Chopin, without doubt a genius.
you speaking facts
my favourite polonaise
Mine too! See those dislikes?!! I said out loud afterwards, WHO COULD DISLIKE IT??? My gosh!
Zack S Mitchell Probably people who didn't like it, not that hard to figure out.
While I certainly would never give something like this a "Dislike," there are some very questionable moments of rhythm. For the most part the rhythms are wonderful, but, he often "cheats" on the last beat of the measure, especially on the latter half of that beat. Since arguably the most important aspect of a polonaise performance is the rhythm and since some listeners might be terribly disconcerted by that kind of rushing of the last beat (I am!), I can well understand there being slightly mixed reactions.
My favorite Chopin polonaise - so completely original a work of music; sometimes I think music like this must have made living in the 1830's and 1840's VERY interesting. The melody that begins at about 4:50 is so elegantly beautiful, the very essence of Chopin. This is an exquisite interpretation, it gives the work the grandeur it deserves: it is one awesome composition!
Brilliant performance! I'm in love with this heavenly polonaise. The mystery beginning carrys me along everytime I listen to it, and this trill in bar 10 is simply godlike. Chopin was a genius.
Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem ❤
Chopin's best polonaise, the melody of the main part is so intricate and original it's fascinating, while the mazurka part that begins at around 4:50 sounds like it came from heaven - such an exquisite work of music. Can't imagine what was going through Chopin's brain when he wrote this but thank God for it - think of what he might have done had he lived for another 20 years!!
The mazurka is literally just the main theme.
@@milton3204 still doenst change the fact the whole piece is amazing
i always think about what Chopin was thinking when he composed this. The beginning part is my favorite.
Probably the 3rd movement of Beethoven's 5th Sonata
@@tarikeld11 Cute. But they sound nothing alike. In fact chopin wasn't a big fan of beethoven. Chopin's favorite was Beethoven's Sonata in A flat Major
@@tarikeld11 the beginning octaves are quite similar to the tempest sonata by Beethoven
@@WesCoastPiano Why not? The melody is almost the same, both hands in unisono, and the melody is repeated with a pause inbetween
Poland.
I agree that this is the best performance of this polonaise. A rare recording indeed. Thanks for posting.
I was completely transported by your playing of this Polonaise by Chopin..always one of my favourites. .thankyou..
He plays it very well, sure there are some mistakes but he is actually doing something with the music and using dynamics very well. Ive played this, the hardest part is the octaves when it transitions to the B flat minor section and he nailed them. Awesome piece
Magnifique. Merci de l'avoir mise en ligne!
it's an absolutely brilliant masterpiece.
most dramatic polonaise! I love it!
Merci pour le partage ! L'écoute me rend heureuse.
You can just hear his pain from missing his home country so much... Polska forever 🇵🇱
He was french
@@KR-mm4el he just wasn't though
@@charliestead6070 yes he was
@@KR-mm4el he was born in Poland and didn’t leave until he was 20. He didn’t live in France until hew was 21. Can I ask how does that make him french ?
@@charliestead6070 he was half because his father was, but yes his home land was Poland
Thanks for uploading this.
i love the transition into the mazurka
I heard this played live on radio 3 last night and just had to find it again .3.03 onwards to 3.50 sublime,great live play ! thankyou
A powerful performance
beautiful interpretation! thanks for uploading.
THE BEST CHOPIN'S POLONAISE!!!! ❤️
Excellent playing of this piece.
One of my favorite polonaises, have tried to sight read through the piece, but haven't got much farther than that.
One thing, however, whenever there is a You Tube video of any classical piano piece in a live performance, there is always a comment (or a few) on mistakes, dropped notes, etc. to which I will say this: You try playing these pieces up to tempo and see if YOU do any better. We've all gotten so used to these pieces sounding just like a recording even in live performance, it's amazing
+Keith Sampino I heartily agree. These are extraordinarily difficult works.
+Keith Sampino i assure you that because these are classical pieces,not so known compared to lest say 'moonlight sonata',that the people that come here usually are advanced musicians.
Keith Sampino f
Keith Sampino not really. It’s is expected that a professional should be able to play every single note right. You try it yourself. It is a must unless you’re old and successful
It's not really about a wrong note, but many can't see behind the notes
My favorite polonaise.
This song is beautiful, my heart is excite.
wow just heard it for the first time at the Chopin competetion. I was blown away! what an incredibele piece.
CHOPIN WAS BRILLIANT!!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Oh god this is such a good piece tf
I dunno why but this sounds to me like one of those Rachmaninoff pieces.
Because Rachmanioff was mostly inspired by Chopin ( I think ) . Some of his work actually dedicated to Chopin
zheming tang It has a similar sound to the op 23 g minor prelude.
You mean similar beat, right?
