I was introduced to this music from watching Szpilman's performance of it in the 2002 film, "The Pianist". (Performed by Polish classical pianist Janusz Olejniczak)
More recently, this piece was played by Kousei the final episode of the anime series "Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso" (Your Lie in April).

I can almost hear what Chopin must have thought at the end:
"Ok let's finish this... wait no! one more time... ok one last time!... ok now that's enough... JUST KIDDING!"
Lol, so true!! :'D
Kai Anna Yin he didn't want it to end
he didn't want her to go~
King X KoK that's some deep comment
King X KoK Kaori... ;-;
+Kai Anna Yin Yeah, it looks like chopin didn't want to end it, but at the end of all he finished with a musical resource very used called perfect cadence, where it uses 5th grade before finishing with 1st grade. Sorry if i turned pedantic.
Classical music is truly the greatest genre of music in my opinion. All the anger, passion, emptiness and pain that Chopin managed to convey in this one piece of music, it's unbelievable! A true masterpiece from a musical genius. I wish more people of our generation would appreciate classical music.
I totally agree with you but instead of that people prefer to listen to a huge amount of crap!!!!!!
+Raphaella Ghiotelli A lady shouldn't speak like that ;)
+MasterProX Yes I think you're right!In a society tha everything is moving endlessly there is no time for really good music! 😔
+MasterProX brilliantly put
I agree with you, but I wouldn't personally call classical music a genre, but rather a category of genres.
Anyone here because this piece is great?
Me
yeah
Oh yeah
Yea
Me, but I actually watched the anime after seeing a lot of these comments
My favorite part 0:00-9:25
Berutes hey mine too !!
¿coincidencia? No lo creo
Mine is 4:10 - 4:55
OMG ME TOO 😱
Mine too !
that ENDING fucks with me every time
Chopin be like: "But wait, there's more!"
+Dashie Dash absolutely xD
*Kaori appears before me*
Yato
Who the hell is Kaori?
This is classical music. Chopin
You clearly haven't seen "Your lie in April" :d
This ballade is honestly the greatest piece of piano music I've ever heard. No pianist as great as Chopin has existed.
Arsh Parmar Ever heard of Beethoven?
Ben Hanson Beethoven is overrated. Yes, he is an amazing composer, but too overrated. In my opinion, Chopin has more beautiful pieces. But I won’t judge your opinion. You can think what you want.
@@benhanson3904 Chopin was Better in a lot of ways, anyways Beethoven was really good
Hmmm lizst
@@benhanson3904 Beethoven is great. But Chopin is a better pianist. I didn't say who is the better musician. While Beethoven was probably the better musician, Chopin was the better and more experienced pianist. I love em both but this piece is special
I use this video to teach my elementary students about Chopin. They are fascinated by the animation and are drawn into the music. It's a successful marriage of the visual and aural in a graphic way. Well done...and thanks!
+pianoREADER i gues u cant say im a 'child' anymore but im 16 and love classic music probably because of my aunt because she learned me to play the piano a bit and i just love the sound of it
Jay Singer In all honesty, I would much prefer to learn from Synthesia. Makes things easier for me and I'm 20. XD
Cloud Strife sheet music is much easier once you get good at it
This comment section is literally
60%-'Your lie in April fanatics'
30%-'people complaining about the Your lie in April fanatics'
10%-'Actual appreciation for this unrivalled masterpiece'
Exactly -_-
i mean, i came from your lie in april, but not because it was in your lie in april. there were like 30 other songs in tht show i dont listen to
Im in 10% :D
DecentDonncha I’m part of the lowly 10% xD
I'm in 10% but since I couldn't find this song, I had to rely on the anime. Don't judge. I'm a casual.
2:06 sounds so beautiful
It's Chopin :v
Stupid Tutorials. Ya , it is. It reminds me of all the suffering in life.
Ok that sounds kinda deep
Sounds like a waltz
It takes a strong emotional to pour it in part 😔
Pure emotions
a poor guy on my high school played this on a piano there, i don't know how but he played much better than other piano masters that i know. just bringing on that old memories feel great, because he got a piano conservatory scholarship.
Min 04:40 my favorite
This is defiantly Chopin’s best ballad
Chapín
Eddie Hutchence
1 Has best melodies
2 Best coda
3 I haven’t listened to as much
4 Most emotion
No comparison, for me it's his best work overall
UI Shaggy The best theme is in the 4th, the best coda would be the second ( only when zimmerman plays it tho ) But this ballade overall has more good different sections where the others have some boring parts
It's John th-cam.com/video/oDe8NQtSAl8/w-d-xo.html I like this better
Wish I had the ability to play this.
Same omg
Well, I wish I had the instruments to play this. I only have a keyboard😞
Karl Ledesma I feel ya
+Karl Ledesma Ive found a piano that is 27cm large, dunno if that helps you :s Costs around 700, named LP-180 KORG, its clearly not high quality piano but you can still learn the piano with it :D
Thank you for the information!
When you find a genuine masterpiece and realize your whole music list is just trash...
Ahmed Çağrı Sayın yup, make another LISZT then heheheh
same thing happen to me. :')
Ahmed Çağrı Sayın my six hundred songs just got thrown away into an ocean lol time to fill my phone up with some real deals like this

