and here i am, in my early 15's, practicing this piece for my july recital and the only thing i can say is that this is the most beatiful and emotional piece ever... the thecnincs are hard, for sure, buut beeing soul-prepared to play this is even harder... the best 10 minutes of my day are when i close my practicing section playing this with all my body and mind, almost eating or breathing every note, shade, color of this piece... Chopin was the greatest composer ever and i'm so glad i have the oportunity to feel this. Thank you for this video!
This was one of my recital pieces when I graduated in 1991 from music school. It is a delight to perform and remain one of my favorites. Although I have not played it in many years. This is a kind of piece that you actually study once you're passed all its technical challenges. The technical aspect It's only the first half. Then working on the interpretation aspect, phrases, rhythm, texture, sudden changes. The beauty of this piece is in the interpretation. You just need the technique. Then you can work on it.
After listening to this piece I'm gonna promise to myself that one day i'm going to reach the highest point of my piano playing where I play pieces, concertos to the world in a grand piano.... This is my dream. The joy it makes when I have when I have finally accomplished this is infinite.... Good luck to me.... this is going to be a long journey
I guess you have big or normal hands. I have extremely small hands and I know this will be never be a possibility for me because piano is the least inclusive instrument of all time, which makes me despise it
@@smm3r Every possible answer to this question is going to be debateable. But it's a good shout, probably my favourite along with Brahms Intermezzo 118 no2, and Ravel's Ondine
There are so many subtle shadings and colors in this interpretation that I hear different things every time I listen to it. This pianist is beyond amazing and he does it in a way as to not mess with the melody and musical ideas very much. When I listened to Garreck Olsen play it he turns it into a totally different piece and drastically brings out other harmonies and I understand what he's doing and it gives me a better understanding of what is hidden in this masterpiece, but just too much. Everyone must interpret a work their own way. That is what gives music life. We all need to say the work in our own individual way.
Absolut, hier ist die Technik brilliant, aber bei der Interpretation kann ich nicht ganz zustimmen. Viele im Notentext sichtbaren Vorgaben wurden übergangen und ich denke, genau das Verständnis für Melodie und musikalische Ideen macht die wahre Interpretation für Musik aus. Dennoch, ein spannendes Erlebnis!
Ce pianiste a un talent fou,quand il joue je ressent de l'émotion, on récent ce que l'auteur a voulu exprimer...merci pour ce passage dans le temps ,génial interprète !
zimerman is a genius, this recording is just monumental. this is currently my favorite piece from chopin, i listen to it at least once a day. the melody thats introduced in the 7th measure to me is just one of the most beautiful things ever written for piano. im practicing this now, im nowhere near capable of playing it this well without at least a decade or two more experience, but hopefully in a year or two i will be able to play it with reasonable proficiency. every day progress, little by little, one day i'll be able to and then i'll be able to play it for the rest of my life :)) !
Zimerman knows precisely how to inhale a Chopin piece. I'll try to play this . . . when I already have the confidence and patience to finish it without giving up. XD
I thought I could at least play half of the piece, barely got through the first page and so proud But I think I can play Kaori's violin part, never tried but maybe and I hope I can
@@randomguyontheinternet6546 oops got me there i have been neglecting my piano for a year😂😂😂 things gotten pretty hectic and i know i shouldnt be doing this, but i cant make time i am sorry if i disappointed anyone :( but thank you for reminding im going to have a break for a week before i start the next semester
I think thats a very helpful thing you did. Marking the piece so people can see all key changes. Although in measure 7, the inverted Gm chord. The version I learned had a D, not an E in the upper note. I still think it sounds better with the D insted of the E. 😊
The E-flat is what Chopin wrote and academic consensus agrees is historically correct. Many editions have a D as an ossia because the E-flat creates a strange chord but the point of this chord is to introduce the minor ninth interval that is a structural component of the piece, as well as to create an E-flat major triad among the upper three voices, as E-flat is later the tonic of the second theme.
Excellent performance, Krystian. Very well done. Good dynamic contrast. Nice tone quality. Good accuracy and execution For my tastes, I should like to see the moody, slow passages taken a bit slower. Really romance those parts.
Buenos días,con un sentimiento profundo , alimento para el alma , invito a todos , a este gusto, es Dios en la tierra , desde Armenia Quindio Colombia Sur América, gracias.
😅 6/4 helps keep the the pulse in the melody just right. You might think 3/4, but 3/4 have one strong beat and two weak beats per measure. 6/4 gives you two strong beats per measure. If you look at the piece, you have 2 groups of 3. It's the right pulse. Imagine 6/8, 3/4, 3/2. It wouldn't sound the way it does.😊
there is a really strange sound at 3:00, roughly beat 3 of measure 65, that sounds like a glockenspiel or a vibraphone playing a soft F in the background ... at first i thought it was sympathetic resonance on the piano but the attack is too clear.... what is that!
8:34 and 8:48 ... same chord but sounds so different... the second sounds a bit brighter... is it because he stresses the higher note? or am I tone deaf?

I'll be trying soon but my right hand is gonna be dead so
I hope to play this one day :)
Start to learn it. Just try it. I always wanted to play the Hammerklavier sonata and I learned half of the piece in a few days.
Don't we all?
Practice practice and that day will come way sooner than you think. It's all about the frequent practice.

Looking for the most complete and perfect piece ever composed, I've finally found it.
The last page of the score and i be like 🤯
What's the key signature?
Chopin: yes
Chopin, seriously, why did you make the end so long!
Beautiful coda with a heavy ending.
@@hansdekorver7365 it's the moment when you finally think you are able to play the piece, and then the coda comes and shows you are wrong
@@n0pl4c3 coda of this masterpiece Is so fucking hard
When i listen this,i remember the story of Wlade Szpilmann..
Nobody:
Chopin: Let's write some music that audiences will love and pianists will hate me for 😏
6/4 😮
😅 6/4 helps keep the the pulse in the melody just right. You might think 3/4, but 3/4 have one strong beat and two weak beats per measure. 6/4 gives you two strong beats per measure. If you look at the piece, you have 2 groups of 3. It's the right pulse. Imagine 6/8, 3/4, 3/2. It wouldn't sound the way it does.😊

The piece is public domain the recording of it is not. If you make your own recording you are all good to go!
Impressive performance, although many of Chopin's indications in the score were simply ignored.
