Paderewski's performance of his Minuet in G has two elements that nearly all others lack. Those elements are charm and subtlety.Paderewski,the composer, plays this composition as he conceived it. In other words, as a delightful,charming minuet.This is not a piece that is well served by the "anything you can play, I can play faster," type of pianist.

Ignacy Jan Paderewski (November 6, 1860 - June 29, 1941) was a Polish pianist, composer, diplomat, politician, and the third Prime Minister of Poland. From his early childhood, Paderewski was interested in music. Initially he took piano lessons with a private tutor. At the age of 12, in 1872, he went to Warsaw and was admitted to the Warsaw Conservatorium. It was in Vienna that he made his musical debut in 1887. He soon gained great popularity and his subsequent appearances (in Paris in 1889, and in London in 1890) were major successes. His brilliant playing created a furore which reached to almost extravagant lengths of admiration; and his triumphs were repeated in the United States in 1891. His name at once became synonymous with the highest level of piano virtuosity. This little set of variations may not be the highest art but it touches me very much. Earl Wild recorded this in 1991.

By the late 19th and early 20th century, the excruciating technical challenges of the Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2 led to its acceptance as the "unofficial standard" by which every notable pianist would "prove his salt", usually as a smashing finale. It had become an expected staple of virtually every performance of the greatest pianists of the time... Lassan (Hungarian for slowly) is the slow section of the csárdás, a Hungarian folk dance, or of most of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies, which take their form from this dance. It generally either has a dark, somber tone ("mesto") or a formal, stately one. (0:01) Ignace Jan Paderewski (1860-1941), piano. Recorded on June 26, 1922. New York: RCA Victor. No.74805/74806 (5:03) Ignace Jan Paderewski, piano. From "Moonlight Sonata", USA 1936. In 1936, Paderewski consented to appear in a film, presenting his art on the screen. This proposal had come at a time when Paderewski did not wish to appear in public. However, the film project did proceed and the selected film script was rather an opportunity to feature Paderewski. Horowitz called Paderewski 'noble', and you can see why when you hear his playing here...

Paderewski composed the Piano Concerto in A minor Op.17 in 1888 after he gave his first recital in Paris during March of that year. (This was really his debut as a pianist). He finished scoring it in 1889. Paderewski composed the work in the two small rooms that he had rented in Vienna when he began his studies with Leschetizky in 1884. Having played Saint Saens' C minor concerto in Paris shortly after his debut there, he found the French composer to be "perfectly enthusiastic" about his performance of that composition. That encouraged Paderewski to take the score of his recently completed concerto to Saint Saens in order to seek his opinion of the work. Paderewski was met at the door by a very busy Saint-Saens who siad that he had no time to look at the score or listen to Paderewski play it. However, he relented saying,"Well,you are here,so I suppose I must recieve you." In his memoirs Paderewski says,"He took the score and read it as i played it.He listened very attentively. At the Andante (Romanza)he stopped me saying,'What a delightful Andante! Will you please repeat that?'Finally he said,' There is nothing to be changed. You may play it when ever you like.It will please the people.It is quite ready.You needn't be afraid of it, I assure you.'" Paderewski dedicated the concerto to "My master, Leschetizky." The conductor,Hans Richter who was "among the most eminent and finest interpreters of Wagner,and not only Wagner,but all of classical music," had heard Paderewski <b>...</b>
Ignace Jan Paderewski (1860-1941) - Although discouraged by his teachers from becoming a pianist, he launched his artistic career in 1885 and literally swept the world with his playing and his dynamic personality. - In 1932 American president Roosevelt called him a Modern Immortal and two years later in a book written by author Charles Phillips, The Story of a Modern Immortal, the introduction began as follows, "It is difficult to write of Paderewski without emotion. Statesman, orator, pianist and composer, he is a superlative man, and his genius transcends that of anyone I have ever known. Those of us who love Poland are glad that she can claim him as a son, but let her always remember that Ignace Jan Paderewski belongs to all mankind." - He travelled all over the world from Africa to Australia and across the European continent; crossing the Atlantic more than thirty times. He gave more than 1500 concerts in the US, appearing in every state and drawing the largest crowds in history at a time when the solo recital was still in its infancy. - He travelled throughout the US in his own private railroad cars with several pianos, not only for practical purposes, but also because he enjoyed living in a grand style. Whole towns would go out to meet him and escort him to the concert hall or would just come to see his train pass by. Trainloads of people would come in from outlying towns to hear him play. Once when a train from Montana was delayed by a snowstorm he waited for the <b>...</b>

