@bsarweh1969 I agree. Not only did they sink into all the notes, but their expression was simply unbelievable.

@SpiffilyPeachy I'm happy for you. I would like to hear more about what you have learned and to see how you progress. GL with it all.

@Ianthe22 I am definitely ignorant about protocol and the history of music but I truly do appreciate your explanation. I think I just get a little exasperated and anxious when there is such a precise idea of sound I want to discover. I am happy to report that I have taken a class since then which has begun to broaden my intellect in that subject. I am also happy with that.

@SpiffilyPeachy It is an impromptu. What do you expect? Glory? Dynamic, vibrance? It should be adventurous, light hearted at times, give some clarity and have a touch of romance in it. It is his attempt of the piece. He's playing it less virtuos than most pianists these they would play it. He's sacraficing romantism for a more clear melody. He's truly in love with the piece. It's a good case for studying piano techniques. I personally don't like this performance.

Chopin is SO bel canto...

I wish I knew what piano did he play!

Hofmann possibly near the peak of his technical prowess!
His technique still astounds me, I like how he doesn't over do it, he truly knows how to make this piece beautiful without making it sound over exaggerated.

Don't get that beautiful 'rain-drop' tone from pianists today...absolutely beautiful!
