The very best of Chopin

[anainesgp]

Why you put in your name 666chopin666? its so diabolic

[WickedTheInsane]

@anainesgp Wait for it, the 666 is the mark musulmans used to write in the trees to PREVENT other musulmans from CATHOLICS in the Crusades. Fucking retard.

[zabuzato]

I'm currently attending auditions, playing the Ocean Étude of Chopin, the Posthumous Nocturne and alot more. WISH ME LUCK ;d

[ludek1288]

he is the best polish artist forever!

[DeshGTP]

Good stuff, same goes for Chopin vodka

[picasso298]

i feel sad coze so much to learn about such magnificient musician...i`ve just realised that so many of my favorite musics its hes...im not even a musician...but i miss more@more....

[apluspianist]

I guess is Pollini who played the etudes. The bright and crispy tone suited him!

[zabuzato]

@apluspianist Sound more like Rubinstein

[apluspianist]

Who played the pieces? I should pay a visit and buy gifts to them! I am looking forward to your reply.

[Adicone16040]

seems like beethoven send 18 fans to dislike this ...

[trentatrecarrozze]

and the Polish op. 53?

[trentatrecarrozze]

Chopin the best musician of all times! I love him!

[MrsChocolatte99]

Nocturne 20 ...

[whneo97]

Who's the pianist for the etudes? Sounds so clear O_O

[TonyWRO]

Chopin would not like that 666 near his name

[sdfggfdsfghbvcxfdgnb]

God...this guy was a really sad person

[43irek]

amazing stuff ~!

[AmericanAttacker]

the first piece was in the Karate Kid!!!

[MrDrteddybear]

Chopin, music only worthy of God's ears.

[8corporal]

`Core, blimey, that gezzer was bleedin` blindin` on the old joana, know what I mean like, gov!`

[fraid123]

Chopin, you will live forever in our hearts.

[lovemetu]

This is such a wonderful video, how often I have wondered the name of the various chopin pieces and here now we can play this and quickly pick out the one that you wish to listen to !!It would be nice to get similar videos for many of the well known classical composers !!

[Mergingpoint]

the second piece always reminds me of the beginning of the movie Bad Santa! Great piece!!

[IaxobusJames]

Was chopin groucho?

[MrFernandoPJR]

Op 40 n.1 "military" i remember i could play it!!

[migaugo]

who plays this "revolutionary"?

[TheStalefish11]

yes, I agree. I like Charlie Chaplin



[ALuckyLassIAm]

I NEED to know what the first one is!! <3

[Tader321]

@ALuckyLassIAm Nocturne in C-sharp Minor

[ALuckyLassIAm]

@Tader321 ahh thank you!!

[Jsunofgodz]

He is telling a story, can you hear it?

[DaleLaMar1]

Chopin: the very best of the very best

[mezher25]

my favourite part: 7:46 (Arthur Rubinstein)

[Gidenkidenk]

I don't think Chopin was the antichrist...

[GeorgeTheGreek1978]

@Gidenkidenk You would be surprised to find out how many men have followed the left hand path. If he was into Satanism he wouldn't have left anyone know. But he was a master of his craft. Some may say Gifted or did he have help from forces we will never understand.

[Gidenkidenk]

@GeorgeTheGreek1978 i'm talking about the user's stupid name

About that, I seriously doubt he was a satanist, a Gift from God is what he recieved

[cebaz999]

OMGthisvideo is AWSOME i loveit!!!!!!

[RRRRapify]

question: how is nocturne pronounced?

[IMattchewB]

@RRRRapify "knock" "turn"

[JONNYELVIS7]

@RRRRapify knock turn

[HerrMozartsMusic]

Chopin is to Poland as Beethoven is to Germany!!

[naas40001]

god job man!

[apluspianist]

I forget about impromptus, rondos and mazurkas!

[DonAgalloch]

@apluspianist You also forgot the Waltzes. Can't forget those. :D

[AceComposer]

@apluspianist you also forgot about his waltz and valse (:

[apluspianist]

Nocturnes, etudes, scherzos, ballades, preludes, concertos, polonaises are all Chopin's masterpieces! Thumbs up if you agree.

