"Simplicity is the highest goal, achievable when you have overcome all difficulties"
~Frederyk Chopin~
Where do you read what Chopin said?
If I feel like crying my eyes out, I listen to this piece. However, not all the pianists, including some of the best-known ones, cut the mustard for me. Eric Lu's interpretation is very clean and sensitive.
i fell in love with this piece hearing it in a documentary on Horowitz at his 80s, tought he was the only one which could play it right ....I just changed my mind, absolute beauty
Imagine how transcendental the performance shall be when he is 60.
I can understand why so many pianists feel uncomfortable playing so much of Chopin. It's so personal and full of pain albeit so powerfully beautiful
People with only left brain have a hard time grasping the unfathomable profoundness in Chopin's works.
this is so true ! My teacher, who’s a concert pianist, tells me that he “doesn’t like” playing Chopin because it lays his heart bare on the table, it exposes the hidden depths of one’s soul and he feels, his words, “pretty vulnerable” when playing Chopin’s music. I think, on the other hand, that it is the most beautiful thing a musician can experience, because that ability to express vulnerability is at the core of music itself.
as a pianist I don't understand, its simply the best music to play and feel..
Without doubt,the very best performance I have heard of this divine ,sad,piece,Chopin breaking his heart of his beloved "patrie".Thank you.
It does make me cry.... there is so much melancholy in it, so beautiful interpretation, it cannot be any better.
C
It can be: Horowitz
it could do without the facial expressions imo
Fully agree. I too am one of those that tends to cry or even sob when listening to this piece's main theme, and Eric certainly channels the spirit of Chopin.
Goosebumps.... I didn't even notice I was holding my breath jesus
It definitely does that to you
Beautiful rendition. It's amazing how modern this piece sounds.
I'm a Pole and I'm deeply moved by how non-Poles (particularly non-Europeans) just play Chopin's mazurkas well, and it feels like someone is talking to me in my own language. This Chinese dude maybe doesn't know, but he can 'speak' Polish. And he 'speaks' it straight to the heart.
It's cheesy but true. Music is a universal language.
miły
I agree with you on this performance but I find Europeans are the ones that produce the best sounding mazurkas
his teacher/mentor is Dang Thai Son, the winner of the 10th Chopin Competition
I just like two things about this performance; his lyricism (he makes the piano sing) and he doesn't always rely on a strict tempo, especially where it affects the lyricism of the piece. It's a successful and deeply felt interpretation.
I played this piece for a recital this year, and he plays it just as i remember it
absolutely brilliant amazing job
Even as a skeptic, it's pieces like these that make me contemplate the idea of a creator...
Christoffer Enfors the creator being chopin
@@raymondgood6555 More like the creator of Chopin
Jesus is king 👑. Turn to him for he is the only to heaven 🙏🏻
Read the book:
Paul Washer
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
What I do like about this is that he plays this piece like a Mazurka as it is, not like a Nocturne or something else. Bravo.
에릭 루..다들 에튀드 칭찬하던데 나는 이 곡이 더 마음에 들엉.
A melodic masterpiece played brilliantly!!! Bravo!
Pur génie. Compositeur et interprète au sommet de leur art.
Merci.
My favorite Chopin Mazurka♡♡
A genius can compose so beautiful music and it takes genius to play so beautifully .Thanks Eric.❤
It feels like spring, like the sun on your face and like the peace itself
Chopin walks across this beautiful music like a ghost...wonderful.
this is such a beautiful metaphor.. one of the best things i’ve read about this piece
I could never express in words the true essence of "Chopin" captured in this unforgettable interpretation. Simply captivating and hauntingly beautiful!! BRAVO!!!
Amazing. Full of melancholy, sadness and añoranza. I don't know (and can't imagine) a better performance. Love you, Eric
Incomparably beautiful.
This music : a little smile between the tears
Some comments just deserve a ‘bravo’!
Mazurki Fryderyka Chopina to kwintesencja polskości ❤
he is a dreamer, maybe to Chopin orthodox this is too jazzy, but for me this piece doesn't need to rush, one of the best if not the best version of this beautiful mazurka
the word "jazz" or "jazzy" would never come to my mind after hearing this, but "improvisation" would come. its not the same..
+Felleg 4 well, I met with such a opinions, for orthodox listeners even such a small improvisation is called 'jazz', but who cares...
I see your point, sorry jazz means something else to me.
@dontzenyourselfout listen to his teacher Dang Thai Son playing the same piece. It's almost identical.
One of the best performances of this piece
I love his interpretation of this..I feel so pretentious saying that, but I feel like I only just understood what that meant....
DELIGHTFUL, MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE.....
Beautifully played...
Magnifique interprétation ! Bravo.
So beautiful~~~~~ㅜㅜ
I am a Korean who likes this song.
I listened to this music by comparing the performers.
His feelings are the most empathetic to me.
So I am happy!
Poland is proud of a excellent musician :)
it's a piece
Could Chopin really have played it better than this?
yes he could
Yes lol
Nope
No
I have no idea. Some (but certainly not all) reports from back then seem to suggest that Chopin"s technical prowess as a pianist fell short of what we assume that it was. In his YT channel "AuthenticSound" Wim Winters apparently agrees, asserting that Chopin's chops were not nearly as good as Liszt's. (Then again, rightly or wrongly, who would dare compare ANY pianist with Liszt?)
Not for nuttin' (as we say in NYC), a story was making the rounds several years ago about a good tenor who asked a GREAT tenor (since deceased) for a favorable quote to put on the good tenor's latest album. At the story goes, the great tenor obliged by offering the ff.: "It doesn't get any better than this." Understandably, the good tenor declined to use the great tenor"s "rave" review.
1:22 listen to his beautiful middle section ,just perfect. His music is so calm and relaxed like when he’s playing the piano he is in another world completely. Stunning ❤
This piece is s simple, but REALLY hard to make it sound beautiful
The sensitivity, the subdued emotion, the subtle timing nuances and the immaculate execution... all make for an absolutely sublime performance.
Bravo, bravo e poi bravo...