Rachmaninov did mention that many people prefer the A-flat polonnaise than this one because of the octaves. I think it was mentioned about how technique should be perfect so practice should be more on interpretation. He mentions how this polonnaise is purely Russian in a sense
@@Melviora - Well... maybe not "Russian", but Slavic, since Chopin was Polish.
Bravo bravo bravo brilliance super music polonaise grandiose
MASTER WORK !
A god damn masterpiece
Well, I have been playing 3 1/2 years, and my teacher assigned it to me last week.
I would suggest waiting a year or two, but I doubt you'd need "years and years" Depends on how hard you work.
I would say wait a little bit only because it will take you a long time and you might get tired of it.
Wait, and then play it- then you will always like it as much.
As a last thought, a musician friend of my family once said that "it's 10% talent, 90% hard work!"
Best wishes to you.
At 12 years old, I had been playing for 9 years. Got that piece then.... You are probably a prodigy. I spend an hour at the piano per day. You probably spend 40.
Arcydzieło, rewolucja ! Chopinie, geniuszu ❤
wonderful...
02:28 This tril in bass makes that mięknie pała.
J'adore ! ☝️👏✊
Great interpretation
i think this performance is quite good. i mean enough for beıng a professional. great score; holy CHOPİN
The A major modulation is great 0:45
At 8:23 he plays E natural (right hand) but it’s E#. Fortunately they make those little mistakes and remind us that they are human too.
F
written as E# in F#m
3:57, 6:40, this is what makes B major my favourite key😊
yay
Scriabin fan listening to Chopin for once. I can see why Scriabin opus 21 is compared to this. It is interesting to see where my favorite composer drew his inspirations.
But by the end, I am getting really tired of this. I would need to listen to Chopin for weeks if I were to want to regain the ability to properly enjoy the music. Back to Scriabin.
Por mais que a dança entre, o tema obstinado se impõe ascendente. É belo esse contraste nessa bela Polonaise.
this piece was played in Piano no Mori anime, and it exemplified perfectly Wei Pang's childhood, its suffering and sorrow just like Wei Pang's childhood
not that horrible cgi trash at least the animation in YLIA was much better
The first season of the anime kinda sucked, but it got a bit better in the second season. I hear that the manga is pretty good though.
Wei Pang bless his heart. Lol the fact that people get caught up on CGI when the MUSIC is the most important aspect of the show! I want to be Kai Ichinose.
Pa-pa-pa-pa-PA!
So great, and ironic.
Ironic? I don’t get it-
@@mountchoco8174 *iconic
The greatest Chopin Polonaise. Alongside the Polonaise-Fantasie, more experimental. But all Chopin's published Polonaises are masterpieces and deserve as much attention as his Ballades and Scherzi.
This very well played. I wonder what Chopin was thinking when he was writing this? F sharp minor is a very rare key for songs to be in.
Maybe pop music
Chopin has a penchant for three sharp keys (A Major / F-Sharp Minor) for his militaristic or Polish music
@@zanexiao4488 I never noticed that but yeah you're right! Interesting
You should see Scriabin, pretty much every piece of his is in F# major/minor, G# major/minor, Eflat-minor, etc.
piece*
고맙습니다
I want this song playing at my wedding, if not, I’m not going. Enough said.
song?
You can hear the person recording go "Cut" at the end, ahahaha
It wasnt a cut, it was a snip of the audience applauding after the live performance.
I don't understand, I'm headbanging to exodus one minute and now I'm fascinated by classical the next minute.
A very fine performance of this difficult piece, indeed.
A rather classical, well-balanced approach.
But no one brings out more darkness and fire as
Horowitz in his 1967 (not 1968!) version ...
this will probably take me 2 days to sight read through this sheet once LOL
This piece is INSANE! I wanna play this piece soo bad....... But I only have a year of experience playing the piano :(
supersonicpit How is it now?
How is it now?
How is it now?
Et maintenant? x)
How is it now?
When I hear this I always envision Napoleon and his Grande Armie'
...
Oh, that's what it looks like on paper. Eeeeeee!
I'm reminded of a Bugs Bunny cartoon, where he sees what's on the page and gasps.
Play very well
anyone have any tips for practicing the killer synchronized 16th notes section. the left hand just cant do them clean. also the lh. run d#e#f#g# tricky...whats a good fingering.
Oğlumun icrasıyla çok farklı güzel bir Polonez...
I don't understand the section at 2:55, is it suppose to be a dance form or? I know Chopin wanted to have some contrast to bring the intensity from the first part back but I just don't get the section at all. I'm not criticizing him, I'm just curious as to why he wrote it that way. On the other hand, the 4:48 section makes more sense to me.
very polished recording, however i think the 1951 rec. by rubinstein is the best version because of how he interpreted the song's storyline
Chopin dedicated this song to the beautiful Polish Princess Ludmila Komar.
