  • All those youngsters who play this piece at about the same time - and for the same technical purpose - as Chopin's op. 25 no. 2 should listen to this and learn. It's not a velocity exercise!!! It's great music, as Kempff so powerfully reminds us.

  • Incredibly soft and melodic play, effortless

    and delightfully charming.

  • Delightful! A master pianist at the keyboard!

  • @mario54671

    Lol, you're correcting a two year old comment....

    I know... lol.

  • @hellomate639 Movements?  They're separate impromptus. :P

  • This is just perfect

    

  • A lovely recording! Why with 17,000 views only 53 likes?? I have given mein..

  • well... even chopin's op25 no.2 has musical meanings in those triplets... so young pianists should bring out those musical qualities and not use these so called "show-off" pieces to inflate their egos...

  • Absolutely beautiful. What a master!

  • THIS is how it should be played.

    It is NOT a jumble of notes. It is a piece of music that actually has a melodic line...if the player cares to find it.

    Which I find rarely happens...except for here!! Now Kempff is a genius. And I mean genius.

  • This is really lovely; a performance that doesn't turn this into a goddamn etude and a slur of triplets that lesser musicians think should be played as quickly as they can muster to show off their "ability" (the opposite becomes the case).

    I particularly like how Kempff finds hidden melodic lines within the triplet passages.

    I've heard so many mediocre performances of this lately, I started thinking the piece was at fault. I'm glad I came across this.
