  • The greatest piece of all time.

  • 2:58 Best moment.

  • love love love love love this movie!!! never cried so much :(

  • Did someone noticed the little wrong moment at 3:20 ? listen carefuly you'll see

  • @EpiphoneLesPaul1995  nothing perfect can be flawless

  • @EpiphoneLesPaul1995 How even could u notice a wrong moment when this is the most passionfull song ever? I can only enjoy it and just let me come in my sould.

  • @ClaudiaCountess i enjoy the song too don't be scared but i come down to earth at 3:20

    but i was plastered again after that :)

  • @EpiphoneLesPaul1995 Okay... well i cant do anything else only just being on the sky and enjoy it :) I cant push enaugh the replay button...

  • @EpiphoneLesPaul1995 YOU play it then.

  • @EpiphoneLesPaul1995 it doesn't matter if it's wrong, that shows you its played by a human, if someone plays a song just as one version he heard he will never leave a mark that that song was played by him. Just stop looking for mistakes in songs please =)

  • @EpiphoneLesPaul1995 Within the context of the film, the mistakes made are deliberate, emphasizing that Spillman is just a shell of his former self.That and I don't think the piano is properly tuned.

  • he played the best he could, because for all he knew this was his last song

  • dude, thanks!!!

  • amazing scane

  • 6 peoples must be jews

  • @amgd15 you mean nazis?

  • @PianoPlayer1271 no, nazis are not so bad like in movies,because it's just movies no more no less, and not real, I know that there was a holocaust, but not like the movies holocaust, and the six million is just a Hollywood's big lie because zion is the owner there,and I know that this movie especially based on a true story, but still about the Holocaust and if you want to check if this true,you should watch the other movies about the holocaust,like "shindler's list",-->listless

  • talent is universal

  • Thank you!

  • Good work , thanks for the upload !

  • Nezáleží na tom, který národ ubližoval lidem, ale jde o to, co dokáže lidská rasa. Jak dokáže jít proti sobě stejně jako zvířata. Jinak úžasný příběh, člověka, který viděl tolik hrůzy, co si my dnes v 21 století neumíme představit. Krásné...

  • Seriously. Spine chilling moment. This scene has so much passion; It pierced me emotionally and physically. This is brilliant!

  • we can see through his nose !

  • what the .... how can his hands be that flexible while it's sooo cold out there. ... that must hurt.

  • @Only13Special2 indeed impossible. Know it from experience ;).

  • @Only13Special2 People's feelings and will can make them do extraordinary things. The actual Władysław Szpilman himself was motivated to play by his memories of the pain and suffering that he had gone through.

  • just asking out of curiousity - were the two guys together?

  • @RandomCoked Jawohl mein Fuhrer.

  • thanks for the upload :)

  • 6 techno heads!!!

    

  • @34stevo I like techno...and this...

  • @muusicman100 lol, me too, i would not have disliked this video though!!

  • Diario veo este vídeo, porque la Ballade No.1 es mi favorita de Chopin, agradezcan cuando tenga 1 millon de visitas, porque la gran mayoría son mías jajaj

  • @daniel41935 pues te haré competencia porque esta es también una de mis favoritas del gran poeta musical como fue y es chopin.jajajajaja. serán 2 millones.

  • fegelein, bring me fegelein, fegelein! fegelein! fegelein!..... execute fegelein...

  • is he really playing and no fake? i really would like to know this if he is....he is the best piano player ever!!

  • @NJBZX Adrien Brody took piano lessons to make the mimic of playing piano realistic, however Janusz Olejniczak is the one playing in the close up scenes and also performed in the soundtrack.

  • @CarLooSmosh

    Adrien Brody already knew how to play piano before he was cast in the film but he wasn't at the level of a concert pianist. He practiced diligently so he could play at least part of the piece, so it's not like he was faking it. Janusz Olejniczak played the more difficult parts so those are his hands in the close ups, but Brody was playing for real in some shots.

  • @HindsightPOV yep, you're right. I made the mistake of not putting that Brody already knew how to play.

  • @CarLooSmosh

    No problemo.

  • @HindsightPOV Your facts are appreciated, not that it matters much.

