Lovely dynamics and passion in your playing. I'm doing this piece for my exams. I quit piano over 10 years ago so it's difficult getting back into it. Video's like yours are so helpful, thanks.
Very pretty, one of my favorite pieces. But I do agree with imthedragonreborn, you could go a little slower, specially at the beginning, it's much more emotional, which is oh so important in this piece. Simple, yet very complicated indeed.
Jeez, you won't believe how much this helps me. I've known this song for a while, but I know the notes...listening to the changing tempos and the WAY you play the notes helps so much, now I'll be able to play it better, hopefully. Great job.
thank you so much. I only play be ear, though I can 'read' sheet music to determine what the chords are. your video confirms for me that this piece can in fact be played/mastered by someone such as I... a novice... since you have allowed me to see it done. And I love this piece. So much of Chopin's work 'sounds' simple; then, one looks at the sheet music... and weeps. thanks again.
Clyfton, I am a new student of about my 24th hour of class in 8 months. I really want to play this song so I decided to just try it on my own an surprise my teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. For the novice like me you are a blessing. I am so inspired and listen to this repeatedly. Any advise for me as I strive to become get better. I am learning on a Yamaha Digital P-95 that I saved up and bought because for the first 4 months I practiced on a toy with only 36 keys.
Ugh I have to play this for a recital in 3 days and its killing me. The first part was easy but that second to last line! I'll just have to give it some intense practice.
i have to say i disagree with catapillarcheese33, if not for playing the same notes the classic peices such as this one would be constantly changed and eventually lost, it is imperative to perfect such peices. however i have to say that you played it gracefully, just remeber that a good ear and emotion are half of the whole.
Dood. Solid. But like... think of your parents being dead or something before playing this piece. It needs to be super frakking somber. You're a great player... but this doesn't captivate me emotionally like the original does. Don't take this as an attack! You did well joven Jedi.
Actually this prelude is pretty simple but not easy at all to learn I learned it last year but there are some move pretty tough you really need to be focus on the melody and you have to know the music ! You can't play it just like that ! This is my favorite prelude with the 6 ! Thanks Chopin!
@clyfton actually im pretty sure they are wrong. its is supposed to be E,E on the left hand then E,G,b,E ..just to clear it up so no one follows the wrong advice. but then again it doesnt make too much of a difference, play it as u like !
The sheet music I have says that the last chord is just a simple E minor. LH: EE and RH: EGBE. So, the last chord that was played is absolutely correct.

