Chopin Etude No 3 Op. 10 Tristesse

[paulacris25]

This music opens my heart and takes me to the past... It sets me free and brings nostalgy.... :)

[5inthehole]

How any human could write a piece of music so beautiful is beyond me. It seems to me more than sublime; infact it might be considered miraculous. It may be similar to that being played at the entrance of the pearly gates!

[SuperPianoProdigy]

Absolutely the best version I ever heard. 

[bioteologo1]

Sentir, esta inmensa nostalgia de tu amor…

Vivir, sin poder transformarla en realidad,

sabiendo, que es tan breve la vida,

y estaremos distantes toda una eternidad…

j.m.moreno.- Nocturno Nª 7 "

[xnarutoxxi]

Overall great performance, however their lacked climax and rubato in some areas.

La Chanson de l'adieu

[adix2361]

Because I'm a sad person I love this music and ''tristesse'' means that in french, it means sadness, Chopin was also a sad man and his music is for sad people to find their souls and this young man he really brings ''sadnes'' to life..

[rectalspike]

Very good for a 13-year-old. He's big for thirteen, too. I like the church background for this piece.

[nguyenvietcuong1990]

i can't believe that he was only 13 at that time.

he looked like 25

[ambarb52]

thank you... beautiful!!! good feeling... and you have a beautiful Chopin... good job

[royalconcertgebouw]

His playing is magical.

[stovacious]

Beautiful! I was truly moved.

[VietAnh98]

IS IT HER OR HIM, NICE PLAYING!!!

[gerundino98]

I prefer etude No3 played on the bagpipes

[ensai07]

i love that he's charming and i like the hair whats up with it

[plushmoon02]

beautiful. gorgeous technique as well

[xCHibiiEverlastingx]

good god the lad is a genius. i could never play like that in a million years, and he doesnt even need sheet music!! damn him..! one thing i have that he slightly lacks though is the passion,, but for me my passion does not translate into fine playing xD

[5Whisperer]

Lovely tones; nicely played.

[gregozzo]

se è così sega a 13 anni figuriamoci a 40... i nostri pollini (ieri) e bacchetti (oggi) sono ben altra roba!!

[blonded4lyf]

Epic...although, a hair cut would make it sound better. and i bet i will get lots of thumbs down. keep playing though and gz. im learning to play it. im inspired...

[Crimmyblues]

Screw you, his hair is AWESOME

[blonded4lyf]

Honestly?

to be fair it is a little too cool to be true...and dont get me started on the jackups! justt joking, nice playing btw.

beauty

[thomasojii31]

@Crimmyblues What has his hair got to do with it???

[simpsons225]

I say to hell with all your fancy degrees and grades. Music is to be enjoyed and expressed, it's not a competition, it's not limited by 'grades'. I never took any musical educations or attended piano lessons, yet I still enjoy playing the piano by ear and sheet.

Take it easy people, peace!

[balletlover159]

he needs emotion,

[blahblahpacifist]

where's the emotion??? there's got to be some emotion in the guy even though he's 13...

the sound's so ringy it makes the sound better (of course that's to me)

[bry4n3]

cooooll..

[himejaganshi]

Sugoi ne!

You play very beautifully! Gints-san!

I'm still in Grade 2 but I play pieces beyond my grade, For example Fantasie Impromptu..

I'll try this piece you just played next..

[talks to herself] Gambatte Hime!! You can do it!!

[talks to Gints]By the way, you don't look 13 to me...

Am I really that short... T.T

[talks to herself again] No..That's not possible, my friend is shorter than me, I guess

[talks to Gints]Anyways! Good luck on your next performances, or something...

~Ciao

[melovetorun]

pure genius.

[englishplayer40]

genius is somewhat exaggerating, but it was pretty good. very accomplished. could do with a bit more passion where needed and subtely where needed though.

[danielags16]

you dont look 13..you play it better than me :(

[GrandPatzer]

I didn't hear the grace notes at 0:37 and 0:39. Are they there, and I just didn't hear them?

[RenatoABabka]

yeah, he didnt mark em very well.. but he did good

[xxshizuka89xx]

Nice.. I love this song.. that was beautiful..

[unfairplay]

can anybody tell me what grade this piece is...?

[englishplayer40]

overall, it's beyond grade 8. mid-diploma level, but if you take the slow section on it's own then probably only grade 6.

[danielags16]

I played it in grade 8..but I don't believe in those things, you can play Rach's 3 but if it awful it's awful, you can play Beethoven's Op. 49 sonatas but if it's great it's great.

[Martytta]

I'm in 2º... and can play it  :)

[Ines120]

I'm in 1st and I can play it too .. GOD, you need years! xD

[LordGints]

thanx, i used the left foot because i had to use my right foot for the normal pedal ( the one on the right) at the same time

[o0oxAzNPRiiDExo0o]

Amazing playing, Gints. You, sir, have definitely impressed me with this performance, thus earning you the Epic Performance Title. :D

by the way.. Why do you use your left foot to use the damper pedal? just asking

[SNinian]

...such beautiful music. i can play this exact same piece, but somehow its different when Gints plays it. When he plays it i picture a girl all alone in a straw hat next to windmills and beautiful green hills with daisies showering the ground. When i play it i picture a woman going out on a boat to find her lover, and then drowning D; lol Hm.... ur also quite cute too. :D lol

[pianogirl98]

Very very nice, Gints!

[piano6861]

Gints, this is wonderful playing, and this is not because we are both Latvian!!! 5 stars to you!

-Benita

[JenLigaya]

good job

but you seem a bit stiff and unemotional. Need to work on the expression and interpretation of the meaning of "tristesse."

[richardre06]

being 13 years old is perfect!

[piano6861]

I don't believe that "tristesse" is Chopin's title, but an editor's interpretation. I have seen this piece under different titles.

[doobool2002]

nice playing. i love the song

[pianoland]

i enjoy listening to you very much. congratulations. this one of my favorites.
