Lovely compilation. On another occasion at a concert at Wigmore Hall, he announced that he would be performing the Hammerklavier and said to the audience "I hope you don't mind" 😂 He then proceeded to say something along the lines of- when I was younger I could play the notes of the sonata but couldn't really understand it. Today, it is the other way around 😂

Thank you very much! Yes! It was from the recital dedicated to the memory of Bernard Haitink. In a future compilation I will certainly add it👍🏻

Oh these are absolutely precious! I love his musicality best but his humour is second to none. His remarks are often very witty and show his great wisdom. Thanks for this :)

Thank you! Am so glad someone has put all these wonderful moments together. There is another time in a masterclass with Anna Han, playing Schumann’s 1st sonata: He tells her at one stage, “Go crazy.” A few mad bars later, “When I say go crazy, yes, but don’t go crazy.”

I was lucky enough to be in his recital in Beijing in October 2019. We were so excited and kept clapping and he did like 5 encores. In the end, his last encore was simple, short, and sweet - Silent Night 😂 what a treasure

me siento afortunado en saber que Sir András Schiff es uno de los concertistas de piano mas grandes de la historia, pero es un triunfo pírrico ya que también me entristece profundamente que solo pocos lo sepan y puedan entender el por que de esta afirmación.

He is talking about the trill.

I wanted him to go on and explain what the hell that trill is in D. 960, because I've wondered all my life.

@musikalischesopfer 2 жыл бұрын

It really is one of the strangest moments in music literature! I personally came to two different conclusions, in the first one; Schubert simply embellished the cadence in the soprano (bflat going to f) with a “trilled” appoggiatura in the bass line, in a sort of “falso bordone” style. In the second one; he wanted to add a kind of humours element by imitating the top voice going down a major 2nd, compared to the lower voice going down a minor 2nd.. three and a half octaves below! creating this funny dialogue between these two voices so far a part😄🎶

@fiandrhi 2 жыл бұрын

@@musikalischesopfer very interesting you hear this as humorous. You may be right. I've always gone to the (maybe too obvious) explanation that the trill is intended as a portend of death. That is, the sudden disquieting thought that it will all soon be over interrupting a youthful, blithe, and optimistic melody.
