I played the minute valse before it was very hard to play for me and I didn't even finish it 😅. But I enjoyed playing it 😁

To anyone struggling to learn Chopin's pieces, just keep at it! You will get there if you want it and keep putting in the effort. Maybe not in one hour, but you'll get there. My first Chopin piece took three months, the second took a few weeks. Selection is key. I should have played the E minor Prelude before the Minute Waltz but I wanted the Minute Waltz, so it took months instead of weeks. I'm playing some exercises to prepare for Etude Op. 10 number 1 and one day I want to play the Ab Polonaise, but in the meantime I'm working on this Waltz and it's going well. Playing Chopin's music is world changing. My left finger 5 is now a beast of a bass player. My left hand is much more solid overall and I can finally play decent trills. If you're a pianist and an appreciator of Chopin's music, I highly encourage you to power through! If the suggested fingerings don't work for you, find ones that do. Watch performances, master classes and tutorials. Ask other pianists for input.

I love how if you're trying to actually dance to a fast Chopin's waltz like this one you're guaranteed to have a cramp #Chopinvalse

I heard somewhere (might be this channel actually) that Chopin’s waltzes aren’t meant to dance to but meant to depict others waltzing. You might already know but I wanted to share in case you didn’t :p

minute waltz:

I love how Chopins waltzes can range from uplifting and dainty to outright depressing. Love chopin and love this challenge series :) #Chopinvalse

I have been working on this piece for MONTHS and you still play it better than me in an hour! Your articulation is so clear and those repeated Ebs were so clean. I found it funny that you played the beginning Bbs as an octave, but still very impressive for just an hour on the piece! Definitely one of my favorites :) #ChopinValse

Yeah, not only the octaves, she's playing the quartes notes as thirds also (adding a Bb to the D and a C to the Eb)... Maybe she's reading from another edition, like it happened before with the nocturne nº1

it's fun to watch professional pianists learning pieces, it helps a lot to beginners like us in actually analysing the piece and sharpen the techniques more. Fingering always helps thanks to Annique only i started following correct fingerings. Hoping to see more. ^^ #ChopinValse

Chopin is my favorite composer and seeing/hearing young people playing his work is....music can't get any better than that. huge fan of this young lady and keep carrying his music on.

#chopinwaltz What I love about Chopin, especially in waltzes like this, is the spirit conveyed through them. This waltz is very light, cheerful and has a happy, dancing tone throughout. It almost reminds me of the Minute Waltz, where Chopin was inspired by a little dog prancing around. I love to play this waltz frequently as it is also very nostalgic, in the sense that I used to listen to it when I was small. It goes from a very light beginning, to a more slow, melodious middle section, to a small melancholic minor staccato/acciacatura part, then a repeat, then back to the original theme, and in the end, a grand finale to finish it all. I just wish that Chopin had composed many more happy, joyful pieces like this. You also did a great job trying to capture the lively character of this piece, Annique! Hope to see more.

It is such a relief to see you struggle with this one. My mom was a very good sight reader and that's always been my benchmark, but I am so glad to know that it is no shame to not have all the notes right straight away. #Chopinvalse I love this bright and happy waltz, and played it somewhat but never studied it properly. Chopin has this combination of catchy tunes with interesting harmonies and clear moods, and watching this channel has made me play his work again.

This is 100% true now. I'm literally sitting at my Piano practicing the exact same piece. I see the title of this video and I'm like "NO FUCKING WAY" 😂😭

Discovered your channel today. i love it, great energy.

I just love watching these 1 ,10 , etc performances

I've been asking for this for so longggg!

Literally my 2 months progress in 1 hour 😪Would be happy to see what you can do with Brahms Hungarian dance No. 5 or No. 4 in this challenge

I memorized this #chopinvalse a while back…I was (and am) really proud of myself, because memorization is one of my weakest skills. I loved hearing/seeing how your breadth and depth of experience, and your solid foundation of technique make such a difference in how you approach learning a piece. I always learn something new from watching you!

I wait for it for a long time. Ty

One of my favorite Chopin pieces! Annique, I really like the nautical decor you have on the window seat behind you. I love anything to do with the ocean… ships, lighthouses, pirates, sea life, etc.

she's so good i love her!!!!! yassss

Yes ! I love this one !

