Chopin -Polonaise in G minor

[thepokemongamer4]

To fast

[olagru1994]

omg! thats pretty bad!

it has nothing to do with a polonaise

[29katb]

way too fast and no dynamics, but good technique

[musiclar25]

Perfect tempo, not too fast at all. Great job!

[Xxmichiru90xX]

it's not to fast, because it's the tempo a polonaise shoult have. You notice the polonaise rhythm at the beginning, its perfect, so the tempo ist perfect

[olagru1994]

it is too fast, polonaise is supposed to be a dance, and you cant dance to what he is playing

[develish16]

has anyone noticed that it somehow sounds like polonaise in g sharp minor in the beginning part

[kadehti]

LITTLE too fast? i thought it was speeded up.

[BigMedley]

Too fast, but beautiful.

[jazari775]

oh man how many of you are playing in the royal conservatory, nerve wracking i have to memorize like 4 songs just for grade 7 and this is going to be one of them.

[jiwonast222]

unbelievable-

[monica84612]

He is too fast....

[Jamesbond1266]

it starts in minor then turns to major so yeah......

[Chopinumbreon]

It's pretty amazing that he wrote at age 7. Because I think it's one of his best polonaises. I love it!

[venerdi11209]

@TheJuiceBoxSaysHi did it in 3rd :D

[ItayROFL]

is that really a minor key?

could swear it's a major.

[yaelypower]

@ItayROFL It makes a modulation in the middle :)

[Gregory98]

Chopin composed this when he was 7 years of age.

[Atrena2000]

its good but a little too fast other that it was great

[G00DF0RYOU]

I agree with @SwimmingPianist99 dude is going too fast. I personally suck at piano and I'm learning this now, but it sounds soooo much better when slowed down. This guy is ruining it by going so fast. D:

[jacob9919]

showpan is how you pronounce it.

[Daryssska]

beautiful, but the polonaise isn't so fast...

within three strokes to put the 4 steps, here it is almost impossible ...

I say this as a dancer with the ten-year experience ...

[dasklavierleben]

dayum. 7 years old. My compositions don't sound this musical and I'm 19.

[Crazy4Converse9497]

No, its pronounced like 'show-pan'

[MrPontiusPilate]

How do you pronounce his name? Is it like 'chopping" meat?

[LocalHost6]

Agree with liennosyarg. It has such joyful melodic lines. allegro ma non troppo - fast but not so.. I'd regret skipping running through them.

[andyrever]

this song so damn simple !

[stampman50]

Chopin wrote this piece at age 7...... Andy, do you think you can ompose anything close to this ?

[liennosyarg]

I don't know about you guys, but I love when this song is done really slowly.

[SwimmingPianist99]

Little too fast. Also make more dynamics. But, it's still pretty good.

[callenishss]

the version i just posted is a bit rushed

[jazari775]

@SwimmingPianist99

in 1817 when they only had and organ they couldnt have dynamics like we can now on our pianos, so if played as written there is only few dynamics in the song in case you didnt know so dont blame that pianist for following the music

[sayyumhayyum]

cant believe chopin composed this when he was seven

[tuanjp09]

who is the pianist?

[bartybum]

read the title. it says "Chopin"

[tuanjp09]

@bartybum I meant the pianist, who is in the video, not the composer. sorry if you're confused.

[iamaudreyandur]

I cannot he wrote this when he was 7. Chopin, like Mozart and Mendelssohn was a child prodigy

[Tripo1iSamson]

@iamaudreyandur You cannot accidentally verb out of sentence.

[mmmarci7]

im learning to play this song currently.

you play it very pretty :)

[rvz77]

hows it going with the song? difficulty level?

[94Eros]

Yes, it's a little too fast. But it's a nice perfomance. Good interpretation.

[shukhov]

i think its played little to fast at the beginning. - those 4 accords describe the time, when people ask s.o. for the dance, - so why would that be fast ? also i never understand, why the second accord is played softer and more silent - it is not marked in the notesheet ?! so why, - on almost all performances on youtube - is it played that way ? .. sound s***. Also it is crucial to play the (soft!) accompaniment in the 5th bar very neat. doesnt happen ...

[94Eros]

The second accords must be played soft. The accent always falls on the first movement, thus the second is more soft.

[JakWho92]

the cords are added a "bow" which means if the bow includes 2 notes, playing the second silent and the first louder.

[curlyfry7527]

is it just me, or is this being played a little too fast at the beginning?

(maybe its just me?)

[CrikeyBeanCo]

not really played like it should be, needs to be softer and more mellow.

[MichalekM91]

I don't agree with you. It sound very pure, and the passage was realy great!

btw it's not a song ;]

[Chopinesque]

I this a song? Really? I thought a song required a singer...

[sodazzpopzzzzfizzzzz]

Chopin was a TRUE GENIUS!

[jenniethefan]

ohooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh i think you messed up 1:34 cuse it sounded like you hit c and bflat at the same time

[MichalekM91]

Hmm... a mistake? or it was on purpose? Just listen- it sounds quite nice :)

If a mistake- even PRO's make mistakes :D

[michal1810]

maybe beautiful

but it's not a polonaise

any Polish music

[e32amgfinatic]

what do you mean by polish music? chopin is one of the most well known pianists

[ClassicMusicOnly]

One? For sure the MOST known composer in today's times. Later only comes Liszt with his amazing technique an others.

[L4DWonton]

Not everyone's a classical fan. Most people barely know who Beethoven or Mozart are.

[ClassicMusicOnly]

And thats the sad part , but I men't around the classic music fans :)

[ClassicMusicOnly]

Its a Polonaise so stick with it.

[michal1810]

I'm Polish

I can hear here beautiful piece but I can't hear polonaise or any Polish dance

Even music written by 7 years child can be difficult in interpretation for the greatest pianists

[jenniethefan]

INSANE!

[Thek213]

I don't know what to say, I'm at a loss for words.

Plain beautiful.

[koubache]

That was breathtaking !

5stars

[MichalekM91]

O and that's pure music;)there was no hand-waving and other weird stuf. You've left the impression to the audience ;) Great job!
