Hi guys, FINALLY I've finished editing this crazy project! This is probably the most difficult piece and editing process I've done on C.L Piano. I truly hope my hard work these past few months has paid off, I know there are some tricky sections of this first movement which have some mistakes. My goal in using MIDI to orchestrate the non-tutti sections of this piece and adding reverb to the piano in Logic Pro X is to create a concert hall atmosphere. I hope listening to this, the orchestra will sound as realistic as possible and not editing out the mistakes it will be as close to a real performance as possible. To tell the truth, I had been debating if I should "fix" the mistakes manually, but for one, I cannot do this as the piano part is not a MIDI file, and even if I could, it would be dishonest. So I plan to release another version of this in the future (maybe early 2022) in case I can offer a better performance to my viewers. I hope you don't mind the small visual problems, like the annoying black square which sometimes covers my hand.... I have spent hours and hours editing this video over a few months, and I'm so excited for you to see it in its full form after all those teaser videos :) Second and third movements coming in 2022, along with plenty more big projects! THANK YOU so much for 500 subscribers! I have chosen to hide my subscriber count until a higher number of subscribers, but in just about a week I've gotten to 550 subscribers! So far, I don't have plans for a 1K subscriber special...I will rely on my viewers' suggestions! I will be posting a lot more on this channel, stay tuned 🤩
Hello, your performance is excellent. I didn't expect someone would play a concerto movement to celebrate the first 500 subscribers on his TH-cam channel. Love it
Petition for C.L to play Beethoven Emperor Concerto?! A most beautiful interpretation of Chopin's Concerto, I will be thrilled to hear the other movements!
I would like to hear your interpretation of the other two remaining movements, is that too much to ask? by the way, a very good interpretation, I liked it a lot.
You deserve 5 million more subscribers if you're gifting your audience this beautiful piece after reaching 500. I can only imagine what mindblowing piece you'd be playing by then. I will be here to listen ❤️ Bravo!
Playing this piece solo is difficult enough.. playing with orchestra without rubato is even harder as the midi orchestra does not accommodate pianist 's rubato. Amazing job!
Thank you! The hard part of playing with orchestra was made a bit easier, since I was able to add the orchestration after having recorded the piano part. Glad you enjoyed! 🙏
I feel like Chopin wasn’t exactly the type of pianist who did concertos; rather he was more of a soloist. Therefore this concerto falls somewhat near the bottom of all piano concertos, and his solos, like his Ballades are among the very best of songs. That being said, this is a very beautiful piece, and your interpretation is simply stunning. Very well played… keep up the great work!
Agreed! Yes, Chopin was very afraid of audiences, and he refused to play in front of more than 300 or so people, most of whom were close friends (of friends, etc.) or relatives. He was often not in great health, and various scholars estimated that he only performed about 30 times in public for concerts. Thank you for your great comment, I'm so glad you're enjoying this! I just got my new LED strip after the old one burnt out, so I'll do some new pieces soon (this video and all the ones before it did not use LEDs but the virtual effects).
While I do agree that Chopin had a shy nature, I would say this concerto suffers a lot of undeserved "hate" from some people, when I believe it's more of a case of "it just didn't age well". Chopin was admittedly a terrible orchestrator, albeit he could make wonders with the piano. Yet critics said that this concerto brought the spirit of Beethoven, who was considered unbeatable as a composer and the finest orchestrator to ever live, to the concerthall. This does sound paradoxical, but Chopin's inability to work with the orchestra made him opt for a clever approach instead of a big and explosive one. In the score, we can observe his smart use of countermelody (specially with the cello), using the flute to create rich colors etc. but now comes the "aging" part. He clearly wrote it with the less resonant orchestra in mind, the less resonant concerthalls in mind and most importantly the less resonant PIANO in mind. At the time, all those intricate elements might have complemented the piano's expressiveness really nicely, but today it's hard for a flute to be heard when there's an instrument the size of a minivan being played in full power in front of it. The solo part is absolutely gorgeous, and the tuttis come just in the right time. While it is true that compared to the great piano concerti (Rachmaninoff's, Tchaikovsky's, Beethoven's, etc.) is relatively underwhelming, it remains an incredibly expressive piece of music, even while making light use of the orchestra. By itself, the E minor concerto is an outstanding musical achievement.
