    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!

    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. 😇😇😇

    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...

      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.

    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

    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?).

    • @pianosbloxworld4460
      @pianosbloxworld4460 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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.
