Chopin - Prelude in E minor (Op. 28 No. 4)

Short prelude, easy to play, however, emotionally difficult. I think I sort of got the emotion down...


Well anyway, I learned this piece a few days ago and decided to play it for YouTube. Comments and critiques are welcome.

I love the song choice(one of chopin's best). You would like seeing horowitz do chopin. And a friend of mine from Europe, Nuccio Trotta, puts a different tone to chopin slightly(he is one of my friends on youtube). Freddy Kempf does a great job of Chopin also. The songs to look out for are Chopin's waltzs, ballades, nocturne, Barcarolles, and preludes of course... One title specifically that you would probably be astonished at his Revolutionary Etude.

Ah yeah. The Revolutionary Etude is insane... I still have to polish that one up. Still in the process of it... but at least I finally finished learning it. =)

I've heard of Nuccio Trotta, he is amazing. =)

You did just well for how long you have been playing. To be constructive though, It was very robotic, as in the tempo stayed the same very much, the dynamics didn't really clearly change. Your fingers need to curve more(that helps when playing a bit faster), but you can interpret this however you choose(that's half of playing the classic's!).

[LonePianist3]

I do agree on what you said... honestly, I still don't think I can play this song that well. But I'll remember to curve my fingers more when playing this song the next time. Thanks for the advice!

Neatly played:)

IMHO it would be better if left hand sounded more calmly then right one especially in the culmination)

[LonePianist3]

More calmly? Okay, I'll keep that tip in mind the next time I play it. Thanks!

[xCristianAndres]

There are so many mistakes!

[Camilliya]

I think you got a few notes wrong somewhere around 1:08, but I could be mistaken. Otherwise, very well played, I've learned this myself a while ago. Great tempo too, many youtubers play it way too fast in my opinion.

Love Chopin, nice playing.

If you really can't read music all that well, then you're doing a fine job with this piece.  Most students have a very difficult time memorizing this piece due to all of the chord changes and chromaticism.

Very good :)Learning this right now.. And I think you had the right tempo. It is the same tempo as the pro's. I have seen on youtube!! Only tip is little calmer tuch, and it will be perfect. But hey, 5st is well deserved! :) Keep it up =)

Very nice, I can tell you are enjoying your music, it has given me a lot of pleasure all my life, Chopin is a favourite of mine also.This Prelude should be played a little slower, your last three chords were perfect,keepup the good work. Don 2473922
