  • super

  • May I ask how you learned this?

  • Well, I just wanted to say that in the beginning of the song, make sure that you are making your right hand quicker! Also, you need DYNAMICS!!!!

  • Very good, idk why you have so many dislikes, maybe it's the ponytail haha!

  • It's without emotions! A Chopin needn't be fast but must be full of emotion!

  • Handsome or what? :D

  • dude, the left hand, is supposed to be played more deadly, and i think you need to work on this piece, youre dismissing rythm, but anyway, im still trying to perform this song, so i like how you played it =P

  • u are playing it without dynamics!

  • Was the person filming this trying to film this for a movie? Lmao...

  • whats wrong with the pedal

  • Bravo!

  • Very expressive!

  • it shows it took one week you need more practice and more ears.

  • Would really like to hear you play this piece now and on a better piano. Should you do so, please send me a note. (Betcha you got it down pat by now!)

  • ahhhh your left hand is killing me!!!! What happened to strong, weak, weak? There is much more that could be done with your performance of this song. Keep working on it. :)

  • Love the tempo you use, although maybe in some parts you may slow it down, but I think you sped it up on the right places.

    Good job!

  • Great video! Man, a tripod would have been nice for this one.. that camera moving around through the entire piece isn't very conducive to watching classical piano playing!

  • Hey dude, how long are you playing piano? :DD

  • i'm learning it too hahah but i don't really practise

    i'm too lazy

    oh btw well played :)

  • Epic.

  • awesome! well done!!

  • very good playing..tune your piano...work on your pedal work.,your fingering,and you have some notes that were wrong haha but still sounded good...keep up the work..love to hear people play. gettin back in to it myself so will have some videos in a few months or so

  • Beautiful, my favorite piece! But, is it the piano or me, because I think your fingers are keeping on the keys too long, I think the piano is tuned out. But it's abolutley great. And thanks for slowing it down, now I can copy how you did that! Great! It isn't as best as what cubusdk had played but it's good. And you were starting to fgo a bit fast later wards. Anyways, it's great!

  • I love this song!

    Chopin is one of my favorite composers...

    You really love to play the piano...:)

    you play so beautifully :)

    loved it:)!

  • amazing harmony... love this composition :) performed really well :) appreciate those slow-downs =]

  • someone pst a link to download this piece of music plz!!!

  • could be better..... also ANNOYING hair!!! -.-

  • I've seen a lot more kids do better than this... but still pretty nice

  • could improve, but well done nonetheless

  • Not terrible, counting wasn't good but a fucking rat tail dude? Seriously?

  • molto bella l'esecuzione, forse un po' emozionato..., comunque complimenti vivissimi

  • good job, I like the B section without pedal.

  • way to fast at the beginning dude..

  • YOUR HAİR ANNOYİNG ME CUT THEM

  • LMFAO

  • You're talented and beautiful, keep on playing man!!

  • sorry, but you don't play it too well. It's not the style the chopin wanted it. your left hand plays the chord too heavily, and on the runs, dont play it that slow the whole time. your ending was the worst!

  • There's missing something for me-Emotion!

  • Amazing!

  • A parte qualche errorino, la migliore interpretazione che abbia mai sentito.. Ovviamente è una questione di gusti..

    A 1:53 mi sono venuti i brividi

    5/5!

  • Amazing job! Everbody plays this piece way too fast. I like how you didn't go TOO fast. I'm starting to play this piece and am very excited becuase it sounds so beautiful. Love it!

  • absolutely gorgeous!

    Never exepected that, it's hard to find someone playing this correctly and even in concert, pianists are too arrogant and don't play it good.

    Really, it was almost 20/20!

    GOOD JOB!!!

  • hi i'm an italian girl of the 1996...this piece is wonderful and I study it, too...CONGRATULATIONS!

  • there is a piece of hair on your neck

  • beautiful i wish i could play like that, you own a great gift

  • i think i know you man :) do you know mr.rodriguez a spanish teacher here in stockholm sweden in a english school?

  • You need to be softer.This don't sound like Chopin to me.

    Just my opinion.I'm playing this piece right now in a music high school.

  • Awesome omm omm !!

  • Bravo! Although there are some problems, I like you approach to playing. It's promising.

  • I think its awesome!

  • is your rythm wrong? sorry if i'm wrong i just learn this piece........newbie here

  • very well played, I am learning it now.how long did it take you to learn it ?

  • i think it took me about a week :O

  • @DoctorGradus how long did you play each day?!

