@tigerlilja8 It is physically Impossible to recreate this with the voice... oh wait? You meant on the piano? Umm, yeah. We don't play songs on the piano, because the piano isn't singing. Its a piece ;)
@anb8205 13 and playing the impromptu, v nice but i expect you to be a very high grade for piano then =p also i would expect them to know that it's a piece and not a song as song's have words in them.
1) 16 people should be removed from the face of the Earth
2) This is anything but easy, if you had any piano knowledge what-so-ever you would know this. syncopation, difficulty of key signature, chopins taste for the beautifully insane is the best way to summarize it.
This song is just as complex as it sounds and looks, the music matches the score perfectly (I would know - I'm learning this piece on my own time).
Unfortunately I haven't figured out youtube's mobile interface so to answer a few questions that I noticed in the comments:
MooKhuTree, this song is a DIPLOMA piano song - past grade 10 RCM and first year teaching/university proffessional course course (my source is the RCM's 2010 Syllibus) most of the stretches are within an octave's range and what
Does anyone know the range of this song? Because my range is only one octave. I have small hands and its hard to play songs with more range. I mean reading this peice isn't so bad. I've been playing piano for eight years right now. Oh, and are there any good classical or romantic songs that any of you suggest?
@NotTheBoom ah I see your point. Seems like all Chopin made was Etudes, so its kinda tricky to say which piece is easier than others, since their all difficult to play in their own special way. I am trying to learn Etude Op. 10 No. 5 at the moment, so to me this piece would seem a tiny bit easier to me...for now lol
This doesn't look too difficult. Not impossible, but not simple either. At least it's a tiny bit easier (in my opinion) than Etude Op. 10 No.5 by Chopin.
@DeathhsLegacy Sure, it's an Etude so it requires the technique it was designed for to be top-notch, but if the one you're referring to is Black Key (and if memory serves, it is) then no, this piece is more difficult.
@piano916 You are not wrong! I think you are referring to the intentional wronge notes. I'm not used to hearing it played so differently from the actual score. Good technical player but I don't like all the changes to the original notes.
I don't know how/why is it possible for anyone would not enjoy this Masterpiece!!! I am sorry for those who marked "dislike"....Put on your headphone and listen to the melody of both hands (unbelievably beautiful) - I've listened to more than a hundred versions and this is by far the BEST! NO ONE EVER PLAYED LIKE RUBINSTEIN! Not even Kissin or Yongdi Li.....although I enjoy them both. Perhaps no one would ever catch this level....
@Post4JM Yes, thank you, I love Rubinstein’s playing the best too! ^_^ I agree with what you said, as I enjoy both Kissin and Yongdi, but when compared to Rubinstein, it’s like comparing apples and oranges. As AMAZINGLY well as Rubinstein played Chopin’s music, it is almost like Rubinstein was Chopin’s reincarnation! I like to play this piece when I am stressed and need to relax, but I can never do it as brilliantly and flawlessly as Rubinstein did. Truly an inspiration!
@butterflydance1 I listened to it, and I noticed that you missed about 45 other places where he plays "wrong notes." Apparently there is another version of this piece; and I guess he's playing that version.
I love how clean cut this is. His right hand comes through so clearly and it's so even.....I'm learning this piece right now, and am finding it quite difficult to play both hands together, evenly and properly aligned. Back to the metronome!
@Zyezion then It is the piano. It sounds choppy in the beginning, I can hear space between each note, even though there are pedal markings and a slur written in. The rest of the song was brilliant, but the beginning was meh.
@veewees One does not need to demonstrate his ability in performance to rate another's. I have a right to my opinion, and I believe the separation between each note shouldn't be so distinct. Now to judge another's opinion with simple anger and no justification behind it might be a little rude. At least I give reasoning behind my opinion.
So I'm finding this song waaay easier than to play than chopin's prelude no. 15... Is that weird? It's the crazy dynamics and intricate counterpoint that gets me.
@Spilgshaoo "So simple" he says! Sounds to me like this piece of music is the exact opposite of simple. I asked my piano teacher about playing this piece of music - she patted my back and told me, "Not for another few years, dear." And you know how long I've been playing piano? For fourteen years, since I was five (I'm nineteen now).
The sad truth is, if you want to learn this, you'll have to study with a private teacher for quite a few years to learn the proper technique to learn it. There are no shortcuts for pieces like this. Sure, there are ways you can maybe stretch your hand through exercises (Hanon, and the Czerny Études Op. 299 and 740 are very good for this) and then of course, you have to learn scales and arpeggios, all of them, and learn how to play them fast and clearly. It requires LOTS of time and patience.
It's thought that Fontana was working from another manuscript which has been lost. Most everyone plays the Fontana version, but Chopin's original is more complex and interesting.
I don't know where anyone would get the idea that this piece was dedicated to Fontana. Actually it was dedicated to Baroness d'Est, and appears to have been composed as a private commission for her. That would explain why Chopin did not have it published.
@Eunhyex3 It's actually only speculation that Chopin hated the piece. He simply asked for it not to be publised during his lifetime, and he even revised the piece numerous times so he therefore wasn't unhappy with it. If you look up Paul Barton's video on Fantasie Impromptu, he discusses the piece similarities not to the 3rd mvt of the Moonlight Sonata, but to Moscheles Impromptu in Eb. Chopins probably knew that somebody (Fontana) would publish the piece Posthumously.
Modern pianists play this double speed, I don't know what is going on. They all play it super fast and light with no respect whatsoever. Rubinstein is actually playing it. Good recording.
@Nothaut I can actually manage the first 10 seconds at this speed, then i slow down (due to amnesia induced by all the black dots on the paper, and from then on, I'm just drooling
@Nothaut hahah! hellz yeah! :D still, even that requires the proper touch...like hitting a drum, for example: pro musicians make it sound easy, but it takes a bit of finesse to achieve the perfect volume envelope(attack, sustain, decay, release)...
I really like how Rubinstein plays. He plays this one so diffrent than other pianists. It sounds transparant, but still so nice, and "full". He plays with so much care.
Nonetheless, I also like how others plays this, but this confirms how diffrent music is to everybody.
THANKS for the this beautifull piece of music, hopefully i'll be able to play this one day myself
Rubinstein does not make errors in his recording. He is playing a different (the autograph) version. The music which appears on the video is not the music he is playing. The sheet music is the Fontana version of Op.66, a different version that Fontana heavily edited.. Get the Henle book of Chopin Impromptus. The 2 versions of Fantasie Impromptu are 4a (the one played here by Rubinstein) and 4b (the sheet music in the video.)
@stibgo sounds like he did at 39 seconds. I've seen other transcriptions where the note was slurred from the other section, but I have yet to seen that version where he hits the first note twice.
I am in the process of learning this piece it has only been 2 days and at first it seemed impossible the 4 over 3 poly rhythm was so annoying. But after practicing for a few hours you notice how beautiful it sounds, like a harp when played fluently with the right hand and you start to understand why Chopin would compose it like that. Truly the work of a genius, learning and playing this piece is an honor. My goal is to finish this by the end of march haha
@Rhymeslayer94 unfortunately no I've been very busy with work and school :( I pretty much mastered the fast part.So far I'm still working on the part in Db major.( which isn't as complicated and technical) This piece is more time consuming than I thought LOL Luckily for me I took my last midterm today so I'll have a lot more time to play
@geeeuknitt7 that's awesome. I also want to learn this piece-for an audition of Berklee College of Music in Boston. I know songs such as Moonlight Sonata 1st movement, is the level of difficulty drastically different?
@Rhymeslayer94 ye if you start now you should be able to play it by then moonlight sonata movt 1 is really far from the level it takes to play fantasie impromptu
Wow, I can't wait for the day I'm good enough to play this! Chopin was a genius who helps give my existence meaning just by my attempting to play his music.
@rjdogful Haha don't be too sad. Whilst the piece played here certainly has feeling, but when Yundi Li played it (see youtube vid), it was on a higher level of emotions that this one lacked in.
I just saw Yundi Li playing this piece and I totally see where you're coming from now. He seems to look everywhere, but the piano keys he's playing. It was truly enlightening.
Will there be someone who can listen to this at the same time he's playing with the ''partiture images'' of the video? :O

