My lifelong love affair with classical music started with the Polonaise 40 when I was 7! I don’t remember the pianist, who recorded it, I just remember the electric shock, going through my body! Somebody opened the gate into another world, where majestic sounds dominate your senses, feelings and perceptions. Aah, thank you Frederic!
I love it. Playing with the idea of learning it. I want to finish the pieces I'm learning now at a slightly lower difficulty though. I was surprised to find out the difficulty level is not that astonishingly high according to the website I use for reference.
@@boqueefawigg354 Yeah most people hate it because of the 6 flats. It is a nightmare to sightread but it translates very well on the piano. Not so much on the violin/cello.
My very first intro to classical music was Chopin’s Polonaise #1 op 40. Thanks to my parents small collection on LPs. Before Beethoven, Mozart and even Tchaikovsky it was Chopin!
2:59 , 4:33 , 16:52 , 31:26 , 38:00 , 41:22 , 50:48 , 56:06 in my opinion the best and beautiful melodys/passages of the Chopin polonaises, oviously evry Chopin polonaise is beautiful (in my opinion).
Why is polonaise fantasie soooooo underrated it’s my favorite piano piece of all times, you just have to listen enough to understand it (which isn’t easy) and you’ll absolutely be in love
it wasnt very popular in Chopin's time or for some time after. it didnt really gain popularity among pianists until about the 1940s. Interestingly Chopin did not refer to this piece as a polonaise (he always referred to it as a Fantasy) until just before publication, and then only because the first part does have polonaise like rhythm and characteristcs.
Ashkenazy was absolutely brilliant! What an incredible virtuoso. His interpretation of the second Polonaise is the very best I've seen so far, and I've seen many. There's something magical about him, he actually feels the sorrow, despair, and expresses it in the wildest and loudest way possible. Exactly as Chopin intended, and exactly as many people try to imitate, but not as greatly as Ashkenazy does. 👏 from Brazil...
@@rattywoof5259 Correct, i agree. However, Jorge Bolet and Bella Davidovich's rendition of the Ballades are equally phenomenal , IMO ~ ha,....In fact, I've had V.Ashkenazy's interpretation of the Polonaises were among the 1st CD's i purchased some 40 odd yrs back, along w/ Adam Harasiewicz ~
Best performance of 26/2 I've heard. The outer sections have all the menace and despair required, and the middle section has a great contrast. So sharply articulated and snappy. Terrific performance by Ashkenazy.
The polonaise 26 number 2 is not only a master piece in musical terms but also in a poetical way. The opening bars sound like a volcano which is just about to awake. .. Volcano lava which starts the journey from the bottom to the top. I hope the great Vesuvius near Neaple will continue to be asleep. 😇😇😇
I was desesperately searching the name of the incredible Op. 40, No. 2 (I've heard it but I didn't know the name) thank you so much !!! And all thoses soungs of this genius compositor are incredible !!
Op.40 No.2 hit different this time... it's like a fantasy-polonaise... and I wonder what Chopin was saying with that determined, sorrowful and angry main theme. I always hear something new in Chopin
Polonaise No. 2 was given the nickname "Siberian Revolt". Not sure if factually accurate and named by who or when. But as a child listening to this piece for the first time, I could feel the deep despair and thundering defiance within the piece, especially when Chopin uses the C flat and D natural interval motif to close out any hopeful/optimistic themes that have been brought out to contrast and bring us back to the powerful initial idea a la @13:54. The nickname has stuck with me anyways since, almost a perfect counter piece to the optimistic "Heroic" No. 6
Just reading the score makes my fingers ache & teeth hurt...but excellent posting by 144adex because we can HEAR the music unlike so many other posts where the volume is so low...thank you. No one plays Chopin like Ashkenazy, both technically perfect and passionate.
It's because it has been very commercially overused and overplayed. Many listeners have simply grown tired of it. Also, there's much interest in beginner pianists and much of the time they ruin the piece.
