Amidst the technical aspects it's the musicality of the ballades that shine through. Pure genius that blew my mind as a teenager.

Beautiful, crystal clear playing, and I don't hear any missed notes at all. This coda is my favorite in piano literature, and the main reason why I learned how to play this beautiful Ballade (not nearly as well as you).

[@user-sathz]

I cannot describe how relatable these thought are (although it never ends well)

[@zhuzhu4634]

These are great suggestions. Thank you for sharing with us, Dr Lee!

[@stepaushi]

Not the "almost there" part!

[@AdrianCameron123]

How so clear 😌😌

[@nickplayspiano]

That was wonderful, I thought you played it so well! Way better than I can lol… but yeah this so funny and relatable to me, I love it😅

Years ago, I abandoned ship on this ballade a few months before my senior recital and switched over to the 3rd ballade. Found it to be more attainable at the time.

[@twinblades-thewilltokeeplo6084]

Yes please make a tutorial of the coda!

👏👏👏👏👏

For me, I just don't understand how people call this coda really "hard", cuz i kinda feel like this is one of the easier codas of the four ballades.

[@JeewonLeepiano]

It’s not the hardest. But it is the stumbling block for most people who can almost play Ballade #1, where as the fourth ballade is hard from the very first octave. 😊

Amazing internal monologue! 😂

[@onetwo3170]

Only pianists can get that!!!

Do you have an in depth video on tips for Ballade No. 1? I’m a 13 year old trying to learn it and would really appreciate it.

[@JeewonLeepiano]

I don’t right now. I can consider making one, addressing the especially challenging spots. What part of playing it troubles you the most?

[@stepaushi]

Never think "almost there"!!!

[@JeewonLeepiano]

Oh no that’s like jinxing it. If I got a dollar for every time I thought “almost there” and messed up…. 😌

[@stepaushi]

@@JeewonLeepiano Yah, I know the feeling!

[@나정희-n9y]

Don't think ..go
I like it

[@PauloBarreto15041964]

Keep working. It's fine. You can do better, but it's a great effort so far.

[@JeewonLeepiano]

Thank you, sir!
