Impressive! I think no body here knew about this piece. I like living in this era so much I can enjoy and find new music even from old well-known composers!
Oh wow I haven't heard this in several decades and at 1st I didn't recognise it until it got into the main section. I remember listening to the Rubinstein recording when I was much younger. I love this piece.
Chopin fez uma oferta da Beleza à Condessa! Não juntou as mãos para ofertá-la, más espalmou-as para a agilidade dos seus dedos darem o recado da sua Alma! Belíssimo Bolero!
Reminds me a little bit of the Grande Polonaise Brillante for some reason. I guess mainly the middle section that uses the same left hand rhythm as in the Polonaise. A lot of the same effects are used too.
In fact the ending looks a lot like the ending of the Grand polonaise brillante Op. 22, I don't know how to say it in english, the last times or the last beats...
Great performance of a wonderful piece I’ve never heard before. Nine bar phrases and unresolved seventh chords in the section at measure 34. Check it out!
Beautiful piece and great performance! Thanks a lot for uploading. I thought I knew the Chopin catalogue pretty well, but I had no prior knowledge of this piece. No clear Spanish harmonies that I can hear, I guess the title primarily refers to the rhythm that Chopin chose for this piece. Pretty similar in style to some of the Polonaises, as someone else wrote. A pretty early work apparently. Man what a genius he was. Liszt might be one of the most influential and important musical figures of the romantic era, but, in my opinion, as a composer, he never came close to Chopin.
Liszt farly outranks Chopin in orchestral compositions; Chopin was, with all due respect, terrible at writing for orchestra. However, I can agree, his melodies are much more beutiful than Liszt's
@@guilhermemarello5698 you are quite right, of course. To begin with, Chopin hardly wrote anything for orchestra. I love his two piano concertos, but I know that experts agree that they are not very skillfully orchestrated, that the piano part is too dominant.
@@deej20007 I won't argue with you, I am sure you're right. I'll have another try with it soon. Btw, I am a great admirer of Spanish music in general (though no expert). My favourite composer is Maurice Ravel and I also love Manuel de Falla.
Chopin be like: “Am I gonna go romantic?”...”No, let’s go chromatic...and fucking fast”...”I got that, I’m gonna push that beat and then I’m gonna relax and meditate and then I’m gonna push again, fuckers.”
@@sfsphil I was, but don't worry about it. I was just implying that this Bolero is way better. I hate how repetitive Ravel's is. So annoying to play or listen to.
@@pattmahiney I'm a lover of both composers, but Ravel's Bolero is by far the more original and striking composition. There's a reason why the Ravel is one of the most famous pieces of orchestral music ( aside from its use by Torvil and Dean) and why this Chopin piece is hardly known at all, even by Chopin lovers- as many of the comments here attest. It's very interesting to hear it but it's clear why pianists never programme it.
@@paulybarr if everyone remembers your motif over the other guy's, then you basically win, right? I just hate the repetition but he did his job well. It'll be played for the rest of time.
Ravel came to hate his Bolero too. Something he saw as a fairly mundane orchestration exercise became his most famous piece. Often happens to artists (Beethoven was annoyed by the popularity of the Moonlight Sonata). But I think it's quite remarkable how well the Bolero works as a piece, despite its monotony and length. It's a beautiful melody and Ravel was a brilliant orchestrator, making the whole build-up very satisfying.
@@exequielchuaqui5968 A piece is not a masterpiece just because it's written by a renowned composer. This Bolero really does not compare to other works by Chopin with much more compositional qualities like his ballades, sonatas or scherzi. There's no wrong is saying this.
@@ldece627 Yeah but it's still a great and beautiful piece. That's the problem with renowned composers, that if a piece they wrote is not as good as the others some people then say it's bad, which is stupid because we can't expect the composers to create the same things all the time. In this case, it's a complex piece hard to understand but it doesn't mean it's bad. I really enjoyed this piece, and as I say again, we can't expect that the composers will maintain a level of writing.
1:44 A WILD POKEMON APPEARED!
Love how almost all comments just came from few days ago.

Thanks, I don’t know this piece, even though it am a die hard Chopin fan
Same
I thought it was Rabel’s Bolero until i saw the Chopin in front

Could you imagine what Chopin dished out freestyle when he would be in one of his ‘moods’
That introduction is scary, to hear and to play!

Thanks to the composer and the performer too :D
@@grubyjanusz4517 well noticed
A bit of a mazurka and much of a polonaise...well played!! Thank you.
Bolero is actually one kind of a Spanish dance
yeah but this is a polonaise mostly, not a bolero
@@trioll99 He obviously never heard a proper Bolero, so he composed a Bolero on his Polish way...
no this piece is not a technical exercise only, it is absolutely wonderful and one of the best experiences to listen to

1:55 -onward is very reminiscent of Mereaux’s Bolero Op. 72, especially the small grace notes at 2:23

A Spanish Polonaise or a Polish Bolero? Can’t decide.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Chopin is trying to be Mr Worldwide
Never really heard of any Spanish Bolero influence there, but I really love that Chopin uses Polonaise beat in his usual style
@@aramkhachaturian8043 No need to try.

Liszt was a pupular performer, star of his day. However, Chopin is on another level musically, way beyond Liszt's music.

I hear a lot of spanish in this. I think maybe the interpreter glosses it over with a tad bit too much pedal. It is a bolero.

Wunder is so underrated
This piece always felt as a compositional exercise - not to say that is a bad thing.
Like most of W A "You Got Talent" Mozart.

Also check out check out “Spanish” flamenco- like passage 125- 127.
Very underplayed piece.

worst part of the song
Un bolero molto chopiniano, comunque una grande pagina musicale
もはやタランテラ
1:53
Polonaise-like bolero :)
Bolonaise
Flipping pages? The first two lines?
The yt alg strikes again
The beginning has all the notes Ravel decided not to use in his bolero.
It would be correct to say that Ravel did not include all the notes that Chopin did haha.

5:13 sounds familiar, mmm...
Where is it from?
A minor mazurka?
@@RacoonEvil that part sounds like something from Heroic polonaise, the descending passage before the main theme repeats at the end
oh interesting, i thought i was the first
Why so much pedal????
Because it's romantic music. It can take it.
Why isn't this the Bolero we all know /:
Because this is a bolero by Chopin, not Ravel? Sorry if I misunderstood your response and you were actually being ironic.