@@gigaguy1773 I enjoyed reading your comment! I agree, I think the piano itself was also different in his time period, but nowadays, even with the more powerful concert grands it is difficult for the piano to come out amongst some of the orchestration (one example is in the final part of mvt. 1). Thanks for the insightful comment, I appreciate 🙏
Chopin's Concerto No. 1 is really grand and melodic. I like it very much❤️ I saw pianist Seong-jin Seong from Korea playing at the Chopin Competition, and I thought it was really cool! Because "C.L.Piano" plays it, it feels like I'm watching a wonderful performance that is as good as Seong-Jin Seong's performance hehe I'm going to watch the video well today!!
You are an incredible pianist well read musician and a great storyteller I hipe your channel growa to millions because you truly deserve it God bless you man❤
Mi pieza musical favorita del mundo entero! Fantaseo que puedo hacer alguna aproximación de interpretación de esta obraxd gracias C. L. Desde clorinda formosa.
Wow, I just discovered your channel and this amazing video. You played so beautifully ! and also did the orchestra yourself... You're truly the definition of a hidden gem on TH-cam (and I watch alot of pianists to say that) I also see that you have small hands (if I'm not wrong), and I got some courage to learn a piece like this one... I also got some small hands and you're giving me motivation to learn such difficult pieces :) Keep it up !
Thank you so much for this…. I really had trouble with the fingering at 18:18 to the end… I tried to figure it out but I couldn’t so thank you. Keep up thr great work!
Thank you so much for watching the premiere with me! Your comments in the chat are so kind and I love taking suggestions for pieces if you have any! I'm excited to share more music in the coming week 👍Also, I am aiming to get to 1K subscribers by March 2022, can you help me reach that goal?
This is simply amazing! Such a well balanced performance! Calm, with the right emotions to it! And doing it for the 500 subs... WOW! Keep up this splendid work
@@CLPianoMusic I do fake conducting during my 6 miles walk on the sand daily. It's becoming a soul recharging ritual for me. Also get the benefits of upper body workout, helps with balance as well. Give it a try if you ever have a chance. It's very uplifting ( and this is coming from a non musician).
I gotta say, that was one of the best uses of Spitfire I heard so far. And that is scary. Because up to this point I could always easily spot when an orchestral library was used instead of a real orchestra, but this here is about 90% convincing. It actually sounded way more natural than the electronic piano you are playing. That is a real danger for orchestras. At least in film music.
Definitely agree. I hope that these orchestral libraries will be used primarily for practical purposes when one lacks the opportunity to perform with an orchestra for recording, and that they will never overtake the natural and beautiful sound of a live performance.
I probably will soon, but I need to figure out if enough people listen to it that it's worth the price to make a release. If I don't add it publicly through a release, I could create a playlist on my unofficial Spotify and send it to you :)
At the start a little rushed you could take a little more breaths sometimes ;), but beautiful performance none the less. Im playing the first mov as well, always when im playing it again, im always thinking ah I can play this part different and then listen to others like zimerman how they play it, so you're like almost never done with playing it different ways .
Hey that was incredible, I totally admire your playing style But can you do the same with the concerto 1 of Tchaikovsky, at least for the first movement please I would like to play the same but with my own style obviously
If you are able to study this as a gift for your 500 subscribers, then I have no words to describe the type of person you probably are to the rest of people.
I would like to play them at some point, but I've been learning/performing Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 1 this year, so that may happen before I go back to the Chopin.
Hallo, congrats for your work! Could you disponibilize the orchestral only? I would love to play this concerto in my place with a nice orchester sound. I could pay for it, it would be fair after your hard work.
Thanks so much for your kind comment! Please feel free to contact me at the email address in my channel description to obtain the orchestra only part for free (I don’t believe it is possible for me to sell because I’ve used also a part of the music minus one for the orchestration). Thanks again! 🙏
