One single 'Perlmuter-scale' sounds much better and more sophisticated and played with more musical understanding than the whole LangLang 'circus-recital'! ;-)

he also liked pianos that were out of balance as he believed you play with your ear.a scary teacher though if you were playing not to his liking and warming when you well.

Or to be bored by them! (No offense to the memory of Vlado Perlemuter though--a marvelous pianist!)

@@Radiatoron88 If you are bored by them, you may be practising them wrongly! Played in a creative way, they are great fun and at the same time a good way to warm up.

@@pianopera You are no doubt right, but I'd rather just play the scale passages from pieces that I love. Scales in and of themselves are not "music to my ears." I am curious to know what you do with scales that makes scale playing great fun for you. When I play the scales at the end of, say, Chopin's 1st Ballade, that's exciting and motivating. Same for all other scale passages in great pieces that I love. But scales in and of themselves outside of musical contexts bore me. If you have a video that shows how you play scales in a creative way that makes scales playing fun for you, I'd love to see it!

That's how he gets those biting attacks.

The secret for scales is the te eth

Я же история...

He was not known until the last few years of his life. Dont know where he was before, but his few records contain very beautiful piano playing. Check them out.

he was Ravels top student, played gaspard le nuit at 82, barely escaped n*zi occupied europe [he was jewish] he was blind in the left eye, and has the most beautiful and fluid techniques ive ever seen

chad414 IT was Liszt who got his pupils playing in all keys c major thinking.

+chad414 could you explain a little better what Vlado is doing in the scales? I understand the fingering is the same as c major, but he isn't just playing major scales, is he? Something sounds different. Plus if he were just using the fingering of c major for all major scales, he wouldn't be able to play them through without pausing in between as he does, no?

+Images Oubliées very interesting and thank you!

+Images Oubliées hi. do you mean to say he was playing 1234512345 throughout in this video or it was one of his practices? and not 12312345? it more/less appeared to be the latter, no, in this video? thanks.

yes Liszt did it with his puppils.I did it too.IT trains the ear.

Obaysch Interesting.

i just noticed that!! wow

It appears he is also playing chromatic scales in some variant of that standard fingering as well (?).

@@culturehorse 5 finger chromatic scale. A bit uncomfortable for large hands but very ergonomic. What is mind blowing is his even tone

it is evident... the other fingerings are ridiculous.

While others have to adjust their braces..

young what?

Scales are not important

​@@michieldpiano Rachmaninov said the opposite "Practice scales they are some of the most difficult tasks to achieve"Who Is right:you or Rachmaninov?

​@@pineapple7024 Young sluts pianists of nowadays..do you want names... Guess:La.....Ra......Li.....Wa....Tri.....

Young huh ?

Yes...

As the great old school prescribes.(From Czerny trough Clara Schumann and Martin Krause

Love the denture adjustment

He is in his prime there. Understanding of music only improves with time. He's not throwing darts.
