Chopin - Op 10 No 3 in E Major

[ToggleErol]

"Since there are only two videos on youtube with this song in it, I decided to make another!"

That makes 3 vids. Yeah, i'm a maths killer..

[AbbyLouiseCooper]

My favourite :)

[DJHiso]

POLACY BĄDŹCIE DUMNI Z TEGO KIM JESTEŚCIE !!!!

[vahlrog]

The pianist is Maurizio Pollini.

[colourfulwithaU]

@vahlrog

Are you sure?

[Girgirl486]

wow! Chopin just makes me melt!

[sophocha]

I always get goosebumps whenever I hear this song.I used to play it on my accordion when I was little.

[Persiandude933]

i love the beggining...its soo smooth and relazing

[nezkikool]

Exquise esquisse, délicieuse enfant, ma chair et mon sang...

[l123321]

chopin rula, hahahaha

[dancemonkey1313]

is this hard??

[migas28]

@dancemonkey1313

yes, it's harder than it seems... listen from 1:40 (it get's real hard from there)

[janahelo]

Chopin invariavelmente divino!

[LeMarxNouveau]

Lemon Incest!

[poulicheinwonderland]

Sublime.

[defern64]

Ugh, I'm having such a tough time making it legato. Hopefully people realize this is supposed to be done with little to no use of the sustain pedal.

[ahmadaz96001]

anyone can tell me any modern pianist/composer that writes and play good nocturnes?? i wanna look them up

[maiconmagoo]

muito belo som mesmo

[cfranck9]

This must be Maurizio Pollini's.

[kingjepoy]

this sounds very much like Peter Serkin's interpretation. still as beautiful as the first time i heard it.

[VivaLaTrumpet]

FMA Brotherhood is best show EVER!

[123pelerin]

Chopin was incredible.

[dberry02jr]

@123pelerin

You mean, "Chopin IS incredible."

[Carrots1919]

i can play this! boo-yah!

[viveauch]

reprise du thème par Serge Gainsborug dans Lemon Incest. Grandiose!

[Anders1135]

Good musical piece, i used to play that on the TUBA a lot in my school band

[uhkakoy]

прекрасно исполнено и впечатлительно

[uhkakoy]

впечатлительно прекрасно исполнено

[xkcdHatGuy]

Beautiful...I feel so calmed yet focused.

[hinatamercury]

how is the name "chopin" pronounced? in la corda they were pronouncing it as "schau-pan"....err somewhere close to that and i only understood that they were talking about chopin when i saw the music sheet

this was in the english dub of the anime

[detectivepope]

@hinatamercury that is how you say his name, not "chop-in" as it is spelt

[peaceric]

@hinatamercury

the first syllable is pronounced "show" and the second syllable is kind of tough to convey in english, but i suppose you could write it: pa(n). i put the n in parentheses because it's more of a nasally sound than an actual 'n' sound

[hinatamercury]

@peaceric oh i see :) thanks i stand corrected :D

[peaceric]

@hinatamercury no problem!

[hosegood3]

Love that Chopin. I can play Prelude (Raindrop) op. 28, no. 15 in D Flat major. I adore that one and this one.

[aalg4c]

about a month ago i said this piece bores me, because i do not understand it, but now, it mystifies and captivates me, the way the movements are set out, its like wonderful and well pretty cool....

[Canonindxxx]

wow, this starts off subtle, and goes crazy but somehow maintains the flow

[61550LizziE]

Stunning! Thank you for posting this beautiful classic.

[JedyContess]

besides fma, if you listen to it from 2:40 to 3:20 it's really like Gankutsuou opening. totally.

[gre68]

speechless...beautiful

[advisorC101]

Who is playing here?

[Blackhuak]

Alfonzo de la Laquinta se Harlo

[nekoyukikawaiii]

a song very beautifull T-T

[hadabadeh]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

to fast in my opinion

[A7XRules4life]

I think Eternal Sonata is a good game for Chopin fans except the dungeons can be confusing.

