Most likely no one is purposefully disliking any of these quality YouTube videos. Sometimes people accidentally click the thumbs down button: that's all! If you haven't done it once, maybe you just have perfect aim.
I have only one complaint, and it's about the speed. I wish he'd play it just a bit slower. It's such a beautiful piece. I hate that it ends so soon, but that's why I keep coming back.
c'est une pièce belle mais bien l'interpréter n'est pas si facile car tout le monde l'a joue ou presque!c'est une valse mais est ce que les chiens savent danser la valse??
@koopa322 minute as in small. played at a proper tempo, like this, it usually takes about 2 to 2 and a half minutes. "Minute waltz" was actually a nickname given to it by the publishers, because it's a relatively short and quick piece. Chopin himself called it "Valse du petit chien" ("The little Dog Waltz") because he was inspired by watching a small dog chase it's tail.
I'm studying this piece for my 4th grade exam and listening to you play is not only extremely helpful, but inspirational, so from me to you, thank you :)
At last i found a pianist playing the piece correctly. thank you for not using the octave D bemols at 1:14 and at the end. i think when it is played with this octaves all the elegance of the piece goes away. And unfutunately many pianists play Db octaves for show and more forte but this piece do not need such forte octaves.. it is already written that Chopin uses medium of his piano... So this is a good performance with the right approach.
I love the sound of that piano, and the smooth style you play it in.
However, I get quite bothered by how you place your fingers xD You almost never use the "little finger", and it curls itself in a wierd way when you use the "ring finger".
you are definately wrong,or your teacher.that is no problem.a lot of pianists curl it.horowitz f.e. extrem curl.also kissin,and i think they can play;).
Exactly hehe, people get so hung up on all this technical stuff... From my experience, the important thing is that you hear what you want to play in your head.
I feel that this guys performances are a bit too ordinary for me (I can't do it better though :P). I prefer when it's a bit more contrasting, dynamic, both with regards to tempo and force.
I do like it though, and it is nice to have something to refer to when learning!
i think of fingerings as more of guidelines. the pianist should be comfortable with whatever fingerings he plays, so i wouldn't necessarily count it in with technique.
thaiguy20fromula, Fortunatelly its not what you think, this kind of things are not left to public opinion, the fingering is totally related with the technick of the piece and the autor wrote it that way because thats the way it should be played!
in the end, it's what you hear that really matters. unless it's an etude which calls for a certain fingering, interpretations of fingerings can be rather loose. i recall numerous editions of different pieces with different fingerings.
I think he's playing it the right way though... I've got the written music, and the fingering says to play the C with your 4th finger, not your 5th...
certanly it depends of by whom is the transcription mead, but the quality of it will affect the quality of your interpretation, you can check this webs to find by your self that its actually the 5th
yeah, just practice practice practice! it's a fun piece once you get the hang of it. since i got this piece about a week and a half ago, i've been practicing about an hour a day, although i think just 15 minutes daily would suffice. consisitant, short practice is key, not long practices periodic.
now ive had lessons for about 6 years but i seriously have no idea about these difficulty levels.
i can play this piece quite well i guess, so does that make me a 7? if you could send me a message explaining this system or perhaps a reference that would be great!
If you've had lessons for six years I'd say you're probably "level 7". But really, these levels don't matter at all; it's just a relative guide to show us the difficulty level of each piece. My advice is, just concentrate on your ability to sight-read. The ability to sight read well will afford you more time with musical interpretation, and less time actually learning the notes in the piece. I actually spent a couple of dreadful months playing really easy stuff to improve my bad sight reading.
that's crazy! i've been playing the piano for like 7 years now and it took me like a week of an hour a day just to get down the last page of the maple leaf rag T____T
i haven't had a clue about difficulty levels either, and i've been playing for 10 years...
i concur about the importance of the ability to sight-read. i never really thought about it until i read this comment, but i'll definitely pass it on to some of my concert band kids.
i was able to play through revolutionary etude in about two and a half weeks, and the interpretations are perfect. but now i have the notes on my fingers, i could work more on adding other performance directions.
Wow nice, thats a pretty tough piece. Can you play the first movement of Beethoven's Pathetique?
Kind of random, but I always thought those two pieces shared some similarities, kind of like the Fantasaie Impromptu and 3rd movement of the Moonlight Sonata.
i got this piece about 4 days ago, and i could play it up to tempo now... i love it! it's fun to play. definitely one of the easier chopin works, but still somewhat challenging.
tell me!!! about it!! I broke my left wrist and im recovering i had to stop playin for almost 20 days and now im playing but each time i play this one my left wrist gets sooo big damn it dont broke your wrists!!!
To be completely honest, I have no idea. I just read that somewhere and it seemed a little unlikely :P But alot of people can do it in under a minute :o Well, not alot, but it's not as uncommon as you'd think.
Every person I shared my opinion with said I was an idiot and that it was meant to be (mihn-uht). I'm glad I found out the truth. This piece is too beautiful to be cramped into a minute time-frame.
I can do it in 1:23 but that doesn't matter, because its the quality of what you play, and the feeling that you put into the song, not the speed. You need to be able to understand what was going on in Chopin's mind to fully understand the piece. You have to be like super ultra incredibly amazing to play this in under a minute, and 1:23 for me is with at least 6 or 7 mistakes... my favorite time is always when it's in 1:40-50. It feels more like a song, not a sped up record player with no feel.
i'm sure many people (well, not that many) can do it in less than a minute, however it's called minute waltz because it's very short in comparison to others.
i know exactly what you mean xD haha its pretty cool to see people play piano and see how gracefully their hands move. i am a pianist myself but i enjoy watching others play just as much as i like playing. if you are a pianist yourself put a mirror to your right or left and look into it and watch the person(yourself) play piano. yea it might sound stupid but its really quite interesting.

