Please stop commenting shit about the speed. Chopin wrote Largo on this, and this means a tempo beetween 45-50 BPM. This is around 48, calculated myself. Thanks.

I usually love Rubenstein, why is this so fast?

[natalie p]

Ohhh ok thanks! :)

[MuffenDaniel]

Mine clearly says C major. C7 actually.

@natalie p - I've heard various performences, mostly with c minor there, but there where some exepcions. I like both versions fine, play c minor myself, but still with some hesitation.

I love the tempo, playing this prelude slower totally kills it.

BPM = 66 [Check], c Major in bar 3 [Check]. So what's the problem? He plays the orginal version.

[natalie p]

At :17, that chord is supposed to be c minor, not c major...because I have the sheet music and I listened to another recordin to confirm, but its rubinstein, so im confused

[DocSardo]

Because it is a march and not a dirge? Beautiful feeling in this performance. I like it more every time I hear it.

[Denis Essiambre]

I like the way Barry Manilow played it the best LOL- just kidding- dont PM me with nasty notes folks!!!

[Riccardo Renzetti]

E' l'interpretazione data da Rubinstein a quasi tutto Chopin.Anche i Notturni sono piu' veloci rispetto alla normale partitura.In genere all'artista e' data la possibilita' di accellerare o meno l'esecuzione.Ma le note sono giuste.Credo che per te la migliore interpretazione,la piu' canonica,sia quella di Pollini.

Ciao

Way too fast! Played this in all the conservatories. Unacceptable! Although he is great this could be better! This is supposed to be one of the greatest. It still better than most can do! Some think it is easy. Well think again, it is not!
