I love all the people saying this is easy and such. It is easy to play, however it is difficult to play it correctly, i.e., interpretively. This piece really speaks when played well, that's why it's my favorite waltz. At my college audition I'm going to play la campanella, the volodos turkish march, and end with this piece.
His version is the one on Youtube that sounds closest to mine. I was surprised that I didn't enjoy Valentina Lisitsa's interpretation, it felt rushed and took too many degrees of freedom that it sounded too affected... it's interesting and unique, yes, but I like this version. all player comparisons aside, one of my favorite pieces of all time. OF ALL TIME.
I just finished playing this piece about 5 minutes ago and came here to listen to a "real" version of it and wow does this sound completely different. The emotion, I love it. Apparently I still have room for improvement...
I 1st heard this song in the video game "Alone in the Dark", always struck me as 'creepy' as a kid, 25 years later I can hear the tale of romance that never was......
I've never heard this played so beautifully as this video. What charming appeal. His videos are so irrestible that they force you to come back several (hundred) times for more. lol He captures your heart, doesn't he? So moving...
This is so beautifully played. He has such amazing videos that I purchased his Blu-rays and they are PHENOMENAL! The video's quality is simply amazing! More than I ever could have imagined. I bought all three: Intimate Recital, Tranquility - Vortex, and Tranquility Solitaire. Beautiful music and scenery on the Tranquilities. I'm a super fan of this gentleman's music and videos now. Even his online store is very organized, and the customer service is the best I've dealt with.
Dacă ar fi să ne însoţim cu muzică toate plecările, de lângă noi, din noi şi de aiurea, parcă sunetul ar trebui să fie unul încărcat de tristeţe, dulce... şi Chopin-nian!
@TheSunGlassesThing I agree with you, as a matter of fact I don't like when little childs play Chopin, it is not at their level, perhaps it is from a technical point of view but Chopin and romantic pieces are beyond technical interpretations and the musicality one needs to play it relies in feeling and living. Yours here is great comment!
I noticed between 1:57 and 2:02 i see a shadow besides on the left hand, something like it touches some key on the piano, sound creepy but i've watched it over and over again, and i cant be wrong. ... weird .... anyways, this piece is very well played.
If I play this memorized, and execute it somewhat perfectly (never as well as this, but decent enough), what "level" so to speak, would you say I am? Just out of curiosity, I truly have no idea, and I'd like to know (:
@ponggolese so true!!! I play this song and I'm absolutely in love with the rubato feel. Chopin's way of playing his songs with rubato just makes his music stand out amongst other composers. If only I could time travel back in time just to hear him play his music with his own rubato feel...*dreamy sigh
@MangaLover210 Its playing with time... Increase the speed and slow down around the time line. Like the leaves dancing in the wind whereas the trunk don't move, that's rubato. It's tipical of the romantic music... (chopin, schumann...)
sono daccordo con elmas333, non c'è veramente molto sentimento, sopratutto nella prima parte che deve essere molto più melancolica. Ma è un veramente buona pianista. 5 stelle.
I'm studying it... IT'S SO DIFFICULT.!!!
