1:35 I find this guys singing really beautiful! Especially with the reverb of the room. I’m into ambient music, and I’d love to hear that kind of singing on a track.
Truly very well put together. I am a Chopin fanatic and I am very picky about recordings and what people say about him. This is all accurate and clearly a lot of effort has been put into choosing which pieces to play where and I very much so respect the result of those choices. The right recordings of the right pieces were played at the right times.
other than the guy at 37:00 who almost seems to imply that Chopin had never been to Poland. He spent half his life there. He wasn't just making up this stuff out of what he saw in Paris. He lived it.
I enjoyed this documentary. A number of Chopin documentaries have been produced in the past. This one added new insights on the composers psychological make up ... almost a reinterpretation of the meaning of the composer's music, without invalidating any analysis of the past. I suppose this helps perpetuate classical music in this age of social media and technological advancement. Thank you for this release and looking forward to other releases (with or without the differences and contradictions). 😊✌🏽️
@@Jonolva_PS They did kill Mozart. They poisoned him - possibly his "best friends". And then they left him to suffer until he died. The doctor was called at the theatre but wanted to stay until the show was over. According to Dr. Gunther Duda, Mozart was taken to Schikaneder´s theatre and submerged in lime until his body dissolved. That is why there is no grave. The evil forces that should not be use his skull and bones to this day in wicked rituals. That is the truth. I have heard some Chopin - he copied Mozart, just like his sodomite forerunner, Beethoven.
@@DanielFahimi Mozart was surrounded by riches and opulence, his nobel friends used him, poisoned him slowly and dunked him in lime to get at his bones. Once dead, Mozart's wife became famous and rich. Possibly she was involved in the murder as well. God knows and time and the Great White Throne Judgement will tell all.
Chopin's influences are way more than just Bach, also Moscheles and especially Johann Nepomuk Hummel and his Czech teacher might be a little underrated. The miracle about Chopin imo is the fact that Chopin exercised way less than a Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt etc most of them were exercise-workaholics, whereas letters of or for Chopin show that he did not exersise or work that much and Liszt was envious here and then. Liszt even excersised on journeys on a silent keyboard. Great documentary!
Chopin even actively discouraged his pupils to play more than 3 hours per day and take breaks in between to read a good book or walk in the park, enjoy life. He was an extraordinary teacher. Having said that, he was, unlike many other musicians, uniquely gifted in dexterity (he learned most of his technical abilities on his own with just some basic support by his music teacher and still was a ready concert pianist at the age of 12). He was also very agile as a child and teen, went ice skating and horse riding, even hunting, was very lissome, hyper flexible, a natural in acting and a great dancer. All signs of exceptional talent for body coordination, which enabled him to become virtuous at the piano with such little daily practice time. Mozart and Beethoven were drilled by their fathers to play (Liszt drilled himself), as was Clara Schumann and countless others. Chopin had the rare, almost one-off fortune to have had incredibly kind and caring parents who supported, yet never exploited him, he was never forced to practice. With lesser a gift than he had he wouldn't have come far as a pianist with such little practice time. He was truly special among the greats.
He performed some Chopin pieces while doing concerts in Poland. No idea why he said he knows into one Chopin melody, while the truth is he knows a lot of his music. He’s a brilliant musician.
Thank you Euro-Arts for this very well made documentary. However, the captions were not so good, in fact they are shockingly sloppy. Please tell the person who writes the captions to be more careful. I finally just gave up trying to keep up.
+EuroArtsChannel I guess you mean, 'redone' ? Is there a way not to make them GRAY against black? I can't read them on any monitor. It produces ncredible eyestrain, and the words are important. Could they be normal white against black? Thanks for any help.
+anieb Yes, redone. However, we cannot influence the way the captions are displayed. I guess that TH-cam is making changes to the player which might be causing this.
Thanks for that explanation, EuroArts. When we upload videoclips and use annotations (which are TH-cam's and different from your captions that you do in the video itself), they allow us to change background and foreground colors and font size. It's a loss in this case, since I can't read the captions to understand what is being said. But it's still an intriguing documentary. Thanks again.
A genius on the same level as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach. A revolutionary without ever trying who who combined respect for tradition with harmonic and structural explorations,.innovations that influenced Liszt, Wagner, Debussy, Scriabin and attained a profundity and sophistication in his late works equalling that of the classical.masters. An individual who went his own way standing apart from all the empty noise and chatter of much of the romantic movement. As Debussy put it he was the greatest of them all.because through the piano he accomplished everything.
Thank you for his great documentary. There is only one thing that annoys me. Barenboim may be knowledgeable and may have interesting things to say about music, but the way he plays Chopin (e.g. the Minute Waltz) in this film is just appalling -- how can this music be played so mechanically, devoid of any charme and beauty? How immensely more poetic, free, singing, inspiring, is the playing of Cortot and Michelangeli!
Think) how beutifull the prélude is Thank)Chopin gave me a 1000 fingers to play Thonk)He has 99 hands and a 100000 hands Thunk)Chopins music is not only for piano also in orchestra Thenk)Thank God Jesus that this human was born to be a humanpiano
Thanks EuroArtsChannel for this lovely documentary on Chopin. I have one request tho' - Would u be kind enough to indicate what is the title of the music played at the very end? a soft music, like a nocturne ? thanks
Enjoyed this documentary except for the beginning with Bobby McFerrin - I have nothing against Mr. McFerrin at all but there really was no point in including McFerrin in a documentary about Chopin.
Bit disconcerting to 'see' Chopin speaking in Italian when he only spoke Polish and French!! Would have been a better effect to have it in French or Polish and have sub titles for that bit!!
Those times, tuberculosis has no cure, Beethoven,s brother had it, probably he also. Chopin died of Tuberculosis. No antibiotics. People died younger then now. Some were lucky to live long.
Jorge Francisco el de publismart. Entonces ustedes venden las famosas pistas para cantar gente común. Pero no será que la Cámara de senadores y diputados se les ocurra poner un impuesto por hacer eso. Es que eso es un lujo, no entra dentro de los insumos de primera necesidad o básicos. Luego la competencia, cobro de piso y seguridad, está difícil. Lo bueno que se van a Monterrey.
Absolutely the best European musician in the entire human history ever..
What about Bach? I love Chopin entirely, but Bach created everything in western music.
The best polish
Thank you
To be fair 99% of the most prominent composers were Europeans lol
He's up there at the very top. Arguably it is Bach who is the greatest.
I wish Chopin was still here so he can compose more good music
1:35 I find this guys singing really beautiful! Especially with the reverb of the room. I’m into ambient music, and I’d love to hear that kind of singing on a track.
What is that piece called?
Yeah I know this piece well what is the name?
It’s Prelude Op.28 No. 7 Andantino

