While I agree with many things David said, I do disagree that Classical music is “simpler” than other genres and is "not sophisticated". Or at least the way he described it. Yes, it has the ability to resonate easily with people of any age, and can elicit direct emotional responses, from joy to sorrow. However, Classical music’s underlying structure is indeed the most complex of any musical genre, in many cases. And perhaps deceivingly so, because it is exactly due to its complexity (and ability to create a multitude of sounds from a large variety of instruments), that make its communication of feelings so much more effective and broader than other genres. Moreover, the various tasks Classical composers have requires a great deal of skill and talent, which should never fall under the category of being called “simpler.” If David meant simple, only in regards to enjoying the music, that might be true for casual listeners, but seasoned listeners generally analyze the music after a first impression in great detail. They study why a composer used a particular instrument here or there, or how they created such a mournful melody or joyful one with a unique progression of notes, or made a transition here, or should have used one there etc. And examining the structure of a symphony or piano concerto in great detail, for example, is not simple, it too requires effort and some degree of fine-tuned skills from the listener. And I do look at Classical music as being more than just “entertainment,” even if many only view it that way, like David. For me, it spotlights the ultimate talents of those who strive to create such wonders as Beethoven’s “3rd Symphony,” Dvorak’s “9th Symphony,” or Sibelius’ “5th Symphony” and stand as artistic monuments to human effort and achievement. And such sublime works of art deserve high acclaim and even reverence. Granted, some Classical music was meant to be more trivial in nature, but in regard to the major works, they deserve not only our respect, but the efforts of all of us to keep this music alive at all costs, for our generation and all future generations. Because the world of Classical music lovers is very small, and dwindles with each succeeding generation. And it would be a tremendous lose to humanity if it became buried under the mountains of media and data that's already cluttering the globe.

Amazing performance! Just wonder do the split piano exam needs any theory requirements. My daughter just finished her RCM level 8.

My first conscious awareness and attraction to classical was Prokofiev's Troika. I was eight years old and we had just bought our first stereo system at a new thing called a shopping mall. (Ours was an historic mall and praised by the Canadian journalist and promoter of urban studies, Jane Jacobs. Alas it was completely demolished a few years ago. Thanks Amazon ...) Our stereo was one of those compact "suitcase" model with a turntable/speaker and second lid or cover and speaker. The Prokofiev piece was on a free LP record that sampled various kinds of music including a song called Rag Mop ("Ragg mopp ragmop!") But I also believe that for me film soundtracks played a role as they did with 50s/early 60s jazz. Now I have more cd box sets than I may live to hear completely? Mr. Hurwitz has placyed a significant role in this. He's a genius at what he does. Thank you sir.

Beautiful!! Fantastic non-legatos

Wonderful playing! You have really inspired my students!

Nice one 👍

One would think that someone as talented, witty, educated, knowledgeable as David Hurwitz would NOT need to shadow-ban viewers who disagree with whom or who have different opinions and views, but the does. Very sad. Totalitarianism is alive and well even in the real of music criticism.

Супер исполннние !!!

i love richard adkinsons videos...they are excellent

How long did it take you to learn this song 😮! It's so good❤

It is reality unbelievable that a serious music crític considers music "just an entertainment".

W playing

Amazing dedication to reach Level 10 by the age of 12.

Fantástico!

What an excellent question and even more so response by David on what music criticism is! 👍👍

Well done !

Awesome keep it going!!

A dream child. The performances he gave in Moscow when he was ten are Out Of This World. Especially the Ravel. I am so glad to see he is playing still. Much encouragement to him . . .

Мы очень круто и как раз чуть музыкальной школе на рояле это предел

I looked into that Beverly Jerold book. First, it’s hilarious that some musicologists/musicians are still unwilling to bite the bullet on Beethoven’s metronome marks. The lengths they go to dismiss them through ridiculous conjectures and mental gymnastics is mind-boggling. One of the statements she makes in that book is that Maelzel - like an evil mage of some sort - manipulated/brainwashed a weak-minded Beethoven who would have surely refused Maelzel if he weren’t deaf but under these circumstances; he had no choice but to comply… I wish I were making this up. She also argues that most musicians of Beethoven’s time weren’t skilled enough to play it at that tempo, therefore they’re invalid… That’s like saying professional orchestras shouldn’t play music of Beethoven’s time because they didn’t exist back then.

Какая умничка, так душевно сыграла

SAns traduction....impossible comprehension...(tout le monde ne parle pas le British)

A minute in and my favorite pianist is mentioned, this was a very good Interview. Definitely deserves more views.

Hermosa ejecucion, compás en Do menor.... Eleva el espiritu y purifica nuestra, alma!!!!!

A piece of art. Uncommon in 2023. People is very deaf to art.

Eu creio em Deus e são Jorge amem

Everyone did so well! Congratulations to all!

Very enjoyable. It must be nice to be back to live performances.

It’s so fast I don’t even know what’s happening anymore

Wha's the name of the student?? You should give him credit for such outstanding performance! Why was his name omitted???

He talks no sense about the definition of music, art, and proves his stupidity by saying that classical music expresses very basic emotions only. He has a very partial knowledge, by being focused on a huge quantity of same things. First of all: different musical art works were made according to different views of music, and many of them were certainly NOT about basic emotions or entertainment. Also the concept of entertainment needs many footnotes, principally when talking to today´s audience

9:48 wtf, so much knowledge for what? haha

Bravo!
