    Chopin's Etude Op. 10 No. 3. Often given the nickname "Tristesse", which translates to "sadness". Do you think it's an appropriate nickname for the piece? Chopin himself never gave his works nicknames, the emotion he conveyed through the music itself says all that needs to be said. Sometimes the nickname "L'Adieu" (farewell) is used for this Etude, and I feel like a farewell describes the melancholic, but hopeful nature of this piece more. Have a beautiful Thursday ♥

    I personally think this is the closest thing to Chopin's take on love. The piece starts with exquisite beauty and romance, not yet passionate but more of a quiet marvel, as if approaching her from afar. At 1:04, it finally happens, we finally meet the heroine and the heart swells and accelerates with joy. This is then followed by a melody of the utmost tenderness at 1:19. Love has become something cherished and precious.
    Then the passion follows at 1:37. It starts with utter joy but something starts to go wrong at 1:46. A brief reprieve at 1:55, but it finally devolves into downright anger at 2:00. You can hear attempts at controlling the temper at 2:05 but he finally loses control at 2:11. Rage, pain and perhaps a tinge of jealousy was rampant in the next section.
    Until he finally quiets down again. And the third part which is a repetition of the first becomes more of a reverie of the happy times. A catharsis in a sense.
    It's almost like Chopin wrote a whole romantic novel with this 5 minute piece. I don't think "sadness" captures the piece very well. There is sadness and a sense of loss for sure, but it contains so much more: beauty and romance, joy, passion, longing, as well as pain and anger and frustration. Knowing Chopin's troubled love life, I would venture a guess that the piece was highly personal for Chopin. Perhaps he had one of his youthful but brief love affairs in mind as he composed it. And maybe that is why Chopin ranked this piece as his favorite.

    I've always enjoyed Chopin, but I never really understood his music, until yesterday when I lost my dog. And then Chopin's music came to mind-- this man knew melancholy, sadness, hopefulness, despair. Nothing i do or say manages to convey how horribly destroyed I feel when my dog died, except Chopin. This song reminds me of all the times we had together, me thinking of how he used to look so silly doing things, and then the melancholic feeling of realising he's not at my feet anymore. But then hope springs to me when i think of how he's quietly at peace now, and we'll see each other again.

      I think I understand you perfectly well. A 71-year-old man writes to you who still remembers his beloved dog, even though he died exactly 60 years ago when I was a boy of only 11 years old.
      I cried for him alone and without comfort for months. Nothing could comfort me, and there was a piece called Exodus (Mantovani and his orchestra) which I associated with him. What made me most heartbroken was the fact that I was absolutely certain that I would never see my beloved Pillín again. When I listened to that song I cried even more.
      Throughout my already long life I have lost other pets and I have also suffered, but that time was the greatest sadness in my entire life.
      Now I have great faith that I will see him again when I leave this world. I know it will be so.

      19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of [a]corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

    I like this piece. It is called "Sadness" and I think the nickname is fitting. It starts out gentle and calm, like you are processing the situation; the it gets confusing and frantic as you feel confused and question why this is all happening. Then it all calms down, and gives you this sense that it will be okay, you're going to make it through this, even if it may not be clear, you're going to come through and be whole again.

    I can’t stop shedding tears. This ever-so distant feeling... it’s far more than what emotions alone are capable of allowing any human entity to experience. It feels so inhuman, but maybe that’s because it’s more human than anything I’ve ever felt. As I was a young child, classical music was always playing throughout the out family’s household. Needless to say, there were classics bedtime CDs/DVDs that my mother would play for me on a consistent basis. A part of this piece’s melody became instantly recognizable to me through feeling- a feeling I’ve gotten before; a feeling I’ve gotten whilst re-discovering pieces included in the CDs/DVDs that were played to me. Re-discovering this piece has lead me to shedding tears for the first time in a long time. This feeling, to me, is more sacred than words can convey, and I wish to share this feeling with others. This is what it is truly like to feel. This is what it is truly like.

    This guy surely left a huge mark on jazz. This composition stands out from anything created during that time or earlier. The musical harmony has a distinctly jazzy feel. At 1:04, there's a rapid sequence of larger chords, including 9, 13 or 6, augmented, 7, and 7 b5, all packed into just 20 seconds. Plus, even at 2:48, that part maintains a jazzy vibe.

    When I hear this music, when I feel every note of this score, even with three different performers, what I feel emanating from this score is not sadness. It is close but yet so far away, I feel like remorse or rather regret. It alternates between regret and nostalgia. Remembering the past is sometimes painful and can make us cry but makes us move forward. This is what Chopin's Etude op.10 n° 3 makes me feel each time.

    So the other day I was listening to a Chopin playlist while doing some work and this little tune came on. It was fairly innocuous, a nice little etude, but then came the part around 1:18 after the big swell, those few seconds of tender notes, and I had to stop whatever I was doing and just... feel. For the past few days I've listened to just that part and cried occasionally. I don't know what it is about it, but it just brings to my mind so many bittersweet memories and touches a certain part of my soul unreachable by words (and this is coming from an amateur poet). This right here is the thing that, in my opinion, classical music has on most other music, those moments where it touches some indescribable depth within us and, for a short whole at least, takes us beyond space and time into the eternal and infinite.