If u are his fanatic u know his nationality?
@@vikordszarcus227.. Sure - he was born in Poland and lived half his life there. Second half was spent in France. I think he belongs to both places.
@@John-thinks correct
My favorite composer ever! Love from Brazil

Just wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing this for free!
I love this very much, but geez that computer graphic talking chopin photo thing is creepy
+Hosu Ryu I found the "talking Chopin" enchanting-wish more classic photos were used that way.

LOL
I agree, it's like the FB posts when people do that and its for animals making them talk lol
To some extent yes. To a fan, they needed it
What an education this documentary is! Thank you!!

Thank you EuroArts for sharing this! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Chopin Is Such A Humble Boy But Very Sad He Died At The Age Of 39 years old😭 But Mozart Died At 35 years old even SAD😭😭😭
At sad moment, after mozart became homeless, they killed him, instead they put him in cemetry they thrown him without the coffin.
I think Chopin's death was sadder, he made relaxing music for the soul
@@Jonolva_PS Mozart never became homeless and he didn't got murdered lmao.

Wow, McFerrin knows ONE (1) Chopin melody. What an inspiring musician!
I wonder under what rock he was hiding all this time^^
He performed some Chopin pieces while doing concerts in Poland. No idea why he said he knows into one Chopin melody, while the truth is he knows a lot of his music. He’s a brilliant musician.
Fantastic, thank you!
Chopin to najpiękniejsza spuścizna dla ludzkości ❤️
very interesting and informative documentary! thanks a lot
If you thought Chopin talking was eerie wait until you meet George Sand
Well done! what an amazing documentary, I must admit though, I am more partial to Franz Liszt but this was lovely. Thankyou for sharing :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Watching this rn, update later
Edit: WHY AM I CRYING
Concerto 1 written by a 17 year old...... I´m i awe!

Thanks EuroArtsChannel for this lovely documentary on Chopin. I have one request tho' - Would u be kind enough to indicate what is the title of the music played at the very end? a soft music, like a nocturne ? thanks
The last piece (beginning at 53.33) is the Sonata Op. 35 III. Marche Funebre, performed by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli on piano :)
Ótimo 😊
Enjoyed this documentary except for the beginning with Bobby McFerrin - I have nothing against Mr. McFerrin at all but there really was no point in including McFerrin in a documentary about Chopin.
+thestratford51 it was weird wasnt it? i woulnt have minded if he had more segments but just one part? so odd imo..
It shows the influence Chopin has had across time and cultures.
I agree with you John K. You just never know where all these work from Chopin touched.
thestratford51 , agree, that was really annoying. Plus his simpleton comments were not exactly interesting either.....
Yes. I will agree with that. He doesn't even recall a single composition...
👍🎶👏👏👏
What theme can be heard at 54:20? Is it from Chopin? Its really really really beautiful
It's the trio section from the famous funeral march from the second sonata
Cómo hubiera querido un doblaje o subtitulado al español...
Halo, may I know what is the name of the piece that sounds in the minute 1:40, that mentioned by Bobby Mcferrin.
Chopin's Prelude Op.28 No.7 in A major.
Tom C Thank you very much!
36:30 is Mazurka op 68 2 and not Mazurka op 68 3.

Bit disconcerting to 'see' Chopin speaking in Italian when he only spoke Polish and French!! Would have been a better effect to have it in French or Polish and have sub titles for that bit!!
why do all the amazing pianists die so young ??
Liszt died 75
Those times, tuberculosis has no cure, Beethoven,s brother had it, probably he also. Chopin died of Tuberculosis. No antibiotics. People died younger then now. Some were lucky to live long.
Please, what's the name of the very first composition that sounds at the start of the video?
C minor Nocturne
Thank you.
What does the speaker says at 0:49? Something like "drawing?? composer" I can't make this out.
Christoph Petz chopin ballde no 1
Christoph Petz or sorry my bad type
".. Chopin is a drawing-room composer" meaning not for the serious concert hall :/
36:30 its mazurka no 2 not 3
What is the name of the piece that sounds in the minute 2:58?
Sebastian Espejo chopin ballde no 4

Chopin not only stole ideas from Bellini because his Nocturnes are inspired by the music of John Field.
Chopin copied Mozart as well.
Chopin was a fan of Bellini.
