I dette foredrag spiller hun os igennem den emotionelle rutsjetur af hans musik — mens hun sejler med hendes klaver igennem luften, kører det ned ad gaden og selvfølgelig på scenen.

Now you may ask, why have I done these things?
16

2520
Nu spørger I sikkert,
hvorfor jeg gjorde disse ting?

01:48
They're not really typical for a musician's

2362
Det er ikke typisk for en musikers
01:50
day-to-day life.
18

hverdagsliv.
01:52
Well, I did it because I fell in love with the music
19
100913
3550
Jeg gjorde det, fordi jeg blev forelsket
i musikken
i musikken
01:56
and I wanted to share it with as many people
20
104463
3082
og ønskede at dele det med så
mange mennesker
mange mennesker
01:59
as possible.
21
107545
2284
som muligt.
02:01
It started a couple of years ago.
22
109829
2115
Det startede for et par år siden.
02:03
I was sitting at home on the couch with the flu
23
111944
3431
Jeg sad derhjemme på sofaen og var syg,
02:07
and browsing the Internet a little,
24
115375
2122
og søgte en smule på internettet
02:09
when I found out that Handel had written works
25
117497
2823
da jeg fandt ud af,
at Handel havde skrevet værker
at Handel havde skrevet værker
02:12
for the keyboard.
26
120320
2000
til klaveret.
02:14
Well, I was surprised. I did not know this.
27
122320
2317
Jeg var overrasket.
Det vidste jeg nemlig ikke.
Det vidste jeg nemlig ikke.
02:16
So I downloaded the sheet music and started playing.
28
124637
4383
Så jeg downloadede noderne
og begyndte at spille.
og begyndte at spille.
02:21
And what happened next was
29
129020
1900
Og det næste som skete var,
02:22
that I entered this state of pure,
30
130920
3571
at jeg kom ind i denne tilstand af ren
02:26
unprejudiced amazement.
31
134491
2869
fordomsfri forbløffelse.
02:29
It was an experience
32
137360
2340
Det var en oplevelse
02:31
of being totally in awe of the music,
33
139700
3127
af at være i fuldstændig ærefrygt
til musikken
til musikken
02:34
and I had not felt that in a long time.
34
142827
3780
og sådan havde jeg ikke følt
i meget lang tid.
i meget lang tid.
02:38
It might be easier to relate to this when you hear it.
35
146607
4153
Det er måske lettere at relatere til,
når I hører det.
når I hører det.
02:42
The first piece that I played through
36
150760
3291
Det første stykke jeg spillede igennem
02:46
started like this.
37
154051
2789
startede sådan her.
02:49
(Music)
38
157845
5947
(Musik)
03:14
Well this sounds very melancholic, doesn't it?
39
182950
3730
Det lyder meget melankolsk,
gør det ikke?
gør det ikke?
03:18
And I turned the page and what came next
40
186680
3034
Jeg bladrede en side
og det næste som kom
og det næste som kom
03:21
was this.
41
189714
1958
var dette.
03:23
(Music)
42
191672
3720
(Musik)
03:50
Well, this sounds very energetic, doesn't it?
43
218624
4066
Det lyder meget energisk,
gør det ikke?
gør det ikke?
03:54
So within a couple of minutes,
44
222690
2700
Så indenfor et par minutter,
03:57
and the piece isn't even finished yet,
45
225390
2160
og stykket er ikke færdigt endnu,
03:59
I experienced two very contrasting characters:
46
227550
4095
oplevede jeg to meget kontrastiske ting:
04:03
beautiful melancholy and sheer energy.
47
231645
3622
smuk melankoli og ren og skær energi.
04:07
And I consider these two elements to be
48
235267
2070
Jeg betragter disse to elementer
til at være
til at være
04:09
vital human expressions.
49
237337
2803
livsvigtige menneskelige udtryk.
04:12
And the purity of the music makes you hear it
50
240140
2675
Og renheden i musikken får en til,
at høre det
at høre det
04:14
very effectively.
51
242815
3432
meget effektivt.
04:19
I've given a lot of children's concerts
52
247893
2340
Jeg har holdt mange koncerter for børn,
04:22
for children of seven and eight years old,
53
250233
3138
børn på syv og otte år gammel,
04:25
and whatever I play, whether it's Bach, Beethoven,
54
