Very good and clear analysis!! Thank you

Wonderful. Well done. Have you ever played this piece on an ill-tempered piano? What I’ve enjoyed about KJ’s 1975 performance is his relationship with the piano provided to him at the Köln concert. Had its own character. Enjoyable to hear a virtuoso reproduction with today’s recording.

" So much pressure on the pinky "...just loved that thought. You Sir, are a great communicator and a fine pianist as well. Many thanks for sharing.

I learned Bach inventions. When I was young. I played them differently from everyone else I've ever heard them play. This was many years ago when in Junior High and the dinosaurs roam the hallways. I always bring forward the melody while keeping the accompaniment section staccato and softer. Interestingly my piano teacher actually thought it sounded well. Forward a couple of decades my Senior year at Belmont University School of Music teaching a student this inversion and my own piano teacher and I get into a debate about interpreting this invention 😅. Dr. Robert Marler staring me down shaking his head. Me bringing my eyebrows together staring back in disagreement. Epic confrontation at the rehearsal hall while others are frozen in place watching concert pianist and under grad student unwilling to back down over a Bach invention. That's my experience with Bach invention no. 8.😅😂 we made peace and I graduated.

Can someone explain how the accacciatura in the second subject is treated? Like why is it there if it doesn't affect the rhythm or isn't played as a grace note?

Great video Thank you

In the ending by Mitsoku Uchida the last note simply tears you apart. Perfect ending!.

Thank you Sir for your learned explanation presented in such harmony with nature!. Greetings from Sri Lanka!

Beautiful analysis and playing, thank you!

Thank you for this video. Words lack the essence needed to capture the beauty of this piece...

C’est BEAUCOUP BEAUCOUP TROP VITE! Contresens sur Fauré.

I've been fascinated with this one since I heard bassist Jeff Berlin play it ("Bach") on his second album Pump It! back in 1986. He also plays a great solo on it as well. Took some liberties, of course.

Brilliantly presented and explained.

I find it interesting how the music relies entirely on tempo and textural changes to evoke the sadder events in the prelude, rather than shifting into a minor key or pouring on the drama.

The way you've analyzed this beautiful music is so impressive. Thank you

Very very nicely played. I'm currently playing this piece also. Your scales are very clear indeed. Do you play the scales with full pedal or just a little bit? Thank you!

This is soo beautiful!!

You completely ignored the dainamics

I thought the part at 0:31 is supposed to be a B7 chord

I wonder why he didn't put an octave in the left hand at 22:17. You think it would add to the sonority and finality of that section

It's funny how he writes tre chorde later on. I guess he forgot to write una corda on the f sharp major section. Brahms was a huge fan of the una corda pedal.

This was actually really good to see

The little emojis in the music are a nice touch and very funny

05:55 Debussy also used that exact same chord somewhere in the « Des pas sur la neige » prélude Edit: bar 21

"With the Major we get a little hopeful ☺ but then, in the end ... it didnt work out, it goes back to minor 😢" Story of his life

This was really an excellent explanation. Thank you!!

Great arrangement! With the written score you can really see how it is influenced by “Sabre Dance” by Khatchaturian . Always sounded familiar and further when you delve into the music the more the rhythms/modulations/scales really match up

Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Loved the tie

You should analyse Por una Cabeza Tango. Most famous tango full of modulations.

I've never cried so much over a music theory lesson! Beautiful piece, beautiful extrapolation.

I was lucky to see KJ twice at Boston's Symphony Hall...simply brilliant. Koln Concert Section llb has some of the most beautiful musical moments ever recorded...sheer genius.

I'm a Korean. What country are you from? 😊 I'm learning piano. Your video is touching. I love Beethoven:)

can i please request Chopin Ballade number 2? haha i feel its violent, but it has so much hidden gems inside ahhahha. thank you human!!!

Many years ago I attended a lecture of classical music in cartoons at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. After the lecture there was a reception in the lobby. I was amazed to see Richard Sherman there! And later on I ran into Michael Giacchino in the bathroom lol! I wanted to approach him but considering the circumstances I was way too embarrassed! When I saw him again he was chatting it up with Richard Sherman which really overwhelmed me to approach either of them.

Obrigado!

I love your analyses. They’re incredibly useful for when I’m struggling with a piece. I found your video on the Revolutionary Etude particularly useful! If you intend to do future analyses on film themes, I can thoroughly recommend Joe Hisaishi’s scores for Hayao Miyazaki’s films. They’re quite interesting harmonically, and many of them have great melodies.

that descending melody kills me every time

This is wonderful ❤️

Thanks for your video! love your tie!!

Merci beaucoup

If one wouldn't know the corresponding movie scene, there would be NOTHING "tear jerking" in the music. It's just one of these usual "old-timey", "circus/fair"-feeling, schmaltzy pieces. Harmonically and formally, it's even a bit clumsily written.

Its playable

Really cool to see you expand the channel there's far too much good music out there, lovely playing!

Awful playing and out of tune

I usually don't comment on youtube but you deserve more Subs my bro ❤️ Please do more videos and don't be tired. Your videos are amazing 🔥🔥

Forgot to mention how it rips off the Jetsons theme

Can you do chopin's aeolian harp etude next?

I want to attempt this piece, but would you say its difficulty is Henle ~7? I have trouble playing pieces harder than that level

Wonderful analysis and beautiful playing. Thanks.