Hi! Somebody knows where can I find the edition that is on the video? Thanks
I know it's late but this is probably from IMSLP
Well, as I remember Chopin in one of his letters wrote that the middle part of this piece is just a mazurka:)
Thats where I got my inspiration for op. 23 no.5 ;)
Hm... Source?
@@dap4699 de.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_Préludes,_op._23_(Rachmaninow) Sorry its just German, but if you listen to the march you'll hear it. Moreover, one should keep in mind how the concept of Rachmaninoff Preludes is.
@@yannickm5237 yes, I've read that one. If you notice, there is no source there either.
*Who's Watching in 2019?*
*Who's watching in 1841?*
Me, me, me. I want to play like this one day!
Me...Thank me later...
Me
Not me
As much as I love this piece and every bit of dramatic military expressions, I feel like the left hand running passages 2:14-2:20 steal away the thunder of this majestic piece too early.
You can’t tell Chopin how to compose! Cause he’s dead
The first 2 bars just sound like Beethoven's one of the finale which I did in grade 8 ABRSM
start NOW!!! even if you have to take it one measure at a time.
@gumslinger How is it butchered?
This piece reminds me of Rachs G minor prelude.
I think I´ll try to play it but I think it’s gonna be the most challenging piece I’ll ever try...
I’ve already learnt to play rachmaninoff’s op 23 no 5 and I think I was able to play it with few mistakes but I’m not sure if this piece is on the same level as op 23 no 5 or if it’s really more difficult
its harder
Piano no mori?
🖐
Yessssssssss
Hey i can play op 40 no 1, turkirch march, serenade by schubert, etc. Do u think i can try this?
Antikfone 1 This is one of the hardest Polonaises; like, it's ranked no.1 or 2 in difficulty, rivaled only by the Heroic Polonaise and the Polonaise- Fantaisie. Try if you want, but it's going to be tough.
Hyoseon Lee And the grand polonaise brilliante I assume
Of course you can "try" it. You can learn it with back breaking practice as well.
3:03
what is harder to play, ballade no.4 or this polonaise ?
Milos Cekic The ballade by a long shot.
The ballade is much more difficult.
the end of ballade 4 is harder technically, but the whole ballade 4 is harder in musical terms
Horowitz is definitely the king for this masterpiece
Yes exactly, also Rubinstein in the Moscow recital.
@@hassansoliman970 Blechacz is master of polonaise
@@waszkreslem9306 oh, Im a fan of him, will check out his interpretation and hit you up :)
このバージョン好き！！イイ！1:20のとこと2:13からの、ファ~~~~、ミレド~レミファ~~ところの拍の取り方、、、感情移入し早くならず、目一杯拍を使ってるというのかな。これ相当手が大きくないと、こんなにオクターブでなめらかに弾けないよね？普通サイズの1.5倍あれば、弾けるようになるのだろうか、、、、
:)
Where Doppio Movimento tempo???
IMAGINE ROBESPIERRE PLAYING THIS PIECE OOOOO THATS HOT
I wish I could play this piece as well as this pianist. Did anyone else hear the flub at 4:03?
+Mark Simmons dude, relax, it's a satire, a part of the performance and interpretation.
One day in the not too distant future, we will look for these imperfections to know it was not played by a bot.
Polonaise op. 44 >>>>>>>> polonaise op. 53 by far.
Both are great!
You are going to need years and years of experience and get up to an artist level ability. My teacher is at artist level and he is playing this song. And he even says it's super hard.
If you listen to just the left hand....
He adds some notes at the end that are jot in the score.
Don't listen to guy that gave bad advice. You should start playing when you are experience enough. This piece above diploma-level, and you might be a 5 or a 6? Spend some time playing some other stuff, there is A LOT (and amazing) of chopin that you can play at your level. :)
7:20 wow
5:56
thats a crazy amount of notes to miss. like 100? jeez
it harkens to rachmaninoff op.23
I think ballade 4 is harder.
javiertw89 of course it is.
A polonaise and a ballade can’t really be compared. But both are difficult.
Ballade 4 is said to be the most difficult Ballade... So...
Mmm Maxie
ads in the middle of the slow movement SHOCKER. won't be back here
I feel better now that such a nice performance has a couple of mistakes in it. When I play this one, I have a hard time keeping up the physicality. It is a demanding piece, for certain.
@Krinos00 doesn't matter
1:47
It’s ok
It's nice
Could have done better. Hopefully he will rewrite it.
Tobius Raskin Isn’t he old and senile though?
@@luci316 I think he's only in his late 20s
Tobius Raskin Oh! Well, we should give him a pass since he’s still young, right?

3:03 - 3:47 and 4:06 - 4:46 show the musical equivalent of an obsessive-compulsive disorder....and 7:40 - 8:19 sounds like a musical panic attack....