I LOVE THIS PEICE IM SO GLAD YOU DID THIS

I always find such joy in this piece.

i started piano this year but absolutely love it. i have an awesome teacher and just love to practice and play. i havent played a lot of Chopin, i have only played 2 preludes (op.28 no 4 and no 7) and cant say anything about his waltzes yet except from that they sounds awesome. i would love to play more of his music and i get better. i am currently playing a piece which is the first classical piece i actually listened to knowing that it is classical music and a piece that is still one of my favorites: Arabesque no 1 from Debussy. awesome video btw, always so much fun to watch your 1min 10min 1hour challenges! #Chopinvalse

Dear, I am your fan from Hong Kong! Love your videos so much! Can’t wait to see if you are doing another pieces of Chopin, the Nocturne opus 27 no.2! 😍

Amazing progress in just an hour!

I've been waiting for this one 😼

I love this Waltz and you are wonderful, Anique! You are so talented. I don't remember watching any of these challenges of you trying to play Scarlatti. I would like to ask you politely to consider playing a Scarlatti's sonata one day for this challenge. I think it would be awesome. Thank you :)

I love your videos and your personality so great 💙😃

I love Chopin’s waltz’s because they are always so lively and I always see them as something that could be used in ballet dancing or a fancy ball #chopinwaltz

Ahhh! Had we been born in a different era, learning to waltz would have been like learning to walk. I can guess that it would have just been a given that most people knew how to dance a beautiful walzt in Chopin’s day! So cool, so romantic. Loved your video-as usual. Keep it up and thank you for the inspiration. 🙏🏼🙏🏼😄😄😄😄😄

I love the range of emotions and moods in these waltzes, it's just stunning how much you can put in a single piece of this kind. #Chopinwaltz

#Chopinvalse ahh What a beautiful piece, so simply structured but meaningful at the same time. Good job Annique!

#Chopinvalse I just love Chopins waltzes, they are just so beautiful, some cheerful, some very emotional, sometimes I love dancing to Chopin waltzes because you can not only feel the music, but also release it, like hows it going through you, sharing this music with others, and filling your heart with his music. This is the case of this waltz, imma say: its hard to dance to it, but you can, it not impossible! Awesome just amazing. Masterpiece!

I always enjoy these videos; to me it's very impressive how quickly you can pick up these pieces. I suppose this comes not only from natural ability but mostly from years of practising and hard work. I have a small book of "easy" versions of a number of Chopin's pieces and there are a number of them that I enjoy playing. This one I've never learned.

Bravo! I love this piece. Chopin is my favorite composer in this genre. It remains incredible how skilled you are. Grüße aus den Niederlanden!

I really love this content and I hope you can make more videos like this, even though I don't understand much English this channel brought me a love for the piano that is hard to explain, thank you so much for these videos #Chopinvalse and say hi to me Brazil😃😃

love this video so much🥰

#chopinwaltz In his waltzes, Chopin can perfectly create pieces that completely sound like dances even though they are not meant for dancing to. This dance-like quality builds extremely beautiful and majestic music. I began to study piano on late 2020; I can play his waltz in A minor Op. Posth, and am, right now, studying the Op. 34 No. 2 in A minor

#Chopinvalse Along with Grande Valse Brillante, the Nocturne Op.9 No.2 is one of my favorite pieces by Chopin. I really enjoy your videos!! Greetings from Argentina!

#chopinvalse loving these video Annique! great insight into sight reading and practice habits

I have been learning this piece lately and the big jumps were a bit of a struggle for me too, specially near the end! I was so happy when you uploaded the video, as everyone has something new to add. I would love to see a complete performance! I'm also curious, because I'd never heard the first bars with the octave played instead of the single note. #Chopinvalse

+1 on the octave.

This waltz was one of the first pieces by chopin i got to hear. It brings a lot of memories from when i visited my aunt for a couple of days (and got to hear it there) and just conveys the happiness i felt in that time. I hold this piece very dear to my heart. What a great challenge this was! :) #Chopinvalse

The first classical piece I learn from sheet music was Chopin waltz no.19 in Aminor. I love when you do Chopin pieces he’s my favorite composer. And you play his pieces very well

#Chopinvalse I always love the quick grace notes in this piece that give it a funky vibe to me.

