You are very cute! Youre neck is very nice, but this is chopin! You cant play it on this kind of piano like autist! I am sure that you really dont know what the real music is! I'm sorry
@tempetiger I am learning this now, and my teacher said Barry Manilow did a rip off of this...I really love Chopin....I was actually in Warsaw and saw the pillar where his heart is entombed....
I think the dramatic ending is a good twist from how I play this piece. I barely bring a crescendo, and it also has a very good effect on the piece. I might try playing a very dramatic crescendo at the end.
You're playing wrong notes! In measure 3, 3rd beat, it is G F E-flat, not A-flat G E-flat. Also, you have no phrasing. Every chord sounds like a blow to the head, instead of being connected to the overall phrase.
Just cause were not Chopin or Bach or a Ludwig ,''or even a concert pianist doesn't
mean your a bloke?,''That means I'm a bloke,cause my timing is off and i make up with rubato,'' improvising till it sounds like finger exercises or on a good day my own song,''hA! Making girls think i'm great,''(the clueless ones always,like blokes)'' That i will be a great composer soon,''LOL,''I gotta find out what the hell a bloke is? !aH
Depends on the key board. I have a roland and it sounds pretty near like a grand piano. A good quality keyboard will run five grand plus. If you buy a keyboard from Radio Shack, you get what you pay for.
@nos0323 lmao after learning this, both my hands can reach a ninth--it totally messed me up, because now, for every other piece I play, when I have to play an octave I instinctively go to my max hand-span, which is too much.
The electric keyboard really takes away from hearing the melody - because it's not using hammers to control the speed of the attack of the note. Good melodic and rhythmic accuracy. I think the pedal could add a lot more, and really bring out the top notes in the right hand. You looked very tense. I think you could relax a little bit, and get away from using the sheet music. Add some expression and it would be a fantastic performance! Good work thus far!
Probably could be slower -- there's really great harmonies in there that need time to be absorbed. Nice dynamic contrast on the higher registers, though.
Also, does anyone know why in some performances of this piece (such as the Rubinstein and Alfred Cortot performances) the performers play a C major instead of a C minor chord on the last beat of the third measure (heard at about 0:32 of this video)? I've only noticed this in what seem to be older recordings, so I wonder if maybe a more accurate score was discovered recently? Or if the interpretation just changed over time?
In the third measure, third chord (with the dotted eighth-16th), you went too high with the soprano voice. I believe you played an Ab to G when the music reads a G to F. Not too big of a deal, I know the ledger lines above the staff can seem to get jumbled sometimes haha. I don't mean to be nit-picky, but I'm analyzing this piece for a theory class, so I figured I'd point it out
It was a mediocre rendition. I don't think that you really did the song justice with the pieces of the piece that you pieced together. Two boos for you.
this sounded okay...the player could have accented the melody notes a bit more by having more wieght on the pinky. This skill is very difficult to achieve...so i give the player a thumbs up anyways :)
I think you have a musical heart. I can hear that the left hand octaves are almost imperceptively slightly late but if you listen carefully you can hear it.
absolutely wonderful! Bravo! I know this piece inside out because it's been one of my favorites since i learned it about 6 years ago. There's only ONE thing i could suggest you could improve on. On the octave graces notes in the slower section on page 2 you could make the top note sing out and really ring like you're playing a bell almost. Imagine grabbing in with your pinky while slightly tilting your hand to the thumb. ^_^ you played it SO good though. A ++++
No, i think you did a very good job conveying the sorrow of this piece, even though it was on keyboard. Great job, i JUST finished this piece today. =D
04/12/09 If capitalism worked properly, Bill Gates or Warren Buffet would just send you a piano.
For you to play so well has been a lot of work and dedication on your part. You should have your piano. You would be able to produce much more if only because you would blend so much better with your instrument.
Good luck to you and thank you for sharing your gift...wish I could say the same for capitalism.
I read a lot of things about the tempo, but personally, I think people usually play it too slowly. Having said that, tempo is dependant upon many factors, and the other characteristics of your performance don't quite line up with this tempo. To make any specific judgements wouldn't be fair considering the limitations of an electric keyboard. But there are some wrong notes, too many for a piece like this. They seem like misreadings rather than accidents. Just review the score more carefully
Piano playing is not necessarily a contest of dynamics, nor is it necessarily a contest of speed. The heavy handedness of this playing is reminiscent of the weight borne upon the feet of a person carrying a coffin, so in that sense, interpretively this is a quite excellent piano player
Where I live, the only grand piano is at the high school. It is in very bad condition. Some people cannot afford to spend a lot of money on a better piano. I have an excellent piano, which I have never heard equalled by a grand piano. The sound has a quality that I've never heard anywhere else. I do somewhat agree with you, though, an electric piano is not right for this. It needs an acoustic.
You gotta give the guy a break considering the piano, liszt-faust. I play different acoustic pianos for about 20 hours a week, but this one house to which I go has an electric piano and it drives me FUCKING NUTS every time. I know what you mean, it's a little terse, but the electric piano generally eliminates about 90% of the sensitivity you put into your playing. This is fine work.
"Like someone died or something"? lol... well, whatever visual you need to play is up to you, but musically, it's very quater-notey... there's no shape to the phrases, its just a pounding on every single quarter note. There should still be depth to the sound, but the melody needs to be what's moving the music, not the chords. I know you're limited by an electronic piano, but if you listen for it, you'll be able to do it. Follow the slurs in the score to help you make the phrasing decisions.
very good .... i think your version of op 28 no 20 is the best one in youtube!!! its sounds so aggressiv and i like that (the other sound more happy..:( ).... so i like your version ^^
the best part is from 0:40 to 0:50, the descending chord progression is awesome. But I find that the 3rd chord in that progression works better as a F half diminished 7 with a B root, as opposed to the B diminished 7 that Chopin uses. In other words, change the D in that chord to a D#. I think it sounds much better.
I'm sure there's a reason. I'm looking at chord structure only, with no melody. Add the melody and I wouldn't be surprised if that D# clashed horribly. But if you wanted to just take these chords, play 'em on the guitar in some sort of rocking fashion, the F half diminished 7/B is definitely the way to go.
it's ok.. keep playing, check the notes you play, and try to keep a rythm. Look the Tempo, you're very slow. It doesn't seem like a song. Search some continuity, basicaly in the beggining.
It seems that some people are just trying to help... sure, others might be leaving mean comments but some of this advice really could improve someones skills... after all, it's disrespectful to a composer not to play their pieces the way they originally wanted....
Me N'Longa. me great juju-man. This one and his fellows understand not my prickly sarcasm. ha!
now you call me pompous. I call this one phlegmatic as a shard of silicon. Find humour in my post. not... "snobby dickbutts." A critic criticizes a critic's criticisms.
Me can play this better. you need quieter in second bar. make the intermediate transitions between chords more syncopated. More crescendo! Me like to stick some rubato in for the heck of it but that is just I.
you speed up a little on the mezzo-piano section, no need. Very even playing though with no mistakes! let the chords ring a little more as somebody said before.
and your point? god man, let someone have just 1 minute of fame, a minutes where they can be recognized. Your criticism was very useless for everyone. but yes, the song is a bit overplayed, but should that stop you from enjoying it? you knew what it was by the title, if you don't like it, don't watch it.
Good job, but I think you are playing way too fast...This piece needs to breath, since its mostly large chords, slower playing will let the chords ring out a bit more. IMO
How do know that Chopin didn't intend for it to be...as it was to be played like a funeral march? Though his music is technically demanding, its style emphasizes nuance and expressive depth rather than technical virtuosity. You are right!
Regarding the question of E natural or E flat at the top of the last chord in bar 3, my edition (edited by Willard A Palmer, Alfred CD edition) says "According to the editors of the Oxford edition, Chopin is supposed to have added a flat sign before the E in a copy belonging to one of his pupils. It does not appear in the Autograph or the original editions." (Autograph meaning the hand-written score from Chopin.)
You are very cute! Youre neck is very nice, but this is chopin! You cant play it on this kind of piano like autist! I am sure that you really dont know what the real music is! I'm sorry

