LONGER VIDEOS PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Wish the MAESTRO devotes longer time explaining the pieces,,, these vids are so precious!!

Would love to see a video on Franz Liszt - Liebesträume No. 3 in A-flat Major

Please, continue to teach!

One of Chopins most beautiful pieces in my opinion, thank you Maestro.

...profound knowledge....deep understanding....completely authentic human being and most gifted musician....always a pleasure to watch and learn.!!!!! Only music helps

it should be 10 min on... that would be Great!!!

Please make the videos longer. The 1)playing is soul soothing, the 2)interpretation is uplifting and the 3)background and history deepens the appreciation for the piece, the composer and your rich experience Maestro. We sppreciate this honor greatly. Please keep those three components of the videos going.

Thank you sir. For those of us who share your love of music but will never attain anything near your breath taking ability your words and demonstrations, advice, insight and wisdom are beyond description.

Feel really privileged to hear your kind and generous teachings on you tube Mr Daniel Barenboim. Thank you. I am filled with gratitude. X

Absolutely great musician and lovely human being!

Maestro, There are no words to express how deeply your playing has touched my soul. I recently discovered you as part of the journey I'm on grieving for the loss of my Father. Since his passing I've come back to playing piano and was searching examples of the pieces I'm working on. When I came across your videos I was left breathless and speechless, which positioned me entirely transfixed and absorbed in listening. In any case, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for giving me these precious gifts. Little did I know when I heard you play that your are also a truly master at writing and philosophy. I was a philosophy graduate, focusing in political philosophy. I have since devoured your books, and again thank you for the mentorship and inspiration. I feel that you embody the essence of profundity. I truly hope, now one of my greatest wishes, it to have the opportunity to hear you play in person, and also to speak with you if possible.

Dear Daniel, Feel so enriched and enlightened hearing you speak and play. . Your wisdom , knowledge , passion and character is o inspiring and life giving. .

Music, the purest form of art

As a music teacher across KS3 and 4 these videos are perfect. Thank you, Daniel, for making them. So inspirational and informative.

A great FAN of yours......these short lessons are important.....please continue these as they will always be here! I'm obsessed with chopin, bach, beethoven, etc.....especially since losing my wonderful pianist brother who inspired a love for music in me.

Excelente Maestro. Comentarios que todos podemos entender, los que no somos músicos. Sus interpretaciones son mis preferidas, especialmente Beethoven. Muchas gracias !!

Daniel, no tengo ese don suyo. Quisera ser usted durante un día. Tiempo en el cual no me levantaría de ese piano. Gracias por sus videos.!!

Thank you Maestro. Very informative. Chopin's way of modulating is quite unique. Could you do a short piece about HOW his music modulates so smoothly and naturally? Thank you so much.

Incluso para los que somos aficionados su explicación resulta simple y perfectamente comprensible. Aunque el video 'sólo' dure 5 minutos son 5 minutos de una clase magistral con valiosa información la que nos regala. ¡Gracias por compartirlo maestro!

I think the format you've developed ... five minutes on a VERY specific topic ... is just perfect. Legato using Chopin as an example was a new idea to me, and I appreciate how quickly you got to the point. If you want suggestions for other topics: 1. Beethoven's use of forte and piano side by side for big effects. 2. Bach's use of multiple voices to create harmony. 3. Brahm's use of internal melody nested within harmony. 4. Ravel's use of repeated notes to mimic the pointalism of impressionism. These are pretty standard, but your presentation of the ideas could be very interesting. Thanks for the lovely educational moment.

It is always amazing to spend even one word or one note with you Sir Daniel!!! I have learned so much from you through the years years. The deep understanding of every note, every composition, every phrase is beyond comprehension and you so freely share with anyone willing to learn!!!! I play on an original Erard Fortepiano and I m especially interested in your journey in music with your super piano.....!!!!!!

Que sorte encontrar Daniel Barenboim por aqui, em meio a tanta porcaria! Bravíssimo!!!

Hello Mr Barenboim. First I would like to thank you for all of your work to share your knowledge. I have two questions : do high skilled pianists learn new pieces the same way they would have learned those in their first year of practice, in terms of sightreading and overall comprehension of the musical character ? I believe that the sensation of surprise never dies even after 60 years of musical experience. Also, how do you imagine the future of music for the 21st century ? Do you think that we will go back to tonal genres to forget integral serialism and other strict atonal techniques, since these techniques never managed to be accepted broadly by the audiences - a lot of people still find it cold, elitist, without any humanity - and leaded to a dead end when we finished to explore them in details in the late 20th century. On the other hand, tonal music never ceased to offer innovations and variety for composing styles. I believe that we didn't finished to explore all the richness tonal music had to offer, and especially romanticism, because romanticism was a synthesis of baroque techniques (counterpoint), technical discoveries from the classical period (new instruments, developed orchestration) and new emotions revealed in the beginning of the 19th century. I tried to be as clear as possible for these questions. Ludwig DeLarge

I used to live in Chicago when barenboum was there at the CSO. He was great. My favorite performance was in 2004 when he played the piano on Beethoven's piano concertos while also conducting at the same time. The piano had no lid so that the orchestra could watch him as he sat playing the piano and conducting.

