Thank you for the encouragement!!! And I’m glad you’re making music, too! It makes the world better. It’s so fun to see people getting excited by this Chopin piece.
Kudos man this is far outside the scope of most would be pianists. There were mistakes and areas that need polishing yes but well done learning a considerable milestone in the classical repertoire.
@@diezauberwelt You should keep practicing the coda at a slow tempo and slowly increase as you practice, aside from that, your scales were really impressive!
@@oldschoolscoresI’ll take a listen to Hambourg. I recently watched/listened to Gary Graffman play it, and he played several parts slower than many people.
Man I love Chopin so much, I really want to be able to play Piano this beautifully one day, I know it wasn't perfect but it was still good, how long have you been playing Piano,
Thank you so much for listening! I've been playing for a loooooong time -- over 40 years yikes! But most of my playing has been classical music with other people -- accompanying for choirs, playing with singers and instrumentalists, etc. And now I'm more focused on improvisation and composition. It's a fun journey! What do you like to play?
@@diezauberwelt I've only been playing for maybe 5 years I wasn't serious about it so I'd call my self a beginner to intermediate, so far I've only done hymns, game soundtracks and a couple of old German songs, I really want to play anything Chopin but it's just too hard, Chopin really is my inspiration and the only reason I can play Piano at all today, I've been thinking about getting Piano lessons for classical Piano, anyways, this year in October I've planned a trip to Warsaw Poland to go see the best of the best play at the International Chopin Piano Competition, oh I can't wait!
Great playing, I love this a lot!!!❤ I loved how dramatic, pulses, and the counts you play! P.S. I love your mistakes, why didn’t Chopin compose it like how you played?
Hey great job on the piece! I recommend listening to Annique Göttler’s interpretation of this piece. Her articulation and emotion is so well captured in her playing. Here’s the link to her video and channel if you want to check it out! th-cam.com/video/QIGTGvR9J_E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wDmNSe2gsrwuxOQQ
You are often playing the wrong technique and pedaling is not really clear the sound is good tho you understood the message of the pièce there is a lot of potential keep practicing (i can elaborate on Instagram if you want)
@@blackpinkinyourareaaa7846 The best advice is to get a high level teacher to start this piece or learn because she or he is gonna to make you learn with all the details this is a difficult work and the beauty of this piece is in the structure and overall harmony and details if i was by myself i would have lost sooo many details. For example 2:45 to 2:48 the silences in the left hand are not played like written and you cannot really rubato on this part as consequences he is not using the right technique and pedaling "moody' (in my opinion) and way too flat on the technique (look at zimmerman for comparasion how he plays the left hand, here he pretty much played like horrowitz in technique but without his piano so this sounds way too flat), for me the pedaling like written in the scores are bad (personnal opinon here interpretation), i think if you pedal like in the score you don't respect the silence on the 2nd and 4th beat on the bar 45 for example because the pedal covers up it gets not 'crystal clear' and if you want to use pedal here i think you have to play the g octave and press the pedal wich is really hard and relase for the silence and the C so 2nd and 3rd beat and press 4th beat and relase 5th and 6th beat in bar 45, this is pedal point (my opinion). This is just 3 seconds but the whole piece is like that, this is why great pianist are great pianist so get yourself a high level teacher and grind on the goal and you will get there (and don't listen to pepole who never played chopin ballades and claim they are easy and they learned it in one month or 2 weeks professional pianist take at least 3 month to play at high level with at least 10 years of piano behind them and high level concert professionals one month of work). Sorry for all the long text x)
Great performance! As someone at the beginning-Intermediate level I aspire to play as smoothly and well as you one day.
Thank you for the encouragement!!! And I’m glad you’re making music, too! It makes the world better. It’s so fun to see people getting excited by this Chopin piece.
huge respect bro ! i admire your work !
Thank you so much! I’ve put this piece on hold for now, but hopefully everything will be even better next time I work it back up.
This piece is a masterpiece and you did a great job, congrats 👏👏
Wow, I appreciate that!
Nice work brother. Beautifully played
Thanks so much!
Kudos man this is far outside the scope of most would be pianists. There were mistakes and areas that need polishing yes but well done learning a considerable milestone in the classical repertoire.
Wow! I really appreciate this! I’m at a point now where I feel like I need to just leave this piece alone and revisit it in 5 years. We’ll see.
Good, but I do think the intro was too fast and the coda is great but definitely needs some more speed and refining touches.
Eeeeek more speed? I’ll try! 🤪 Seriously, thank you for listening to me. There’s a lot of ballade recordings out there.
@@diezauberwelt You should keep practicing the coda at a slow tempo and slowly increase as you practice, aside from that, your scales were really impressive!
I think tempo is a subjective thing, listen to how mark hambourg plays this ballade
@@lightx222Practicing slowly with the metronome and gradually increasing speed is my main way of practice - I just need to do it more often! 😂
@@oldschoolscoresI’ll take a listen to Hambourg. I recently watched/listened to Gary Graffman play it, and he played several parts slower than many people.
Deserve million
Aw thank you!
Love it bro
Thanks, friend!

Awesome work man
Thanks for listening!
little tip for u my friend at 2:37 u dont need to jump from D to G with 5 (u made a mistake on G cuz of this), u can just use finger 1 - 3 - 5 !
Omg this is awesome! Thank you!
I find it harder to use the three, tbh. At that point, you’re demanded to rotate pretty heavily to reach that G.
Good job
Thank you!
Great playing, I love this a lot!!!❤ I loved how dramatic, pulses, and the counts you play! P.S. I love your mistakes, why didn’t Chopin compose it like how you played?
Thank you! That’s so sweet!
still some mistake but really good, could play the coda faster a bit
@@thanhchi6268 Thank you for listening! I keep practicing and will post a new and improved video one day!

@antiiczzz5671 hi, i was wandering would you be willing to help me out with the piano? i've always wanted to play songs like this