[Diana8453]

I love that game. Unfourtunatly, it's my brother's and he won't let me play it and I don't have a ps3, AND he won't let me so much as touch his. Those suckers are like, $400.

[belvitah]

i was shocked that this was played on fma.. since i can barely play this song.. thanks for posting..

[aalg4c]

I know this piece, it sorta bores me, i like the black keys etude and the revolutionary etude...

maybe i dont understand this piece in order to get a full apreciation of it

[TheBeerNut1]

@aalg4c : You said it best....you don't understand it !!!

[aalg4c]

@TheBeerNut1 at least i am honest about it, this piece truly mystifies me, the way the movement changes so exquisitely.. if i could write like this i would be amazed.. and pretty damn good

[aalg4c]

now it fascinates me, how strange... my mind is truly weird

[PianoSoulos]

This Etude is supposed to be quick, almost Presto speed according to Chopin.

[Nicolasduca]

I play this on my violin sometimes. Cool song.

[joshuakoski1]

i like it. i compare it to moonlight sonata by beethoven. this piece being more happier indeed.

[SyCo888]

A bit quick, but still a great song. Loved this on FMA(Best anime ever)

[Beyerful]

chopin was on an anime? ZOMG he is that much more awesome now!

[Shimraeen]

@SyCo888 Wow this was on FMA ...I don't remember it...but FMA is really awesome !!!! Another famous piece was used in another anime called Ouran High School Host Club..the piece is: Mozart Sonata for Two Pianos in D, K. 448; 1st movement; Perahia & Lupu...I love that piece as well as this one...so beautiful... :)

[temarigirl160]

@SyCo888 :D it is the best anime ever, I loved this scene in FMA as well,it's sad...

[blackrose2748]

@SyCo888 it was on FMA? what episode?

[SyCo888]

@blackrose2748 The last one, where envy goes through the gate. IN the first one, though, not in brotherhood.

[emrox61]

@SyCo888 NO WAY THIS WAS ON FMA?!?!?!?!?!?! I NEVER NOTICED!!!!! Ahahaha and correction, FMA is not the best. FMA:B is :D hehe, Classical+Anime=WIN, no?

[SyCo888]

@emrox61 I kinda liked the direction the first one took a little better than what was in brotherhood and the manga, but they're both great animes. Amd yes it is win, it really makes those tense moments really epic.

[emrox61]

@SyCo888 Oh wow really? Hehe, and yes, the complete FMA series is amazing. You're actually the 1st person I've heard that likes the first better than the second, so I must say, congrats to you for being unique :D I'm just another one of the crowd haha...

[colourfulwithaU]

This was played a little too quickly, but to each their own. It's still pretty.

[ghosteck33]

genialne

[Patryk90able]

Swietny utwór porusza sarce

[Zodiarkz]

The performer rushed through the dissonant part and ruined the feeling of despair and crushing sorrow. Other than that it was played admirably! Well done!

[lovediegoyroberta]

i,loveit!

[yjn0414]

i heard this tone a lot in animes..so many that i cannot even recall one of their names..ending at death note maybe?

[lollerskates1992]

it was in FMA i'm pretty sure

[Geass300]

it was in FMA i just realized that lol

[lollerskates1992]

yea it really fit the ending well

[megacrazy04]

it was in La Corda D'oro only that version was done on violin :D

[Buggaton]

It's most famously used (and stolen) in Full Metal Alchemist towards the end of the series. It's called "Wakare no Kyoku" which roughly translates as "Song of Parting" as a piano piece that entirely misses out the dissonant section we hear in the middle of chopin's work. It (Wakare no Kyoku) is also done orchestrally and is equally as beautiful. Almost makes me weep when I hear it, especially given what happens as it begins to play.

