Eduard Lenner plays Chopin - Ballade No.1 in G minor, Op.23

[myzackfair02]

I'm going to play as well as he does !!!! practise makes perfect

[gouloum2222]

quite unique interpretation . this is awesome really .

[bundleHastings]

This man has played this quite differently from many others, much slower at the start, which was heart-wrenching, then much faster than others during the fast sections. He really impressed his personality onto it and made it his own. I think he goes too fast for my liking.

[flicfan416]

Perfect coda. Absolutely breathtaking performance

[Adenoz5]

7 stars.

[88jerome]

[DruMmMeuR]

Wow, awesome!!!!

[jpjoe]

[flubberdubber]

OMG the part at 7:55 is my favorite part :D

[Chidi88]

Fantastic! That was great. I can see you as a great concert pianist in the near future. Keep it up.

[joeyboi87]

hey this sounds really good. How old are you?

[thetimmons]

The Episode in the middle is absolutely stunning. I personally thought his interpretation of the introduction was a bit flighty and over-expressive, though very beautiful. Still... stellar piano playing.

[xGh0stf4c3x]

one of the best piano pieces, very well played!

[meneltar]

TROP BIEN

[RozziUpton]

Je crois que les justes mots sont tres bien...

[puncherdeath]

Tres,tres jolly,tres bon job, qoi que c'est pas à moi de commenter le travaill des autres. Je ne comprends riens dans le technique, pour moi c'est parfait! Grand Merci! Bon continuation! Sincere!

[danlugwid]

Unreal, Amazing!

[bfoolish2006]

I really don't see what everyone is complaining about, this is frankly wonderful.

[ethere4l]

bravo!!

[Miecyslaw]

A fine performance! Heartfelt, sensitive, controlled, well-played. I can see you modelied it after Horowitz. That's fine. You came close. You need------and DESERVE------a MUCH better piano.

I would emphasize the bass in the A-Major section and play at more expansive, broader tempo. It must be GRAND. Your coda was flat out marvellous.

[PianoManSteve]

Nice. The beginning in particular was very beautiful.

[jostajoe]

beautiful! stunning! impressive!

:)

[quatroformaggio]

and as i said i played it so i can comment:P at the alargando hes doing a piu mosso and then he comes to far and has to hold back id suggest him to hold a little back there.

[quatroformaggio]

i hate the people who think they can say something about music while theyre not even musicians themselves like you catmiu. Eduard Lenner is a pro-pianist he has his own interpretation and its very good, you will probably never manage what he's doing here so take lessons yourself and when your better then sir lenner come back to comment him. I play this piece myself im at the piu vivo thats about 5:20.

thank you very much

thank you very much

[catmiu]

well it's the best ballade first student playing i've heard on youtube so far. but some parts I really don't get what you are trying to do. The beginning was pretty good, but it should have a sense of moving forward ... your beginning made me feel like you are going to fall in sleep any second!!!!!! some parts are too deliberate. It would be better if you can just take it easy and let the music take you.

[thisismeplusyou]

@catmiu Please shut up. He is one of the few pianists who actually plays the very beginning at an appropriate tempo.

[NEDM77]

After watching "The Pianist" I fell in love with this piece.

That was a stunning performance.

[EloLita07]

This is so fucking godly... At first i was liek no way... this must be a MIDI...I love how your body and just flows with the piece so well.... How inspiring!!

(=

[superclarenceboi]

What more can i say? Bravo

[xeoxeo]

Absolutely Stunning. I just got the sheet music today from a friend, but there is a smudge on the ink on the first page, it occurs at 00:34/5 in this video... can anyone tell me the notes please?

[superclarenceboi]

d, B flat, e flat in the left hand and b flat in the right hand

[Mousabro]

the ballad at its best. one of the best performances I've heard!

[flubberdubber]

well done. i can also play ballade 1. but a little slower cause im still learning how to play it.

[Arc4173c7]

nicely done.) At the end, 7:00 I like it played little bit slower, but your performance is just thrilling!

[edziomy]

I love this part that begins around 3rd minute. You played it great, but I prefere Zimerman's version :)

[NerDmaN69]

Amo esta pieza, bueno; todo lo que tenga que ver con piano, especialmente Chopin xD

[marty1837]

outstanding!

[gogolflagen]

actually, i find the lack of excessive rubato refreshing; he doesnt burden the piece with too much unnecessary emotion. but then again, thats just my opinion....

[caligirl747]

this is my favorite Chopin piece...you played it remarkably well!!!

[chikititaA]

Toca muy bien, sus manos se mueven muy rápido, to much virtuosity!! =]

[sauskeXnaruto]

WELL DONE

this is my favorite song and u played it beautiful! Thank you!!!

[mynamespat]

WOW

BRAVO!

is edward the one who posted this?

[calbee219]

omg, again.

Eduard Lenner

You're Chopin is Amazing

Although my interpretation is faster, this is such an incredible interpretation.

[dannyzerozerozero]

WOW...I don't play piano, but I wish I could! By watching you, I really need to buy at least a cheap keyboard and start learning. Chopin is the Master! Great JOB!
