間違えてるけどいいねぇ

I didn't know he played the Impromptu... It's amazingly good. Too bad he died, he should have been immortal. :(

laurion69 the coda means everything in conclusion of this piece...

actually the name of the piece is "Hurry up, I'm frightened!" the composer is talking to the death and the death is chasing him... the coda is so horrible... we hear the end of the life and wails of grief in the C sharp... what a sadness what a pain

[Sashomei]

kempf is like glenn gould

Beautiful!

[laurion69]

I cannot understand what has happened in the "coda", at 4:01 in this rendition...

[paulprocopolis]

Since this is a live broadcast, my guess is that Kempff had a brief memory lapse and improvised for a bar or two!

[laurion69]

Yes, I think you are right.

[laurion69]

@paulprocopolis

I think you are right.

Sometimes Kempff, as also Cortot, played false notes...

But we listen to that great interprets beyond their material imperfections, that to say that all we love the spirit of their amazing rendition, don't we? :-)

[paulprocopolis]

@laurion69 Yes, definitely!

[el6caballo6oscuro6]

@laurion69 I agree, it's like "wabisabi" (侘寂) - art is alive and imperfections are what makes life great

[ANTiRussia1]

@laurion69 a too very false tone. Also, at 3:52 several false tones.

He generally plays not what Chopen wrote.

Out od this world! Thank you

Maestro Kempff,s playing here, was full of nervous energy .he must have been aware of , as he gradually took his place firmly , and still today ,as one of the legends of the piano world.....