[ShippuudenSpirit]

i wouldn't really say its specifically stolen considering they not only cut out a third of the song but completely changed the songs key...it really is so so sad when it starts to play on FMA i think they translated it into a sadder version perfectly...they're both very pretty...

[Buggaton]

It's legal as the piece is older than 50 years and it's a great piece in it's own right but you cannot deny that it's been pilfered XD

If I changed the key of the 1812 overture and removed the first 11 minutes so it was just the balls tighteningly fantastic finale would that not be stolen either?

[SirenitaGalactica67]

me encantooo!!!

[NATHALIAJBS]

Excelente, no hay muchas palabras para describir tantas sensaciones

[Rizahawk]

Anime really does educate you in music.

At the end of the FullMetal Alchemist movie, this song plays. I knew it the instant I heard it.

I love this song. It's beautiful. <3

[AvrilLavigneFan4eva3]

its actually in the last episode xD

In the movie they lay Larc-en-ciel's or something like that :P

[Rizahawk]

Oh, really?

Not that I think about it, you're right. But I wasn't talking about the credits part of the movie, but before that. But that's with the funeral and everything...

My bad!

[shakinbakecookies]

omg this music can relax and calm my nerves like no other peice can! i love it thanks for the post

[jlmusicfan57]

Beautiful arrangement by one of the greatest piano composers in the history of music. Ironically, the beginning of this song can be seen being performed in the beginning of an old 1970's Columbo episode starring Peter Falk.

[miliona1re]

It seems to me this is Pollini from the cd of etudes.

[aBitterKiss]

there's a song with words, based on this song... back in the 1950s or 1960s.

"No Other Love" by Jo Stafford. :)

[Gutelimpa]

brb gonna learn this

[100irissa]

this is the most wondeful piece of Chopin.

[wariogod]

why the fake sky and clounds picture?

[ragtimesamtime]

why not?

[wariogod]

sorry my dad put this comeent in.

it really annoys me when he put comment on my user. anyway i like the cloud effect

[ipwnallnubscuzirock]

It's not fake, you can see it right? then its a picture! lol

[wariogod]

...

[ipwnallnubscuzirock]

Thats right I went there.

[wariogod]

lol bye

[TengokuTenshi1]

NEED'S MORE TOWLES

[shlaamz]

1 of my ALL TIME fav classical pieces EVR!!!

[TengokuTenshi1]

indeed, but you fail on spelling ever

[titanicpiano14]

This is one of my favorite Chopin pieces. I liked it so much that I deided to create a parody of this song! Check out my parody video of Op 10 No 3!

[SillyGrandpa]

Chopin was thinking of Poland when he composed this piece. It reflects sadness at the situation of Poland as a partitioned nation during the 1800's. This sadness (tristesse) also applied to him personally while he lived in France. Chopin spent the first 20 years of his short life in Poland. His love was always for Poland and his inspiration came from there.

[LittleMissQuack]

i love this song <3

[comunistoidee91]

increíble....

[MarcelleCherie]

Merci pour ce bel instant musical. J'adore la musique de Chopin et Tristesse en particulier.

[bgviktor]

why don't you put some of your works here so we can compare you to Chopin and decide which one of you is better composer?

[AresAstragali]

Chopin really screwed it at 1:40. Showing how well you can play the piano is just plain stupidity. Music is an art, not a sport.

[joule162534]

it's an etude....

[AvidHobbyist]

I actually love that section of dissonance. But I admit, it does need some getting used to.

[shakinbakecookies]

u say that a lot, "Music is an art, not a sport" and i do agree with u that it is an art. and this piece is a great representation of that. i dont think that the mood and tempo change was a mistake on Chopins part, or that he was showing off rather that he was expressing himself, the way that artists do. to me, this peice shows a happy calming melody that picks up and falls, into depression and then chaos and calms again, bringings a final hope in the end.

[shakinbakecookies]

it could be describing anytype of realtionship or life dramas and troubles.

each peice of music tells a story, and if u listen well enough u will be able to understand it.