You can only guess the pleasure your 5minute serried gives me. Thank, Thank you. I have ALWAYS loved your playing.

Thank you Maestro for studying Chopin and his music so beautiful

I have never delved into the world of classical music until now. Mainly because I have never understood how to. You enlighten and inspire me with every lesson. Thank you 🙏

Daniel explained with extreme accuracy the piano boundness in Chopin compositions.

Kapellmeister Barenboim you must give us more on the great Chopin and his nocturnes. This no doubt was the beggining of many more lessons stories and musical certainties thank you 🙏

Vorrei saper suonare bene così facilmente come il Maestro 😊

Thanks very much for this, I really enjoyed it. I only wish it were 50 minutes on Chopin's Op. 27/2.

again musician and muse together...thank you...you are so free...freer than ever. legato...i loved the way you described it as linking notes to one another...and as a dying sound binding to the next...so spiritual, mystical...transcendental...almost religious...aren´t we all just that... and loved a lot when you said and how you poetically pronounced " ...ends very very ...peacefully....", shouldn´t we all deserve that nocturne quality as precious human beings.... and also loved a lot when you say ..." and then just closes... " and that poetic dreamy look of yours into the distance... lost in a dream...where chopin lives...daniel you really take us there...with your music...with your words... and with that look of your eyes. i wish you could play a public recital just for yourself..... ad libitum....a piacere...con amore...improvising...feeling freer than ever to make mistakes...to stop...to change...playing 3 times a row a nocturne...in 3 different ways the way it pleases your soul...3 different ways to make at the end the magical transition of sound into silence...just for the sake of it...breaking the chains....cause is beautiful......and where phones were almost prohibited inside for once...and clapping not recommended until the very end....cause heaven must be like that....maybe you are not allowed to do that...or maybe here in youtube for just us you can...thanks anyway...

Maestro Barenboim, I love this video and the concept behind your series "5 Minutes On..." The brevity and the often profound insights are much appreciated. This series is a pleasure. I cannot wait to see what's next!

Mesmerizing. Thank you.

What a brilliant teacher!

Wow these videos what what I've been hoping to find for years!! So Glad you made them... Please extend into longer version...! Love you!

The discovery of this channel has been wonderful for me this year. Thank you so much!!

Lovely, just lovely. Thank you!

תודה דניאל, מעניין ומעשיר.

Very nice...all of it....merci Daniel

Absolutely great channel Daniel!

This is what makes KZfaq so beautiful. What a gift.

I m sure there is a reason for 5 minute videos, they seem to be a teaser 😀 I love the format, it’s giving me some appreciation and further perception on pieces I love already and allowing me to explore them more myself. Being guided by such a musician is a privilege

This is so precious an utterly beautiful. Thank you so much for you effort and willingness Maestro.

Wonderful videos - thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

que felicidad me brinda ud. gran maestro, en trocitos de 5 minutos.gracias!

Excellent episode! You make us love music even more. I would love to hear you talking about the way Chopin uses modulations in his Nocturnes. Thank you

You are a wonderful human being. Thank you for these wonderful lessons.

Music from heaven played by the most talented pianist on earth. The legato melody was so beautiful....Maestro thank you for sharing your knowledge and thoughts with us. Looking forward to your new clips on KZfaq.

Thank you Maestro. So great to have a chance to learn from you.

You are a great teacher Sir Barenboim

I’ve loved every video and I’m still going back and enjoying them immensely. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent and bringing these composers and their music to us.

no one understands music like you do. thank you for sharing your talent.

Absolutely adore hearing you speak about music and performing. These videos really fill me with joy. Thank you so much!

Grazie Maestro. I notturni di Chopin sono estremamente vocativi e struggenti. La loro orecchiabilità cela sapientemente difficoltà tecniche ed interpretative che soltanto un grande esperto di musica come lei è capace di spiegare con una facilità disarmante. Amo troppo la musica di Chopin e la rispetto profondamemte, per questo mi limito a suonare alcuni suoi pezzi raramente ma soprattutto suonando in completa solitudine. Interpretare Chopin è un'arte, un'arte posseduta da poche mani esperte e sapienti. Un'arte che io sono consapevole di non avere abbastanza. Le Op 62 n1 ed op27 n2 sono i miei notturni preferiti. Nonostante sia passato molto ma molto tempo, queste opere restano ancora vive e prorompenti tanto che potrei definirle eterne. Grazie

Wonderful, thank you very much, Daniel.

Thank you, Maestro Barenboim. Most inspiring. These brief lectures will have a lasting and indelible benefit for posterity.

Mais que perfeito Sr. Barenboim

Wish you to continue this videos forever! this is an amazing way to learn and understand music for young or amateur listeners.

Never have dream that I would have a chance to listen to the lectures from a maestro. How precious it is.

So very glad I found you on KZfaq.I have long enjoyed your artistry and now I am learning so much from these five minute seminars. Please keep posting. Thank You.

Thank you for all those beautiful videos... Chopin is one of the master oh Piano composition and your vids are very beautiful and pleasant. Thank you very, very much.