  • @DoctorGradus Actually the Opus 64 No. 2 is dedicated to Mme. la Comtesse Delphine Potock.

    The Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52 was composed in 1842 in Paris and Nohant, and revised in 1843. The work was dedicated to Baronne C. de Rothschild, wife of Nathaniel de Rothschild

  • @DoctorGradus whatever

  • your very good.

  • it's wrong to use "Finger" technique!!!!!

    study Taubman! study Taubman! all elbow drops! no individual finger movements!!!

  • do u have any video of yourself playing this waltz? if yes, then show me what kind of technique is correct according to yourself

  • no i didnt record it, but search idil biret, she plays correctly

  • Fantástico!!!!

  • Toll gespielt, aber da sieht man den Unterschied zwischen Mr. Technik und Horovitz.

  • love it. :)

  • hey you played some notes wrong but it was good anyway; watch out we have good ears we would realize ;) :D

  • W Polsce nazwisko spolszczone "SZOPEN" piszemy "CHOPIN", a nie "Shopen" ... ;-)

    Wykonanie cudne!!! 5/5

    Pozdrowienia z Polski ;-]

  • I'm learning that song

  • is that a wood chipper in the background?

    sweet playing

  • ouai toi tes un des rares qui le joue avec des sentiments bravo !!

  • nicely done. like it..

  • Shopen was Polish! Poland rules! Thank you for that beautifull

  • Its spelt Chopin you fucking idiot.

  • Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin (born Fryderyk Franciszek Szopen). Szopen was his real name, he changed it to chopin :).

    who's the idiot know?

  • Yes, its easy to use wikipedia. But besides that, its still "Szopen" not "Shopen" So he was still wrong -.-

  • Szopen will be said Shopen in polish. so it was just the name like its pronunciated. he's still not wrong

  • What the hell kinda come back is "wikipedia?" I notice people use that a lot now. So I guess, in order to feel better about yourself or others or win a little dispute over who is ignorant in some form or manner, is to have ths information passed down through blood line? or to have not used the internet and instead go out to a library and waste yoru time looking through isles?  seriosly CAN YOU FUCKING TELL ME CUZ i'M GETTING TIRED sOF REFEADIN GTHAT *a%^($*au& t(*a#$@%u&()*$7PLZplz tell me.

  • calm down Some people pronouce the name Chopin as Shopen, just cuz he couldn't spell it doesn't mean he's a retard you just spelt it the way he heard it. Maybe even in Poland thats how they spell the name.

  • And how do you know it was Shopen before? :S My mistake, but i've never heard it and it just sounds like a mistake lol.

  • and you called me fucking idiot but i forgive you.

    In Poland "SZ" read like "SH" so Szopen is Shopen xD

  • great! this was always my favorite to play

  • that was amazinggg.

    i'm currently trying to play that for my recital.

    :]

  • Finally! Someone who holds the first few notes just as long as they should be held. Lovely job

  • Fantastic.You are really extremely good!

  • hey! i like it!

    a friend of mine has play this waltz in a concert and i think you did play it better than him. i like that ritenuto at the end, very well done. and the use of the pedal at the beggining, i know its pretty hard in this piece, but you did it really well. congrats, man. :)

  • oh and how long have you been playing for? ive played about 9 years

  • ohh my god. im really jealous at how well you played that. ive learned that piece. i can go that fast but it sounds no where near as how well you played it. Great job!!!

  • this was dedicated to the rothschilds? doesn't sound evil enough. it bascially sounds the same as every other chopin song i've heard. nice job though.

  • ..god did i butcher the middle section...hahaha

  • Look at them fingers go!!

    Great!

    I know nothing about classical music. But I do know this piece. Reminds me of my late grandmother, she loved this music.

    My parents had the Rubinstein album. And I played this album over and over. Wonderful music!

    Well done. You brought tears to my eyes meaning your playing touched me.

    5 stars!

  • and this is why i take piano classes!

  • where I can get the sheet music for free?

    Please

    Thanks alot^^

  • this peice is really inspiring, thank you! Is there a chance I can get sheet music for it? if not, does anyone know of a place i can get it without subscriptions?

  • l'auberge espagnol

  • yes! :D

  • padre falta mas expresion, pero con epresion te quedara hermosa tu cancion...

    falta algo... algo... pero esta muy bien

  • Excellent!

    Could you sent me the sheet,please

    I'd like to play

  • 彈的很好嘿

    可以把譜寄給我ㄇ??

