The description of Bach''s style at 8:01 is one of the most interesting insights in music I have ever heard.

You are articulating the gestalt of a musical piece. The very fact of our humanity, and hence our unique nervous system, lends attack, hesitation, and strength changes, as well as an interpretive signature to whatever we play. This is the reason I have intolerance for music that has “fixed” all of the “mistakes” in pitch and time. Happy holidays, Nahre ❤🙏

I have often felt that great music and great literature are the same, in how they are intricately build worlds subject to an endless exploration. A great story always feels right; you don't feel like changing a single word, let alone a scene. Your analysis reminded me of that idea. Thanks for the great work as always Ms. Sol. Looking forward to more insights like these.

This makes me think that there is less of a gulf between us improvisors and composers overall! I had always thought that composing was more of an intentional matter of taking theoretical elements of music and using them to "paint a picture" with a known palette of theory and technique. It seems that the idea of "just letting it flow" applies to both!

Exactly right Ms Sol. All compositional decisions need to be guided by a very clear emotional intention directing the musical storytelling and every detail of rhythm, melody, harmony, texture, colour etc. Without emotional clarity there can be no musical clarity or consistency in either composition or interpretation. Musicians young and old need to hear this every day! Thank you for your wonderful work. I love your pianistic skills and the workings of your creative and analytical musical mind.

Dear Nahre, I am so grateful for you! ☺ You have a gift for conveying knowledge in a wonderfully warm and appealing manner. I am a professional pianist and, without fail, learn from your presentations; yet, they are just as accessible and enjoyable to amateur music lovers, young and old, of all levels. Kudos! Keep up the fine work! 👍

Awesome, thank you! Here are my takeaways:
• Having EMOTIONS as a PRIMARY FOCUS
• Paying ATTENTION TO how each technical DETAIL can AFFECT these emotions
• Not hesitating to USE BASIC ELEMENTS (with purpose, these basic elements will convey unique emotions).
Those are great reminders, especially when we lose track of them due to a lack of inspiration.

I love this channel! I'm not that much of a musician but I do love the piano, and you breaking down the complexity of learning about the technical aspects of music is so interesting and captures my short attention span unlike any book of lecture would do. Thank you so much! I actually think I'm learning something! You're awesome!

In theatre dance we talk about "finding the breath" of a choreography. It's pretty much the same concept. And you can hyperhanalyse it into constituent parts (accents, dynamics, single notes/movements etc) or keep the focus on the general intention, but breath (influencing both your psychological and physical states) ties it all together. However, more than one kind of breath might work for a piece (see Bernstein on Gould's interpretation, and yet it moves).
As an offshoot, towards another musical world, but from this perspective, check out how Victor Wooten talks about music.

I totally agree with the others calling Nahre Sol a genius! The feeling that is created by certain works of music by certain composers is a familiar but abstract concept, which she's somehow articulated in a concrete way that makes so much sense. I've been watching her videos for years now and I have to say that this is my favourite channel on Youtube :)

i had a very good composing teacher who said that making great sounding music wasnt as hard as one may think. creating great sounding passages as those illustrated here is not as challenging as finding the right place for them. so its not about how the music sounds but rather about the narrative, the form of the whole. what all great composers had in common was their ability to put the structure of the piece to the service of the music