I liked it alot. I'm working on an arrangement of this for the guitar. Despite what some called "muddy," I think you captured the longing this piece is to convey; especially at the end.
A bit muddy, but the way you put emotion into this makes you kind of forget about the pedal staying down all the time, but if it isn't, you didn't pick it up enough to get rid of the muddy sound. Could use a bit more swell, as well as push and pull, but very good emotion, keep it up.
You really inspired me to keep working at this piece, clyfton! :)
You've probably been playing the piano for some time, but as a beginner I find it very hard to remember all the (numerous) chord changes in the left hand, especially in the second half of this piece.
How do you find it's easiest to remember what chords to play on the left hand: is it visually (remembering where your fingers are on the keyboard in relation to the white/black keys) or logically (e.g. Am chord, then Dm7 etc)?
for remember the chord changes in the left hand mark the changes with a marker .. :D when you play it for a long time you can play it on your mind i think :D
I really like the way you play it. I think this piece its not hard to read it and fingers are not difficult but it's very hard to play it with sensibility and emotion, to achieve that deep sound...congrats
@0MissElizabeth0 What the fuck is 'the notebook?' I came here expecting it to be played correctly, like Jack in Five Easy Pieces. Thanks to clyfton for exceeding my expectations.
Played this for the recital over the summer.....I swear this piece totally stretched out my hands! I haven't practiced it since...damn, August! ....gonna go refresh myself...
I thought it was beautiful. my in-school piano teacher told me this was too hard for me so I wanted to prove her wrong, now I realize she's right i cant even get past the second line. ive been playing for a year but only have 41 minutes of class time and it gets me nowhere. its really hard and i think im gonna stop trying anyway, I WISH i could play it the way you did
@Diffomega thanks, after i wrote my comment i practiced it at my house and i got like two more lines memorized with two to go, its frustrating though. and you can't learn EVERYTHING about piano by yourslef, sometimes u need a pro's help, but ill keep trying ;)
@cartergirl3of3 It indeed is frustrating, specially for me since...it's not that I'm not patient, it's just that I am too ansious and it makes me look impatient. But funnily enough, music is the only thing that I have all the patience in the world for.
Also, there are somethings that I recgonize that I will need a pro's help >_>
@IluvDallyWinston It's for a noble reason, don't let her stop you, know this, you can play whatever you want to play. Don't let people put limits to you. Music is not supost to work that way.
@Diffomega I'll keep that in mind:) The only problems I had were with note values and all that stuff...my piano teacher is great and all, but you just made me realize that she wants the piece...perfection. My mom....she adores how I play the piano, no matter how atrocious it may be. It's always good to have somebody there who loves everything you do (:
really good, but despite the comments saying you need to sharpen up etc etc, I think it was brillant. just add some more texture and don't rush it, put your own twist on it and there you go, a very well performed take on the Chopin classic!
Another of my favourite Preludes of Chopin. What make is your piano? I wonder if you have learned and play no 20? I have uploaded a sound file of myself playing that. It is my first upload. Thanks again for sharing your talent.
i think it's really fine. i'm not a pro but i think you should play it more expressively and change a little the way you play this decisive moments to make it sound more like chopin :)
It wasn't too fast. I just started working on this piece and your interpretation really helped me get a better feeling of how it flows - especially towards the end. Thank you for sharing this :)
Seriously, you play beautifully. Regardless of some asshole who wants to critique your playing cause you "played something wrong" I didn't hear anything. The fact that you can play with so much emotion makes you a talented piano player. It's not the notes that make a piece sound beautiful it's the pianist. I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and I've fallen in love with the way you play. Please, for my insanity, keep making more videos :)
@CaterpillarCHEESE33 I agree with you, but many users in YouTube use comments to share their opinion. This is a wonderful prelude, maybe the best I ever heard, but I have to say my opinion: I didn't see so much emotion, so I give clyfton an advice: if I were you, I would play this prelude very, very slowly :)
fantastic. im just starting to learn the piano and this seems a long way off! what a great piece of music imbued with heart and feeling.to me it speaks of someone suffering a great loss..death of a loved one or child.
i love this song, and i know how to play it, the problem is i dont play it correctly and give it the "feelings" u give when u play it. mine is like rough. hope i can improve it by imitating your play style
Actually in all the written versions that I have of this, it is a G, not an F#. The notation might slightly change depending on what the copy your playing from. (My RCM book version is a bit different from an other old book I have)
@Willowheart4321 I have three old, large books all with this in it and they all say F#, so whaddya know. It sounds much better with an F# in my opinion anyway. You should try it.
Thank you so much for making a video of this! I'm currently learning how to play it and am having some issues with the rhythm in the right hand part, and how it matches up with the left.. this video really helped!
i hate when people cares a lot about technique... if you can play the piano with your OWN techinque and your own style that's great, everybody can play the piano with their personal taste period.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you should work on your hand position more. the reason you have a hard time finding the notes is because of your hand position. if you lowered your wrist and curved your fingers you would be able to reach the chords a lot easier.
@clyfton oh well maybe you don't, but it is still a good tip to remember i think. i have small hands for an adult so this was a struggle for me but i managed to do it if i lowered my wrist a lot. good luck in future .
this is wonderful. Leeny11 is a douche. I can say that, confidently, with the knowledge that their account is now closed... probably due to their being so much of a douche.
It didn't appear as though you had a hard tim finding anything. You played beautifully. It's amazing how you've learned your craft so well, yet there are people who must find fault in everything. Hand positioning my ass. Keep up the beautiful playing.
Only thing i can really say is from 1:25 - 1:39 is faster that it should be, i admit i play it faster like the way you to it only because i think it fits better, but can't really argue with Chopin, other than that very good :)
thank you so much for posting this! usually i teach myself songs by listening to my ipod and this was going to be so hard! It really helped to have the visual! Cheers! :D
Not too fast, not too slow, and I nice touch of rubato in most of the right places. I like the hesitation at 1:18...just enough to make you stop and think. Just lovely. The turn was executed with particular care. Just a nice rendition.
Why do so many people make a big deal of how a person plays a piece. Unless specified, play it the way that suits you! For example, I have small hands but I'm a very musical person! So I have to find tricks to reach those notes :P
@burtv1610 its because there are certain ways a composer meant for pieces to be played and it is true that its hard to decide was IS right because we dont exactly know some of the great composers intentions for certain things to be played. In the old days they didnt even write phrase marks or anything because there just widely excepted ways on how to play things.
Lovely dynamics and passion in your playing. I'm doing this piece for my exams. I quit piano over 10 years ago so it's difficult getting back into it. Video's like yours are so helpful, thanks.

