Chopin with András Schiff (1 of 6)

[andersoncouncilpf]

Schiff is a very good pianist who's terrible at documentaries. Not good.

Chopin is the most amazing Pionist ever he will be remembered always as the poet of the piano his works are remembered even today by many people around the world if only we all had the chance to say thank to him for giveing us the gift of his works and showing us there are no limitations of the human soul and the wonders much like his work can bring to the world.

Chopin is the absolute greatest!!

[SepiaLatimanus]

This should be called "Chop with Schiff"

[todaparte]

Wich Is my favority music? Is Fantasie-impromptu, n. 4 op. 66 played Maurizio Pollini

[stefannestoroski]

Does anybody know where I can find a Documentary about LIszt? or about other romanticism composers in music ? Thanks a lot!!!

[sonnenblumenkind1]

a pleyel piano!! I wish I had one!

[dalecampbl5]

about 70% into the video Schiff says it used to be forbidden to use the thumbs on the black keys...how the fuck do you play without using your thumbs on the black keys...did mozart or beethoven encounter those problems? i found that incredible...to whoever invested that rule should i hope he rots in hell

[Achtelnote]

you should educate yourself before you blame yourself.schiff is absolutely right.

[dalecampbl5]

you people are idiots, i'm quoting what Schiff said, and I agree with him that its a bewildering statement and Chopin came along and decided to use the Thumbs. which is what we all do today

[callenishss]

so it seems like all beethoven music can be played without thumb on blk keys?

im not familiar with beethoven

only with chopin

[ttt8699]

@dalecampbl5 Haha yeah, how else could you play, for example, and f# octave without your thumb? Ridiculous!

[violincello631]

Frederic Chopin is really one of my favorite composers of all time, and I really love his music very much!

[zaierk]

OMG!!!! I love Music Very much !!!! I don't know what could do with out it !!!

[killingangel707]

no rubato in the opening nocturne, I guess it was appropriate to shorten it.

[animelf]

"There are sentimental elements in Chopin's life but... no element of sentimentality in his music" - say what? only because he said that, I'm not going to watch the rest of it, what an ignorant imbecile, obviously he doesn't understand Chopin, and looks only at the notes, and not at his life. I'm outrageg about his words. Read history man- Chopin's music is mostly about sentiment....sentiment to his homeland which is Poland, and he was "banished" from it (not literally, but you could say that).

[moebius09]

schiff looked only at the notes? well if you had seen the rest of the documentary you would have found that schiff in fact talks about the entirety of chopin's life.

i don't think he meant "sentimentality" in the same vein as you described. in fact in this video he reveals how chopin himself describes his music, ie with the polish word "jal".

[moebius09]

what he meant by "sentimentality" would perhaps be to describe elements contained in the music of the other romantics of chopin's era.

chopin, as we now know, did not consider himself a romantic. he meant for his music to be played with the same purity and the same vein as bach and mozart, who were the only two composers he truly admired.

[Haeronthegreat]

Sentimentality in Romantic music is more 'excess'. Certainly Chopin's music is very emotional, but it is NOT excessive.

[dovle02]

I think he meant that there was no insincere emotions in his music.

[jdbrown371]

Yeah, that's right.  Ooops!

[NodameSpecial]

Wat is the song he is playing in the starting?

[jdbrown371]

Nocturne in E flat major. The third one.

[NodameSpecial]

thx chopin nocturne are sure great =)

[yukyo85]

Nocturne in E-flat.. Op. 9-2

[jmanthirtyseven]

I did not know Chopin only composed music for the piano.

[greyhall1]

Chopin composed a sublime cello sonata.

[jlba3]

with a piano involved

[wnxg4nd4lf]

Chopin is great. His music is adorable! Charming! Inspired!

I also like schiff very much. He reminds me of Gould in many ways. His playing is very clear personal and soulful. When he plays, just like Gould, he is totally absorbed in the music. As a result the quality of his sound is incredible. I luv it =)

[AdamGCox]

But Gould purposely plays most music incorrectly.

[plstrom]

it would only be a miracle if he wasn't the son of two musicians...(6:00)

[ComeLeVent]

I like Schiff, both his voice and his bach. :>

[PhilipWnds]

thank you very much for uploading these videos. I watch them over and over. and thanks to andras schiff who tells us so beautifully about chopin.

[LionheartGFX]

chopin is one of my favoryte composers he was just brilliant

[TysonMS]

Me too, my greatest affinity is to Chopin. I've been scouring Youtube unsuccessfully for a Chopin biography up until this lucky moment.
