Tudo isso foi

magical experience for hundreds of reasons.

01:45
Now you may ask, why have I done these things?
16

2520
Vocês podem perguntar
por que fiz essas coisas.
por que fiz essas coisas.
01:48
They're not really typical for a musician's
17
96330
2362
Elas não são típicas
no dia a dia de um músico.
01:50
day-to-day life.
18
98692
2221
01:52
Well, I did it because I fell in love with the music
19
100913
3550
Eu fiz porque me apaixonei pela música
01:56
and I wanted to share it with as many people
20
104463
3082
e queria compartilhá-la com o máximo
01:59
as possible.
21
107545
2284
de pessoas possível.
02:01
It started a couple of years ago.
22
109829
2115
Começou alguns anos atrás.
02:03
I was sitting at home on the couch with the flu
23
111944
3431
Estava gripada no sofá de casa
02:07
and browsing the Internet a little,
24
115375
2122
e navegando pela Internet,
02:09
when I found out that Handel had written works
25
117497
2823
quando descobri que Handel
havia produzido músicas
havia produzido músicas
02:12
for the keyboard.
26
120320
2000
para teclado.
02:14
Well, I was surprised. I did not know this.
27
122320
2317
Fiquei surpresa. Eu não sabia disso.
02:16
So I downloaded the sheet music and started playing.
28
124637
4383
Baixei as partituras e comecei a tocar.
02:21
And what happened next was
29
129020
1900
O que aconteceu em seguida foi
02:22
that I entered this state of pure,
30
130920
3571
que entrei num estado de assombramento
02:26
unprejudiced amazement.
31
134491
2869
puro e imparcial.
02:29
It was an experience
32
137360
2340
Foi uma experiência
02:31
of being totally in awe of the music,
33
139700
3127
de total admiração da música,
02:34
and I had not felt that in a long time.
34
142827
3780
algo que eu não sentia havia muito tempo.
02:38
It might be easier to relate to this when you hear it.
35
146607
4153
Deve ser mais fácil
compreender quando ouvirem.
compreender quando ouvirem.
02:42
The first piece that I played through
36
150760
3291
A primeira parte que eu toquei
02:46
started like this.
37
154051
2789
começou assim
02:49
(Music)
38
157845
5947
(Música)
03:14
Well this sounds very melancholic, doesn't it?
39
182950
3730
Soa muito melancólico, não?
03:18
And I turned the page and what came next
40
186680
3034
Virei a página e o que veio a seguir
03:21
was this.
41
189714
1958
foi isto.
(Música)
03:23
(Music)
42
191672
3720
03:50
Well, this sounds very energetic, doesn't it?
43
218624
4066
Soa cheio de energia, não?
03:54
So within a couple of minutes,
44
222690
2700
Portanto, em alguns minutos,
03:57
and the piece isn't even finished yet,
45
225390
2160
e a peça nem foi finalizada ainda,
03:59
I experienced two very contrasting characters:
46
227550
4095
experimentei duas características
bem contraditórias:
bem contraditórias:
04:03
beautiful melancholy and sheer energy.
47
231645
3622
bela melancolia e pura energia.
04:07
And I consider these two elements to be
48
235267
2070
Considero esses dois elementos
04:09
vital human expressions.
49
237337
2803
vitais para a expressão humana.
04:12
And the purity of the music makes you hear it
50
240140
2675
A pureza da música nos permite ouvir isso
04:14
very effectively.
51
242815
3432
efetivamente.
04:19
I've given a lot of children's concerts
52
247893
2340
Dei concertos para muitas crianças,
04:22
for children of seven and eight years old,
53
250233
3138
crianças de sete e oito anos de idade,
04:25
and whatever I play, whether it's Bach, Beethoven,
54
253371
3814
e o que quer que eu toque,
seja Bach, Beethoven,
seja Bach, Beethoven,
04:29
even Stockhausen,
55
257185
1575
até Stockhausen,
04:30
or some jazzy music,
56
258760
2992
ou algum jazz,
04:33
they are open to hear it,
57
261752
2149
elas estão abertas para ouvir,
04:35
really willing to listen,
58
263901
1287
realmente dispostas a ouvir
04:37
and they are comfortable doing so.
59
265188
3528
e estão confortáveis fazendo isto.
04:40
And when classes come in
60
268716
1534
Quando entram turmas
04:42
with children who are just a few years older,
61
270250
3449
com crianças um pouco mais velhas,
04:45
11, 12, I felt that I sometimes already had trouble
62
273699
4848
11, 12 anos, sinto, às vezes,
como se já estivesse em apuros
como se já estivesse em apuros
04:50
in reaching them like that.
63
278547
2093
para atingi-los da mesma forma.
04:52
The complexity of the music does become an issue,
64
280640
3667
A complexidade da música
torna-se um problema,
torna-se um problema,
04:56
and actually the opinions of others —
65
284307
3833
bem como a opinião de outros,
05:00
parents, friends, media — they start to count.
66
288140
4683
pais, amigos, mídia, já começa a contar.
05:04
But the young ones, they don't question
67
292823
2508
Mas os mais jovens, não questionam
05:07
their own opinion.
68
295331
3341
suas próprias opiniões.
05:10
They are in this constant state of wonder,
69
298672
2992
Eles estão num constante
estado de admiração,
estado de admiração,
05:13
and I do firmly believe that we can keep listening
70
301664
3690
e realmente acredito que
podemos continuar escutando
podemos continuar escutando
05:17
like these seven-year-old children,
71
305354
2284
como estas crianças de sete anos de idade,
05:19
even when growing up.
72
307638
2474
mesmo quando crescemos.
05:22
And that is why I have played
73
310112
2149
Por isso que tenho tocado
05:24
not only in the concert hall
74
312261
2340
não só em sala de concertos,
05:26
but also on the street, online, in the air:
75
314601
4329
mas também nas ruas, online e no ar:
05:30
to feel that state of wonder,
76
318930
2567
para atingir este estado
de maravilhamento,
de maravilhamento,
05:33
to truly listen,
77
321497
2182
de realmente ouvir,
05:35
and to listen without prejudice.
78
323679
3544
e ouvir sem preconceito.
05:39
And I would like to invite you
79
327223
2126
Eu gostaria de convidá-los
05:41
to do so now.
80
329349
3033

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.
