PS: It is called resolving because it redirects the existing tension towards a consonant chord that gives a feeling of stability and conclusion. The resolutions that I have marked are meaningless by themselves if the tension that precedes them is not listended to or is not taken into consideration.

What many people mistake for lack of emotion in this interpretation, is actually the lack of dramatism, which is, likely, intentional. And in a lot of cases, dramatism works like a double-edged sword; depending on the interpretation and audience it might add expression to the piece or make it sound campy. It is also a hard tool to master; if you can't feel it, you better not fake it. We had a joke about pianists - the first thing they learn in music school is faking an orgasm in front of a piano. So, if I had to describe this interpretation, it would be - honest. It's an honest interpretation of Rachmaninoff's work.
@SantiagoLopez-zb2eb
6 жыл бұрын
Not to count how precise a lack of dramatism is in a play such as this, an elegie. It is not a surprise that, sometimes, great sadness -at least in my experience- expresses itself not that much as an intense, dramatic pain, but rather as an unhurried melancholy, a quiet sense of nothingness, as if our inner world was drowsy and numb. I believe such sad numbness is perfectly expressed here. Thank you for your comment, it was very precise.

This elegy by Rachmaninov is as beautiful as it is sad. She seems to be talking about the heartache of a man who has lost everything. This is especially true at the end. It's an ending that rolls head over heels down the mountain to the ground - heartbreaking, furious and bitter. You can’t help but imagine how during it a person throws his hands up and screams of pain and suffering, falling to his knees and crying. A very touching tune. Эта элегия Рахманинова столь же прекрасна, сколь и грустна. Кажется, она говорит о душевной боли человека, потерявшего все. Особенно это заметно в конце. Это финал, который кувырком скатывается с горы на землю - душераздирающий, яростный и горький. Нельзя не представить, как во время него человек вскидывает руки и кричит от боли и страдания, падает на колени и плачет. Очень трогательная мелодия.

This is a great performance, but I wish there was more of a Romantic era quality about it. This seems too mechanical for the time it was written in. Your interpretation is great in its own way, but I would've liked to hear more emotion coming from the piano. At least, that's how I believe Rachmaninoff would have intended it to be. Again though, that's just my opinion, and the performance was technically flawless. :)

I like the interpretation and I say that as someone who learns piano for more than 10 years. It's very simple. A lot of people (mjsicians or not) have a romanticized vision about playing romantic peaces, overdramatized, and expressing too much emotions. But in my opinion a simply, honestly played slow romantic peace can touch the audiance more than an exaggerated one. There are peaces that require that type of interpretation but this isnt one of them.

Amateurs play romantic pieces with way too much rubato and "expressive", short phrasing. Semi-professionals simplify everything because they understand the music on a higher level. But true professionals add just the right nuance and elegant, long phrasing that it sounds perfect.

Безумных лет угасшее веселье Мне тяжело, как смутное похмелье. Но, как вино - печаль минувших дней В моей душе чем старе, тем сильней. Мой путь уныл. Сулит мне труд и горе Грядущего волнуемое море. Но не хочу, о други, умирать; Я жить хочу, чтоб мыслить и страдать; И ведаю, мне будут наслажденья Меж горестей, забот и треволненья: Порой опять гармонией упьюсь, Над вымыслом слезами обольюсь, И может быть - на мой закат печальный Блеснет любовь улыбкою прощальной А.С. Пушкин 1830 As leaden as the aftermath of wine Is the dead mirth of my delirious days; And as wine waxes strong with age, so weighs More heavily the past on my decline. My path is dim. The future’s troubled sea Foretokens only toil and grief to me. But oh! my friends, I do not ask to die! I crave more life, more dreams, more agony! Midmost the care, the panic, the distress, I know that I shall taste of happiness. Once more I shall be drunk on strains divine, Be moved to tears by musings that are mine; And haply when the last sad hour draws nigh. Love with a farewell smile may gild the sky. A. S. Puskin, 1830 Translated by Hon. M. Baring