Congratulações por todo o esforço. Essa peça de Chopin parece ser bastante difícil. Valeu a pena acompanhar os ensaios. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

annique has the best intros on youtube edit: the triplets are always the trickiest bit

This is my favourite #Chopinvalse of them all, there is just some weird beauty in this one.

Funnily enough, I did not that this masterpiece was by Chopin! I remember listening to this piece and a variation on it composed by a friend of mine, but it never occurred to me as the style of Chopin. I love the quirkiness of this piece and how it transcends one into a bliss of joy and enthusiasm - it truly is a waltz! #Chopinvalse

Criminally underrated channel

One of the things I admire most about Chopin is that he is a great source of pride for his home country of Poland. I recently visited there and heard that, especially during Poland’s turbulent times, Chopin has been seen as a symbol for unity and hope. 🇵🇱 I also love the positivity of this piece 😁 #Chopinvalse

I'm always impressed with anyone who can pedal with bare feet. It hurts mine too much

i love this piece. very good performance

Chopin was one of the first composers that got me really into classical music. His music evokes so much emotion. Very well done. #chopinwaltz

#Chopinvalse I really love this piece i think my favourite part of it is how, as stated on its name, it sounds like it’s shinning, shimmering. It’s wonderful ! I also love the diverse mix of techniques used in this piece too !! I’d love to win the scores and try to learn it thanks.

This is definitely the next valse I'm going to learn, it sounds really cool and fun. I'm currently playing Op. 34 No. 1 and it's not easy but I just love it (like almost all of his valses) #Chopinvalse

YOU are such a joy. AND such an inspiration. Love ❤️ YOU. Thank you. ☮️ (:-)

I love what a joyous mood this #chopinwaltz conveys. I can almost imagine a ballroom of dilettantes waltzing around 200 years ago. Learning Chopin is still a challenge for me, but I am excited to add this to my repertoire.

I've "played" Op64No2 before. Really nice! When watching the 10 minute fast-forward bit, I really missed a Sims bar over your head, slowly filling up hahaha

Chopin is probably the best pianist we've ever had in this world, his work is inscribed in the history of music. This waltz particularly evokes me of a ball in Vienne, with its dancing and happy tone ! Despite its lightness, it is a complex piece to play and an interesting type of waltz to analyze, a wonderful "Brilliant Watlz"! #Chopinvalse

Nice one!

#chopinwaltz Absolutely love this piece, easily one of my favourite Chopin waltzes both playing and listening!! I love the merry and bubbly nature of the main theme, with some of the other sections having a cheeky and playful nature to them. At the same time there are sections that are powerful and that have a wonderful build to them, especially towards the end. EDIT: also bravo on an amazing effort on this piece!! With just an hour (and a bit) I think you did incredibly well :)

I have played this piece... very fun once you get the rhythm right

#Chopinvalse I've always loved Chopin's music because of its beauty, and the waltzes are some of the few pieces show the joyful side of this beauty, which I think is what makes them so special.

I tried learning this piece in my early teens, probably way too early and also my fingers are too short 😂 loved watching this, makes me want to pick this up again and finish (i lasted until maybe the final segment)!

What I love so much about Chopin’s waltzes is the different emotions in all of them (which kind of applies to all of Chopin’s music). From the most sad waltzes such as the a minor one 34 no 2 and the to the most happy one’s like the op 18 (which you played pretty well considering you only had one hour to learn the notes) and the op 34 no 3 ( which I am learning right now) they all convey such strong emotions. Chopin is such a genius composer that I don’t think we as pianists have even skimmed the surface of the endless ways of interpreting his music. Piano literature and playing would not be the same without Chopin. For your next challenge I want to see you play Chopin rondo in E flat major. #Chopinvalse

I love the little cutesie decorations in this #Chopinvalse like the repeated notes and grace notes. It gives the piece so much character and memorability. Also, while Chopin's Waltzes aren't usually meant to be danced to, this one makes me want to get up and waltz :) P.S. - I hear Sonata No. 2 in b flat minor in the background here, and I remember you saying that you love this Sonata. I'd love to hear you perform all the movements, especially the 3rd one!