    Adrien Brody DESERVED that Academy Award he got. Whether he played fluently or not was hardly the issue - the portrayal of Władysław Szpilman was superb! ;-)

  • @JediMasterCheryl

    Yes, it was Brody's performance as Szpilman that was the focus of the film, not whether Brody played the whole piece for real or not. But it should be said the parts you do see Brody playing is trickier to play than it appears/sounds. I learned to play this piece because of this scene and I was surprised the beginning part wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. Chopin's pieces are very tricky, even parts that look simple when looking at the music sheet.

  • Its doesnt matter how many times i have listened to it, still shake out the cold. Its the 1 of the beautiest song ever in the world. Its give some soul to the universe. Thank you sweet Chopin for catching my soul <3

  • Comment removed

  • Play for your life

  • Amazing!!

    

  • amazing, takes you to a different place.

  • This is the best part in the whole movie.......thanks for posting this:)

  • i feel like crying because the way he played this peice shows how much he loves music and it shows all his raw emotions. I also liked the peice the german general played, before Moonlight sonata by beethoven check that out too. but i really did feel like crying, in a good way.

  • if only the like thumb could permit me to click on it more than one time!!!

  • thank you for that

  • @ 3:35 the officer face is like "MAYNE!!!!!"

  • I was dreaming with this song.. i think the world's most passionate song.. its give me pain, desire and makes me wanna love.

  • thanks for upload.

  • This scene is deeply unsettling on many levels. But it reveals an important truth. Even a person who is acting in a fascist framework can be reached through the raw power of passionate music. How the soldier's face had changed by the end of the piece. The pianist's bearing had changed as well. The music was a great leveler in the power relationship between the two men.

  • 5 people must be nazis

    

  • @james42681 6 today. Idiots!

  • Comment removed

  • @james42681 Including Chopin who did not like Jews and is the person who wrote the music played in this video.

  • @james42681 make that 6.. people are stupid

  • @james42681 6, eichmann, mengale, hitler, the butcher, the angel of death

  • @MrCanadianplayer and hitler youth commander

  • @james42681 what an intelligent comment! the story is about this man, who s life is being saved by a nazi, only because he likes szpilman play the piano

  • @james42681 the nazi liked the music and helped the jew...

  • @james42681 As you can see though, even the Nazis liked it  =P

  • 0:21

  • too bad it's only a shortened version

  • how moved is wilm hosenfeld on this

  • thanks for upload :)

  • Thank you very much for uploading It.

  • this was a great movie and had beautiful music

  • this is how passionate musician performs in the verge of death

  • it is the best quality, but the key is off by a semitone.

  • @talisle it's supposed to be like that, cause a piano that would sit there for 3 or so years during WWII wouldn't be perfectly tuned...

  • @itsaboyproduction i beg to differ. the keys of the piano wouldn't have perfectly all been a semitone off. i've watched the real thing on tv, and that was in the original key of g minor. somehow during the process the whole video went a semitone down- the starting note is a b here.

  • @talisle Well put.

  • He's been holding it in for 3 years, and lets it all out in his playing

    The way his breath shows in the moonlight at 3:25 as he's playing faster gives me shivers

  • excellent quality to this upload! Thank you - great performance and film. In driving long distances by car years ago - i used to play this Ballade over and over to avoid fatigue. With Horowitz - 15 times in a row - no problem.... ha ha.

  • GREAT MUSIC and GREAT PERFORMANCE

  • Adrien Brody was so perfect for this part! I admire him for what he did to really get into this role.

  • NO!!! it's missing pieces, still nice though

  • The way the piano is out-of-tune totally makes this scene and gives me the utmost chilliest of chills.

  • Ohhhhhhh i get it now, @ the 5 people who disliked it, you must first turn on your speakers.

  • My favourite movie & one of my favourite Chopin's composition!!!!!

  • awesome quality btw

  • Such a beutifull..

  • unbelievably passionate

  • Seriously, the snowflakes just make the video. Even though it's inside.

  • beautifull, it's incomplete though...

  • it is good to know that even in an extremely evil organization (nazism ) there still are good men.

  • favorite part is presto con fuoco, sends shivers down my spine

  • @nosojdjos Sure is, I've never heard better version.

  • @Cerpth well, I rather like Horowitz's version.

  • It is very interesting - my father had identical situation with Wehrmacht officer with the difference that he was a painter and fortunatelly German officer survived

  • Best ac.

  • FUCK ! beatiful moment and quality

  • 3 people are true nazis

  • @cubanpimp13 even nazis would like this video.. 3 people are retarded / saw the video muted

  • from 3:30 on is surprisingly exciting shakes my soul.