(then again classical may not be your type of music, i dont know) ;P

[AresAstragali]

A beautiful piece of music, one that I've heard many times. It is a real shame that Chopin screwed it up at 1:40. Truly a shame. I would've continued the sad theme, instead of turning it into an abomination that I heard. Honestly, being a show off how well you can play the piano is just plain stupidity. Music is an art, not a sport.

[musicalilla]

wonderful

[mkscfan]

it sounds like you're going through all your memories while you're walking down a sunset path in a park or on a beach

[lakerschemical1990]

Maurizio Pollini! ! !

[Oathblivion]

I just finished learning Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2, and thought that it was one of the most beautiful melodies I had ever heard. It still is, but this Etude is even better. Just discovered it, now I must learn it. *goes to practice*

[junbug1112]

beautifully composed what a masterpiece of music brings a tear to my eye. makes you wonder the meaning of what life truly is and it effects you and everyone else that you know chopin truly you are my hero and will always remain my hero till death

[TheWorstNightmare12]

love this song... many emotions in it... =3

[gatorsrok123]

your smily looks like a penis lol but none the less Mozart was amazing great music

[dragon84209]

Mozart?

[TheWorstNightmare12]

wadever...

[Channibis]

hey dude its chopin not mozart, if it was mozart there would be an orchestra to play his music.

[TheWorstNightmare12]

yeah, it would... but i didn't say it was Mozart...

[Dfireanime13]

TheWorstNightmare12,

I don't think they were responding to your comment. They were responding to gatorsrok who responded to your comment.

[TheWorstNightmare12]

yeah cuz he/she (i'm guessing he)

started saying that mozart created this...

btw, it doesn't really matter...

[soniamazzoli1994]

Ah, Song of farewell, bellissima!

Ti fa sentire depressa e allo stesso momento spensierata!

[Gber213]

Chopin is better than that.  He's The Poet of the Piano.

[mehmedduric]

Can you tell me who is playing this? This is my favorite version of this Chopin's Etude, so I am curious to know who is playing.

[pinkchic2]

i think this is one of those recorded/studio like versions...

[FF4eternity]

Sounds like ...Stanislav Burnin's but im not sure of it, or how to spell his name either =]

[ianeisenhut]

Sgt. Pepper ended in E major

[fendergasm]

someone said E maj is the scale of deep thought.. or so wikipedia says.

[lookscudkill]

Regal, simple yet packed with comfort and emotion. A gift from God.

[wacoskater123]

it's like a sneek peak of heaven in a heavenly melody!!

[duketter]

God in sound.

[Karime18]

I thank God for Chopin and his talented brain! I love his music, just simply beautiful! Not enough words to describe.

[Glassphxie]

i am madly in love with this.

[Dunmare]

I feel Nostalgic whenever i hear this piece and i just want to cry but afterwords i still smile. This piece feels like a sorrowful glance back at what was, despair at what is and hope in what will be.

haha if that makes any sense.

[q1w2e3r4t5y6gerble]

no way Chopin is great but Beethoven is king

[OhMaiGawdOMG]

i like mozart better but who the hell cares about what i say XD

[Nodeal79]

This is my mom's favourite piano peice

[rock8architect]

I agree !! =]

[EvangelinaAthanasia]

Same here

[lidiaruth]

It's so breathtakingly beautiful.

[Egalomat13]

Absolut Great ....

Biggest composer ever ..

[vamkn]

It is so beautiful

[chstar]

I remember the first time I heard this I was watching the ending to "Fullmetal Alchemist" and thought it was so beautiful and searched endlessly for the title, and glad I found a vid that has it on here clearly without fuss or anything

thanks!

[cescobar1]

I honsetly think of the whole life cycle when I hear this piece...starts out as beauty...the middle is turmoil...then back to beauty...the song comes full circle just as life does. Magnificent.

[jambostringo]

my thoughts exactly!