My favourite parts: 2:00-2:51 and 7:39-8:20.
Bloud Cast I like the coda too. Unfortunately, some pianists ignore the fact that it is Presto con Fuoco, and hold back.
Totally right =)
My favorite part 0:00-9:25
Bloud Cast exactlyyyyyyyyy👍👍👍👍
2:07 - 2:34 is pure genius
I just love how not even Chopin wanted the piece to end. I thought the piece ended three different times but NOPE! We get to enjoy just a bit more of it! Oh what would people do if Ballade No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 23 wasn't composed? I would go crazy considering the fact that I need my daily dose of this piece! If only Chopin was here to see all of the appreciation he gets, not to mention the love played towards his pieces. I believe one day, we could see Chopin, playing that Golden Grand Piano in heaven. May his soul rest in piece...
This is perhaps my favourite piece by Chopin! I actually used an image of the manuscript as the backdrop to my own "Hommage à Chopin" which I uploaded recently.
I just checked it out. It really does sound like Chopin!
Thank you!
LukeMusic it was beautiful!
hommage a montre pan?
Nice! My favorite Chopin piece for now would have to be Etude Opus 25, No. 11 "Wrong Notes". It sounds bad on purpose at the beginning but once you keep listening to it, its just beautiful.
So uhhh...I can't even read music, but I can play piano fairly well by ear but this...ummm, i'll just go see myself the door because this level of music is absolutely insane in my mind.
And this, folks, is why you learn to read music, and do it daily and work on sightreading, so that it doesn't take a literal month to read through a piece before you can even start practicing it for real.
Being a poor reader really slows down my potential when I try to learn just-out-of-my-reach pieces, and I'm combating that by going back to the fundamentals. Starting with sightreading Twinkle Twinkle Little Star level stuff..
Quick tip, learn to read music because down the road, things will get *hard*
Not a single comment on Fallout 4. I guess no one tune into the Classical Radio Channel during their gameplay. Btw Beautiful song.
I blew up the institute so.. no
💜💜
''PIECE''', not ''song''
@@yourstrulydiablo Thank you.
They play this piece in fallout 4? damn, now I regret deleting the game a week ago only to make space
Does the movie "The Pianist" come in mind?
+Radioguy nope, but shigatsu does
Both actually...
nope psyduckwaterflower
Wilm Hosenfeld "What work did you do before all this?"
That damn question brought soooo many feels back then CX
People that have watched the video:
75%: Came from an anime
20%: Came because they actually like Chopin
5%: Came because they like to listen to hard pieces and don't know why
All 3 for me
I'm glad I'm in the 20%
I came here because of the movie "The Pianist" its so heart touching you need to eatch that
I’m here because of all three. This piece is one of my goals, and YLIA is the anime that made me fall in love with it. Right now I’m learning the right hand for Winter Wind.
I’m not here from Your Lie In April, but I watched the show and I love it
SPOILER ALERT:
7:30
The best spoiler.
Mhm yes d e f i n i t l e y a spoiler.
Ah yes, spoiler
She didn't survive.
Dont spoil it I haven't heard it yet
Thought I had a chance at learning this, but after the 2nd minute, I realized I do not compare to how freaking insane and how genius Chopin really is. 😭
if you really put the dedication, time and effort into it, you'll be playing it from start to end without thinking about it, don't give up that easily.
Have you learned it? 4 years have passed by
I know taste in music is subjective and all, but i'm convinced this is by far the best piece of music ever created
Objectively and Subjectively :P
24 months every day for an hour, scanning the sheets of music i have finally managed to play the song but very very very slow, i have played piano since the age of 3 but dropped it at 12 due to my parents over pressuring me
but the piano found me again, and what a way to scream emotion through a piece as such, Ballade has no competition in the world of music, i challenge anyone to my opinion.
I love how shigatsu wa kimi no uso introduced me to classic music. Thanks.
ikr I listen to classical on the radio now...
+Recee23 Gaming - CSGO & more me too man!