I love this song, it just feels a little too fast for some reason.

that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard....that has nothing to do w/ how the pianist plays!

YOu have great muscles in your fingers. It hurts me to stretch mine to play this piece. You are very, very good. One of my favorites.

It seems that some people are just trying to help... sure, others might be leaving mean comments but some of this advice really could improve someones skills... after all, it's disrespectful to a composer not to play their pieces the way they originally wanted....

Wrong. I didn't criticize your criticisms Captain Shitstains, I merely criticized you.
However, you were right, I didn't catch your sarcasm cuz it's a little hard on the internet.

Me isn't the only way to interpret the music, don't be a snobby dickbutt and let him play the song his own way.

Me N'Longa. me great juju-man. This one and his fellows understand not my prickly sarcasm. ha!
now you call me pompous. I call this one phlegmatic as a shard of silicon. Find humour in my post. not... "snobby dickbutts." A critic criticizes a critic's criticisms.

Me can play this better. you need quieter in second bar. make the intermediate transitions between chords more syncopated. More crescendo! Me like to stick some rubato in for the heck of it but that is just I.

you speed up a little on the mezzo-piano section, no need. Very even playing though with no mistakes! let the chords ring a little more as somebody said before.

and your point? god man, let someone have just 1 minute of fame, a minutes where they can be recognized. Your criticism was very useless for everyone. but yes, the song is a bit overplayed, but should that stop you from enjoying it? you knew what it was by the title, if you don't like it, don't watch it.

you know what you want to play, but you are not playing the real chords, read the sheet music carefully again

Good job, but I think you are playing way too fast...This piece needs to breath, since its mostly large chords, slower playing will let the chords ring out a bit more. IMO
Still nice job.

I think you played very mechanic and expressiveless, but, is technically good.
LM1350 4 years ago 2
How do know that Chopin didn't intend for it to be...as it was to be played like a funeral march? Though his music is technically demanding, its style emphasizes nuance and expressive depth rather than technical virtuosity. You are right!

Regarding the question of E natural or E flat at the top of the last chord in bar 3, my edition (edited by Willard A Palmer, Alfred CD edition) says "According to the editors of the Oxford edition, Chopin is supposed to have added a flat sign before the E in a copy belonging to one of his pupils. It does not appear in the Autograph or the original editions." (Autograph meaning the hand-written score from Chopin.)
