Chopin Ballade No. 1

[SilenceTheQuiet]

This MIDI piano could not have ruined this Ballade more. it has a pedal; use it. and smooth the dang rhythms out! jeez

[yourfriend9l]

[doomless198]

[weterr123]

What the fuck is this?! EPIC FAIL. Thumbs up those who agree - I bet this comment gets at least 100 likes/thumbs up in a month

[JHN02]

so fuunny ^-^

[isabelle981]

Haha - I like how you get a piano playing the notes but this piece is mainly showing the notes that plays but not the music - it'll be much better if you play it with music as well.

How to ruin one of the best ballades in 7:40: lesson 1: Posting it on youtube

@thomas271104

Blow it out your ass... Stuck-up homo.

Many of us are here just to enjoy some good music. Luckily youtube allows us to explore all kinds of music via random browsing.

[guillatra]

I find the moderato very hard to play because of the rythm and the pedal.

In this interpration I like the beginning and the fast parts.

[ulsbolde89]

Useful when checking up on the rhythm and correct mechanics.

[artymowycz]

i dont like this interpretarion

[KadiCompany]

@artymowycz I hope it isn't an interpretation ;] just MIDI file.

[artymowycz]

@KadiCompany i know i was joking lol

[KadiCompany]

@artymowycz Ok, ok :) I don't like it too, but it's interesting to see self-playing piano. And example of very emotional performance ;)

[rubenbetelrigel]

durante instantes parecen haber mas de once teclas presionadas

[musicclassic1810]

ist amazing

[freshechidna]

this is the worst interpretation i've ever heard of this ballade.

though the animation is pretty neat

[GazeRock123]

Lmao for reals!

[DiscoDaveCockleboy]

I'm pretty sure this is just a tutorial so I wouldn't worry about it

[Elicgt]

unlike most midis here this one terrible and completely ruins this beautiful ballade.

[pepemazter]

@Elicgt So why you listen midis?

[Elicgt]

@pepemazter to help when studying ;)

[Abchase1890]

Is That Busoni playing like that or just a editied player piano roll

I Just Wondering Because that is not even close to the way it is written on the sheet music

[kasyapa]

piano roll.

[Matticitt]

Too fast.

[maert95]

Pollini's version is better, but I like this one, too.

[Mikael8335]

The entire piece is too fast, Idil Biret plays it magnificient, for about 10 minutes.

[aewanko300]

All of you bitching about the finale. Maybe you are used to the "Pianist" movie crap.

[Mazeppa21]

No. I'm actually used to the other players performing this piece, i.e. Richter, Argerich, Volodos etc.

I've actually never saw "the pianist".

[jeetkd]

Not to mention that 'The Pianist' compositions were performed by Janusz Olejniczak, a superb performer, reguardless of whether the piece was abbreviated in the film.

Thanks for posting this

[Mazeppa21]

Come on, please can you put it a b-b-bit slower from 6:40 to the last please?

Really wanted to learn this piece but.....

I couldn't really see how the notes were played when played this fast from 6:40.

Thanks...

[spike2133876]

can you shut the fuck up you fucking reatrd. you dont know shit and u want to learn this piece. it takes many many years to learn this. you who doesent know notes nothin will never learn anything fuck u

[Mazeppa21]

hey, although I don't know notes,

I'm able to play La Campanella, Winter Wind etude, Liszt's Sonnetto del Petrarca, Liszt's Un sospiro and many others just be hearing the radio and watching others play.

Hence, I am the example of people who can't read notes but able to play the piano.

By the way, I already know the first 7:00 of the entire piece.

Accuse me of whatever shit example you are referring to but I do know proper shit.

So you shut the fuck up in return.

Face the wrath of SUCK!!!

[Mazeppa21]

last message is a reply to spike2133876

[budzillab]

knowing the notes of something is less than 1/4 of being able to truly play a piece. This is what makes different performers sound different. This is why some people say that Lang Lang is terrible or the Russian pianists shouldn't play Chopin. To express what the piece emotes to you is to know it, to feel it, to play it.

[j0koboz]

@budzillab

What you said is true and beautiful like most of Chopins music. I love Chopin's music, I want music played by him... No one else on my Mp3

[MiniGuillout]

Download the DownloadHelper Add-On for Firefox and it will allow you to download this video. Using a video editor (Windows Movie Maker), you can slow down the video. I don't know if this might help you.

Anyways good luck. The end is pretty hard.

[Mazeppa21]

I mean-just to put a little slower from 6:40 to the last. Thanks!

[HolySpiritTRUTH]

I couldn't agree more. It ruined the piece. The finale is the most important aspect in my opinion.

[ljoekelsoey4]

yeh, its the climax to a choatic and melancholic piece, it needs to be fast, painful and ecstaticly played to emphasise the obvious heartache it is trying to show. i play it in a similar style as i feel this suits it best. the beauty of opinion eh? :)

[Mazeppa21]

Hey Lockdown42!

Do you mind if you could put it a teenee weeny bit slower, I want to learn this piece but I haven't got the notes of the whole piece an I can't read notes. Can you put it a bit slower for me please?

[Elicgt]

the animation is good but the iterpretation isn't.

[FranzLiszt2]

Lockdown42 Sir,

Is it possible if youncan upload the Liszt Orage please? I'm working on the Ballade no.1 at the moment and I would Appreeciate it if you could upload Liszt Orage please. I would like a little challenge for myself once I finished working on the Chopin Ballade no.1

Yours Sincerely

FranzLiszt2

[reaperman2004]

Although I never liked Busoni's playing... I sure as hell am impressed at your ability to render the piano keyboard as it's being played.

The next amazing thing would be to be able to render a persons hands and to be able to try and program to respond to the piano music like a real player - THAT would be fucking awesome..

but this is awesome as well.

I just think that some of the recordings that their based on are a little messy - which isn't your fault.

[FranzLiszt2]

Lockdown42: I thank you in taking co-operation with my requests. thank you

[teresahan1991]

OMG thank you so much!!
