Frédéric Chopin: Polonaise in C-sharp minor, No. 2 from "Two Polonaises", Op. 26

[honeycheerios95]

It's a Romantic piece, for a solo performer. It's also a very emotional piece, so the performer can play it how he interprets it. I'm sure it's lovely however, as long as the performer knows what he's doing and this guy clearly does.

and yea, all you hater stfu. People are so funny. Talentless people are quick to criticize it seems. Dont hate, APPRECIATE! God damn I love this performance. I was becoming bored with this piece, now I cant wait to get home and play it. Im inspired now

[JohnnyFlannigan81]

Im putting the final touches on this piece and I tell you...THIS is the video I wanted to see. Others are freaking boring. Im using this video for musical inspiration on this piece. This piece is easy by the way.....for Chopin anyways

[Chewyone007]

His hair makes the music more awesome.....

[persephoneserenity]

Totally agree,but this is polonaise 1 opus 26...not 2...He is playing it as he damn well pleases & bravo to him ! Beautiful tone & a fun lightness to a very heavy piece of music !

i wish someone would do Bela Bartok, "From the Diary of a Fly"....

[AKhajavi]

This is a polonaise No.1 Op,26, not No.2

Please, change it.

[AKhajavi]

[cellomusicdunce]

Love this. Great stage performance, definitely got the feeling of the Romanitics.

[alfaiate99]

Wow..Nietzsche playing piano!

[ErikDRed1]

I think he's fully aware of the tempo.I thinks he's playing it the way he damn well pleases,and when your that good you can play it however you want.If I were that good I would get shit-faced drunk,get naked and play this as slow as possible just to piss you guys off.Who cares if he played it too fast,too slow,or missed a note or whatever,sounds great to me.All of you guys that get on here and leave these negative comments are making yourselves look like idiots.Especially Jovanici.Nice videos.

@ErikDRed1 word

[Elsenrail29]

@ErikDRed1 Listen grand master Horowitz playing this piece and think AGAIN to accuse people who find this version fast. You CAN adjust the tempo of a piece but ONLY to a certain extent. You cannot 200% increase the tempo of a piece...

[likemyviolin]

Thanks God, not another boring performance of this beautiful piece. He plays beautifully, so musical.

[awesomefantastical]

Mesmerizing.

[Jovanici]

hes so fast!!!! wtf??? its called look at the tempo. i played this and the tempo is quarter note= 96-108!!! hes way too fast

[AKhajavi]

Yes This is the Polonaise No1 Op.26 in C sharp minor. He dose not keep the tempo even

[thefettman2]

@AKhajavi clasical music isnt for keeping tempo, its for messing around with it to make it sound exciting when u get faster or calmer and more melancholy when u go slower, if ur good enough thats what u shud b doing not keeping exactly the time unless its from the baroque period or its a song with lyrics

[cspringles]

@thefettman2 I totally agree with you. That's exactly why there are conductors during a symphony. He's the one making the calls on how fast and slow the work will go. It's all interpretation and aesthetics as well.

[pincuska]

i played this :) love it so much .

[stume618]

This is number 1 of opus 26, not number 2

[pincuska]

yupp.exactly.

[colsen109]

After hearing you not hit the e at the top of that gigantic arpeggio, I don't feel so bad for making the same mistake.

Brilliant. :D

[606darius606]
