Well, you´re playing good. But not perfect. In order to play this perfectly, you have to understand Chopin and feel what he felt. It´s just a little bit, but this make the difference...
LOVE. You are awesome, and have real talent. Expression is everything and I love your interpretation of this piece. When I play I like to close my eyes and hear the piece as i like it and I see that is what you do too at times. Keep playing!!
funny how musicians today get recognized for spittin out gibberish aka rap music. not knockin it..but this is some true music..with real talent. What an ingenious time period in history.
I am so glad to have finally know what this piece is called. I've heard it on Clock Towers 3 and the Sims 2 on my PS2 games and I heard it in a Korean Drama I was watching. I love this because it can be romantic yet scary/dramatic at the same time <3
@pianodude007 Murray Perahia has a great interpretation of the Fantaisie-Impromptu, you should check it out. It's different from Li, but Perahia plays with a sense of honesty and less subjectivity.
to be honest I don't like how the people from the region where Japan, China, Korea and them are, are called Asian. Asia is BIG, it has countries like Russia, Turkey, Armenia, India and all these others in there, too. nothing to do with piano but I just wanted to say...:P
Im british and it wanted to learn because my mum could. I'm actually trying to play this piece atm.... a few more years should get it to this standard :P
I have many asian friends and I'm not a racist, but there is no argument that the white race has produced the best composers and pianists. It's not that being 'white' gives you a music 'gene' - it's just cultural.
Asian parents like to force their kids to play instruments to boast to other asian parents about it.
That said, asians are certainly up and coming on a global scale and it looks like the future of the global economy may be centric around China.
hmm maybe best classical composers but this has nothing to do with the white race. because the hole living situation in Europa was totally different than the situation in Asia. the traditional music of (for ex.) china is very beautiful. And don't forget the Jazz music. Jazz is can be very complex and interesting if you analyze the compositions. And who are the gods of Jazz? Black people ;)
Disagreed, I'm chinese myself and no parent of mine forced me to play the piano. I chose for it myself because I love the instrument and I'm proud to say that according to my teacher and another one at the academy that has heard me play before I'm one of the best piano players right now at the academy, rivalled by one who's a year older than me
But then again, I'm raised in Europe but I know friends in Hong Kong that aren't forced either :)
and yeah, I said I know some friends who aren't forced, but there are Asians ( especially those who are wealthy) who are forced into playing an instrument. My nephew for example is.
However, in my opinion, a musician is not someone who can play perfect, but someone who can express his/her feelings through music (same goes for any art).
@wings0r I wasn't exactly forced either, I wanted to play violin when I was young, but then we couldn't find any violin teachers, so I took up piano. Later, I started playing violin, but I still like piano much better.
@wings0r People generalising Chinese people to be forcefull towards their children are ignorant, because they can't stop themselves basing their oppinion on rumours... This really pisses me off, because people start to act like they know everything while in fact they don't know shit...
@wings0r completely agree, and I think that parents force their child to play a musical instrument or another (like mathematics) are a small minority. and this practice must be worldwide. No need to be Asian to have crazy or archaic parents!
AND FUCK YOU IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IT AND IF YOU THINK IM STUPID FOR JUDGING THE PROOF IS ALL THERE YOU MORONS, AND ONE OF THE WORLDS LARGEST WEINERS ARE FKIN AZN.

