I love this piece! The first time I heard it, not knowing what it was, I assumed it was Liszt, not Chopin. My favorite part is the theme that appears at 1:12 and 2:08. My teacher recently started a new Chopin competition in Nashville, Tennessee, and Kenner is one of the judges. One thing that he does that I haven't heard in any other recording is the right hand rhythm at 2:49 and 3:01: he plays two quarter notes instead of a dotted quarter note followed by an eighth note, which is unexpected because it doesn't match with the pattern established earlier in the piece. The edition you used in this video has the unusual rhythm the first time (2:49) and the expected rhythm the second time (3:01), but Kenner plays the unusual rhythm both times, which means he might be reading from the Paderewski edition, or maybe some other urtext edition.

この曲はショパンの青春時代を表しています。

This feels so unlike Chopin but also so Chopinesque at the some time… it’s so weird, but also fascinating?

Thanks for uploading these great performances, Felipe. For the write-up the claim "possibly as early as 1820" (when Chopin was 10) comes from a version of the Wikipedia article that didn't cite it, and must have been a wild guess. (Compare these three with the one Chopin wrote for Zywny when Chopin was 11.) The current version of the Wikipedia article cites the National edition and gives composition dates of 1825-27, 1829 and 1826-28 respectively.

So beautiful

.

This has some Mozart vibes

Amazing Performance! Beautifully played!

Thank you for showing a recording on a Pleyel piano (Chopin's preferred make).

Written by an 18 year-old boy... unbelievable!!

Can’t really hear the horn over the winds…

Legend Turkish pianist İdil Biret... Amazing performance...

Ótima contribuição, Felipe.

Brilliant

Started learning this a few weeks ago😅

There is nothing like piano music on a rainy day! Cozy living room, the sound of the rain outside, a cup of hot chocolate and playing the piano or listening

This piece was such a joy to learn and play, I love it so much😍

The finale sounds like the motif is taken from the muffin man

So clean

Sadly this wonderful piece isnt as famous and often played as the other Chopin Sonatas. Wonderfull played.

And so much harder than it may seem that the average ear!! This oboist is absolutely FANTASTIC

Bravo! Very sweet:)

I heard that No. 2 was also Chopin's favorite! I once played it, so I can tell why he and you love it

this play so bravoo i think this music arevery interesting bravo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

was at a Dang Thai Song concert and he played these for the encore... thought he said "etudes", but this was something I'd never heard-it's so fun!!! love them now

bonito

If this is Chopin's notion of bad music, what must he have thought of Charles Valentin Alkan!

I like how the second movement is written in a canonic manner. Schumann would have been impressed (he loved canons). Also, the second theme in the first section of the Minuet makes use of the rhythmic motif (the triplet) that ends the first theme. Beethoven liked to make good use of rhythmic motifs. The second and fourth movements sound like Germanic classical music, overall (Beethoven and Schubert maybe?)

Where do you find recordings on this kind of pleyel?

The sound of this piano is incredible.

*it's in C-sharp minor 😅

The 4th scherzo is my current favorite from all 4. But this recording... it has something from another world; either the lovely Pleyel, the slightly out of tune strings, the slow and reiterative tempos, I don't know man, but it has something different from all other versions played at 28372639478 bpm in modern grand pianos. I know very well that it does not follow the score markings very faithfully (plus it brings hidden voicings that I've never thought of), but for me it really suits the narrative of an ill Chopin in his lasts years, sad for everything that has happened to him, but somehow happy... Pherhaps because he knew he had composed some of the most influencial music ever composed in the piano? Man I don't know, everything in the recording works for me except the last 2 bars which I feel could've been a litttle longer, but yeah please give us more pianoforte recordings

Unpopular opinion: this scherzo has the best coda among all the 4. All the codas are great but this one is just something else!

deosebita piesa !

Great recording. Thank you for sharing!

Zimerman e Rubinstein podem ser melhores no geral, mas essa coda é algo inacreditável

If this was published after Chopin's death so why it isn't op. Post?

I don't think this would have been written for the NATURAL horn in the first place...

My favorite piece☺️

Good job 👏 (also happy pride month too!)

👏

daora 👏🗿

What's wrong with this piano..... never been tuned for ages??