[kingofpopmylove]

@apluspianist every note he wrote with his pure hand is such more than any word u can say ......

[Polvo63]

listening only the beginning of all those pieces is TORTURE!!

[thebingaman]

@Polvo63 Classical blue-balls.

[thebingaman]

@thebingaman And by "classical" I of course refer to the Romantic era.

[RAGERSHRED]

From where springs forth your vituperative remarks?I'm wasting time and brainpower trying to figure it out-perhaps they arise from jealousy coupled with an intense hatred for one's own incompetence on the clavier.....

[salvadoraugustus]

music is not about nationalism but about humanity ..so stop talkin bullshit all of you

[donnyab]

I spent five minutes wondering what a *Valse* is. Why am I so dumb ?

[yoshidpst]

Polak potrafi :)

[MrTurtlekid96]

That is a picture of George Sand, Chopin's consort, not Chopin Himself!

[RapAndChopin]

There is no "best" of Chopin. whatever he made was better than the last

[XWilliamyX]

@RapAndChopin Well, that would mean that his first piece was the first...

[lulym44]

Hermosa seleccion =)

[cancakmur]

thank you for sharing these masterpieces :) but if there was

the 3rd sonata

polonaise fantasy

fantasy f moll

it would be great. it is still great anyway

[MrThorn88]

This music is the essence of Poland as Chopin wanted it to be.Perfection of describing Polish atmosphere and nature:)

[MrThorn88]

@donnyab U comeletely misinterpreted the meaning of my words.He was composing because he loved music but also to recall Poland and Polish atmosphere because he was missing it for all his life.He was saying it many many times.Many of his songs contains polish folk songs and old Polish standards.This music has Polish nature.U should learn more about Chopin and his music.For you this music can mean something else .This is music!! It has many dimensions!!Many come to Poland to listen to Chopin.Why?

[MrThorn88]

@donnyab And you miss my point.And you started this useless talk.To me it has ZERO meaning that to you it has ZERO meaning that Chopin composed music related to Poland.I only pointed what he was describing in his music!!!.To you this music can mean whatever what. I didn't say that my appreciatin of music is much greater.My answer is that you completely miss the point.Good day

[donnyab]

@MrThorn88

That is not what he is describing in his music.

I will take from it what I WANT and you can take from it what YOU WANT and stop the NATIONALIST BULLSHIT!!

GOODAY TO YOU TOO!!!

[MrThorn88]

@donnyab Take what u want I only pointed what he was describing cause it's historic fact about his style and what determined his music.

[MrThorn88]

@donnyab Also I don't wonder why u like Chopin.You are Irish and our nations are similar:))Come to Poland,go to Chopin's birth place,travel a bit,go to Chopin's museum,learn a little then you will understand better.Cheers

[3DSFuture]

@MrThorn88 Polish atmosphere and nature of XIX century.

[MrThorn88]

@3DSFuture Yes but also you can feel it now as for nature because it hasn't mainly changed and old towns of the cities:)He was also expressing spirit of Poland which is immortal reflecting in folk music,traditions,way of feeling things etc:)

[mahavk]

[Billie1982Jean1]

@Billie1982Jean1 never mind i found it it is waterfall

[bpbartek0]

Who plays piano concerto no 1?

[JeremyBentham96]

Don't try to do a best of Chopin, there is a limit of time on youtube.

[joeyXDface]

@JeremyBentham96 Dont try to be smart on youtube. If you can name the order of life events which influenced his music, then you can think to yourself "I am 'Chopin' smart". But for the love of god don't tell us about it.

[JeremyBentham96]

@joeyXDface You totally misenderstood what I said... I was just saying that everything Chopin composed was very good to me :)

[LinkBulletBill]

@JeremyBentham96

haha well if you become partner, you can do 10 hours. x)

[josemour100]

Not bad, but I still prefer Justin Bieber

[ginsama100]

@josemour100 ok then...

[patsyohulaghan]

1:51 the fontaise impromptu...it sounds like another really famous piano piece...anyone know what the other one is called ?

