kinda the first time I'm hearing that beautiful waltz played at that speed....but I'm strangely like it. It makes the melody more romantic. Very nice performance!
I call this Chopin waltz: "The Waltz of the Drunken Parisians" He sounds as if he were drunk while writing it! But its still one of my favorite Chopin's.
Fryderyk Chopina hated all the lingering and "ritardato" playings on his compositions. He said it frequently to his students. he loves rubatto instead.
Tough. He's dead so we can do whatever we like with his work. Just like some people hate it when capital letters are missed off the beginning of sentences but you chose to do so. That's your choice.
@throwscats ..... wow 2 years ago.. i didn't even know that i liked classical music 2 years ago. anyway i've become more open to interpretations since then.... and i sound like a retarded 14 year old (which i was) in that comment.
@deadly990 Haha, nah. I'm in the same boat as you, really. I started listening to classical music about fourish years ago, now, and I was pretty much the same, so I get it. I would only listen to one pathetique sonata because I had a sort of music tunnel vision, for example. Now I've listened to like a billion interpretations of that one.
I still have favorites, though--Moravec for the nocturnes, for example, but Montero plays a mean d-flat nocturne, so that's an exception.

I do agree that he played it kind of slow; it feels almost like a nocturne this way. Not that that's a bad thing, but this one is supposed to be a bit faster, for sure. Beautiful playing nonetheless.
such a wonderful interpetation :D why do you not play the classical piano but you play the electronic one ?

@DarknessL12 Good question. Probably my favorite waltz by him, though. Very soothing.

some of these posthumous opuses contain some of Chopin's best work. Reaching for heavenly tones towards the end of his earthly life.

Waaay too slow... This is supposed to be tempo giusto. Chopin waltzes aren't for dancing but you certainly play it like it should be.

Not at all. Listen to Ashkenazy.

@deadly990 Lol, that's not true, Rubenstein plays this faster and it sounds absolutely wonderful. Listen to it :P It's beautiful.

Alright! We haven't seen a Chopin piece in
months. I have enjoyed your venture into other
composers, but it is your Chopin that I
particularly love. You always play Chopin
beautifully; exactly the way I would play it,
if I had your skill and talent.
Anyway, thanks for posting this beautiful
waltz!
