this man tells it like it is, no lofty romanticized explanations. He speaks, and seconds later, the student knows just what he's talking about. Very direct and I love it.

She was very good. Technically very flexible and very musical. And Katsaris is the right man too.

Cette sonate à toujours était l'une des œuvres les plus importantes pour moi (pas seulment en ce qui concerne Chopin). Je sais qu'il y a une certaine nostalgie dans ce sentiment et aussi de l'incompréhension dù à son impopularité. Mais il s'y passe tellement de choses, si belles, du début à la fin.. j'ai beau la connaitre par coeur depuis une décenie, j'y decouvre toujours de nouvelles choses à chaque fois que je l'écoute ou la joue, et j'en suis toujours autant fasciné aujourd'hui.

He aprendido mucho, al ver éste video, sobre cómo interpretar la música, y en especial a chopin; el gran maestro katsaris ha expandido mi horizonte de la apreciación músical y gracias a él he adquirido el hábito de no sólo tocar notas mecánicamente, sino de encontrar lo que el autor de una pieza músical quiso transmitirnos realmente, es decir la verdadera intención, el sentimiento, la escencia de la composición. GRACIAS MAESTRO KATSARIS Y GRACIAS TAMBIÉN A QUIEN HA SUBIDO ÉSTE VIDEO A YT.

A great reason for me to improve my French! Would love to know immediately what Mr. Katsaris is saying.

Amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Katsaris is an absolute genius. I love the detailed approach he takes, so many gorgeous inner melodies and sororities otherwise ignored even by other "masters". His technique is so developed (traced back to Liszt) that he can now pay attention to these things, it's amazing.

これ・・・・まるで自分がレッスン受けた感じになるわ・・・

これめっちゃ参考になるわ

You are fantastick!!!

I wish these were in English or at least had subtitles.

How does she remember all those points without making notes on the score? I would have a pencil at the ready in case I forgot!

Hard to believe he was 42 years old here... He looks much older. I hope his health is ok.

Can someone please tell me what is he playing at 10:47?

Sí, de acuerdo; pero hay que tener un grado de mecanización al principio, es decir hay que tener memorizada la pieza, hay que tenerla mecanizada y después interpretada, el proceso inverso creo no es posible: como puedes sentir la pieza, comprender su escencia, como puedes interpretarla si no la mecanizas primero.

ejecucion-memoria-mecanización-y finalmete interpretación que es la integración de lo anterior a una subjetividad afectivo-emocional de quien interpreta lo que interpreta y que en un sentido riguroso es objetivamente controlada(la interpretación) por las anotaciones del autor en cuanto a matices, crescendos, diminuendos, ritmos, tiempos, texturas, carácteres(temperamento) y hasta por el momento histórico del periodo musical de la pieza que pretendes interpretar.

Cna you PLEASE add english subtitles? PLEASEE

Have to learn either Japanese or French to know what he’s talking about

El ejecutante y el interprete no son lo mismo, de hecho creo que el ejecutante perfecto no es humano sino q debe ser una máquina( un software o algo así), cuando has captado la escencia y la intención de una composición musical y la has adaptado a tu ser con toda seguridad podemos afirmar q has pasado de autómata perfeccionado a intérprete. la ejecución propiamente dicha, es decir la reproducción musical, está supeditada a la técnica, pero el sentimiento es infraestructura de la interpretación.

Haha now feel french poeple's despair when everything is in english hahaha No but seriously, it's too bad, he says really interesting stuff in all of these masterclasses, I will try to make some subtitles whenever I have time ! :)

Eso de que te pasen una partitura para interpretarla en un evento es lo que se llama lectura a primera vista, dependiendo de tu entrenamiento (y talento) musical podrás interpretarla correctemente. Pero ve de nuevo el error en el q caes cuando usas la palabra INTERPRETAR y la confundes con la de EJECUTAR, podríamos pasarnos horas discutiendo sobre esto. Brevemente permíteme explicarte lo q para mí es el PROCESO de INTERPRETACIÓN MUSICAl, creo es como sigue:

CATSARIS >>> CATARSIS

why in french :'(

He does say interesting things, but what is his intent? Does he really expect this student to play the sonata with all his very specific directions? For example, at around 3:02 "No! Pianissimo without pedal the second one." That is a nice touch, but why should a young student do it just because Katsaris demands it? Chopin didn't. The fact is, it is the underlying idea of making something of the music that is important, not the specifics. That is what the student should take home with her.

c est une honte c qui ce mec il a quel diplome ? il connait quoi de chopin?

Bla bla bla

Quite pathetic meeting. What is the of copying every line? Shouldnt there be some plane of imagination? Creativity?

3:03 sexual assault. She/he/it/Ze/They didn't consent! Jail and career end immediately! Lock up this monster!

No point in having a masterclass, if the pupil lacks the technique to play the piece correctly.