asians aren't that special, its just that they cant really afford luxuries that we take for granted, so they have to think of how to occupy themselves and what to do rather than get a takeaway and sit on the couch watching the TV, getting super obese, and getting the discovery channel to make a doccumentary on how the 56 thousand stone man ate to many burgers and watched to much tele because he couldn't be bothered to do anything else, because he thought...burger...TV...thats an easy choice.....
Jonathanmarvin is partially correct. He's wrong about it being because they can't afford the luxuries, but he's right about how Asians spend more time learning things rather than sitting in front of a television screen.
It has nothing to do with race, it has to do with the culture. Asians place a bigger emphasis on learning and education than western cultures do, which is why countries like South Korea, China, and Japan all have economies that are growing so quickly.
china's economey is growing because that is the only direction it can go, up. Since, techniquilly they are communist which Have amost no market. Besides, all countries do emphisis edication because without it, there couldn;t be a country. It is just culture and how people behave. In america, it isnt out of the norm to be fat.
Asians not only play piano better, but they make animated movies, graphic novels, computers, cell phones, cars, buildings, sweets, and a whole lot of other things better. I'd say that your jealous indeed. They even have better (and cheaper btw) internet.
l'm Asian myself, but i don't believe Asians are superior (nor are they inferior). It's just that the west is probably getting complacent. Asians are catching up, and scaring the bejeezus outta them ;) And i say, go for it.
It is not necessarily true. You can not seperate left hand and right hand. They are completely mixed. What you are saying sounds like anyone can make recording and sell just because of the technology. Live performance has more noise. Studio recording give you perfect clean sound. I like studio recording much more than live recording.
The left hand is called the bass, the right one is the treble. Usually throughout classical music, to show emotion, volume does shift from treble to bass
wth. my mom said if i master this, she'll give me me 50 bucks and i wus like SWEET and i just looked it up to see wut it sounded like..... I CANT DO THAT!
ive learnt the notes, and im trying to perfect it now. the perfecting is the hardest part, its so hard to get all the notes timed perfectly. I hope someday to be able to play this song almost half as good as yundi plays it...
Hm..how would this compare to Prokofiev's Toccata in terms of difficulty?...I know the technique is a lot different. However, I can play the Fantaisie Impromptu with no trouble, but the Toccata is giving me a ton of trouble...
There's another Chopin piece played by Yundi Li that was enthralling so. I am not a piano player but I have a book on Chopin's impromptus. And I hope to play Raindrop before I die.
sixtuplets countering 16th notes.. good thing the WHOLE piece is like this.. they say Chopin didnt like this composition he created.. yea your hands will hurt ESPECIALLY on the octave round really tuff practice some Mozart first.. lol.. then maybe this will be easy.. u gotta loosen those wrists and fingers!.
This is an extremely difficult piece both technically and melodically. Idk if I'll ever be able to learn this one, but it's such an amazing and beautiful song. Chopin is one of my favorite classical composers.
then general population encompasses all "classical" music together including the classical period; the romantic period is classical music. think before you castrate someone
then it should be classical music composer. because classical composer implies that the composer wrote the piece during the classical period. And castrate isn't really the best word choice because it means to remove the private area of someone/thing, which i do not intend to do. and if you mean castigate, then it is a bad word choice because i am not reprimanding or criticizing him severely.
the point i was trying to make is that you really didn't have reason to correct them, if they had said composer from the classical period that would be one thing. i also know the definition of castrate, and also, unlike you, know that it has more than one definition. if anything i may have been too harsh on you by using that word, which is pretty much the same thing you did, and for that i apologize
if there is an alternate definition of castrate that is not considered obsolete, I would like to know because in various trustworthy dictionaries, they say the similar thing: either the removal of parts or to deprive of strength, spirit, power, or efficiency, definitions that makes no sense in the way you used it.
You have to have the education level of an average highschool adolescent if you're depending on the "dictionary says" argument. The dictionary is simply a survey of the most generally used definitions of a specific word, hence the multiple definitions available for a certain word. In this case, castrate DOES apply using your second def. " to deprive" you are depriving someone of their dignity/pride/"rightness" and correcting them with an implied tone of self-appointed superiority.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The definition of "castrate" is easily manipulated to mean the non-literal "to remove one's manhood" which then translates to "to humiliate". The only way a word can possibly be used incorrectly is if they cannot be translated in a way that allows it to be related in the way that it's supposed to. THAT is high-level english/language usage. "Dictionary says" is a weak and intelligence-lacking argument taking the form of "you are using this word incorrectly".
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What is the definition of faggot or fag? Do you really think it started off as another term for homosexual? faggot meant a bundle of sticks and fag meant a cigarette. How then did these definitions arise? Because they were in the dictionary? How did people suddenly acknowledge that fag/faggot were derogatory terms for homosexual males? If you can't even use the SLIGHTEST bit of your intellect to understand the multiple non-dictionary based uses of a word then you ARE stupid and SHOULD apologize.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
then i apologize for giving others more information.
and yes people should start to watch what they say. Many people these days can convey their thoughts using half the words that they use. And many don't mean what they say.
everytime i sit down to learn this, it kills me hands. it is taking me a while to get my fingers used to playing that sucession of notes at the beginning. its all about practice, and control.
wow hes playin it just at the right speed to sound perfect! any faster it wud hav sounded a little rushed any slower & it wudnt sound right, hes amazing!!
Sorry, I just want to add that, don't forget he's playing in front of judges so the pressure was really on, and he STILL played this better than anyone I can remember. That speaks volumes about his genius. I would have fallen off the bench! lol lol
I agree that this is the best version on YouTube. He played this to perfection. Musically, technically, emotionally, everything was stunning. This might even be the best I've EVER heard of this piece. Sounds better than the CD's I have. He is AMAZING!
Playing fast is quite good, but he does so much more ! The contrasts and the wonderful interpretation of the themes are fabulous ! (Sorry I'm French ^^')
your interpretetion is fantastic and beautiful

if there is an alternate definition of castrate that is not considered obsolete, I would like to know because in various trustworthy dictionaries, they say the similar thing: either the removal of parts or to deprive of strength, spirit, power, or efficiency, definitions that makes no sense in the way you used it.

You have to have the education level of an average highschool adolescent if you're depending on the "dictionary says" argument. The dictionary is simply a survey of the most generally used definitions of a specific word, hence the multiple definitions available for a certain word. In this case, castrate DOES apply using your second def. " to deprive" you are depriving someone of their dignity/pride/"rightness" and correcting them with an implied tone of self-appointed superiority.

The definition of "castrate" is easily manipulated to mean the non-literal "to remove one's manhood" which then translates to "to humiliate". The only way a word can possibly be used incorrectly is if they cannot be translated in a way that allows it to be related in the way that it's supposed to. THAT is high-level english/language usage. "Dictionary says" is a weak and intelligence-lacking argument taking the form of "you are using this word incorrectly".

What is the definition of faggot or fag? Do you really think it started off as another term for homosexual? faggot meant a bundle of sticks and fag meant a cigarette. How then did these definitions arise? Because they were in the dictionary? How did people suddenly acknowledge that fag/faggot were derogatory terms for homosexual males? If you can't even use the SLIGHTEST bit of your intellect to understand the multiple non-dictionary based uses of a word then you ARE stupid and SHOULD apologize.

then i apologize for giving others more information.
and yes people should start to watch what they say. Many people these days can convey their thoughts using half the words that they use. And many don't mean what they say.

in a good way though. he's getting lost within his music which makes him the good player that he is.

Amazing. His technique and expertise is clearly visible.

Sorry, I just want to add that, don't forget he's playing in front of judges so the pressure was really on, and he STILL played this better than anyone I can remember. That speaks volumes about his genius. I would have fallen off the bench! lol lol
; )

I agree that this is the best version on YouTube. He played this to perfection. Musically, technically, emotionally, everything was stunning. This might even be the best I've EVER heard of this piece. Sounds better than the CD's I have. He is AMAZING!
5 stars & favored...