I really like how Rubinstein plays. He plays this one so diffrent than other pianists. It sounds transparant, but still so nice, and "full". He plays with so much care.
Nonetheless, I also like how others plays this, but this confirms how diffrent music is to everybody.
THANKS for the this beautifull piece of music, hopefully i'll be able to play this one day myself

Rubinstein does not make errors in his recording. He is playing a different (the autograph) version. The music which appears on the video is not the music he is playing. The sheet music is the Fontana version of Op.66, a different version that Fontana heavily edited.. Get the Henle book of Chopin Impromptus. The 2 versions of Fantasie Impromptu are 4a (the one played here by Rubinstein) and 4b (the sheet music in the video.)

@stibgo sounds like he did at 39 seconds. I've seen other transcriptions where the note was slurred from the other section, but I have yet to seen that version where he hits the first note twice.

I am in the process of learning this piece it has only been 2 days and at first it seemed impossible the 4 over 3 poly rhythm was so annoying. But after practicing for a few hours you notice how beautiful it sounds, like a harp when played fluently with the right hand and you start to understand why Chopin would compose it like that. Truly the work of a genius, learning and playing this piece is an honor. My goal is to finish this by the end of march haha

@Rhymeslayer94 unfortunately no I've been very busy with work and school :( I pretty much mastered the fast part.So far I'm still working on the part in Db major.( which isn't as complicated and technical) This piece is more time consuming than I thought LOL Luckily for me I took my last midterm today so I'll have a lot more time to play

@geeeuknitt7 that's awesome. I also want to learn this piece-for an audition of Berklee College of Music in Boston. I know songs such as Moonlight Sonata 1st movement, is the level of difficulty drastically different?
Rhymeslayer94 11 months ago
@Rhymeslayer94 yes it is lol when is your audition ?

Wow, I can't wait for the day I'm good enough to play this! Chopin was a genius who helps give my existence meaning just by my attempting to play his music.

Have to say this music really lacks the real feeling

,':( Do explain your reasoning for not seeing this piece as having "feeling".

@rjdogful Haha don't be too sad. Whilst the piece played here certainly has feeling, but when Yundi Li played it (see youtube vid), it was on a higher level of emotions that this one lacked in.

@triplelite
I just saw Yundi Li playing this piece and I totally see where you're coming from now. He seems to look everywhere, but the piano keys he's playing. It was truly enlightening.
