[xxiPr0digy]

Umm...im pretty sure he bought it cause its a book, not just sheet music printed off the web. so yeah you should probably go buy it at a book store or music store. It will be worth buying it.

[danmetallick11]

Please man/girl Tell me where you find the notes o please send it to me (:

[izzyjamm4]

Part of the beauty of this piece is that it is very complicated yet still quite structured. Some of his most beatiful pieces are of constantly changing composition. Chopin is my favorite composer of all time! :)

[xxiPr0digy]

I am currently learning this piece!! :))) I LOVE IT

[danmetallick11]

@xxiPr0digy Good! But where dou you have the piano sheets or wueher you get it from?

You will help me a lot cos i really need it , thanks (:

[xxiPr0digy]

@danmetallick11 Sorry, I didnt get the sheet music online. My piano teacher gave me the music

[danmetallick11]

@xxiPr0digy Humm could you please tell your tacher where he find it? (:

[LeonR1993]

@danmetallick11 you want the sheets? pm me, you'll get them ;)

[danmetallick11]

@LeonR1993 And how can i pay you? I dont live in EE.UU /:

[debeastdueeast]

@danmetallick11 if you want them, I can send them, what's your email? And to be certain, you need the Grand Polonaise Op. 2... right

The Pianist

[Amusiclover1954]

The brilliance of Chopin and Horowitz!One of the most beautiful compositions ever written by the Genius Chopin.Horowitz must have been moved by the fact that he could play this incredible piece so well.People in the audience have cried when Horowitz played. They say that Liszt looked like a God and played like one too but Chopin was his contemporary. Where are the composers like Liszt and Chopin, Beethoven and Mozart? Are they immortal because when we hear their music we are awestruck and moved?

[izzyjamm4]

@Amusiclover1954 You know Arthur Rubinstein is playing this piece, right?

[VIRIATO1942]

This is the very best of Chopin by the very best of piano players, Rubinstein. As far as good music goes this piece is as imortal as ........Poland !

[f7y6]

@truthseeker0183 GODDAMN THIS MUSIC MAKES ME SO HARD.

[THEMOVIEMAKER202]

I bet chopin was a descendent of Apollo, the greek god of Music and art.

[piano37077]

Pouah ! Sa déchire ! C'est de loin le meilleur morceau de Chopin

[SneverusSnapers]

:D :D :D love having the sheet music to look at -- makes you think how they're making playing a virtually impossible piece not look 'easy' exactly but comparitavely simple :p

[adeq44]

Amazing piece, amazing interpretation.

To listen Chopin in live - it is my dream, maybe in heaven?

[arba2006]

You are more then welcome to come to Warsaw, Poland during summer time. In Lazienki park, very close to the center, in very beautiful scenery, in the middle of the nature, you can listen every weekend the interpretations of Chopin's masterpieces played by professional pianist from different countries. Great experience !

[sergiobantam]

A reencarnação de Chopin!

[kevinwantstoshred]

Back to the piano I go!

[moonunitenar]

honestly, 3:48 to 5:07 has to be some of the most beautiful music ever written. I'm in awe.

[kingurfay]

I didn't notice when the 9 minutes passed away...

[kintamahibachi]

damn cool!!!!!!!!

[hayazi95]

@mglt1412

Did you check imslp.org?

[mglt1412]

where can i get this music sheet?

[IlidaCullen]

162 years from his death

[SilentNoise92]

I honestly don't care if you smoke marijuana to this. To be honest no one does. So keep it in your lungs, and have your trip. I'm havin mine chilling and listening to this.

[SaladHood]

@SilentNoise92 Making a post down-sizing people posting about listening and smoking weed, concluding your post with "I'm smoking weed". Hypocrite.

[SilentNoise92]

@SaladHood Can you read? I didn't conclude my post with "I'm smoking weed." However, I won't deny being a hypocrite, because everyone is.

[SaladHood]

@SilentNoise92 "I'm havin mine chilling and listening to this."

[RH98]

2:19 is actually pretty discordant :o 

[100Wilbur999]

yep. rubinstein is a freak, his recordings always sounded like he can make the piano do whateeever he likes

[RH98]

@truthseeker0183 interesting theory I can truck with to an extent (higher frequencies cerebral, lower fequencies visceral), but what about all the lower frequencies in classical music. There must be more to it than that.

[aznliquid]

should listen to Yundi Li's version. Feels like walking on air

[gspaulsson]

It says tutti at the beginning but it doesn't sound like tutti to me, just trombones

[ianFbaltazar]

I saw Jesus fap.