[veryhighsamurai]

This is my dirge. called it. oooh what now!

[Dionysus92]

A wise choice for a dirge. I predict there will be many tears.

[lifesblood666]

"Actually I think the first place I heard Beethovens 9th was Evangelion when I was 9, so basically follows the same principle. Plus when my dad used to beat my mom, my sister would play Beethoven to calm me down. That probably supremely fucked me up... that and way to much exposure to Vonnegut."

Ha ha fuck you, gundam. I love it when people try to garner sympathy over Youtube, and stupid assholes actually sympathize with them. It's pretty pathetic. Get lives, you fucking idiots!

[Lifegoesongundam]

And it is much more glorious to bitch over what others do over youtube. You are the winner, good sir. You're own insecurities are minimized and I bow to your superiority.

I'm going to stop replying on this video. The comments are drifting off topic and I'd rather we stopped detracting from this masterpiece.

[huangtonsoup]

I don't think about death when I listen to this. Rather, I feel the beauty of the world and the ability to experience love despite all the turmoil and chaos.

[xbadmintoner]

More Than Mere Exercises --- In Chopin's 27 Etudes, technique and music become one.

Byron Janis. W.S.J.11/15/08. pg. W.11

"Chopin resented his pieces being given names. "Let them dream what they want." But publishers knew it increased sales, so every etude was named (not by Chopin)"Chopin said about "Tristesse" (Sadness), "Never in my life could I again find such a beautiful theme." Technically, the difficulty is to play both the theme and its accompaniment with one hand."

[renoufarnold]

i agree this music kind of reminds me of a journey to your ultimate resting place...there are parts of turbulence like when the music is loud,and the dynamics change, but it always leads back to that soft, beautiful rhythm. 2:17 is the best part in this piece. he transtition is so beautiful. I want to hear this song only at my wedding, and when my time comes and i face my inevitable death

[antoneurng]

how noble.... lol, yo best part is 3:10.. cmon, ya'll know nothing, I can read that.

[1992peter]

This is the music i want played for my Feneral when I pass.

[qzstuffs]

beautiful...=)

[korujc]

I like this version~ who was it played by?~

[Lifegoesongundam]

I always feel like this is the music an honest man hears before being ushered into a peaceful death. So full of pain, yet reconciled.

Of course instead of the usual triumph everyone else seems to see in Beethoven's 9th I see mass destruction, murder, rape, and the end of the world. I'm odd that way.

[antoneurng]

lifegoesongundam, it's because you've seen too much Clockwork Orange, didnt you, raper?

[Lifegoesongundam]

Actually I think the first place I heard Beethovens 9th was Evangelion when I was 9, so basically follows the same principle. Plus when my dad used to beat my mom, my sister would play Beethoven to calm me down. That probably supremely fucked me up... that and way to much exposure to Vonnegut.

[huangtonsoup]

Man do I feel sorry for you. It must have been hard for your sister to play Beethoven honestly while supressing all the sorrows within her and trying to relieve your pains, a big burden for her. It must have been hard for you to see you sister in pain and the horrifying scenes of abuse. Not all of Beethoven's pieces are elegiac. I think you might find Beethoven's 2nd movement of Pathetique something different.

[crazedaf]

lol, exposure to Vonegut, the man's book's are a great read.

[goordita]

hermosa melodia , me acongoja el corazon

[tvbpie]

where can i get the musical sheet for free?plz tell me a website for this

[X52SY]

Really beautiful Chopin's etude. One of my favourite renditions on youtube is played by an unknown pianist called Nuccio Trotta. That's a pianist worth listening in to. That's why I say everyone's reading this comment: please watch his channel (seven65' channel) Thanks!

[XYZ8]

Po prostu... polska nuta...

[WhiteMageGarnet]

ahhh..such relaxing music..it makes me emotional though D:

[RfatimaS]

Convincente para uma declaração de amor.