This work hs everything in it -- heroism,a mazurka style and barcarolle motion in the middle section and a stirring coda arresting introduction,and dramatic transition from the dreamy, middle section of gaity tl the return of the main theme and last section Only an inspired genius could conceive of this work,the polonaise in F sharp minor number 5,of Chopin
...such a beautiful music makes me deep reflection...particularly when we are witnessing how crazy "leaders "pushing our planet to totall disaster... Thank you for great performance ❤
:) this makes me smile about languages. In Dutch, "as-dur" would mean something like "ash-expensive" which is funny. Also es-moll could be a joke towards a Belgian person living underground. On topic. I've been wanting to play no.53 since I heard it at 18. Ten years on and I'm finally learning it :D
I couldn't agree more. Mahler's Piano Quartet is my favorite piece of classical music. I think its the throbbing cords in the right hand in both pieces that make them so haunting.
@@nghiavan8952 I think it is the other way around: Scriabin emulated Chopin, therefore writing a piece that reminded general aspects of his Polonaises.
I just love the last three polonaises, it makes me dive into the scenes of war, victory and hope. I get emotional whenever I’m listening the slow parts, the middle part of 44 is like when all the good memories came during the cruelty of war, but the whole 61 escalate the feelings from sadness everything to a beautiful hope of the future.
It's great to be able to follow the sheet music while listening to this fabulous music. A comment regarding Ashkenazy's playing: I can't hear the difference between "ff" and "fff"! I am sure that he is not the only one not to take Chopin's markings too literally - especially on a modern grand piano. Do we really need to hear these pieces slammed out at triple forte volume? I think the answer here is that pianos in Chopin's time were meeker and produced less volume, and Chopin was dissatisfied with the amount of sound produced (or maybe a bit deaf?).
Chopin was dissatisfied because his physical strength didn’t allow him to go past mezzo forte. Also, if one slammed it at fff then the piano would break.
@@bc_7644 He was incredibly weak and struggled to play in concert halls because of it which is part of the reason that he restricted himself to peforming in salons. This got even worse when he got tuberculosis which he ended up dying from a few years after getting. From this, I would say that he was most definitely, very weak
Oui, une autre epoque un autre temps toute cette musique habitee par l amour la difficultee d etre mais l art la musique transcende cela cette nostalgie d un amour perdu a tout jamais merde il n y a pas d amour heureux et quand c est Chopin qui l exprime avec ses hauts et ses bas prppre a l ame slave.Bonne journee.
i like the way he plays the polonaise-fantaisie. special as usual when ash plays. the most i like is he is playing it not as fast as many other pros who are just producing a mess of tones in the end...when played a lil bit slower every tone can be brought to accurate clearity and the full brilliance of that peace appears...
Thanks very much for uploading. Just one little thing: it would be nice if the tracks had some time to breathe, esp. that hard opening of Op. 40 no. 1 is quite jarring after Op. 26 no. 2.
The Paco Rabanne advert that kicked in three bars into the A major polonaise rather spoilt my bedtime listening unfortunately! If there need to be adverts then in between the pieces would be preferable.
With Chopin, I have a hard time understanding his logic in calling this or that piece one type or another. Like, what makes all the Polonaises "Polonaises"? Most of the nocturnes have a certain "night time" mood to them. I think maybe the 1st and 4th ballads have a certain dramatic narrative feel to them maybe? The 2nd and 3rd are a bit lighter in character. The form of the 2nd is very different. The Waltzes of course are actually waltzes, so that makes sense. The Mazurkas could just be called waltzes in a lot of cases methinks. The scherzos don't seem to have a unifying element either. 🤷♂️
Polonaise rhythm at its most basic is in 3/4 time, and is counted like "1 - and a 2 - and - 3 - and - 1" etc. A Mazurka is "1 - a 2 - 3." But Chopin puts a lot of other stuff in to make them much more than that. You'd actually be forgiven for mistaking Polonaise 26-1 in C sharp minor for a mazurka just by listening to the intro. There is a waltz in E flat major that also has a mazurka feel in a few places. That being Waltz 17 in E flat major.

The rythm of the left hand (bam-badabam-bam) and certain chord progresiones, as well as massive chords
Search Wikipedia for polonaise
You should research the terms scherzo and polonaise
Agree with the point about scherzos
Polonaise rhythm at its most basic is in 3/4 time, and is counted like "1 - and a 2 - and - 3 - and - 1" etc. A Mazurka is "1 - a 2 - 3." But Chopin puts a lot of other stuff in to make them much more than that. You'd actually be forgiven for mistaking Polonaise 26-1 in C sharp minor for a mazurka just by listening to the intro.
