The Da Vinci Sound | Sławomir Zubrzycki | TEDxEmbassySchoolKrakow


it’s called modern technology great
education everything possible but there
are still white spots that not
everything everything is described and
I’m going to tell the story my own story
to show that there are some very
interesting area where we can find and
discover things and these are area law
in the past ten years ago I was informed
about a nice tuna which was built in
Poland the 19th century I said okay what
what is this is a kind of grand gala can
see Christianity as a baby drama
so what was strange but that grand piano
could sound like streaks that a string
instrument like since were little you
know I’m a pianist so we always are
practicing our the pieces of the camera
and searching how to make the sound of
the piano
which disappear very quickly after
strike how to make make it more seen
more like a folk guitar music playing
polka music on piano this very difficult
and we spend a lot of hours to to do
such an effect I said if I give the
sun-god love strings which are very long
I can press the key and then I can get
beautiful long long long time and
something so Spanish research was the
inventor of the melody : 19th century
[Music]
we know that America was a great planet
he painted beautiful portraits or you
get one in Krakow very proud that he was
painting the Last Supper meal on a
fresco he was an engineer we described
many equipment or engineering work he
was a researcher scientist was
researching many fields of science like
mathematics biology physical so it was a
very great man and I think that he tried
to understand his world the world which
surrounds him so there is good to full
of certain genes and maybe not men of
you know there are him as a musician he
played your attraction is a straightener
he found one day enough okay so I said
music what kind of music I’m talking of
if he didn’t write down with music just
call it here notes were written by a
Hispanic but anyway he was observing
that time and development of music what
happened polka music at that time people
tried to put on instruments to play the
instrument so he said music music was in
the time of remember that morning is
that you have many choices son today and
he tried maybe to play one voice as
possible second as more difficult but
when you want to play four or five
forces we need four or five pieces he
said ok probably as possible to mix in
between keyboards instrument and sleeps
this man and put it together to make a
Eastman which might be perfect you know
because you can get a sound very long
time order but instrument three could be
not very big and you
for me and you can modify some to start
more quiet and so another subjects he
wanted to get any perfectly student and
okay so I was trying to look me to come
play some instrument because if not the
da Vinci invented something we know
playing we know how faster we don’t
register of his energy but there’s our
surprise Joseph I was also looking into
eternal maybe some researchers were
interested that one who states from
Japan even and I got a nice paper of
that guy from London hero of death
[Music]
suddenly 200 people we know how many
millions of instrument was built this is
the time so 200 it said it’s nothing but
2,000 this very big number to forget at
all
is it possible that nobody will always
[Laughter]
[Laughter]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Laughter]
[Music]
[Laughter]
you can see the novice drawings are
these plans are these so-called blue
twins no these are just stitches just he
tried to do to shut the idea these are
not exactly plans for building
instruments so I said oh it’s quite
difficult but you know we polish me like
very difficult challenge so we sometimes
follow such difficult difficult paths so
I started to search get where I try to
see any historical incident as I went to
preserve to be able to see them to play
on the instrument of seventeen sixteenth
century so together with the taste of
the instrument then I have started to
think how to make it and what kind of
music would be playing on this
separately music for keyboards and music
for stringed instrument so what could be
the music if that instrument was
successful in the past we don’t know but
maybe there are some pieces I found one
piece one is originally written for
seven is really 18th century some of you
know Sebastian Bach country another bar
so I
it’s not that okay so what to do I had
to organize my workshop in my basement
about my house I found three nice rooms
they were required nobody could enter
that area and I started to work every
day for hours in order to make it and
when I was almost close to the finish I
said okay like that is true I know that
something really really very well in the
world
but how can I share what can I do I’m
just a longing my buddy more showed me
in the basement of my house and not fast
because Europeans I made it so I just
fell and there was a first
I met a diabetic of the festival to play
his best of all clever okay then the Jew
nice day
I also privately about my project and he
was looking very because only then next
day they wanted to see can came to my
house and I played for him a little he
said oh Jesus I have to I have to small
the smaller the great house okay
so and so then I that I was approaching
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
okay so that that was a turning point in
my private that private project I got a
very wide information because last month
presently his neighbor’s most they’ve
got that concept so hey I got many mails
letters from different people from all
over the world and what is the result
after that moment which was five years
ago I play I play make 33 year-old
Francis and I can show my instrument to
people people always come to me after
the concert we want to know they want to
listen to how can I play the instrument
so I think that I was lucky
[Music]
who’s been responsible for a recent
surge of interest in this long-forgotten
try to understand and think about that
and people may be good also to into the
past to find good inspiration from
people who also were young who also were
full of passion and they were also very
talented and they were of genes many
times so this is good to think and
understand first what is this about and
what you want to tell making your own
culture not only technology of power
time but that there was a technology of
time no matter that means late medical
and
yeah and then one more thing I’d like to
ask because that was taught here today
was the age yeah mostly young people but
when I was playing my first recital that
was the day in my 15th birthday so it’s
always remember this is never too late for your passion for your