Thank you so much for making a video of this! I'm currently learning how to play it and am having some issues with the rhythm in the right hand part, and how it matches up with the left.. this video really helped!

Wonderful! I really doubted I'd find anything on this piece. After learning Moonlight Sonata, this was the next one I really wanted to play.
Great work!

i hate when people cares a lot about technique... if you can play the piano with your OWN techinque and your own style that's great, everybody can play the piano with their personal taste period.

i thought hand position was beautiful
i loved the overview camera shot
it was also nice to see you rest your hands until the notes completely faded
awesome job!

Beautifully played, nice interpretation, dynamics came through clearly :)
@leeny11, his hand position is fine, in fact you are always supposed to have your hands slightly upward, for better control of the keys >_>

its flawless but you need to reposition the camera you cant see the notes your playing.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
you should work on your hand position more. the reason you have a hard time finding the notes is because of your hand position. if you lowered your wrist and curved your fingers you would be able to reach the chords a lot easier.

I didn't know I had a hard time finding the notes! ;)

@clyfton oh well maybe you don't, but it is still a good tip to remember i think. i have small hands for an adult so this was a struggle for me but i managed to do it if i lowered my wrist a lot. good luck in future .

this is wonderful. Leeny11 is a douche. I can say that, confidently, with the knowledge that their account is now closed... probably due to their being so much of a douche.

It didn't appear as though you had a hard tim finding anything. You played beautifully. It's amazing how you've learned your craft so well, yet there are people who must find fault in everything. Hand positioning my ass. Keep up the beautiful playing.

Only thing i can really say is from 1:25 - 1:39 is faster that it should be, i admit i play it faster like the way you to it only because i think it fits better, but can't really argue with Chopin, other than that very good :)

Not too fast, not too slow, and I nice touch of rubato in most of the right places. I like the hesitation at 1:18...just enough to make you stop and think. Just lovely. The turn was executed with particular care. Just a nice rendition.

Why do so many people make a big deal of how a person plays a piece. Unless specified, play it the way that suits you! For example, I have small hands but I'm a very musical person! So I have to find tricks to reach those notes :P
It's great! Love it . I want to play it now :c)

@burtv1610 its because there are certain ways a composer meant for pieces to be played and it is true that its hard to decide was IS right because we dont exactly know some of the great composers intentions for certain things to be played. In the old days they didnt even write phrase marks or anything because there just widely excepted ways on how to play things.
cjacob84 1 year ago
Very true. Some of the original manuscripts I have viewed don't use the slurrs and phrasing we see today in the EE editions of the music.

What I never get, is why people with smaller hands don't get smaller piano's? Or arent there any?

@PowerRedBull Chopin used to play on a smaller piano. You don't hear about them these days though.
