Did you hear how Chopin started? with a prélude of sorts, meaning he took his time writing what was next, could have been a Ballade, Scherzo or anything else, but Chopin decided to call it Bolero, a masterpiece ♥️❤️💗♥️❤️💗💗💗
@@mvmarchiori I think it's a bit ambiguous, shifting between C and G major but never quite settling into either, and with C-minor colouring intruding from time to time, making the first few bars sound like C minor, if anything.
@@michaeledwards1172 for me it's clear, using lots and lots of F sharp, and pedal point in G, and even uses the Ab chord, which is the Neapolitan of G major. I think he does similar to the 4th ballade, where the intro is in C major(dominant) and serves the purpose to prepare the ear to the main theme, in F minor.
We do not have enough keys on the keyboard to get to the deeper disharmonic tensions of the Bolero. We need more keys...) Nevertheless, Chopin's Bolero is a masterpiece of virtuosity and also rhythmically challenging since there is more to it than written notes. I would struggle with this piece for a long time to play it as one musical unit. Thank you for sharing...
I don’t think I’ve ever encountered this piece by Chopin before. A very intriguing combination of Spanish and Polish styles. It’s curious that some scholars speculated that Chopin’s polonaise rhythm is actually a “Spanish” musical influence (which, from historical view, would link him more directly to Debussy). I suppose the confusion comes from the fact that the polonaise was a dance that gained popularity with Polish nobility during enlightenment. So likely this allusion between Spanish/Latin rhythms and the Polish aristocratic dance is resulting from the western Baroque classical music influence.
Una obra fabulosa, como todas las grandes obras del maestro polaco. No la había escuchado antes y eso que soy del oficio. La exigencia en la técnica y musicalidad es enorme, un reto para cualquier pianista.
nobody expects the spanish composition!

Underrated piece, the polonaise rhythms are interesting

Haha finally the Spanish polonaise!
Wunder plays it wunderful.
Ps. I'm sorry about the pun
I think the fist part of the introduction is in G major, until the "Piu lento". What do you think?
I loved that pun
For me that sound C major

Ich höre gern oft Chopin.

Warum weiß ich nicht bis jetzt?!?!!
Wie schön...

one of his unique and underrated masterpiece!!

Chopin to najpiękniejsza spuścizna dla ludzkości. Dziękuję.
1:40 How come this part seems like the inspiration for the flight of the bumblebee ;)
The same thinking here 😝😝
1:50 seems very similar to ballade no.3
sounds more like Grande polonaise brillante op.22
It becomes a 3rd rate polonaise as measures go by.
One of my all time Chopin favorites!
Really interesting piece
Esta Obra es simplemente magnífica ! 🎶🎹🎶👌👏👏

The polonaise section is so good
Thought I was listening to Liszt for a second
Wunderful
I never did figure out what *Led means in the sustain pedal. Does anyone know? Thanks🙂
It's not Led it is Ped
@@FelipeFerreira7 oh my gosh, you're kidding😳
@@FelipeFerreira7 lol, I thought that was an L for 20 years 🤣
기가막히다.. ㄷㄷ
Maravilhoso 😭😭😭 lindo lindo demais ❤️💗💗💗💗❤️❤️❤️💗💗
That theme is just brilliant.
Is it just me, or is this piece "campy?' Chopin wearing a Sombrero.
Chopin is trying to learn Spanish???
Really beautiful touch...
Wunderschön!!!💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶!!!!! 💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶
👍👍👍
1:09 he plays different notes in the LH???
G# I think?
It's D# instead of E , but then he corrects it to E on the final quaver
Sehr gut 👍prima
Wow!