This is a great piece. It's very fun and uplifting, like many of Chopin's waltzes. I never really played a Chopin waltz before, though I'd love to. I love the use of repeated notes in this piece, it's very challenging for me, but it sounds so good. On a side note, your sight-reading abilities are amazing. #Chopinwaltz

#Chopinvalse i love the Chopin valse's because they let me feel so free then i listen to them and give me a different atmosphere. They(the valse's) are master pieces like every Music piece from Chopin. I very enjoy your KZread videos keep it up 😁👍🏼.

#Chopinwaltz - the reason I took up the piano! I took up piano as an adult and have never been dedicated enough to move on to the Etudes (except for 10 no. 5). Waltzes are just the right level of difficulty for me. Thank you so so much for posting this. One of my favorites. To me it represents all that was great about Polish culture.

I'm a violinist and pretty clueless about piano repertoire, but I loved your interpretation of this #chopinvalse !

#chopinwaltz i love his harmonies... idk they are just so dreamy and perfect

#Chopinvalse I love the melody and the voices in the left hand!

#Chopinvalse Great Video, really like the energy of this piece! Please do Schubert Op.90 No. 2 or No. 3 in one of your next challenges !😁

Oh this is great

#Chopinvalse Love your playing, Annique!

Yes I have played this piece, and now I’m working on chopin’s waltz op 64 no 1

#chopinwaltz I love his style of rubato. I think it give his pieces and style such a flourish of emotion and movement within the piece. I also appreciate his use of quite detailed and long phrasing which I believe give him such a mastery in articulation and emotional character!

#chopinvalse What I love about Chopin's waltzes is the energy (although there are some less energetic waltzes). waltzes like this, and many of his other grand waltzes, are jumpy and cheerfull. chopin has a very heartwarming feeling. i remember i was at a concert and it was very cold in the concert halll. when the performer played a chopin walts i stopped feeling cold and i even started to feel warmth. chopin always brings a smile on my face. also, pls play "the great gate of kiev" by mussorgsky next.

This one was funny watching the first two practice sessions go a little slower, then BOOM smashed like 10 pages 😝 immer fantastisch

This waltz is one of my objectif for this new year ! I really love the chopin's waltz . He is my favorite composer ^ ^ #chopinwaltz

Since I played Chopin the first time (Waltz Op69 No1), I became inspired and motivated to play even more Chopin! What's interesting about these Chopin waltzes is that they all have a different character. When I am feeling a bit less happy, I listen a lot to Chopin and especially to the happy waltzes :)) #ChopinWaltz

The best version of that Valse played Lang Lang :P every note was played clearly and sound amazing.

This vals is My favorite , the One !

#chopinwaltz I just love the elegance and the gracefulness of Chopin's waltzes!

#Chopinvalse así lo conozco yo Love You Anique 😍💙

Amazing achievement for just one hour! I spent 6 months as an amateur to just be able to play through the whole piece.

Very impressed by your sight-reading skills, it takes for me to learn the right hand then the left then combine the two…

Do you dance you asked? W...A...Y back in the 1950's when I was a tyke, it was common here in America, ( well, at least the Philadelphia area) for parents to send their children to the 'catilion danc schools' where we all learned to waltz, Rhumba, Chacha, etc. Those days are LONG gone, and I have forgotten everything I ever learned.

Gut!

"Omg Alter" is just the perfect sentence

#chopinwaltz one thing I always notice in his waltzes is the constant left hand bouncing to keep the tempo and kind of be a metronome for the piece in repetitive sections. Great playing as always and allowing us to see how you tackle another difficult piece😄

#chopinwaltz waltz in a minor and minute waltz were the first chopin pieces I learned, they will always have a special place in my heart ❤️

I love the nationalism in the music. It makes you feel like you are in Poland. I also love how simple and beautiful the melodies SOUND. #Chopinvalse

chopin’s pieces are the main reason i practise piano - they are so elegant and beautiful. i hope to be able to sight read as well as you in the future! #chopinwaltz

#Chopinvalse I love his melodic structures and his rythms

Ich habe 3 Monate gebraucht um das ganze Stück einigermaßen spielen zu können. Das hier zerstört mal wieder mein Selbstwertgefühl 😳😂

#chopinwaltz I love the coda of Chopin's fourth ballade because I feel warm energy flowing through my whole body when I listen to it.
