- The Piano Sonata No. 2 in B♭ minor, Op. 35, is a piano sonata in four movements by Polish composer Frédéric Chopin. Chopin completed the work while living in George Sand's manor in Nohant a year before it was published in 1840. The third movement of the Piano Sonata No. 2 is Chopin's famous funeral march which was composed at least two years before the remainder of the work. The Piano Sonata No. 2 carries allusions and reminiscences of music by J. S. Bach and by Ludwig van Beethoven; Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 12 also has a funeral march as its third movement. The work was not furnished with a dedication.

dam, u have godly hearing
Naaaah thats some godly hearing
It's amazing that such a gorgeous melody can be realized with just one piano.... and this is the reason that I like Chopin
Such a shame that Zimerman was taken aback by negative press coverage that he abandoned his project on Szymanowski and Chopin Sonatas back in the 2010's. It would be a marvellous recording were it finished.
Where did you hear about the bad press?
What project? Can you say more about it?
@@kuba550 in 2010-2012 Zimerman was working on his series of recordings of works by Polish composers (Chopin, Szymanowski, and one undisclosed composer [Bacewicz, perhaps?]). But around that time, he was allegedly attacked by two Polish newspapers and such incident "poisoned the atmosphere" that Zimerman withdrew from the project.
@@FrostDirt thanks, didn't know that
Why did they attacked him?
Chopins music plumbs the depths of the soul. One of the great works played beautifully by Zimmerman. Thanks for making this available.
A great piece, very difficult but with a beautiful melody all thru it.. Zimmerman at his best....marvellous!!!.
Incredibly great sound quality. Thanks for sharing this great recording!
So happy now we have a scored version of this, it gets taken down all the time.
I love your videos! I hope you post more
Looking forward to it!😍
SPETTACOLARE !!! MERAVIGLIA DELLE MERAVIGLIE ....GRANDE ZIMERMAN
Bravo!!!
Chopin is The master of movement, 🔥🔥🌡️
Incredible !!!
Yes, incredibly brutal ! What's the point in breaking a keyboard to pieces ?
Incredible! Bravo! I hope we post more. Looking forward to it. 💚✨

The repeat of the exposition in the first movement begins from the Grave, not m. 5. The double dots at “Doppio movimento” (an instruction that Zimerman ignores) are spurious - they were added by the editor of the first German edition.
Because TH-cam doesn't have enough of Zimmerman playing Chopin 😂.
NEVER ENOUGH
Μaybe the best interpretation of this sonata ever! And live!
No, no, and no !!!!
The first time a recording makes sense
Your channel should be called ZimermanScores
上手ですね🐒🥺
Which came first? Chopin’s so-called Hades prelude (Op 28 No 16) or this sonata? Because the eight bars of both of the pieces’ main themes have an identical chord progression and identical rhythm in (respectively) the left and right hands. It’s why I feel that the Hades prelude would make a great alternative finale to the 2nd sonata.
There is also some similarity with his prelude op 28 no 14 and 4th part of this sonata.
@@danissimo9852 yes, the E flat minor prelude that only lasts some forty seconds right?
Zimmerman sound great as always but i dont know much about him as far listening to his works....this Sonata has been a benchmark for many Great pianists....Horowizt and Arthur Rubinstein version of this Sonata are Legendary
Very unpopular opinion but I think the first 2 movements of this sonata are a great example of how to write without inspiration. And it would make sense because this sonata was written around the funeral march (the march was composed about 2 years prior to the rest) i.e. on "order" with the rest.
Maybe the playing is what makes you think this.
Neuhaus said this piece was about a hero the birth of the hero is the first movement, the second his triumphs, the third the death, and the fourth is the wind blowing over his grave.
KZ plays this like a Czerny etude
@@pablobear4241 Lizst, in his book on Chopin, says his sonatas (and concerti) are more a work of effort than inspiration. Being Chopin, he naturally made these movements very well finished, but I'm saying that it's written like an artist drawing painting with technique rather than with creativity
mvt 1 w: revolt against the death , 2 the hope , 3 funeral march 4 out of our planet , somewhere in the universe . This first sonata in the world of piano was written ten years before the death of Frederick ( Baleares ) ; it's what j think when j listen this colossal sonata , the first sonata in the history of the piano , more important than Lizst Sonata by expression in front the death : Philosophy sonata j don't known an other sonata for make a comparison .
@@alainspiteri502 very nice, I like it
Personally, I always found the last movement brilliant but weak, in the sense that seems out of step with the rest of the movements. It’s not my favourite - that, for me, would be the third.
I’ll have to check out other recordings of this piece. Is the final movement usually played so fast? Without the notation, I would be completely disoriented in the blizzard of notes. Even WITH notation, I find it difficult to place myself within the beat, and get a coherent sense of harmonic rhythm.
I think with the 4th movement, it's not really about the beat or harmonic structure/rhythm, but instead a sound that describes the image of the piece. To me, it sounds like the howling winds of a graveyard ;)
It was written for unequal temperment as opposed to equal temperment used since the mid to late 19th century. There's an interesting comparison of the last 2 mvmts played both ways. Check it out. To me it was revelatory with the last mvmt finally making sense. Here's the you tube link: th-cam.com/video/hgA1-I5MfNY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hUw35a157DmhnUYk
5:43 Zimerman totally neglects the dynamics
The dynamics in some editions are different in this area. I suspect Zimerman used the Paderewski edition because it has a crescendo marking instead of piano and decresendo.

such a shame that most of the audience was just there to say "I was at that concert".......without appreciating the pure soud and technic and profound investment Zimerman put in his rendition...
Poor world we're living in that's for sure
How do you know that??
@@ilovecats581 unfortunately we live in a world of « showing » don’t need any proof
What?
I think you're complaining about the coughs and I understand that.
@@ilovecats581 because I happen to experience it unfortunately…..
FUNERAL MARCH at 15:00
It's great!! Fantastic!! Can you do Michelangi ?? it's even better 😅😆
Do you mean Michelangeli? He has multiple versions posted on youtube. The one he performed in London 59 has to be my favorite ;D Theres something about the performance that creates a story, almost spooky-like. To me, it really reminds me of death, the sadness, and a funeral!
For me 1) Rachmaninov ( 1930 original not piano-roll ) also Aschkenazy , true history of the man in front of the death .
Rachmaninoffs recording of chopin sonata 2 is amazing, the raging 3rd movement and the voicings of the 4th movement. Absolute gold recording of a great pianist!
Chopin should write this in A minor.
Five b is too much for reading
You could have it transposed by MuseScore
I prefer 5 Bs than 5 #s....😅
