This is the master peace of chopin. And Nade your performance was beautiful. Just out of curiosity, how many months practiced it?.

[NadejdaVlaeva]

Thanks, I don't think I have the answer because it is a piece that I have played then left for a while, then played again, I really don't keep count on how long I have practiced it.

do you get tired playing hard pieces? i need tips on increasing stamina

[NadejdaVlaeva]

It is normal to get tired if you are deeply and emotionally involved in a performance.

Play the entire piece a few times in a row now and then while trying to achieve your best performance for the level you are at. Then play for people.

You may still get tired but it will increase your stamina.

Observe your posture and breathing too.

ahhhhhhhhhmazing. i'm looking for a big piece to play for next year. It sounds like this piece has tonss of big chords in it; my hands are pretty small, do you have an opinion on that? Also, did learning this piece take lots of time? I also have a jam-packed schedule, so idk if i'll be able to do it. Amazing performance, wonderful emotion, and graceful movement! =]]

[NadejdaVlaeva]

Thanks!

Chopin in general requires bigger hands, but I have known some smaller hands to handle challenges miraculously. The best thing is to try and play through it. As for the time, it is repetitive but has some tricky spots. Depends on the level you want to achieve. The more time the better!

its true that beauty comes with talent =)

10/10

however, i think that theres a slight lag between the audio and the video? correct me if im wrong...

I don't know what to say. orchestra started off slow and made a huge mistake in the end. Conductor is the one should be blamed.

Wow.... Very beautiful performance NadejdaVlaeva! :)

[Agomongo1235]

thumbs up if u came from the pianist!

[Vidrumcuar01]

esta música toca todos los sentimientos, ríes, lloras, te enamoras, te enfureces, te apasiona, te hace imponente, te hace vulnerable, tantas cosas al mismo tiempo, eso es Chopin :)

I have listened to as many Chopin compositions as I can get my hands on and somehow either forgot this one or missed it. What a beautiful piece of music and spectacular performance!!!

Beautiful music that stirs my soul, beautifully played by a beautiful woman. A true gem out of the millions of shabby, mindless Youtube videos. Thanks.

so neglected in the piano and orchestra version and so seldom played.