  • thanks.

  • thanks.

  • Captain Wilm Hosenfeld. a man among devils.

  • Finally, an HQ upload of this. Thank you!

  • The man might be a rapist, but he knows how to make a good movie.

  • thank u so much for uploading this!!

  • JUST GREAT !!

    THANK YOU FOR THE UPLOAD...

  • Best film!Awesomeeee

  • se ve muy bonito el video... que linda melodia....me quita el aliento

  • It's not a random piece he played. Chopin composed this piece inspired by a patriotic narrative poem, Konrad Wallenrod by Adam Mickiewicz, in which Wallenrode is portrayed as a Lithuanian who deliberately leads the Knights into defeat. Mickiewicz wrote it in protest against the late-18th-century partitioning of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, and Austria.

    Was unsterblich im Gesang soll leben, muss im Leben untergehen. F. Schiller

  • @carp3nt3r Not only that! Chopin composed the Ballade ~1830 as the Russians once again reigned Poland.

  • @TheKoenna1 Poland lost its independence after the third partition of Poland on October 24, 1795. This was the first time Poland was under the Russian (and in part others) rule. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "once again"?

  • @carp3nt3r Your point is good, and perhaps explain the choice of Polansky in put this piece in this part of the film - not to mention the great dramaticity that the piece brings to the scene. But Szpilman actually played the Noturne n10, as he wrote in his bibliography.

    Notwithstanding, its really a great part of the film. Brody really seems to be playing, the edition its fantastic, and is quite impossible to stay untouched.

  • THANK YOU FOR POSTIN!

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you so much. This movie is a masterpiece.

  • J'ai fini de regarder ce film aujourd'hui en classe d'Histoire. Je ne sais quoi dire.

  • @kthinz37 I'm sorry to say but there is an intereference to the sound. Don't know what, but it definitely ain't like this in the movie

  • one of my favorite movies :) since i was about 10

  • I work in the mental health field. 25% of homeless have mental illness, and if you add those with addiction problems, it can go up to 70%-75%. But there not good enough for you to help I suppose? I guess we know what you would have done with The Pianist...put a bullet in his head.

  • Beautiful .. Wonderfull and amazing

  • It seems that the person being portrayed in the movie, though a great pianist, did not have perfect pitch, because for anyone with perfect pitch, this would be impossible. Ballade in Gb minor...

  • The people don't understand life, passion, and art

  • @yjadalyn1 It reminds me so much of John Lennon's quote: "“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

  • All I can say is thank You. Thank You for this wonderful scene in a such great quality. Im here watching this nearly every day, raping the replay buttom all the time.

  • I like this scene in this movie

  • Love this scene, though that he would be able to play that flawlessly, starving, in freezing cold weather (which stiffens your fingers) after not having played for over two years, is unlikely.

  • thanks for uploading this in High quality, =)

  • perfect...

  • what's so funny though, is that each key on the piano is exactly -that- much out of tune.

  • hay 3 personas sordas!!

  • Comment removed

  • I didn't know that Adrien Brody can play the piano!

    But does someone know, if he's really playing the ending song of "The Pianist"?

  • @xXEisteeholikerXx This Ballade of Chopin from movie "The Pianist" is played by Michiel Roosen on a Yamaha grand piano C3.

  • @camila2309 Thank you very much! (:

  • @xXEisteeholikerXx Nope, Adrian just learned some basic Piano and easier Stuff, the hard and fast things are played by a Polish or Czesh Pianist i do not remember, but u can read it during the credits if u listened to the whole ending song.

    Didnt u notice they just show adrian on slow parts? on the fast things its just his hands, he did an amazing acting job though!

  • great quality!thanks!

  • Greatest music piece.

  • thank you so much for uploading this in such good quality!

  • The best song from the Pianist.

  • ¿alguien me puede decir si lo que brotaba de su cabeza era un sudor o una lagrima?en el 2:27

  • yep, the piano must sound out of tune... is like a tremolo, i like...

  • i just realized how cold nazi's breath is...xD

  • Amazing scene and amazing music... <3 I love this movie! Thank you sooo much for the upload and the excellent quallity! : )

  • wait !! this militar is oskar schindler???

  • @Frxxex 

    You are joking, right? ...right?

