  • How wonderful he plays the tender, delicate melody, doubled in the left hand from time to time, and then as a big contrast the passionate outburst, a real storm. And the great transition leading again to the same peaceful sunny landscape...another aspect of Richter: the poet.

  • my fav pianist, and a lovely work. thank you

  • @charmingemily: considering this was written in 1830-1831, when Chopin was leaving/had just left Poland, the latter seems sensible. But, since his works from around this time still had "youthful energy", the longing and sadness are probably not profound

  • Thank you for this truecrypt.

  • @jambilove : Analyse and then play !

  • What is causing the bell like jingly tone with the piano - is it prepared piano or not a piano but some other instrument?

  • the first time I heard this piece (not a good interpretation) I thought it has a pure and innocent feel.

    Hearing richter's interpretation I hear more longing and a little sadness.

    What feeling is this piece suppose to have?

  • what do you mean?

  • If it is indeed the 1966 recording - then it was recorded in Ferrara, Italy

  • i tried to play this one. the middle is deceptively difficult. i didn't have the hand strength at the time. maybe one day. it's amazing the tempo changes he wrote into the piece...from antante cantabile to con fuoco back to tempo 1.

  • same as what pogorelich does with ballade 2

  • What is he doing with the timeflow... it s unbelievable