[lmcannl]

@patsyohulaghan the beginning sounds like moonlight sonata

[zodiako46]

nocturno op 62 nro 1 y 2 ????

[NateCan2]

no Grand Polonaise Op. 22? thats like one of his best. needs to be on this list

[emanuel319]

Please help. I am trying to identify the very first composition in this collection. Thanks,

Emanuel

[HerlockSholmes123]

@emanuel319 Nocturne in C sharp minor. It's one of Chopin's most famous pieces.

[NateCan2]

@HerlockSholmes123 its alost written in the video soooo.....



[imagin73]

@emanuel319 nocturne 20

[pinogah]

Scherzo no.3 is simply genial....

[diegoZrichi]

 <3 Chopin <3 **

[bluelightdawn]

If anyone knows a better composer PLEASE let me know!

I LOVE CHOPIN

[TheKravojed]

@bluelightdawn Johann Pachelbel :)

[shadockman]

Le meilleur de Chopin c'est plus que cela, c'est l'intégralité de ces oeuvres, c'est son âme parce que je pense qu'il est mort bien trop jeune pour nous livrer toute ça substance !!! I LOVE HE

[MetalAge19]

Hmm, i cant realize only one thing, this video has got 11 dislikes, its not possible not to like this, and ive seen dislikes on the most beautiful pieces, so i think that Youtube automaticly adds few dislikes on the video xD because , what kind of person would dislike this? o.0

[mezzoforte95]

I am thinking that Chopin's Prelude Opus 28 No. 24 is my favorite...

[SweetCherryJuice1]

how is the first song called? really liked it, just got interrupted by the second one falling in. :)

[SuperMatt31]

Nocturne in C shaprt minor and Valse Op. 64 n. 2 are the best!

[Kennay32]

@SuperMatt31 im playing op 64 no 2! its amazing to play

[SuperMatt31]

@Kennay32 haha :P i could play it too

[AdamSethMaylek]

:30 Muse Exogenisis pt 2 Cross Pollination. :D

[nicecoolstuff13579]

Chopin- one of the masters of music.

[apple1231230]

look up nocturne in c sharp minor with violin. a different twist on it but its also beautiful

[DunNotCome]

lols pollini is playing all of these pieces right?

[belugerine]

mozart made 11 accounts and disliked this in jealously

[vinciano]

@belugerine Mozart had created two masterpieces that Chopin could never have matched. L Nozze and Don giovanni. And think about the last movement of the Jupiter Symphony. Frederyk was a genius and he felt the piano like nobody else but Mozart is on another level. To not speak about the real Great composders like Bach, Beethoven, Wagner.

[FaithIsAnnoyed]

@belugerine Ha....nah dude. You know Chopin really admired Mozart? He even requested Mozart's Requiem be played at his funeral.

The guy before me makes a good point, there were things Mozart composed that not many could match. But when it comes to piano, few composers had Chopin's poetic depth, besides maybe Beethoven.

[belugerine]

@FaithIsAnnoyed lol i know i was playing around. I listen to mozart, chopin, Beethoven and play most of their pieces. im 13 btw but 3 years experience but ahead of my level at 5 years. just saying ;)

[LordTyrannus]

@belugerine

What does Mozart have to be jealous of? He was a far more diverse composer and played more than just the piano. If anything Chopin should envy Mozart...oh wait he did.

[Llawliet246]

@LordTyrannus They're both completely different composers, there isn't really a whole lot to compare... personally, I dislike Mozart and I love Chopin, but that's personal preference.

[LordTyrannus]

@Llawliet246

You are right, they are. Mozart was alive during the classical era, Chopin was not. Different styles of music. However one pretty much only composed for the piano while the other was far more diverse composing for orchestras, operas, and a plethora of different instruments. Was Chopin a better pianist? Without a doubt. Was he a better composer? Not a by a long shot.

If you could list the reasons why dislike I will take you more seriously, otherwise your opinion is meaningless.

