Always a pleasure to learn from such a charismatic person.



[@giancarlomarra9067]

Agree, totally

[@1FREDARMSTRONG]

there's the music and then there's the "life" of it. really remarkable to hear such a master.

[@andrewcoyleireland]

You're a treasure Graham. Well done and thank you!

[@chegayton3797]

Many thanks. Love your fun style, you make it look so easy!

[@patrickwells4014]

I think Rubenstein once mentioned that rubato is to imagine rhythm as a tall tree firmly rooted in the ground with the leaves and branches swaying in the wind. I am paraphrasing this of course.

[@apoorva_i]

That’s Liszt’s description of Chopin’s Rubato actually

Thank you, Graham , delight to listen to, perked up my interest in music expression, and made me feel I may try piano again after left shoulder replacement😊

[@profsjp]

Really insightful. “Going with the flow” in action. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@JuliaPikalova]

Very relevant and helpful comparison with speech, and interesting "body choreography"! I was sometimes using "body conducting" almost subconsciously as well (for example, to help myself with the long phrases), but it's the first time I see someone explain it explicitly. Thank you!

In popular music great example is Whitney Houston - Didn't We Almost Have It All - Saratoga Springs NY, 1987

[@JawwadHafeez]

Best advice....

[@CrystalLiu1]

thx for the explanation. Looking for more videos on choices of interpretation on any piece. Also, looking for videos with more examples on when can use finger pedaling on bach + classical music. Thank you.

[@BobMazzo]

Always something new to learn/relearn. Meno Mosso, for example. Quite useful in demonstrating rubato techniques...thank you Graham.

[@robertoc2485]
