Evgeny Kissin plays Grand waltz op.34 no.1

[mikimini2]

I love playing this piece! Its was very challenging, but I enjoy what I am playing

[danielaprettygirl]

after listening to many interpretations, how can someone who doesn't play piano know how the original partitura is? how can I know who is closest to Chopin's original? it's my curiosity to know how he wanted it to be

[luckyanna007]

@danielaprettygirl I have only heard one version of this particular waltz that I think is correct and accurate to how it was written. I am a pianist, and I play this piece. I heard the version on 98.1 King FM. I don't like how Evgeny Kissin plays any of Chopin's Waltzes. He plays them fragmented and wrong. He is NOT a good representation of how Chopin should be played, nor is Lang Lang. Lang Lang speeds through all of his pieces, rushing and banging.

can someone who plays paino answer me? I don't know anything about playing an instrument,I don't even know to read a partiture but I have good ''ear'',I can make the difference among interpretations and I don't understand how different pianists can play different, I mean some make many pauses,some play the same part softly and others not that soft. Is it possible to know how the composer wanted it?

[luckyanna007]

@danielaprettygirl To continue my post, the only way to really tell how a piece should be played is to go to the original sheet music and actually learn it and play it. This is how I do it. I have also been playing for 17 years. Sometimes it is something that just takes experience. Thank you for your question though, it was a great question to ask! :-) I hope this helps answer it.

[AyzieBone]

@danielaprettygirl Yes, up to a certain point. When you'll learn how to read a partition you'll notice that there are several indications as how the composer wants it to sound such as the intensity of the notes, the pedals, the pauses and the overall flow of the notes. Having a good ''ear'' has nothing to do with this. A good ear means you can identify single notes as well as chords relatively easily. Hope it helped ;)

i'm not sure but i think he left a few notes out of the piece... and his interpretation of the mood of the piece isn't that accurate compared to lang lang or horowitz.

[TheR3volutionary]

@Musicownz1997 Interpretation of the piece is a subjective action.

[MEpianist]

I love the key of Ab, but I don't subscribe to any sort of Russian tonal mapping or have perfect pitch. I just think I like what Chopin wrote in Ab and somehow that rubbed off on me.

[hansonian81]

@MEpianist I also love Ab, and Eb. They go together like fine wine and cheese.

[OBEID1988]

Kissin is a very good pianist (y) he has a great hands i like to hear his play :)

[SweatyMr1975]

Playing this piece is like playing a sport! 4:35. Amazing!
