@@sergei.scheenyes I agree I'm a pianist and it's even better IRL when you feel the melody going throughout the room louder and louder throughout the room starting from a single F
Often considered Chopin’s finest work although personally I rank it with the Barcarolle, the Fantasy in F, the first Ballade, and the second Scherzo. I wonder whether he himself was struck by the beauty of his compositions and might have thought “Wow! I wrote that !”
When he first heard Tristesse performed he was really struck by it, almost confused. And about that work in particular, he said "never in my life have I written a more beautiful melody"
Tristesse is certainly one of his best but there are so many others! When I was a kid I watched the 1945 movie “A Song to Remember” about a very fictionalized version of Chopin’s life and in it was the second scherzo which I thought was the most incredible music I had ever heard. ( didn’t know what it was of course, my mom called a classical record shop, asked if anyone was familiar with the movie, someone was and told her what it was…..). Speaking of etudes, I love that slow, very sad one (op 25 I think?) - do you know it.
Chopin said his first ballade was his favorite piece of his, but he said his favorite waltz was the a minor valse (op 34 no 2) which is rather unkown compared to his more famous waltzes. To be fair though he probably said this before op 64 was written.
Thank you for uploading this, this is the finest piece I have ever heard. And these respirations only could be zimerman's, you have great taste selcting composer, speed and pitch. Keep it up!!
I really love several mazurkas but can never remember the opus or number of them - when l want to I listen to them I have to keep guessing! Will have to keep a record of them. (I think there’s over 50 of them (?)).
Maybe this is closer to what he composed, really. Everyone of us that take music seriously should be acquainted with the Whole Beat Metronome practice.
I really, really like this slowed-down version. If you want another interpretation of Ballade 4: th-cam.com/video/7v8_jxGnboQ/w-d-xo.html Wim Winters is very controversial but his is another wonderful and revealing performance.

4:44 the most beautiful musical moment
I agree that part is so beautiful and the voicing is just mwah

8:40 - 9:30 has got to be one of the most calming and beautiful things I’ve ever heard, it’s insane
Oh my goodness, the lower pitch makes it sound even more beautiful and elegant 😍🥺

@@radamik great story! And I think you're talking about op 25 no 7.

6:05 - 7:14 is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard
Chopin’s a genius
You’re a monster for not including the part after that, the most beautiful melody I’ve heard in my lifetime
This just cured my schizophrenia
this was soo good :'( almost make me cry somehow, its just pain and beautiful at the same time.
Recently started getting into classical music and this one is solid 🤘
Yes! I recommend you check other videos of mine, just to discover new pieces ❤

12:07 it's the day you fell in love😌
Thanks you for it 😄

Thank you so much 😊
Thank you!
This is brilliant. Can you make Walzt Op.42 please, it's my favourite
Yes, sure!
Thanks
My favorite ballade. Can you also make Ravel- La Valse and Ravel- Gaspard de la Nuit please.
I'll add these to my list, thanks
Amazing
Very nice! Can you do this to Chopin’s Mazurka op 67 no 3 in c major, short but beautiful piece!
Thanks 😊 I’ll add this to my list!

Wow sounds beautiful, has the piece been transposed to c# minor?
My perfect pitch says so
@@davisatdavis1 really?
How do you transpose into another key??
@@PabloRodriguez-um5ht when you slow down a piece on softwares like audacity you usually lower the pitch too.
Maybe this is closer to what he composed, really. Everyone of us that take music seriously should be acquainted with the Whole Beat Metronome practice.
Who is the pianist? it sounds really good. is there a normal speed version?
I recognize Krystian Zimerman
Zimerman…his version and Richetrs are my fav :)
I really, really like this slowed-down version.

Wonderful, thank you :)
Nathan, exactly what I was thinking! The 6 minute passage here is amazingly revealing and maybe closer to his genius!!
3:49
Beautiful
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
