Chopin, Prelude 20 in C-minor

[YellowMangerCalling]

Brilliant. More greetings from Scotland!

[DavidLancasterPiano]

Beautifully played.  What piano are you playing it on, if I may ask?

[kesakko]

Thank you very much, David! The piano is D-model Steinway, which has been made 1925 in Hamburg.

[DavidLancasterPiano]

@kesakko Many thanks Yuha. I wonder if you heard the recording of me playing the same prelude also on a Steinway. My camera doesn't record well, so I don't have a movie but only the recording with a still photo.

Ay yo pilot drift tht was kinda funny i gotta admit

[PickleHead60]

Third measure fourth beat is E natural, not E flat, fuckwit.

[JACKandJILLaok]

@PickleHead60 Since when did not knowing something make someone a ''fuckwit'' as you call them...so you know everything do you?.... dumbfuck!...what an arogant prick

[johnabyerly]

@PickleHead60 Unfortunately, it is easier to call names than it is to do research. Equally unfortunate are your posts on other videos. Apparently, E flat versus E natural is a point of debate. I have always heard (and played) the E natural, so E flat sounds weird to me. Supposedly, however, Chopin penciled in the flat on one of the copies of the music. I have seen sheet music written both ways. So, the person who posted this video may have been playing it as it was written.

HIenoa työtä, Juha. Tämä on ehdottomasti yksi parhaista versiosta täällä. Hyvä tempo ja kaunissointinen piano. T. Niko

[mrjkdeyoung]

Your piano has a great sound. and you play quite well for not being a professional video.

[rietta]

beautiful i love the tempo!

[teakbridge101]

I have listened to about 40 or so versions of this preludium to day. Your's other than Tzvi Erez's is the finest version.

[DavidObst]

Truly beautiful, the best I've heard it. Well done

[rietta]

brava

[Danburnz1]

tutorial?

[pilotdrift05]

yeah there's a tutorial. it's called sheet music. LOL sorry i had to.

[SuperIby]

fair enough... XD

[SuperIby]

@pilotdrift05 actually ive never read music before, and learned how to, JUST so i could play this.

[daytonmlivingston]

@SuperIby Awwwww......that's so cool....

[necro2607]

Not bad, not bad. I agree with a previous commenter - definitely a better tempo. Everyone plays the song too fast, and it takes away from the ability to really feel each chord for what it is! Slower tempo really adds to the dramatic nature of the piece. Great performance. :)

[2vonranke]

Not trying to compare so no" I like arguments" please but I wonder if Pete Townsend wasn't influnced by this piece for the opening chordes to "Pinball Wizard"? I mean, since he was trying to write a rock opera it would only seem likely that he would try to mimic classical structures wouldn't it?

[naamaraaja]

I like the tempo a lot, this is one of the best versions I've heard on Youtube :) Favourited and 5/5!

[zoso445]

this is great!

[ArchieWW]

Beautiful! A pleasure to listen to. Greetings from Scotland.

[aquaman300]

sweet and sincere.

[Dahmer1988]

Where is fortissimo?

[RenatoABabka]

nice interpretation!! congratulations m8 ^^

[RenatoABabka]

ps.: try still with ur hands at the keyboard till the sound ends... dont let just the pedal working, it afect the sound and if u play in other piano u dont know, can happen the pedal dont work well and have a break in the sound, would be sux this =/ but u did very well, nice job mate...

[kesakko]

Thanks for your comment, Renato! This is one of the right techniques to play with pedal. I always check that piano is working right before concert. If piano doesn't work right it's tuner's mistake. BTW, I am a piano teacher by profession =)

Thank you for all the comments, everybody!

[CantThinkOfANamee]

beautiful =]

[AnXare]

Heh, I read about this song in Lucky Luke comic "Jesse James". This Prelude sounds really sad. I like J. S. Bach's Preludes more.

[IBeTheBadman]

I really like the way you've actually played it largo: a lot of the videos of this piece tend to play it unnaturally fast.

Anyway, it's very very good. :)

[AlsatianCousin]

Good tempo and interpretation.

[Shironi10]

there should br crescendo in the end...

but nice

[vulcan1948]

Very nicely played and you obviously feel the emotion of the piece.

[ldc168]

Nice!

[Penguin122789]

Shouldnt the highest E on the fourth beat of the third measure be natural? accidentals carry through the measure... -_-

[SgtXerogovitsky]

I'm looking at the music for it now, and in fact the E you refer to is marked with a flat.

[enkelix]

amazing :O

[kesakko]

Thank you, enkelix =)