[killpowernotpeople]

I drink cough syrup to this

[SongsofInnocence]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!! just listen to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[W0lfman0]

@truthseeker0183 Don't let them get you down... they are in darkness for now. Please don't cast pearls before swine.

[YayWatermelon]

what are you two even talking about? just shh.

[112JK211]

@YayWatermelon some people have a lot of time on there hands and they like to spend it arguing with each other so they can feel smart and they think it makes them look cool and intelligent to anyone that reads it.

They think if they argue with this person they are doing the world a favour but really nobody cares but the people involved anyone that looks at what they read just thinks what immature people with a lot of free time....

[bassforfun94]

@truthseeker0183 Take your religious jargon somewhere else you bible-thumping bigot. This is a place for sharing ideas, not bashing everyone who doesn't look at your god and see heaven. Watch the video and shut up.

[MegaFlipperboy]

@truthseeker0183 Jesus is the main character in YOUR religion. I can apply what you did to other religions as well and i forgot to add sexuality is also quite subjective although not really as much as morality, in some papuan new guinea tribes simply sitting with legs open is considered obscene, girls prancing around in tights 17-18th century europe was considered sexual and many times ballet was a form of prostitution where after the show a patron would pick a ballerina they liked

[MegaFlipperboy]

@truthseeker0183 "Jesus is the way, the truth & the life." Says your religion, many other religions would disagree with you and actually look up the history of ballet before you say the dance is not sexual

[MegaFlipperboy]

@truthseeker0183 Again what is sinful is completely subjective, different people have different ideas of sin in some religions its sinful it eat beef, in others pork, in some religion homosexuality is a sin in others it is not. and i have seen people dance sexually to European classical music, it is called ballet.

[MegaFlipperboy]

@truthseeker0183 ungodly is COMPLETELY subjective, white supremacists, radical muslims, and african tribes all have completely different ideas of what is godly and what is ungodly. and last time i checked drums arent the only instrument capable of making people move in "sexual ways"

[reg153reid]

And to think that Chopin wanted some of his own music destroyed. Why???

[rsalinas956]

Listening to this makes me wonder. What the heck happened to music? Where did all the talent go?

[emmliea]

@rsalinas956 The talent went on vacation to california.

[nostradamusguy]

With what orchestra is Rubinstein performing in this recording?

[saposD]

I can`t believe a human can play this¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[caramelllllo]

@saposD I saw a 6 years old girl play flight of the bumblebee and a guy playing the guitar while riding a bike. I can't get surprised anymore :|

[saposD]

@caramelllllo :O ¡¡¡¡

[FinrodFelagund007]

Brillante!!! Were i can get the scoer music??

0:24 - 9:06 He's pro.

[th3b3st1888]

@DmitrijKaramazov haahhahahahaah I really laugh my ass offf hahahahahahhah LOL 

[erfifien]

Chopin was not a genuis. he was a god.

[RENEDU2]

@erfifien amen :P

[nudist1033]

So what's with the sudden tempo change in the 5th measure?

[porchmonkey401k]

@nudist1033 cause rubinstein was an interpretive artist, not a robot? He was so good that whatever he did that you interpret as wrong is actually something he chose to do. These guys practice to metronomes, they dont fuck around, but thats the beauty of Chopin, the expression of nuance (Con Animato) :D

[acla9000]

Only one word to say: MARVELOUS.

[taliatv]

i just want to play 3.29 - 4.11 over and over and over.

oh hey, i think i will!!!

[YDG777]

@taliatv that part gets me every time....genius

[JOELALVARADO95]

I had sex with this music¡¡¡¡¡

[CurseAura]

Chopin's music is just beyond compare.

[Adamgrinwald]

WLADYSLAW SZPILMAN CONTINUED

TO LIVE IN WARSAW UNTIL HIS DEATH ON 6TH JULY, 2OOO. HE WAS 88 YEARS OLD

[sweetdwhite]

damn i love the part at 2.26 and 7.31

[Lukecash12]

You know, I don't like listening to this piece as much any more. Great writing, and Rubinstein is great, but it just isn't worthwhile (this piece in particular) if the pianist hasn't set out to produce contrast in repetitive phrases. This is something that carried on from the ornamentation of the Baroque period into not so long ago, but we lost it somewhere and only a few of the V.S.O.P.'s really kept it.

So, I anticipate a rebirth of the practice into modern artistry.

