    This performance is broad and deep, rich and intense, full of strife yet completion...one of the best i've heard. Pollini's phrasing and weightiness never fades throughout the piece -what energy and drive. I think i held my breath the whole time, then gasped at the end!
    Just curious, has anyone heard Guiomar Novaes play this? We have her recording of the Etudes on record, but this one was sadly not recorded.

    I can imagine the ocean in a hurricane. Few reprieves to the blowing wind and tall waves. Us mere mortals are unable to describe the fury of the ocean, unlike Chopin, the immortal musician. His music shall live on forever, known as some of the best music to have ever existed.

    • @Quotenwagnerianer
      @Quotenwagnerianer 3 года назад +9

      See that is the problem with descriptive titles that were not coined by the composer.
      Chopin NEVER called this the "Ocean" Etude.
      It's like the "Moonlight" Sonata.
      Someone came up with it and it stuck. But it was not Beethoven's intention to picture moonlight, nor was it Chopin's to depict the ocean or the winter wind for that matter.
      If you want Etudes with a poetic narrative you have to turn to Liszt or Alkan. But not Chopin.

    You can hear the separate notes clearly, which is what makes this recording stand out. So many pianists just reduce this etude to a wash of notes.

  • @TheSefirosu200x
    @TheSefirosu200x 9 лет назад +5

    I program MIDIs in piano roll in FL Studio, and I have fooled around with this romantic style like Chopin. It's hard to get it right, if you don't know a lot of technical music theory and just program by feel and how it sounds. Placing one note at a time on piano roll might sound tedious but I find it fun.
    I also have a MIDI of several Chopin pieces, including this one, but there isn't as much emphasis on the melodic notes as in this interpretation. Beautiful.

    That's a lot of power..
    Has anyone ever noticed or considered that around the 1:15 mark in this recording that it sounds like Chopin kind of bailed out on further expansion and just settled on a return to the A section at that point? Such a tiny transition for such a vast sounding piece, one full of so many subtle chord progressions.. something strikes me as odd about that.

      Eric, Yes I have noticed this. I think it has something to do with the subject matter of the piece. Just like with No. 11, he is not afraid to get repetitive. The alternate title of Op. 25 No. 11 is Winter Wind. I feel he is communicating that just when you think the winter wind should stop...it just keeps on coming. Likewise, in this piece, I can imagine someone on a ship expecting the ocean to finally calm down and instead they are greeted with only more dark choppy waves.

    • @gokucrazy22

      +Logan Ortega Don't forget that "winter wind" and "ocean" are nicknames that were applied by other people. Chopin never named his etudes (in fact I don't know that he nicknamed any of his pieces, period). Though I think you have a good point.

      +Javros Oh, I never knew that the nicknames came from other people. Thanks for telling me!

    it's so solid you hear no notes, only waves in the rough and stormy sea.

      Don't put stuff into the music that is not there.
      The programmatic title is not Chopin's. He never gave any indication what this music should be other than an octave arpeggio etude.
      If you want Etudes with programmatic ideas you have to go to Liszt.

    Pure Brilliance is the only thing you can describe Chopin's Work as, simple perfect

    Pollini fantastico. Karajan disse che uno delle incisioni che preferiva erano il studi suonati da Pollini.

    This is very good performance. Pollini did great job. There are very few vids with this study on RUclips such well played as Pollini did. Once more, Great performance!!!
