Also, this student is the perfect example that just goes to show that playing the piano is only an instrument, and the music comes from deep inside the mind and soul.

I watched this months, maybe years ago. The last bar is Sergei Rachmaninoff's signature, Ser eb gei bb Rach gb man eb, ni bb noff bb

she's jsut a little shy why bash her so much people

I think she did really well. It must be so nerve-racking to play in front of him.

I feel that this student should have her teacher come out and get the lesson. She's clearly never been encouraged to think about the music very deeply. However, it does give Mr Itin a chance to explain much more and so for the viewer it becomes more interesting.

Where is the rest please want to see more !!!

Interesting to listen, I don't know what kind of passion this woman has when it comes to Rachmaminoff, but it does not sound like she has it. Difficult to work with this student. Master classes are amazing to watch, I hope there is more Rachmaninoff master classes, only with a student that really feels the music.

Any way I should stop critizing and say I really loved this video. Thanks for posting! You had a very lyrical way of playing it! 👍

I love that Ilya stops her and helps her with phrasing, and techniques to change the color of the notes. I am currently learning this piece, and my teacher is doing the exact same thing with me. I worked on the tenutos on the first 2 pages for 2 weeks just to figure out how to produce a different sound. I also would give the young lady a lot of credit. If I were her I would be so nervous and my brain would be so frozen in the presence of such a great teacher and muscian. Love Ilya Itin. All teachers should teach like this at this level.

Im gona enter an exam with this piece, I hope the teacher will be like this

Jeez am i the only one that had literally 12 ads play during this video.

where's the rest?

Why you didn't let her play the piano and then you can speak...?

i am going to Antarctic soon in my cruiser. most important thing i would carry would be Rach's Op.3 No.1 Elegie and Brahms No.4

Thank you for sharing. graet teacher

I feel some hope in the last part in this piece. I am practicing this these days. but this music is much more difficult than i thought.

With a student as young as her, I don't think her main focus should be her interpretation of the piece. Sure, the piece is most definitely open to rubato and interpretation, but she'd be much better off sticking with Rachmaninoff's score. If she wants to self interpret, then it has to be convincing and so far, I haven't been convinced in the spots where she plays to her liking. Hope she can go far in the future, and also learn a bit of music theory. Would be very interested to see a video of her playing after the Master Class.

Interesting. I've just started studying the Elegie for grade 8 and the teachers notes for the grade suggest that the student develop a narrative to establish what the music is saying.

teacher people never will understand why

WHo understands what that man says - - -chaos

the teacher tries to confuse himself🤣 maybe he plays well but he doesn't know how to teach.

A real artist but may be not a teacher. A good student but not an artist in the future... sorry...