    或是告訴我哪裡抓的到這首的譜

    拜託~!

    我好想練

  • yeah,i totally understand lol :P

    yet i have to disagree with "的到這首的譜"

    hahahahahahaha

    can anybody translate this?i would be grateful :P

  • lol i have no idea . ive never understood how you are supposed to interpret that language:P

    anyway ,nice playing :)

  • wow that is so funny translate that! rofl!!! by the way you play very well i love this piece i gotta ask my piano teacher if i can play this

  • "的到這首的譜" means the music sheet of this song, and thats traditional chinese , btw nice playing

  • @DoctorGradus my chinese is bad but he/she seems to be asking for the notes on paper or where he/she can get it.

  • BRAVO DUDE!!!

  • Wow your good! Do you think you could post a video of Waltz in A-flat Major, Op. 64 No. 3? I tried looking for it on youtube but it appears there is no video for it. This surprises me because I hear it was one of Chopin's favorite pieces. It's almost as if no one has ever heard of it.

  • can you teach the first 22 seconds?

  • simfono

  • wraios re.

  • wah... ich spiele auch Chopin, und du bist sehr...Begabt ( ich spresche nicht Deutsch nicht sehr gut) So.... Das ist wunderschon.

  • I suggest more practise. Chopin demands. But not as bad;)

  • Great play, but bad sound, anyway 5*!

  • hey where can i get the music sheets?

  • have you polished this song up? you should record it again without the mistakes

  • FREKING CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! man, you must of had a lot of practise, especially by memorizing this 6 page song!! I'm supposed to play this to, but it's gonna take me a long time to actually play it like you do!

  • its actually only 3 pages because they repet after the middle. its not really that hard of a valse, i learned it in under a month and im going to play it for an upcoming recital

  • You've got guts ... IMHO, it oughta be much better to go public or risk being ridiculed!

  • hey man, very nice! timing and intonation very very good! nice! but you should realu start out much softer so you differ a little you're already at the top volume of the piano when you start. If you achieve that it'll be second to rubinstein or whoever for that matter :)

  • hey, hey, Doctor!

    I've got the not sheet ! I'm coming after you... get ready for a piano battle! :)

    Greetings from cold and rainy Frankfurt!

    ,)

  • a ha....i will be here waiting,bring it on!! :P

    Ihr stürzt nieder, freund?....  Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Wo Chopin's sanfter Flügel weilt.

    hehe :)

    greetings from griechenland

  • Very good. You show that you understand this waltz. However, it needs a bit of polishing. The figuration with the grace notes also needs a bit of work. But all in all, you perform this waltz well.

  • too slow... the original version is faster than this..... but you're getting close.

  • One of my favourite versions of Chopin Waltz ;3

  • nice playing. i really enjoyed listening to it. but do you know where i can find the sheet music for this song? thx

  • uhmmm

    you're tensing up in the middle of the performance. not good!!! if you relax, you're prone to less mistakes and a flowier performance.

    i'm doing this and the polichinelle by rachmoninoff. thanks for the inspiration!

  • i am glad i inspired you to take up those pieces,and good luck with them(especially with Polichinelle). and you are right about my playing.

  • I dig the piece man.

  • the camera's making me dizzy O_o. but nice work though

  • It was good, practice the pedal, especially when you get to the fast part. The fast part is supposed to sound like a river flow...gentle, but fast at the same time. you have to hear all the notes, but sometimes you drown out certain notes which play a very important part to the music. mainly, practice the pedal, because ur playing is good, another thing is to slow down just a little bit and maintain a steady tempo, because i noticed that you were playing a bit faster in the middle.

  • I enjoyed that. A looottt.

    I liked: The way you actually seem to feel the music, and sway along, like you actually enjoy it. Also the speed was to my liking, lots of people play way too fast, I think you did it just right.

    You are probably the first person who took some initiative into slowing down at the end - a nice touch :D

    I just learnt the piece, its hard and you have done a great job =D

  • Nicely played

  • You've just made my day. Thanks for putting this up. :)

  • actually you know on second thought i take take my original comment back.. should'nt have said anything without being versed with the peice or atleast looking over the score. you're right im wrong.. sorry.. settled.. i take back the reply aswell

  • Amazing.

    A few mistakes with the tempo and notes, but otherwise, great.

  • He's not rushing, in fact, he's going slower than the normal speed in which Chopin intended it to be played; sounds like you're the virgin =P

    besides, what's most important is that he truly assesses himself into the piece with emotion, which i can undoubtedly feel.