The ending cadence before the coda is gorgeous! Goosebumps....

Des commentaires toujours très fins, dits simplement, illustrés, expliqués.On en redemande. Le legato, donc, encore et toujours,dans le n°2 de l'opus 27. J'y retourne... Merci à ce grand monsieur.

Thank you so much for enriching my life with your knowledge and love of music.

Muchas gracias Daniel,muchas gracias Maestro.

Your music is magical! I returned to the piano recently and greatly admire your teaching style. Please continue to provide 5 minute videos.

Beautiful - thank you, Maestro! What a privilege to listen to you speak, play and teach. Thank you. - I would be so grateful for more, and more. And -- longer talks, too, please..... To have long, long videos, when we can hear you play and speak and teach at length; in which you say all that you can say from your mind/ heart/life about a piece ---what an incredible gift they would be to us all. So many people would learn not only music from you, but needed wisdoms about life, goodness, politics, justice (in you, these registers are all interwoven.) In such very dark political times, how very many of us would be sustained by such a program, and - so grateful. -- Rebecca, Melbourne, Australia

Bella clase práctica sobre "legato". Gracias mil

Maestro, please do sessions more often. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is always a pleasure to listen to you!

Thank you so much❤ My attention was fully yours!

Thank you Maestro Barenboim for sharing little nuggets of information regarding the art of classical piano music to the masses. I can only selfishly wish for your videos to be longer!

I wish we could hear to your entire rendition of these pieces! I am so captivated by the notes that you play and the way how you are able to make the piano come alive- it is a really sad thing that the themes end so abruptly.

Dear Maestro Barenboim, first of all, thank you for this new approach to your audience. I enjoy your videos very much and agree with many commentators, that your videos could very well be a bit longer. Besides I'd be very curious what you might have to say about Liszt's Sonata in b minor in particular about the unusual structure of the sonata. Thank you in advance for any future videos. Luzie

Thank you Maestro for your illuminating way to teach Music.

Txs very much! Your answers are helpful and not so complicated as often found in classical music.

thank you so much Mr Barenboim for taking the time to initiate us to the Music you know so well. I am very grateful .

Beautiful music ❤️🎶 thank you for Sharing and explain to us all!

Daniel! Me sorprendo cada vez que te escucho. Siempre creando felicidad en todos los ordenes de la vida!!!

Fantastic video from a true hero

Always amusing when Maestro Barenboim introduces a piece, and the background music or signature tune launches into Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata! These videos are however priceless and are a testament to Maestro Barenboim's place in music history.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, for sharing your deep knowledge of the piano, of music, but most of all, for sharing your love and respect for music making. Invaluable these videos! Blessings, maestro !

We r very pleased with Your brief,but,useful explanation,Maestro!Chopin will live forever

Gracias por este regalo! Es un placer escucharlo

Gracias por sus videos y sus enseñanzas!

El legato maravilloso de Chopin. Gracias Maestro

Por favor!!! ... muchas gracias a tí, por ofrecernos tu tiempo, dedicación y tus conocimientos. 🙏💐

Merci beaucoup d'expliquer d'une manière aussi intéressant la musique de Chopin. J'aime vos 5 minutes. ..

I was listening to my play list of all Nocturnes and all of sudden notification of this video popped up.. can't beat that!! Thank you Sir Daniel Barenboim!!!!

hi daniel i am 23 years old and i am new to classical music, i have been listening for about 4 years i got into it after clicking on a video of bernstein conducting beethovens seventh symphony 2nd movement and since then i havent stopped, i am so happy i found classical music also i loved your performance at bbc proms in 2012 i watch it daily on youtube classical music is real music thank you for doing what you do i always look forward to your videos

Muy bien, gran maestro, estoy comenzando a ver estos vídeos y ya he aprendido algunas cosas que desconocía. Muy instructivo. La gente sabia como usted existe para educar al mundo. Muchas gracias, maestro Barenboim.

Wonderful piece! I could look and hear many hours to your videos, very interesting and relaxing! Is it possible to make the videos 5 to 10 minutes long? Thank you very much!

Maestro Barenboim you are a true inspiration , I have nothing but respect and admiration for your talent. As a teacher, a maestro, a virtuoso and a father to us all musicians I am happy and greateful to have seen your videos and heard you play. Good health to you for ever and longer, Guillaume Vaillancourt

Soy de Argentina, es usted mi ídolo. Me gustaría mucho alguna pieza de Schumann, y muchas gracias por estos minutos!

It's always a great pleasure to hear your precious and passionate explanations. They are very important for me who hasn't the chance to learn music. I do love Chopin's music and his world. The last notes you play in this video make me dreamy.

Am inspired with short bursts of knowledge thank you Daniel 👩

Maravilloso todo lo que hace este GRAN ARTISTA GENIAL. Bendito es

My favourite nocturne. Thank you for the video!

Thank you for your incIsive commentary. Chopin’s Nocturne in Db Opus 27 # 2. This nocturne is one of his most beautiful. I’d love for your segments to be longer but I’m grateful nonetheless! Thank you!