And more thanks to the composer, Chopin.

I was already listening to classical music before I watched it but it opened me up to more Chopin which I'm extremely thankful for
NOT TRYING TO BRAG BUT AT LEAST I CAN PLAY 8:21 - 8:23 🤷🏻♀️

This song is the main reason for which I'd love to know how to play piano
0:15 oh so easy
the part after 1:00 until end: really Chopin??!!!
Not to brag or anything but, it's quite easy if you'll try
@@hairglowingkyle4572 his 4 ballades are considered to be some of the most challenging pieces in the piano repertoire.
@@wisnog99 I know but, practice makes perfect
@@hairglowingkyle4572 yes but sayings "it's quite easy if you try" is still wrong, not everyone is a prodigy. People have spent decades perfecting pieces, especially Chopin's ballades. I'd love to see a video of you performing this piece if you think it's "quite easy".
the only really hard parts are 4:30 and 7:34. everything else isnt that bad it just seems a lot harder than it is.
I can't stop listening to this song it's definitely my favourite piece of classical music. The range of emotions that are conveyed through this one peace is amazing and it takes me on a journey. My goal right now is to one day be able to play this the whole way through.
Same here, man.
I totally feel the same, good luck to you on your journey.
It is astonishing how music can Express feelings such as Anger, Fear and happiness through an instrument such as the piano and change a person's life. Thank you Chopin for your masterpiece that is still loved by millionshundreds of years later.
This, winter wind, and loves sorrow all got me into classical music and into playing piano when i practice enough, I will attempt and one day finish those songs
Chopin is one of the best composers.I hear it a few times, but I don't get tired of it.
This song can summarize life, the first part is childhood, getting bullied thats why it's negative then, you marry and have kids and your life is positive and happy, then your spouse leaves you and takes the kids, then you struggle with life, hence the part with all of the chords, the final part when it teases you, is when you are struggling to stay alive and how you can't hold on any longer. The end is when your life is over.
what kind of life is that? Most elders i know have had a pretty good life

I've been amazed by Chopin for nearly three years and it's taken me that long to finally listen to his ballads and I can't believe I didn't do so any sooner this is so wonderful
7:32 - 8:21 my favorite coda in all of music
I want to be able to play this....
*spends 1 minute, gives up like always*
4:34 was where the violin came in in Your Lie In April.. you're welcome :D
I love this piece so much! There's no words that can explain how much. I guess that I'll have to learn it after finishing the etude.
One of the most beautiful pieces ever. Thank you so much for posting.
I don’t watch anime, but damn “your lie in April” was good
No

Get tf out
@@saulsolis8432 How are you???
Definitely one of my top 3 favorite animes... it got me back into taking piano lessons after a 25 year hiatus...
How is dis piece connected to an anime!?
Chopin was absolutely brilliant and if he didn't die tragically young. He would have surpassed Beethoven musically. It's a real shame Chopin only lived to be 35. Just imagine the music he would have created at the age of 50.
DeadTownManifesto1985 Its such a shame, if only he was born 25 years ago. He could have probably lived to be in his late 60s or even 70s
I listen to this everyday before school (5 00 am) and it’s always been able to force my eyes open.
One of my favorite Chopin pieces. Absolutely beautiful.
3:02 - 4:00 -- Always reminds me of Rachmaninoff, to me! Great Videos!