Ok dont get offended but before saying anything... you have to know a little about the things you'r saying and if you knew anything about music, you would notice that definiteley you cant intepretate HOWEVER you want.. ignorant. people like u are killing me
Let me put this differently for you: if you listened to this interpretation without seeing the hands, you'd say, OMG it's wonderful!, isn't that so? But, because you see the person playing it, you can't get over the fact that he doesn't play according to the "rules." Get over it.
Also, in my opinion, if Chopin included the digitation, he meant it to be a guide, not a goddamn aesthetic criterion.
ok i find your comments very smart by the way and its the point of view that changes, may be you'r a more liberal in the fact that you dont like too much the extrict rules of playing piano. But anyways, I do like how he interpret's this play, but somehow i fell bad about that fact that persons like me spend lots of hours depurating the technic and now a days people sims to forget all about this.
There is a difference between constructive criticism and your type of criticism.
"dont read after words..."
You might want to improve your communication skills. It's not the reader's job to decipher what you actually meant to say, it's yours to express your ideas clearly. And, by the way, it might do you good to learn to think positively. It helps a lot in life.
I really think that i said, you can read it, is that: there's a failure in the technic and thats a lame, because in my point of view it ruins the great performance.. piano isnt just about how good it sound its about elegance as well...and many other things..as you might know that.. dont you?
From my point of view it does not ruin the great performance. Not one bit. The elegance cosists only in how the melody sounds. Of course, that's just my opinion, it doesn't have to be yours. I replied to your comment because I found it offensive and because you've posted the same kind of negative message in several places. Here's an example:
"i do dare he has ulgy hands and missed, he failed to be the new Horowitz. this Juden..." Is this a critique of his style as well?
Ok i totally agreee with you, but if you are so softy to think that my coments are ofensive i beg your pardon... but dont be... the reallity is the reallity and i can see you dont play piano, there is a reason for playing... with N finger.. other wise you can play one piece with any finger as long as it sounds correct... sorry but thats mediocre
It looks like I'm not the only "softy" around here, because it wasn't me who gave you six thumbs down.
I don't know whether you play the piano or not, but if you think elegance and even genius depends on using a certain finger, it's not hard to guess your level of competence or taste as a matter of fact.
I'm sorry for offending you now, but I believe you couldn't even come close to what Tzvi Erez has accomplished in this vid. If you wish to prove me wrong, post a vid of yourself playing the Minute Waltz better.
Ok your right my friend, but just take more time to read what i wrote, some few comments below I wrote, piano is mead of a bunch of things,,, and I dont see why Chopin.. would bothered him self for writing the digitation of each single piece, cna you see why? (may be he was stupid right?), a master piano interpretation is mead of plenty of facts, and each has different value but as matter of fact, digitation is very important it gives gracious and style to a pianista...
What's wrong with the little finger of your right hand? You're better off putting it in your ass. It's not nice to have it hanging in the air like it's been broken >_>"
Nah, it's feasable. It just takes a lot of practice, but that of course is something that applies to almost every beautiful song. (Of the more skilled electum)
Go listen to your garbage rap music. "dat" that's real cute, fucking idiot. You other people shouldn't even waste your time trying to explain it to him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hahaha funny!! The song is called "The Minute Waltz" and yet it took this guy a minute and 50 seconds to do AND his timing was perfect. So this was Chopin's flaw i wonder.....
its a little pun i like. of course now i know it has to be said in person cause its all spelled the same. Thanks for being the one to correct my comment.
His technique was relly good, but I haven't really heard Chopin in his playing. The interpretation was a little too 'flat', by lack of better words. But that are just my personal preferences I think;)
...My name's Nicholas Parsons, and as the Minute Waltz fades away, once more it's my huge pleasure to welcome all the You Tube visitors from around the world.
how long did you take to learn it?

