Humanity would be a lot uglier if Chopin never existed. Thank you Pianoczar for making this Godly piece a bit more visual for us unworthies... 12:56 ... how?
I love the first movement, always.. There's this magical roller coaster of emotions it puts you through (this also makes it the most dificult to interpret in my opinion), the textures and themes.. It's incredibly emotional, virtuosic, nostalgic and sad while managing to come out triumphantly elegant, fragile and carefully embellished all at the same time... Only Chopin!
This is what you call a pianist's piano piece. It will only truly be appreciated by piano enthusiasts who, even with your incredible synthesia video, will be the only ones who can hope to see what is going on here.
It's so interesting to see how Chopin can connect these really complicated parts of the composition and re-use them and somehow make the flow seem smooth. And his left hand melody / progression, tempo changes, chord usage, it's never boring.
@@mareksmid6906 True but most of the time the sheet music has specific instructions like fingering, accents, and rubato that can only be seen on sheet music. Alongside that, I haven't met anyone who uses Synthesia and learns from it enough to be good enough to play pieces like Chopins or Liszts works.
@@none5020 Yeah the fingerings are all written down there, and if one's trying to become proficient enough in playing classical music to play Chopin, they should really know how to read anyway for the future.
21:06 reminds me of the Happy Birthday theme. This Sonata (and Liszt's B minor) belongs to the very top among my most favourite sonatas. Op.58 is a hell to acquire and mature, both for its musicality and its virtuosity (especially its outer movements) but profoundly satisfying to play.
and I keep asking myself how composers find their inspiration? It seems to me that such a gift is innate. For me, Chopin is one of the most important artists in classical music!
I use Fazioli, don't know if it's the same package, but yours sounds way to deep. After some mastering it gets really clear, sharp and realistic. You can check mine here, if you want th-cam.com/video/_5DrzdtJdz0/w-d-xo.html It can also sound pretty bad with low quality MIDI, but if you spend enough time with the dynamics - it gets an awesome tone, imo.
In the right hand? At 22:22 I start with the fifth finger on the b and do a 5-4-3-2-1 and then turn my thumb over and do 4-3-2-1 for the remaining octaves. Then coming up I do 1-2-3-4 and at the top, from the e just before the peak 1-2-5-4-3-2-1-4-3-2-1-3 and then the same again. For the fast bit after that at 22:30, an easy way to remember what to do is think of everything in three note chunks. That's all that section is, just sets of three notes moving chromatically upwards in the right hand. Now, for every three, do 1-2- and then for the third one, if it's a black note use 4 and if it's a white note use 5. That's a good rule that works for most, if not all, of the three note chunks. Hope this helps!!
after playing the piano for a year and a half, I managed to play the 3rd movement flawlessly, now I am learning the 1st movement, but I am struggling through it. can I learn it?
Jimmy Alderson but just because a piece is fast doesn’t mean it’s hard - the sonata goes through so many moods that’s why it’s so hard (in my opinion), interpretation is the key - of course technique matters but I disagree with you that if you could play the difficult etudes you could easily play this sonata as well, I do not think that
Jimmy Alderson I did not mean to offend you or anything like that, I respect your opinion and just didn’t agree with it - now I do understand you more and agree more with you. Still I think that this piece could be the hardest of Chopins.
Jimmy Alderson of course all these pieces are difficult, but for me in my experience learning this sonata was the hardest because I was never fully satisfied or proud in the end because it goes through so many moods. But that’s just what I felt like - for me this was the most difficult - other pieces are difficult to master, of course - but that’s just how I felt like.
Jimmy Alderson I only mean the Chopin pieces. As I said - in my own experience the sonata was the most difficult to learn, compared to the other pieces he wrote. But that’s just my own experience - for somebody else it could be that for example the first ballade was the hardest - for me the sonata.
Debatably. There’s no definitely “hardest” piece by Chopin because difficulty is subjective. Most would agree that this or his concerti are the most difficult. Maybe his op. 22 or op. 2, even.
I’m so glad Chopin existed.
Eddie Hutchence Me too, my friend. Me too.

12:56 ... how?
Jon Jonsson The most beautiful thing which may go through a human ear
But what about Schubert? And Debussy?
@@emadmary4271 they are also great . Liszt and Schumann also
emad mounir Schubert paved the way for early romantic. In my book one of the best melodists of all time, with Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Brahms etc.
What about Ravel and Scriabin

22:43 Right Hand is Incredible Beautiful
lol its like someone is screaming really hard
True and even the left hand part
The conclusion to the largo movement has one of the most gorgeous chords I have ever heard.

Scherzo is my favorite part! Thank you!
I like how it is written tutorial but any one who has the level to attempts this should know how to read sheet music lol

@@andrewracer7861 yes
On Chopin’s page on Kunstderfuge
Easy
Ohhhh franzzzz
what do you mean by easy ?
Well, he’s Liszt, he can play anything on one hearing, and if not that, sight read it instantly, and if not that, learn it within a day or two.
The hardest chopin composition ever!
Jimmy Alderson he is not so wrong

Yes, this Sonata and the 4th Ballade are most likely Chopin's most difficult.
LRCM anyone??
Nope.
This thing is well into FRSM/FTCL stuff.
Wtf kind of reverb is that? It completely destroys the left hand
so long
This optic version is stupid and the music is not well played.
I cannot see in what way this is a piano tutorial. It is pointless. I am practising this piece at the moment.
it shows you what notes to play
It's a synthesia visual of the sheet music. Very difficult to put together. Your comment is a bit disrespectful.