Filmed by Dr. Karol Liszniewski of Cincinnati, as were all the 1920s-1940s videos on this channel. I include these because my father, pianist DavidEdward Smith, studied piano from the age of 12 (1936) until age 20 (1944) with Dr. Karol Liszniewski of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. My father wrote: "All the Polish celebrities knew Dr. Liszniewski (who speaks Polish besides the Poles?). Arthur Rubinstein and Mieczyslaw often stopped by when they were on tour. So did Rachmaninoff and Paderewski. I would be allowed to sit right next to them--only inches from the keyboard--to watch them practice by the hour--preparing for their solo recitals and concerto performances. They would give me lessons and sometimes, when I was practicing in my room upstairs, they would open the door at the bottom of the stairs and yell such things as 'Practice SLOWLY' or, for example, 'Who told you to do that crescendo in the left hand' (I had done something terrible, no doubt). 'That's good-don't ever change that!' (What a pleasant surprise). Sometimes they would come to my room to watch me practice--stopping me to show better fingering, a more beautiful interpretation, or how to solve some difficult problem 'at hand'. To an artist there is nothing quite so satisfying as the solving of an 'aesthetic problem'."

Ignace Jan Paderewski performs Chopin's Valse Brilliante Opus 34 No. 1, recorded September 1922 on Duo Art piano roll, and played on a newly restored 1920 George Steck 6'1" Duo Art grand. Paderewski was one of the most famous performers who recorded for Aeolian in this period. Some people dismiss pneumatic players and these roll recordings today as musically inaccurate or unimportant, perhaps because the player mechanism is complex and few of the surviving instruments are in good repair or regulation. But in their heyday after 1915 or so, they were generally considered to be the best way to record piano performances, up until the 1950's when the LP came along.

Together with the radio interview of Ignaz Friedman, speaking on Paderewski, in 1940. ~~~ Paderewski, after some years of halt, had to resume his piano career in 1923 for financial reasons, even though he had earned more money than any artist ever did; as throughout the years he made substantial financial contributions for various causes: - As early as 1895 he founded the Paderewski Fund in New York to establish triennial prizes to American composers, regardless of race or religion. Some of those winners were David Diamond, Gardner Reed and Wallingford Rieger. He established a similar fund for Composition in Leipzig in 1898. - In London he gave to the Transvaal War Fund for the wounded, widows and orphans. - To express gratitude to Herbert Hoover and other Americans for helping with the Polish Relief Fund, he turned over the proceeds of a concert series to purchase food for unemployed Americans in the 1920s. - In 1932 he faced an audience of 16000 in Madison Square Garden, the largest crowd in the history of music at that time, making $50000 for the benefit of unemployed American musicians. He even paid for his own tickets to the event. - He provided financial help for unemployed musicians in England, funds for playwrights, for Polish composers in Poland, for the construction of a concert hall in Switzerland, for rebuilding a Cathedral in Lausanne, for unemployed workers, for wartime orphans in Italy, for the building of dormitories for music students in France, for the <b>...</b>

Ignace Jan Paderewski performs Franz Liszt's Rhapsodie Hongroise #2 recorded October 1923 on Duo Art piano roll # 6670-0, when Paderewski was 62 years old. This roll is played on a restored 1926/1933 5'4" Chickering Duo Art grand, built initially as an Ampico A in 1926 and factory-fitted with a late-style drawer-mount Duo-Art in 1933. There is an early film recording of Paderewski playing this piece when he was older, but it is interesting to me to see his distinctive style (especially the rubato) in this piece recorded when his skills were still very sharp. Some YouTube comments have been unhappy with this piano's tone in earlier postings. But I think the instrument sounds very nice in person—so hopefully this microphone / recording system does it a little more justice.

Although he was a late beginner at the piano, his abilities and technique skyrocketed in the 1880s, especially under the tutelage of Theodor Leschetizky. Not yet thirty-years-old, he achieved a level of celebrity comparable to Liszt and created an international sensation with his concert performances. In 1919 he became prime minister of Poland, but resigned later that year and returned to the concert stage. While he was heir to the spectacular and bravura pianism of Liszt and Rubinstein, he was also a composer. To many piano students over the past hundred years, he is known only for one salon piece, the Minuet in G. Consequently, his best works, including a symphony, piano concerto, and a handful of weighty solo piano music remain forgotten.
