8:40 - 9:30 has got to be one of the most calming and beautiful things I’ve ever heard, it’s insane

Oh my goodness, the lower pitch makes it sound even more beautiful and elegant 😍🥺

Often considered Chopin’s finest work although personally I rank it with the Barcarolle, the Fantasy in F, the first Ballade, and the second Scherzo. I wonder whether he himself was struck by the beauty of his compositions and might have thought “Wow! I wrote that !”

When he first heard Tristesse performed he was really struck by it, almost confused. And about that work in particular, he said "never in my life have I written a more beautiful melody"

Tristesse is certainly one of his best but there are so many others! When I was a kid I watched the 1945 movie “A Song to Remember” about a very fictionalized version of Chopin’s life and in it was the second scherzo which I thought was the most incredible music I had ever heard. ( didn’t know what it was of course, my mom called a classical record shop, asked if anyone was familiar with the movie, someone was and told her what it was…..). Speaking of etudes, I love that slow, very sad one (op 25 I think?) - do you know it.

Chopin said his first ballade was his favorite piece of his, but he said his favorite waltz was the a minor valse (op 34 no 2) which is rather unkown compared to his more famous waltzes. To be fair though he probably said this before op 64 was written.

Recently started getting into classical music and this one is solid 🤘

6:05 - 7:14 is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard

​@@sergei.scheenyes I agree I'm a pianist and it's even better IRL when you feel the melody going throughout the room louder and louder throughout the room starting from a single F

This is so good holy shit

This just cured my schizophrenia

I really love several mazurkas but can never remember the opus or number of them - when l want to I listen to them I have to keep guessing! Will have to keep a record of them. (I think there’s over 50 of them (?)).

Who is the pianist? it sounds really good. is there a normal speed version?

Maybe this is closer to what he composed, really. Everyone of us that take music seriously should be acquainted with the Whole Beat Metronome practice.

I really, really like this slowed-down version. If you want another interpretation of Ballade 4: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aapswcyxd9HIn7Q.html Wim Winters is very controversial but his is another wonderful and revealing performance.
