- Paderewski's career had a Faustian cast. His demonically driven determination to become a concert pianist, his magical audience rapport, his rapture-rife music, his political career as Poland's first prime minister, and his subsequent efforts to rescue Poland from political quagmire wear a legendary aura more often encountered in poetry. Born to a well-off, cultivated family, young Paderewski received piano lessons from an early age, entering the Warsaw Music Institute before he was 12 to study piano, harmony, and counterpoint. Upon graduation in 1878 the Institute engaged him as a piano teacher. By 1880 he was married and a year later found himself a widower and father of a son. Forsaking the musical backwater of Warsaw for cosmopolitan Berlin, Paderewski pursued composition studies between 1881 and 1883 while moving in the social orbit of the greatest musicians of the day: a young Richard Strauss, for instance, and the lionized Anton Rubinstein. Moszkowski was influential in having Paderewski's early piano pieces published. Feeling the need for further piano study, Paderewski applied in 1884 to the great Polish pianist and pedagogue Theodor Leschetizky who, upon hearing him, cried "Too late, too late!" Despite talent, Paderewski did not possess a fluent mécanique -- during three intensive years with Leschetizky, he transformed mediocre ability into a world-class technique. But well before his Vienna debut in 1888, the beginning of his career, Paderewski possessed the hypnotic, leonine, compelling presence that informed his playing and brought him world fame. This began with appearances in London and New York in 1890 and over 100 concerts in the U.S. and Canada immediately following -- a grueling schedule that was annually repeated. Other tours took him to South America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, as well as the greater and lesser cities of Europe. From the late 1880s into the new century, major compositions fell from his pen -- the celebrated Minuet in G, Op. 14/1 (1887), a Piano Concerto (1888), the opera Manru (1892-1901), a Piano Sonata (1903), and a Symphony (1903-1909). Box office success was translated into good works, sponsorship of competitions, and in 1915, the Polish Victims Relief Fund. In 1919 he was chosen independent Poland's first Prime Minister, in which capacity he signed the Versailles treaty. He resumed his concert career in 1922, touring into old age and frailty to raise funds for the Polish cause in the wake of the Nazi invasion in 1939. Dying in New York in 1941, he was given a hero's burial in Arlington National Cemetery.

It is emblematic of the well-cultured polish people to elect a pianist as prime minister
@@user-le4sb8is4i get help
@@bsdkflh From whom? Leftists cannot help anyone, can they? They would rather drag everyone into poverty and madness.
@@user-le4sb8is4i it has actually been the right wing people who have been doing that, left wing people want to make sure the economy is actually in the hands of the people rather than the hands of the few rich people.
@@TomTom53421 You don't know much history, do you? You know the term Verhushka? In Poland during the communist regime there were special shops only for communist elite. People could not buy stuff which was reserved to the elite.
" left wing people want to make sure the economy is actually in the hands of the people"
And how exactly do they want to accomplish that?
@@TomTom53421 "right wing" knows to produce money but fails at distribution, and "left wing" knows how to distribute but fails in producing money. How about take the best of both wings and live the life? 🤔
So brilliantly played here they were irresistible. Enchanting divertimentos, expertly composed by fabulous pianist, prime Minister of Poland. Refreshing, enjoyable like little music written today.
The first one is a classic. I learned it in my early teens, so watching this brings back nostalgia.
Amazingly, when I received a notification about your comment, it said "The first one is a classic. I learned it in my ear." XD
I always wonder why Hollywood never made a movie about Paderewski. His life has everything to make a succesful movie 🤔
Wow, pod Wielkim Polakiem tylu Anglików... Możemy być dumni :)
Thank you for introducing me to this piece and the composer!
the first movement is Mozart plus Chopin
Wonderful. Thank you.
Such a cute set of pieces! ❤️

I loved these.
In the Sarabande there is a significant relationship to the melody, rhythm and harmony of a Polish Lenten hymn called 'Dobra noc'. I don't know the origins of the hymn, but the relationship is undeniable to my mind and begins right at the outset of the piece, which is just beautiful.
I can't believe no one said it yet, but the sarabande is FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.
It is both odd and distasteful that you would use vulgar language to describe beautiful music.
@@tr7938 I disagree, I would justify why, but my intention is not for you to consider my opinion, rather, I wish to comment here purely for the sake of doing so.
Beautiful
Great playing and interpretation! I agree with her Ab instead of G at about 16:26, although, looking at the rest of the score, it's very well-published and clear.
Wonderful, I was searching the full opus. The suite, except the Minuet, had fall into oblivion unfairly. Great work. :-)
👍
can anybody give me the sheet music in pdf please, i need that
It's probably on IMSLP
I don't understand why the vengeful Lenin was taken so seriously...
It seems to be easy just looking at the score but ..
If there is no problem, you can put Paderewski's top 5,10,15 and 16. Can you?
I'm afraid I can no longer accept any more fan requests until further notice.
Something happened? Or it's lack of time?
I guess to say I am quite overloaded.
(see pinned comment here: th-cam.com/video/vYSRZTwLcag/w-d-xo.html)
Take your time, man. Your channel is great.
I just read your predicament. Take it easy and don't give up. Musicians need this kind of channels. :-)
Dat caprice tho.
Wielkim kompozytorem to on nie był.
The first 3 movements are so gorgeous! …then crap.
The first 3 movements bear the subtitle "à l'Antique", the last 3 - "Moderne", perhaps that'll help you work out why :)
...not that I agree that the last three movements are "crap". Krakowiak is my most favorite piece ever.