This song and Danse Macabre actually inspired me to start piano lessons. Therefore I will forever love this song that I'll hopefully someday be able to play.
This piece gives me so many chills whenever I listen to it...
2:09 I just love that part
I can definitely hear the violin in 4:34
Is that...?
One if not the best piece of piano music ever composed
One of the superb and timeless Chopin's pieces. This music transcends all emotions, who could've hate this? It's beyond perfection! I just can't help myself to love it.
Sadly, only few actually knew this piece.
Instead of crying about the fact that people come here from Your lie in april, you guys should calm the heck down and appreciate that people are exposed to classical music through modern media. I think it is great that people listen to more classical music through shows like that. But no, you have to stay on your elitist trip. You know what that reminds me of? Some of that stereotypical hipster crap. "I listened to Band xy before it appeared in movie yz! Everyone that knows it from the movie is crap and should go away!" (Not saying that hipster generally are like that, but you get my drift.)
Christ, how can people be so close minded.
Them being exposed is not the problem, but when they come and start spamming the comment section and stealing credit from the rightful composer and perfomer it is simply inacceptable. You can't deny that.
+Lucas M INACCEPTABLU!
amen.
THANKYOU. I already knew the piece but i watched your lie in april too, just gives the piece even more meaning because you imagine that last episode where kaori comes back in his mind, to the dude above it's not stealing credit or ignoring each individual performance whatsoever lmao
Thank you
i like classical music and anime, are we entitled only to liking one of the two?
Both are forms of art.
Both are colorful and tells a story.
Both are created with passion and hard work.
We should think that the two can be appreciated genuinely at the same time.
Now, time to listen to aria da capo while sketching.
Please dont leave a reply on this comment.
Well said, my friend
Heh
Hello hehe
Vince 2016
And also, respect the music, pianist, and composer. The composers worked hard to bring us this type of music.
Classical music is solely classical music, not background music.
+Lucas M sure if you want to fully appreciate it,it will need your full concentration but you can definitely use it as background music
This piece is so beautiful I really appreciate it. I get goosebumps ever time I listen to it. I can really feel all the loneliness and despair in this.
I think it's the one of the bests classical songs! Chopin was great and will be great.
What piano vst are you using? is sounds amazing!
This is Pianoteq with the Bluethner add-on :)
Thanks for the speedy response, is that your main preference?
You're welcome! And yes, it's actually my first and only vst - they have pretty good free demos if you'd like to try it out.
Im starting today 😁 wish me luck everybody hehe!
Hows it going?
@@mooses1988 I cant believe I sent that a year ago! Honestly it went great but it was a huge struggle since that was way beyond my current level!
@@sofii1878 that happened to me too. I can only play up to the first transition and after I gave up since im only at a level of nocturne op 20
I can play up to 0:15 and feeling great!😁
This piece is a beauty.
Nothing quite like it can be found anywhere else. This is Chopin.
Without a doubt one of chopin’s best compositions
Just was thinking holy crap, that's insane for a machine, then I realised it was a real performance :D

If you're trying to learn this through synthesia-like videos, you probably shouldn't be trying it yet
What The Helicopter (大和美琴) pretty sure it's kinda insane to learn it from synthesia. The beggining yea, but when it hits the dramatic part synthesya messes up your coordination due to it's speed. That said, ppl who want to learn this must really have piano experience, finger technique and amazing hand coordination, resulting in being able to read the sheet music:D i think i've seen you typing somewhere that you gave up on this. we share the same story. Planning to give it another shot though. Gl to you 2 pianist fellow;)
Traian Batog Its one of those pieces I keep doing and coming back to.Then hiding from it again. This'll be my third go at it
What The Helicopter (大和美琴) I would say you would need at least 6 years of playing the piano to be able to learn this piece through synthesia, i've been playing the piano for 7 years and i've almost learnt the whole piece without much difficulty.
Dark Duck
Its deceivingly easy in the beginning. I'm only a borderline level 8 player and this gets scary towards the middle and the ending is absolutely nightmarish
What The Helicopter (大和美琴) Hahaha, yes i guess you're right. Though, It all depends on how much time you're willing to spend and how good your skills already are. Also, we all have our strengths and weaknesses, i would say that my strength is, learning by sight (synthesia) i simply find it much easier than learning through notes and theory, this is probably because i never really bothered to do my theory at the early stages of my playing the piano.
i've just recently become interested in classical music but wow, this is amazing
I can't help but cry to this piece, I believe it to be one of the most sad songs that there is and that there always will be.

@@kirararagi an anime. It's called in English "your lie in april" it's a pretty great anime that deals with a pianist who has refrained away from the piano and meets a violinist who urges him to jump back in and also becomes her accompanist for her violin.

NostalgiCrysalis I agree
Well, if you live hundreds of kilometres away from your hometown, suffering loneliness while your house back home is being bombarded by Russian artillery, who wouldn't feel tragic about it?

Even though this is synthesia, I can tell the person playing had a blast playing this piece. Kudos to the player and a great piece!
This got me so hypnotized, I fell from my chair when my brother came into my room :D the piece just sounds so beautiful..
Sounds so different to how most pianists play it.
When you accidentally stumble on a song that will give you the feel.s
It is an angry, happy and peacefull piece. There are many feels in it :)
Ilias The 123 I agree
happy? its over all sad as hell in my opinion
whats this have to do with anime???