  • oh..thrill me with your acumen...."in an attempt to sound like a prodigy"?

    this is preposterous,and has never been my intention....maybe you should go on and read my comments on other people's comments before being judgmental....your ears might not be virgin but your brain surely is.

  • acumen? hardly.... you weiner..

    I think you should be practicing

  • other than that, a few minor fixes with the pedaling and youre great. Keep it up

  • Its good, but theres parts like at the end of the pui lento section where you randomly speed up, then slow down again for the eighth notes (they seem slower than the quater notes) and then finally speed up again in the next section

  • You play soo good! my faVorite!

  • meh

  • superbe

  • there is so poetry in this music...so marvelousness! ;) thank you for this minutes of happyness that your offered us! :D

  • Very good interpretation, nice sensitivity

  • nice hair!

  • I know how hard this piece is from experience, so I can understand why you might be frustrated with criticism. But my idea was that you did not use enough expression. But otherwise great!

  • Could be better, but who am I to criticize?

    A generally brilliant performance!

  • Pedal and sometimes left and right hand balance is off, the 3rd section, Ab to F, etc... WHERE"S THE LOVE, Emotions,

    Just add feelings and I'm sure you'll play it better. Speed is slightly too fast...

  • Je ne m'en lasserais jamais. Tu es vraiment trop fort. J'aime trop.

  • depuis combien de temps joues-tu?????????? c'est hallucinant!

  • too much mistakes.... poor performance!

  • eeehm that would be,too "many" mistakes,spiritcrusher ;)

  • great play, ignore the lame guy

  • agreed lmao. Spiritcrusher, like name like personality.

  • c'est vraiment hallucinant comment tu joues bien!!! ça fait au moins 40 fois que je regarde cette vidéo... chaque jour à 7h. c'est programme "Alexander"...lol...j'ai toujours voulu apprendre à faire du piano... malheureusement je n'ai jamais eu l'occasion, et on m'a souvent dit que c'était trop tard à mon âge...

    J'adoooore cette musique, la façon dont tu joues, j'aime tout...

    Est-ce que tu parles le roumain?;;)

  • no,malheureusement je ne parle(s?) pas cette langue.....mais mille merci hehe

  • He or She askes you how long you have played the piano for

  • Oh my, I wish I could play this piece as beautifully as this person...I expect he gives a lot of pleasure to a lot of people!...Thanks so much!...

  • hey,hey, Doctor! :) I like the way you play :)

  • danke! :)

  • bitte :)

  • fumbled a bit at the beginning but it was good

  • you played it well. chopin has written many beautiful pieces.

    I don´t agree with reptkeu, it was awesome sometimes. but you need to keep that feeling in the whole piece.

  • Showing off my ass, you're awful.

  • Hi. anyone have any idea where to get the score for this piece? please tell me! or if u have it pls send me!melisasasa@gmail.comthanks!

  • Feels like an elephant dancing on ice...

  • A bit harsh. I would love to be able to play this. I have heard this played with much less heart. A few wrong notes is good. Shows we're human :)

  • It seems good but it doesn't give any emotion to me. You need to feel Chopin's Soul and you are far from that.

  • maybe you are right...i don't like this recording myself...many wrong notes and some showing off perhaps..

  • very good. How much practice?

  • Beautiful, i wish i could play this

  • Piu mosso means quicken. Very well done.

  • This is my most favourite piano composition ever!! Great!

  • Guys... piu mosso means a little bit more, flowing, so play this section however you want as long as its faster than the stuff before it. and the piece is rubato, which means he can play it whatever speed he wants. but you do need to stop chopping the notes in the left hand in the pie mosso section. hold them for a fraction of a second longer. oh, and by the way, piu lento is a little bit slower, so sloooooow it down. SHOW THE RESTS!!!!!!!! NO PEDALING IN THE RESTS!! GAAA!!!

  • lose the tail bud

  • you need use the pedal switch at each measure . read your music . it`s a wAltz SLOW DOWN . I REPEAT SLOW DOWN . THAT SNOTHER REASON WHY IT SOUNDS SO SKIPY you need to learn how to combine both of those elements at thesame time so that blend . and the piu mosso relax your hands and then your shoulders too , and extend your shoulders out like bird , read yourmusic . `M ONLY THIRTEEN and i can give you alot of tips go to my page o.k .. but you got guts and i like that peace ana