  • @vatoloco56 hahaha yes i'm joking with both movies...

  • @vatoloco56 :''''''''DDDDDDDDDDD OMG.....i think so...i was laughing so much at this :DDDDD

  • my grandfather was german and he was like wilm hosenfeld. i wish i knew him but he died during the 2ww....

  • I can play that exactly the same with my eyes closed an only using one finger on one hand.

  • @Bob8199 Except your playing your "Organ".

  • What moral fiber this Hosenfeld must have had, keeping in mind that if anyone caught him, it was most likely "Kaput" not only for him and his family (he had 5 children). We see this and think we would have done the same, but how many bums do we past everyday in our lives and do nothing. Taking this in mind only makes his actions more remarkable. Most of us watching would have most likely turned him in to protect our own interest. Think about this when you see someone in need, please.

  • @5inthehole wow dude, I agree you, danke, greetins :)

  • @5inthehole I'm so with what you say !

  • @5inthehole i think the saddest part in this is that, that man who helped him, ended up dying in a concentration camp...he never got to help hosenfeld, never had a chance to repay his "debt" to the man who saved his life, fed, and clothed him. :( i actually cried when i read that

  • @5inthehole except bums and beggars on the streets are most likely there because they're lazy ass mofos... In some places it's a very profitable business and a lot of nasty crime is connected to it that people don't know of and all they see is those beggars and out of pity they give them money. I know there are places where people are really poor and there's pretty much nothing they can do, but at least in the US and Canada anyone can get a job if he wants to.

  • @MaximPodolsky You unfortunately sound like the Nazi's who tried to convince the population that the Jewish people where "life, unworthy of life". So all bums are lazy? How about those who have fallen on hard times in economy that's squeezing out the middle class? Where the rich get richer and the poor are considered "Lazy"? How about the sick & mentally ill who are discharged to a street corner? This holiday season, go do some charity work: it may be illuminating!

  • @5inthehole I said most likely, and most of the time it IS the truth. As for comparing me to the Nazis, just because we're commenting under a clip from a movie about Nazis doesn't make it right and apart from that, there's no connection, regardless of how hard you would want to find one. I know for a fact that anyone who really wants a job can get it in the city I live in. People I see on the streets look healthy and capable of working.

  • @5inthehole as for charity... I give some money now and then to the people who play music in the subway. But they're not beggars, they at least deserve to get paid, not much, as their playing is pretty bad most of the time. You know what I saw recently? A guy came to me in a parking lot, wearing clothing that was surely more expensive than what I myself was wearing, he looked very healthy, and he shows me this note saying how he needs money for his brothers or smth. Bullshit.

  • @5inthehole comparing Szpilman to a bum is a little inappropriate,don't you think? what hosenfold did was amazing,but no matter what he did in that moment,it didn't erase all the sins he committed as a nazi,only people like sheindler can be considered true heroes

  • @rmifaabsbb To put it simply, you do not understand the point trying to be made. My comment was not to compare and contrast the two, only that both were/are in great need. Any other comparison is created in your own mind, not mind....which I'm sorry to hear.

  • @5inthehole bums are lazy uneducated people,i don't like them at all.if you call them unlucky,i'll give an example,my dad lost everything he had 6 times,first time was because of war,other because of the traces of war,he didn't become a bum,he just earned all that money again 6 fucking times,now that's what a hardworking person does,bums are just lazy idiots and don't deserve to be helped in my opinion

  • @rmifaabsbb Unfortunately, not all people are as fortunate as your father. Many street people/"bums" are those who suffer from mental illness who previously could manage in society. Others are those fighting addiction problems.Some are Vets with Post tramatic stress. Not allll are "lazy" or worthless, as you would have us believe. Either way, you missed the point as expressed in my inicial posting.

  • @5inthehole there is a big difference between bums and sick people

  • @CtlBrandon i mean seriously, no one notices this video is out of tune? If you don't have ears for music, get a tuner. Play the dvd or other video of this scene u donkey!

  • At 1:06 the general is like " OK I think he can really play this one " but before 1:06 he's hesitating, wondering if Wladyslaw is really gonna play the whole song

  • Thank you... Wonderful story, wonderful biography

  • i cried with this scene, music bring peace and respect even in the middle of such a big conflict like this

  • @kastiyana Janusz Olejniczak

  • @hueondemierda Thanks
