Chopin-Ballade No. 4

Darr Wise

Beautiful playing! Thanks so much!

Beautiful playing. Nice sound for Chopin. Her interpretation commands the listener's attention, which is a mark of a good artist. However, she seems to have difficulties prolonging the long lines in this piece. There are times that certain phrases sounded stitched together, making them sound not completely satisfying. Also, she makes physical movts that sometime do not reflect the music. And whenever she does, she misses notes. Overall, it was a fine performance of a very difficult piece.

cut is because of youtube timing 10 min long, and this is over a little bit, sos sorry, I had to cut...

I believe youtube has extended their video lengths. Would love to hear the ending someday! She was my teacher back in grad school ccm in late 90's

Beautiful playing, but why the cut? Can we not get her playing the complete Ballade?

Wow!  This is stunning. I have not heard her play for ages... I cannot imagine Gm being better--I'd love to hear it. Congratulations to her!

Absolutely a wonderful sound and feeling for this music. She really becomes part of the music. She does make some decisions, which I personally think just do not work. But the overall statement quite stunning.

Don't miss her Chopin Ballad No. 1 in G minor, performed 1 yaer ago. It was much better

Finally we get to see both of you playing online. Fantastic.... The artistry is superb...

Brilliant! Thank you for posting.
