty of masterpieces still waiting to be properly discovered. As far as piano composers go he easily stands on the same level as Rachmaninov and Scriabin imo
I cannot say how much I love this set.
This guy's touch is so good! Absolutely jealous.

KAROL SZYMANOWSKI, GENIUSZ ♥️
wielki polski kompozytor. Przepiękna muzyka, wspaniałe wykonanie, bardzo dziękuję.

Obviously the idea of the first Etude is the polyrhythm of 2 against 3...
@@Fanchen I agree - I guess what I was saying is that the technical "lesson" is not as apparent as Chopin or even Rachmaninoff.
elegant, beautiful.

Bravo bravo bravo brilliance fantastic grandiose genial music
The first and fourth ones are just 🤤
Toutes les études sont très belles, mais la 3e... Elle est magique!❤❤❤❤
Beautiful
No. 2 is like if Chopin’s Black Key and Stravinsky’s Op. 7 had a baby together.
idk i really love the number 3. it kinda gives me that "missing something" feeling and a little bit "butterfly in the stomach" feeling.. i really can't explain
I love the third piece...

@@timothythorne9464 a little like Chopin Op. 25, no. 7 with those RH scalar runs.
@@Mr.Dziej72 the cello etude? you mean LH runs
I would believe if someone said the first one is a nocturne
It's certainly in that type of style!
The second one is like a salad with Chopin op. 10 nos 5 and 10, op 25 nº 9 and Stravinsky op. 4 nº 2, and nº 3 reminds me to Scriabin op. 8 nº 11
Enzo Giarraputo -- True, and the No. 3 Andante is justly famous. Greetings from San Agustinillo, Oaxaca!
Karol and Scriabin sounds like they shared an apartment.
아.........
아주 감미로운 연주로구나 ..........
This music is so satisfying to my soul.
This performance is stunning too.

ピアノが弾けることも大事ですが、外見にも気を配りたい。アルゲリッチ程になると本当に皆に愛され、一般にはお行儀が悪くても良く見えるものです。
Didn't Szymanowski once write a piece in 13 flats?
He lived in a flat, I guess, but no key I know has thirteen...

Snafuski exactly when you can just write F major/Dminor lmao
also how does a key have 13 flats when there are only 12 possible notes (chromatic scale lol)...hint: they dont
Scriabin wannabe??

The RH figuration in No. 2 seems to be the same as the 2nd etude in Stravinsky's Op. 7 set.
Nikolai Lester I think that too :)
Such a beautiful piece!!!

Hello! Does anyone has score with fingering? It would be very helpful!
Lovely.

私のグッチのスカーフは絶対にいいです。ピアニストには相応しい。私はグッチのスカーフを買い過ぎました。でも一切後悔はしていません。イギリス王室御用達の香水は買ったし、毎日フランス製の紅茶が飲めてピアノが弾けたら、素晴らしいと思います。
Very nice music

CHOPIN’s GHOST lives in most of these composers. They can’t get Chopin out of themselves.
