Daria van den Bercken: Why I take the piano on the road … and in the air

Prevodilac: Petar Atanasovski Lektor: Mile Živković

Recently, I flew over a crowd

Skoro sam letela preko mase

of thousands of people in Brazil

hiljada ljudi u Brazilu

playing music by George Frideric Handel.

koji sviraju muziku Georga Fridriha Hendla.

I also drove along the streets of Amsterdam,

Takođe sam se vozila ulicama Amsterdama,

again playing music by this same composer.

opet uz muziku istog kompozitora.

Let's take a look.

Hajde da pogledamo.

(Video) Daria van den Bercken: I live there on the third floor.

Daria van den Berken: Živim tu na 3. spratu.

(In Dutch) I live there on the corner.

(Na holandskom) Živim tu na ćošku.

I actually live there, around the corner.

Zapravo živim tamo, iza ćoška

and you'd be really welcome.

i stvarno ste dobrodošli.

Čovek: (na holandskom) Da li to zvuči zabavno? Dete: (na holandskom) Da!

Man: (In Dutch) Does that sound like fun? Child: (In Dutch) Yes!

Daria van den Bercken: All this was a real

Daria van den Berken: Sve je ovo stvarno

magical experience for hundreds of reasons.

magično iskustvo zbog stotinu razloga.

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

Sada se možda pitate, zašto sam uradila sve te stvari?

They're not really typical for a musician's

Nisu baš tipične za svakodnevni

day-to-day life.

život muzičara.

Well, I did it because I fell in love with the music

Pa, uradila sam to jer sam se zaljubila u muziku

and I wanted to share it with as many people

i želela sam da podelim to

as possible.

sa što je više moguće ljudi.

It started a couple of years ago.

Sve je počelo pre nekoliko godina.

I was sitting at home on the couch with the flu

Sedela sam kod kuće na kauču sa gripom

and browsing the Internet a little,

i pretraživala sam internet,

when I found out that Handel had written works

kada sam otkrila da je Hendl pisao

for the keyboard.

dela za klavijature.

Well, I was surprised. I did not know this.

Pa, bila sam iznenađena, nisam to znala.

So I downloaded the sheet music and started playing.

Skinula sam stranicu muzičkih nota i počela da sviram.

And what happened next was

Nakon toga sam ušla

that I entered this state of pure,

u stanje čiste,

unprejudiced amazement.

nepristrasne zadivljenosti.

It was an experience

To je bilo iskustvo

of being totally in awe of the music,

totalnog strahopoštovanja prema muzici

and I had not felt that in a long time.

i nisam to osetila dugo vremena.

It might be easier to relate to this when you hear it.

Možda je lakše da vam to dočaram kada čujete.

The first piece that I played through

Prvo delo koje sam svirala

started like this.

počinje ovako.

(Music)

(Muzika)

Well this sounds very melancholic, doesn't it?

Pa zvuči vrlo melaholično, zar ne?

And I turned the page and what came next

Okrenula sam stranicu

was this.

i ovo je bilo sledeće.

(Music)

(Muzika)

Well, this sounds very energetic, doesn't it?

Pa, to zvuči vrlo energično, zar ne?

So within a couple of minutes,

Kroz par minuta,

and the piece isn't even finished yet,

i delo još uvek nije bilo gotovo,

I experienced two very contrasting characters:

osetila sam dve vrlo kontradiktorne osobine:

beautiful melancholy and sheer energy.

predivnu melanhonliju i čistu energiju.

And I consider these two elements to be

I smatram ova dva elementa

vital human expressions.

vitalnim ljudskim izražavanjem.

And the purity of the music makes you hear it

I čistoća muzike čini da je čujete

very effectively.

vrlo efektivno.

I've given a lot of children's concerts

Držala sam mnogo dečjih koncerata

for children of seven and eight years old,

za decu od sedam i osam godina,

and whatever I play, whether it's Bach, Beethoven,

i šta god da sam svirala, bilo da je Bah, Betoven,

even Stockhausen,

čak i Štokhauzena

or some jazzy music,

ili neku džez muziku,

they are open to hear it,

otvoreni su da je čuju,

really willing to listen,

zaista žele da slušaju,

and they are comfortable doing so.

i osećaju se lagodno tada.

And when classes come in

I kada dođu razredi

with children who are just a few years older,

sa decom koja imaju samo nekoliko godina više,

11, 12, I felt that I sometimes already had trouble

11, 12, već sam osetila da ponekad imam problem

in reaching them like that.

da doprem do njih.

The complexity of the music does become an issue,

Kompleksnost muzike postaje izazov,

and actually the opinions of others —

i zapravo mišljenje drugih -

parents, friends, media — they start to count.

roditelja, prijatelja, medija - počinje da se računa.

But the young ones, they don't question

Ali mladi, oni ne preispituju

their own opinion.

sopstvena mišljenja.

They are in this constant state of wonder,

Oni su u stalnom stanju čuda,

and I do firmly believe that we can keep listening

i zaista verujem da možemo da nastavimo da slušamo

like these seven-year-old children,

kao ovo sedmogodišnje dete,

even when growing up.

čak i kada porastemo.

And that is why I have played

I iz tog razloga nisam svirala

not only in the concert hall

samo u koncertnim halama

but also on the street, online, in the air:

već i na ulici, onlajn, u vazduhu:

to feel that state of wonder,

da osetim to stanje čuda,

to truly listen,

da zaista slušam

and to listen without prejudice.

i da slušam bez predrasuda.

And I would like to invite you

I želela bih da vas pozovem

to do so now.

da učinite isto sada.