[outerpol]

I masturbate to this

[SongsofInnocence]

Not to b disrespectful,but are you sure this is Rubinstein? sounds like yundi li

[kaoruyagami]

Great pieces of music's history

[asprj]

Love the sheet music shone. I don't there's just something nice and contrasted and olden about them. Oh, and yeah, congrats Arthur. You actually do Chopin a great deal of justice

[danti08]

26 people can't listen rightly

[ArthwrH3nry]

Man, this is very cool!!

[mrotismrotis123]

a fucking orgasm

[HannahSayenko]

The Pianist <3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[95hayazi]

This piece gives me goosebumps at the very beginning. At the 4th measure of the piano solo when he goes up to that G? That's my favorite part.

[BarakBreden1]

shut up and praise this.

[llethaface11]

I smoke marijuana to this

[epyjacek]

@llethaface11 It's like going back to Poland in Spring...

[auntiepicklebottom]

@llethaface11 I fucking love you... Let's chill sometime

[thiessen35]

@llethaface11 and I listen to this.

[reinehcreinehc]

@llethaface11 lucky

[fuckslipknot21]

@llethaface11 screw maryjane. i go high simply listening to this piece.

[MASTERMIKEEE]

@llethaface11 My weed grows twice as fast to this.

[Zarz02]

@llethaface11 My weed grows faster to this

[viktoruschka]

@llethaface11 Chopin did smoke some pot, they say... George Sand introduced him to the grass, since she was a french décolletée. Poor guy, she killed him

[LocustxXxLocust]

@llethaface11 I recomend hall of the mountan king for that.

[F14Lolcat]

@llethaface11 Try smokin' to Ornstein's A la Chinoise. I'ts trippy enough even without marijuana!

[MrSheogorath]

[poyoscorp]

@truthseeker0183 You're Catholic and you watch Fox News, I take it?

[Mongoose1358]

@truthseeker0183 No offense intended, but that's kinda a narrow minded view, I've been brought up playing the piano from the age of 5 and love this kind of music, however I am also a student of music technology (i.e. production of music using computers) and a fan of electronic/dance music. I can assure you that modern music production, although musically may not be too impressive, requires just as much or MORE skill than playing the piano. It's not just about chords and singing melody.

[amxmachine]

@Mongoose1358 you cant really compare playing music to composing music. try composing something like this. it takes way more skill than the modern stuff because there are definitive rules. you can throw almost whatever sound into modern music. whereas a piano has 88 keys and 2-3 pedals. the sound effects become mastery of notes strung together at speeds with/without pedal.

[huzzzzzzahh]

why do people overlook this? the piano part is way harder than any guitar solo someone like slash could play

[hayazi95]

@PublicLibraryx

It's a slow or march-like Polish dance that is composed in 3/4 time. The typical rhythm of a polonaise is an eighth note followed by two sixteenths and then 4 more eighth notes. If that made any sense, you can hear that rhythm alot in this piece.

[jinxsayonara]

i swear.. i was like reading everyones comments well listen to this..LOL.....>.<

[PublicLibraryx]

Hey what exactly IS a polonaise?

[MegaFlipperboy]

@truthseeker0183 You obviously have not heard alot of street performers perform on pots and pans. Would you also consider people like Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and Amon Tobin untalented? most of their music was create through use of computer software, lastly the term ungodly is completely subjective, the waltz was considered an ungodly dance just as much as any african american jazz dance, and it doesent matter really whether your a "man of god" or not, some composers like brahms were agnostic

[nikkiisbeastly]

4:32 - 4:59 = love at first sight

[hayazi95]

This piece absolutely amazing. I'm speechless ._.

[krifenix]

It's good to sleep.

[iannickCZ]

Does this player has 20 fingers? So many notes, I learned 6years to piano so I kow this is unique.

[rodrigornovaes]

@iannickCZ I was a good piano student for 9 years and I even played some Chopin but I wouldn't come anywhere near this piece. It's insanely difficult. I mean, brutal. Maybe it takes my 9 + your 6 years to do it right.

[XxHamaruxX]

this video deserves millions of views, honestly

[mountassiniboine]

Utterly inspiring. Transports my spirit to godknowswhere.

Magic!

[xXQueenOfSuperficial]

This is the last song in the movie of "The Pianist"... <3

[AMAURIS966]

@xXQueenOfSuperficial I love that movie. I think this was also on Tom and Jerry.

[classicforever1]

Thật tuyệt vời. Tại sao bây giờ chúng ta lại không có người viết ra những giai điệu này chứ?

[Aris19Q]

Thank you...