253371
3814
og uanset hvad jeg spiller,
om det er Bach, Beethoven,
om det er Bach, Beethoven,
04:29
even Stockhausen,
55
257185
1575
selv Stockkhausen,
04:30
or some jazzy music,
56
258760
2992
eller noget jazzmusik,
04:33
they are open to hear it,
57
261752
2149
så er de åbne for at høre det,
04:35
really willing to listen,
58
263901
1287
villige til at lytte
04:37
and they are comfortable doing so.
59
265188
3528
og de er komfartable med det.
04:40
And when classes come in
60
268716
1534
Og når der kommer klasser ind
04:42
with children who are just a few years older,
61
270250
3449
med børn som er et par år ældre,
04:45
11, 12, I felt that I sometimes already had trouble
62
273699
4848
11, 12, følte jeg, at jeg havde besvær
04:50
in reaching them like that.
63
278547
2093
med at nå ind til dem.
04:52
The complexity of the music does become an issue,
64
280640
3667
Kompleksiteten af musikken,
bliver et problem,
bliver et problem,
04:56
and actually the opinions of others —
65
284307
3833
og andres meninger -
05:00
parents, friends, media — they start to count.
66
288140
4683
forældre, venner, media -
begynder at spille en rolle.
begynder at spille en rolle.
05:04
But the young ones, they don't question
67
292823
2508
Men de helt unge
stiller ikke spørgsmålstegn
stiller ikke spørgsmålstegn
05:07
their own opinion.
68
295331
3341
ved deres egen mening.
05:10
They are in this constant state of wonder,
69
298672
2992
De er i en konstant tilstand af undren,
05:13
and I do firmly believe that we can keep listening
70
301664
3690
og jeg tror fast på,
at vi fortsat kan lytte
at vi fortsat kan lytte
05:17
like these seven-year-old children,
71
305354
2284
som de syv-årige børn,
05:19
even when growing up.
72
307638
2474
selv når vi bliver ældre.
05:22
And that is why I have played
73
310112
2149
Og det er derfor,
at jeg har spillet
at jeg har spillet
05:24
not only in the concert hall
74
312261
2340
ikke bare i koncertsalen,
05:26
but also on the street, online, in the air:
75
314601
4329
men også på gader, online, i luften:
05:30
to feel that state of wonder,
76
318930
2567
for at føle den tilstand af undren,
05:33
to truly listen,
77
321497
2182
for virkelig at lytte
05:35
and to listen without prejudice.
78
323679
3544
og lytte uden nogle fordomme.
05:39
And I would like to invite you
79
327223
2126
Og jeg vil gerne indbyde jer
05:41
to do so now.
80
329349
3033
til at gøre det nu.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Daria van den Bercken - PianistDaria van den Bercken has played piano with major Dutch orchestras, and performed many a recital in her country’s famed concert halls. But her larger vision is to bring classical music to the masses.
Why you should listen
Pianist Daria van den Bercken makes classical music lovers — and those who had no idea that they appreciated this kind of music — listen to classic composers with fresh ears. She has played with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, the Arnhem Philharmonic Orchestra and the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, and is a regular guest at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. But it’s bringing classic music to unexpected audiences where her passion engages.
While sick with the flu several years ago, Daria discovered the keyboard compositions of George Frideric Handel. She wanted to bring these beautiful works to the masses. With her project ‘Handel at the Piano,’ she played these pieces in unexpected places — even flying with her piano 25-feet over the audience at the Virada Cultural Festival in São Paulo, Brazil. Through a series of concerts, and an album, she asked audiences to rethink Handel.
Daria’s latest project is 'Keys to Mozart,' an effort to breathe new life into Mozart’s piano works. She is preparing to record an album for Sony Classical and will play a series of concerts too.
