Yundi Li - Chopin "Fantasie" Impromptu, Op. 66

Of course no video collection would be complete without the cliche Yundi Li video of him playing Chopin's "Fantasie" Impromptu in C-sharp minor, Op. 66 No. 4 This is one of my favorite pieces.

did you know: Chopin hated this piece? He composed it when he was just 24 and regretted it ever after.

PLEASE DO NOT POST SLANDEROUS, RUDE, OR RACIST COMMENTS ON MY VIDEOS. IF I SEE IT, I WILL DELETE IT AND BAN YOU.

GROW UP SOME.

I can play 0:12-0:16

[Raoul Akhtar]

One of the greatest classical works that I've ever heard.

[JDrazil88]

Just semantics. You're right though. This Chopin piece, although in the Romantic era, is considered a classic.  Where George is coming from is what the general population base the definition of the word Classical when talking about music. Is it because of the age and mastery that this piece is considered "Classical," or is it because it doesn't have any lyrics? If based on the latter, I would find it weird to call Hans Zimmer or certain Frank Zappa pieces as Classical.

youre just a fucking troll

[johnlamlt]

The only parts that I really enjoy are 0:12-1:11 and 3:24-5:01 :P

[Raoul Akhtar]

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but although this piece may've come from the romantic era as opposed to the classical era, all of it together still comes under the music genre called "classical"... Please correct me if I'm wrong...

[Chiara Bevan]

omg the only part i can play is the first chord at the start and the next four bars but i can not play it that fast

[George II]

This piece isn't classic but romantic.

[Raoul Akhtar]

... Listening to Liebestraum right now... It's very nice...

[Rev. R.L. Moncriffe]

This rendition is typical. We must remember to reach the listener. To convey with our instrument the purpose for which the composition is written to our best ability.

dumb comment but I do love liebestraum

[wasdwasdsemag]

NO, Liebestraum by Liszt is better.
