Damn, Chopin really wanted Poland to win against Russia in the revolutionary war! He puts so much emotion into this piece for POLAND! And The PERFORMANCE IS VERY GOOD KISSIN ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING
Actually Chopin wrote this piece because of the war, but most importantly because when he was in Paris he could not go to his own country.... Poland, and he was angry about it.
My father played this at my grandmothers funeral as a tribute to her, having been the one to encourage his playing. Love this piece among many of Chopins.
This Chopin Etude was one of the most difficult pieces I attempted. As I was practicing to bring this up to tempo, I had to back off or risk carpal tunnel damage to my left hand. Imagine being able to perform all 25 of these Etudes! Stunning performance BTW!!
There is a myth, I don't know how true it is but according to it, Liszt sight read his etudes perfectly, so if this was true then really Liszt was just on a whole other level
@@sarahsoumaya lol no piece is hard if you see it from that perspective. Repetition can learn you the technique but the interpretation and the emotions you have to deliver is the really hard thing.
@@1kenodave1 this is a chopin piece but i think i get what you are saying. unless of course you are talking about the infamous Rachmaninov Prelude in C# minor
CHOPIN was without a doubt one of the top composers past and present regardless of genres. He was brilliant with flashy compositions yet he can also pull your heart string with emotional music too. He is what I will call THE KING OF MELANCHONY music
Chopin was a Pole and wrote this piece when he learned about the fall of the November Uprising against Russia in his homeland. You can hear anger and despair in this piece, as well as longing for the homeland.
Simply love how he starts and ends with no alarm. Just all of sudden you see the first frame of an impassioned revolutionary and then dramatically mute makes you wonder then what? Masterpiece.
I saw his face full of desperation at the and (and also while playing). And if I were him, I'd be crying and also desperate as well. This piece is just fantastic and magical. I can't imagine how Chopin felt when he was writing this masterpiece.
He was in anguish when he wrote this, as he was a patriotic polish and wrote this during the November uprising in 1831. This piece probably expressed how much pain he felt when the revolution failed.
This is the most vivid emotional story I’ve ever heard from a piano piece. So full of loss, fear, uncertainty, battles fought dawn to dusk, small whiffs of hope on the horizon amidst pure chaos and despair, and once it feels calm like the nightmare is over and you can breathe and move on, the final battle hits like a train and then ends with one final discernible explosion, an abrupt end to the war where once it’s over there is no ability to reflect. There is no closure.. there is just life that goes on with that explosion and horror being trapped in your fractured mind… cause nothing is the same with that traumatic war. Life as you knew it has died, so has your soul.
The sheer technical ability to play this is impressive - but that's why so many people who want to master it end up playing it like a robot or like a rabbit who just did three lines of... (no shade to her if you know who I'm talking about, she still is absolutely amazing). But to add emotion and expressivity on top of such an already technical heavy piece? Now that's truly mastery.
Does the name of this rabbit start with a Y and have 4 letters? Lol. And yes I agree, this piece is HARD and is the reason why I wrote a much shorter version to prove that I could play it -if it lasted for only a minute. (Check out my Happy Birthday/Revolutionary Etude Mash up.)
He plays it in front of the Warszarw orchestra i think, it is the same that plays to the Chopin competitions. These musicians have seen the best of the best to play Chopin, and Kissins doesnt care, he just goes on stage and takes the world in his hand
@@yosserc dude there are things called jokes c'mon why do you have go to get offended so easily and before you say it no, I respect every orchestral musician. Playing in orchestra is probably one of the hardest jobs, but cmon don't be mad its a joke
I'm listening to Evgeny Kissin's piano, and without realizing it, tears well up and I feel very lonely. I really like the expression on his face that goes into Chopin's work without being fancy, and then comes out again after the performance.
Look at the expression on the white-haired, obviously quite seasoned violinist with the beard in back of him when he ends. Great performance of a Chopin masterpiece. And, even this group is impressed. LOVE LOVE LOVE RUclips!! Thanks for posting this Fabio and enriching my life. And thanks Federik C....and and Mr. Kissen.
It is thought that Chopin had all this political unrest on his mind when he composed this piece. It is like the "soundtrack" for what was going on... More details: When a revolution broke out in Paris (July 1830) and the Russian emperor Nicholas I indicated his intention of using the Polish Army to suppress it, a Polish secret society of infantry cadets staged an uprising in Warsaw (Nov. 29, 1830, and known as the "November Uprising" of the Polish-Russian War of 1830-31). Although the cadets and their civilian supporters failed to assassinate the Emperor’s brother Grand Duke Constantine (who was commander in chief of the armed forces in Poland) or to capture the barracks of the Russian cavalry, they did manage to seize weapons from the arsenal, arm the city’s civilian population, and gain control of the northern section of Warsaw.
The liquidity of the piece is almost piercing into my consciousness like a rushing chill into my very endearing soul, uplifting my spirit into the pinnacle of the undeniable existence of excellence in music, subjecting myself to the incredible and reverential submission.
Meu Deus, que genio. I think he was exausted at the end, that's why he couldn't smile. He gives his all being to each piece. He said in a interview that he would notice to have lost weight after a performance. Can you imagine loosing a few pounds in a a single performance?
Totally LOVE that we get to see close-ups of his hands. (I dislike the piano videos where all we get to see is the often overly-dramatic face and pained expressions of the pianist. For God's sake, show us the HANDS and forearms!
I have such a novice understanding of music and music theory. I feel everything that I listen to, as I feel this piece. I got goosebumps watching this, however, could you imagine being a part of that orchestra, with a mastery over the crafts of classical music, and a complete understanding of what they are witnessing? Besides the ones who are bitter that he “stole the limelight”, the ones that intently listened to what was being played right before them, probably got CHILLS down their spines. Even those whose ego wouldn’t let them admit it, got chills.
Mad respect for him. This is my favorite version of this piece by far, I’m in love of his interpretation and the way he played it, it’s exactly as what I want to hear
I adore Kissin. He was always my big inspiration. I was Listening to Prokofiev sonata 6 every day, and now I want to learn the Chopin’s etude! Thank you for this video!
Well played Mr Kissin ! I took one look at the music sheet, and decided that the left hand was too hard for a pianist as limited in ability as me to play it. Extraordinarily gifted piano virtuosos are as rare as Formula One motor car drivers. I love watching both, and hope some day to ascend into heaven, to be reborn as a Liszt or a Chopin. A dream perhaps, yet an aspiration.
Я этот этюд слушаю уже очень много раз в исполнении Рихтера Султанова и многих других кто решился его исполнить. И каждый раз слёзы сами катятся из глаз Гениальное творение!!!! Какое счастье родиться не глухим

He is the king
So true lol
hes probably thinking, "freaking sick of playign this piece"
I think he has being through dark feelings while playing tho... That peace is soo emotionally deep
He displays a faint smile, only to look up at the disappointing response from the audience and that smile turns to contempt for the peons.
I like how he stands up at the end for the applause with a look in his face that says “ yes, I know I’m amazing“
why did my piano teacher think it was a good idea for me to learn this
its not that hard you just have to repeat it a lot
@@sarahsoumaya true
@@sarahsoumaya lol no piece is hard if you see it from that perspective. Repetition can learn you the technique but the interpretation and the emotions you have to deliver is the really hard thing.