Beautiful 🎹🎼
This reminds me his teacher's playing:
th-cam.com/video/9HWVCi1763s/w-d-xo.html
fantastic. might better than chopin. maybe...
une de plus belles mazurkas
La mas bella
Thumbs up! Kid's got it in 'em. :D
Excellent performance! Thank you!
Every time this perfromance overwhelmed me
Devine...
I was surprised at the gorgeous tone. Too beautiful AMAHA and pianist fingers.
Though I’ve listened to it, it always gives me the same feeling of pure beauty
very nice, maybe a little bit more of a nocturne than mazurka...
Magnificent.
I love it
the best intetpretation of mazurka ever.
This guy is amazing.
bese mazurka ever in chopin competiton.
Best version on the internet.
I was searching for something in my favourite prelude: 4 op. 28. I love it so much, but it sill feels to me incomplete somehow. I know now that I was looking for this mazurka.
wow his sound is so angelic and pure
Lo mas contemporáneo de Chopin ...cuantas preguntas flotando en el aire ...
👍😅
pozdro z muzyki
Wizard👏👏👏
Eric the best!!!
Eric - wielki szopenista. Doprawdy wielki.
WoW
Beautiful work and a great pianist - well done!
I really think Chopin was jazzy.
Beautiful
A me piace molto.Suono elegante, pulito, mai troppo forte ne troppo sospeso o etereo. La giusta dimensione per Chopin 💜
Beautiful
beautiful

Bravo!!!🥹✨✨✨✨✨💛

ただただ素晴らしい。
God bless
Horowitz plays it best.
Ah, so true. I just listened to Vlad play this. Sublime!
beautiful
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Lekko i pięknie
마주르카 중에 최애
It should be a spare Polish anthiem and i think it is
Eweryone who lowes Chopin and Poland can agree with me
Hermoso
He use the brand of YAMAHA. Thank you so much from Japan.
Your finger action....ahhh music in and of itself. Thank you for your years dedication.
This is a perfect interpretation, in my humble opinion. I prefer it to Horowitz's, despite my profound respect for the latter.

마주르카는 언제 들어도 최고네요ㅠ
It was a good interpretation, still you have a long way to go. Anyway your interpretation was my favorite. Congrats
The ending is wrong, it should drift off slowly into silence. Guy just rushes through it.
Music is subjective.
You may say you didn’t like the ending, music is so subjective and nothing is really wrong
You need to tell this to Chopin, who is responsible for this ending. The pianist just followed the composition, which he did admirably. Although I agree that he could have ended it more permendosi...
Sorry but i don't feel soul in his preformance, it's good, but not enough to cry.
Get out, you sentimentalist
Drag into boredom, mannered
I would suggest that while listening here, you also cut some onions. This if you want to cry. Otherwise, appreciate the deep BEAUTY of this music (beauty is a first class perception of our soul ) We can appreciate musical beauty without seeking the sadness in it.