[612curtis]

This was amazing :O

[BaBaBaBaBirdman]

Powerful music gives you chills down your spine and brings tears to your eyes as it hits you strongly in all the best ways. This is that music. Classical music is the essence of music, I think. So intelligent, so overwhelming in emotion and imagery, so profound. It's a shame that people would rather listen to Lil Wayne than Chopin or Bach.

Tisk tisk tisk, the world we live in...

[musicman753357]

I bet you this is a pain in the ass to count.

[jodycheung90]

I really love Rubinstein's touch on Chopin:)

Thanks for the upload!

[aznminr123]

all those dislikes were just wagner and liszt making multiple accounts and disliking

[wagneristhebest]

@aznminr123 Wagner and Liszt were more fond of Chopin than you would expect, Wagner took many ideas from Chopin's amazing works, and Chopin took many ideas from Liszt's virtuosity. However, yes, on the face, Wagner and Cosima especially publically disliked Frederic, although Franz Liszt was for the most part an ardent admirer!

[iPlayPiiano]

@aznminr123 What on earth are you talking about?! Wagner and Liszt both really were into Chopin.

Sad way to get thumbsups if you ask me. Too bad you succeeded any ways.. =|

[aznminr123]

@iPlayPiiano

i didn't know i would get thumbs ups....

and i know, i'm just kidding because liszt and chopin are kind of competitors in history as nationalist composers

[bb0ysmiley]

@aznminr123 They werent competitors and never had rivalry going on between them, and they where good friends and admired eachothers work and shared lovers etc. =)

[RH98]

@bb0ysmiley - shared lovers?! Were those different times, or what?

[bb0ysmiley]

@RH98 I havent searched it myself, but a polish friend said that in that way. I didn't write my comment in a very formal way, but they have been into the same woman, wich I have read in a book by Derek Watson =)

[idzivball]

@aznminr123 what a bunch of hacks... lolz

[UnScriptedFlix]

@aznminr123 I believe Liszt admired Chopin's work, but you never know with those mischievous pianists; always mucking about. :)

[chuckthreefingers]

for the first time i can see the music, i mean i can read it now, all this time i have learned from ear and and now seeing the music in sequence i have become aware of what it means, took me this long... im 21 and my favorite instrument is the piano and the power of that orchestra behind it that just makes the piano so.. so. just... fuck i ca't think of that one word..... fuck it , where is drink!!

[undergraundsky777]

niesamowita muzyka naszego polskiego geniusza!

[WatchTheLeftHook]

i cant wait to play this .

[1Thompsonmusic]

Please watch my video upload of Chopin Prelude in A major.

[musicandhorsefreak]

i'm trying to choreograph a ballet dance to this.

[chuckthreefingers]

@musicandhorsefreak they would be moving so erratic though.. it would look like the people on the stage were having very complex seisures.. by the way.. lmao!!

[musicandhorsefreak]

@chuckthreefingers yeah, lol, but the music is nice to dance to, not too boring and slow, you know.

[Molsons4]

Hey in the long run its been proven people who listen to classical music generally have a higher I.Q. Plus its beautiful

[jabrightlefthook]

@Molsons4 i listen to classical compose and play the piano also i rap and sing its all in the game and yes i do have a high I Q anyone willing to play chess against id be happy in showing them the beauty of the ghetto and a checkmate

[kevinpianoop1]

chopin es una de las personas que mas innovo en su forma de elavorar armonias , y ademas se arriesgo a utilisar muchas disonancias

[DonDragonJr]

no creo q chopin hubiera escrito rock and roll porque la verdad es mucho mas romantico

[thefastesrcman]

This vid needs WAY more views.

[LaFlammeAzure]

i'm here because i played eternal sonata

[YDG777]

this song made me feel love again

[MrSlimilS]

great...

[qwertyz15]

I like many types of music including the modern stuff people dis as well as classical. Broaden your horizons people! I'm only 17 years old, only played violin and piano 8 years, and I know that much.

[jabrightlefthook]

@qwertyz15 thanks for listing your "accomplishments" while teaching us to broaden our views when we are the ones listening to the music.

[qwertyz15]

@jabrightlefthook I could have worded that better I'm sure, but I made my point at how frustrated I am with people dissing my other interests when I just want to appreciate music.

modern music cant compare to this, ESPECIALLY music of today, that horrid screeching cant be called music

[Benj888]

Chopin > Everyday Life

[thefastesrcman]

you know guys, this was the rock and roll of long ago.

[HolyMotherofGrid]

@thefastesrcman Yup!! Listz and Pagannini had the young girls screaming and wetting their pants a hundred years before the Beatles even learned to sing.....