But anyways, I do like how he interpret's this play, but somehow i fell bad about that fact that persons like me spend lots of hours depurating the technic and now a days people sims to forget all about this.

yeah! that fifth finger... not good technic... what a lame..
1ddbb1 3 years ago
wtf you hate it but it's on your favorites list lol
jigoku66 3 years ago
a failure in the technic doesnt mean I hate it,,, dont read after words... Nothing can be
perfect,, and you can critizice, no you cant, you should, to improbe..
1ddbb1 3 years ago
There is a difference between constructive criticism and your type of criticism.
"dont read after words..."
You might want to improve your communication skills. It's not the reader's job to decipher what you actually meant to say, it's yours to express your ideas clearly. And, by the way, it might do you good to learn to think positively. It helps a lot in life.
jigoku66 3 years ago
I really think that i said, you can read it, is that: there's a failure in the technic and thats a lame, because in my point of view it ruins the great performance.. piano isnt just about how good it sound its about elegance as well...and many other things..as you might know that.. dont you?
1ddbb1 3 years ago
From my point of view it does not ruin the great performance. Not one bit. The elegance cosists only in how the melody sounds. Of course, that's just my opinion, it doesn't have to be yours. I replied to your comment because I found it offensive and because you've posted the same kind of negative message in several places. Here's an example:
"i do dare he has ulgy hands and missed, he failed to be the new Horowitz. this Juden..." Is this a critique of his style as well?
jigoku66 3 years ago
Ok i totally agreee with you, but if you are so softy to think that my coments are ofensive i beg your pardon... but dont be... the reallity is the reallity and i can see you dont play piano, there is a reason for playing... with N finger.. other wise you can play one piece with any finger as long as it sounds correct... sorry but thats mediocre
1ddbb1 3 years ago
It looks like I'm not the only "softy" around here, because it wasn't me who gave you six thumbs down.
I don't know whether you play the piano or not, but if you think elegance and even genius depends on using a certain finger, it's not hard to guess your level of competence or taste as a matter of fact.
jigoku66 3 years ago
I'm sorry for offending you now, but I believe you couldn't even come close to what Tzvi Erez has accomplished in this vid. If you wish to prove me wrong, post a vid of yourself playing the Minute Waltz better.
jigoku66 3 years ago
Ok your right my friend, but just take more time to read what i wrote, some few comments below I wrote, piano is mead of a bunch of things,,, and I dont see why Chopin.. would bothered him self for writing the digitation of each single piece, cna you see why? (may be he was stupid right?), a master piano interpretation is mead of plenty of facts, and each has different value but as matter of fact, digitation is very important it gives gracious and style to a pianista...

also because the real genious botterd them selfs writing.

What's wrong with the little finger of your right hand? You're better off putting it in your ass. It's not nice to have it hanging in the air like it's been broken >_>"

Who cares about conforming or non-conforming. If you want to learn the piano than learn the piano. To think like that is just plain stupid.

Nope, it's not hard at all, however, matching the speed is the tricky part. once you get used to it it's really fun to play

A charming composition and equally well played. Thank you for the up load and the history of the waltz ^^.

i love the pianist playing it, but i just dont like the piano echoing so loudly after each note. i prefer a more short echoed piano for this piece.

it's not supposed to be a minute. Chopin's publisher called it the minute waltz to mean small, just as itstristanyo said.

Hahaha funny!! The song is called "The Minute Waltz" and yet it took this guy a minute and 50 seconds to do AND his timing was perfect. So this was Chopin's flaw i wonder.....
Great job foo.

zhongguogirl93 3 years ago
His technique was relly good, but I haven't really heard Chopin in his playing. The interpretation was a little too 'flat', by lack of better words. But that are just my personal preferences I think;)
It's still nice to listen to.