[Llawliet246]

@LordTyrannus Mozart has a style I somewhat dislike. Classical/baroque music has a particular rigidness, it's more difficult for me to relate. Chopin appeals to me more because of how diversely he interprets the piano itself, some of his pieces sounding almost modern, others with that classical rigidness. I can find I can put more of myself into his works than say, Bach's. It's more the era than the composer. I do not really put stock in "who is *the* better composer", art is all subjective.

[LordTyrannus]

@Llawliet246

Fair enough. I don't put much stock into who is better either, but in this case you have someone with skill and diversity in only one area of music compared to someone who composed in a variety of different areas it's hard to use subjectivity as an argument with regards to this.

Music encompasses more than just the piano.

[chairmobile]

@LordTyrannus Are you some kind of retard? Llawliet246 said "PERSONALLY, I dislike Mozart...". Then you get all herpaderp and freak out about how Mozart wrote for more instruments. It's very possible to compare Mozart's MUSIC with Chopin's MUSIC, and Llawliet prefers that of Chopin. Did you just say it's HARD to use subjectivity as an argument with regards to MUSIC? You must be either trolling, or, as I said earlier, retarded.

[LordTyrannus]

@chairmobile

I was backing up my original comment when I said Mozart was a more diverse composer, thus a better composer. Improve your reading skills, please.

It's possible to compare, but stupid and ultimately unrevealing. Both composers lived during different musical eras, thus the styles differed. Are you sure you know how to read?

Okay, it's official, you can't read. I said subjectivity in regards to skill and diversity of music composed by Mozart compared to Chopin.

[chairmobile]

@LordTyrannus Once again, the guy you replied to NEVER and I repeat NEVER even implied that Mozart was an inferior composer. Your initial comment was on a complete tangent to what he said - it is YOUR reading comprehension which failed. Are you seriously trying to say that I'll be better than Chopin if I composefor more than the piano? That Mozart is a better composer SOLELY because he composed for more instruments? That's bullshit. You can't judge composition without subjectivity.

[LordTyrannus]

@chairmobile

Wtf!? I never assumed he implied it in the first place. My original comment was a response to a completely different person. I was simply expanding on what I typed initially explaining why I believed mozart was a more diverse composer.

Yes you can. Chopin's musical spectrum was limited. He played only the piano and composed only for the piano. Mozart did not. It's really as simple as that. Mozart was more flexible, and versatile. Nothing subjective about it, that's fact.

[chairmobile]

@LordTyrannus Wrong. You aren't simply arguing that he's more diverse. You argued multiple times that Mozart was "A better composer" because he was "more diverse". Under this blindingly stupid framework, I could be a "better composer" than Chopin so long as I write music for multiple instruments, regardless of quality. Does this suggest to your seemingly malfunctioning brain that versatility can NOT be used to judge quality as a composer? Versatility is objective. QUALITY is NOT.

[sluzki]

@belugerine you think mozart was worse then chopin so you are an idiot

[mareandzoe]

hhhhhh....lol...maybe he had a help from other composers

[accadaccaVHRATM]

@belugerine Lol

[boysangur]

Chopin is badass

[961chopin]

there are 9 idiots here :)

[kroooassant]

@961chopin your comment is the one of an idiot :)

[azndude3600]

I guess no Opus 10 no. 3, aye?

[0172240254]

Epic pieces that's why i kept his cd since my childhood . He is legend. May his works be preserved.

[Tektonik85]

Chopin był pianistą Polska.. I guess xD

[Emanuele6943]

Scelte davvero bellissime! Complimenti !



[muffinsarelife1]

WHAT ABOUT PRELUDE NO.4, 15, AND 20???? YOU CRAZY????

[ThePianoPlayer93]

I knew when I saw the best of chopin, that the first one will be Nocturne C-sharp minor!! <3

[boristhefox1997]

And fantaisie impromptu

[kamelai]

Oh, I love Nocturne in C# minor. I found the sheet, and I started playing it today. These Chopin pieces are a challenge, but I managed to play Tristesse (where is it in this vid?!) and Waltz in C# minor. I'm looking forward to be able to play the nocturne, it's hard but it's really worth it. Chopin is magical.

[TheConfuter]

where was the 4th ballade?? or did i just miss it?

[danielkol10]
