First time I am hearing this at the age of 87! How did I miss this all these years. Some may say that he was not an orchestral genius but for me a layperson this is what I like. Thanks my buddy Chopin.
00:00 I. Introduction: Largo - Poco piu mosso 05:46 II. Thema: Allegretto 07:14 III. Variation 1: Brillante 08:20 IV. Variation 2: Veloce, ma accuratamente 09:25 V. Variation 3: Sempre sostenuto 10:49 VI. Variation 4: Con bravura 12:05 VII. Variation 5: Adagio 15:35 VIII. Coda: Alla Polacca
The good Chopin did, in fact show high spirits in much of his music. He was actually very versatile - far more than he is given credit for most of the time.
For a 17- or 18-year-old, though not as complicated/crazy as his later works (even within the next two-four years), it still sounds incredibly groundbreaking for the time and his age. (Listening to it, the dedication does seem to make so much sense, too if you know a bit of personal history on the composer).
Genialnie. Wykonanie wszechczasów. Zawsze jak tego słucham to nie dziwię się Schumannowi, że stwierdził o Chopinie: Oto geniusz. Podobnie gra Arrau, jakbym słyszał Chopina. Większość pianistów przedstawia siebie, a nie Jego sztukę.
impressionant. Une oeuvre de Jeunesse dan laquelle on peut voir presque toutes les semences du Chopin à venir. L'exécution est pour sa part charmante. Un plus!
One time I was tinkering around with this tune on the piano and my mom leans over the bannister and says: "Are you playing the Lumberjack Song??:" No, Mom, but I will now ;)
What's really funny is that this piece caused Robert and Clara Schumann to obsess over Chopin while the composer himself didn't give a crap about Robert and hated Clara's father LOLOLOL
Schumann was a kind of "sociopath" and a problematic personality. He was also obsessed against the belcanto italian composers and especially about G. Donizetti. He said that his opera "la Favorita" was full of bad "circus-music".
This is a claim generated by a very stupid, and bizarre personal wish; you wont find out much about Chopin being homosexual because it isn't at all accurate to reality.
@@OiledUpFatMan Chopin wasn't gay, but he was bisexual, although he never really showed that side of him publicly. There is plenty of proof that he wasn't only straight. If you keep saying that this is not true, then know you're just denying the truth.
@@vincent-ataramaniko Quote me a source supporting that, and preferably one from a credible Chopin biographer, because otherwise that claim is complete bullshit, and you know it. If you have "the truth," than present the goddamn truth. Don't run away screaming, "take my word for it! If not - then know that you just deny the truth!!" These are the words of a fraud who is completely insecure in their position.
@@OiledUpFatMan I don't have to do you that favour. If you want an information, you can dig it out yourself. I couldn't care less whether you want to believe it or not. But reading the letters he wrote to his childhood friend would be a good first step.
@@vincent-ataramaniko A "favor"? You providing evidence to support your own ridiculous claim - which apparently is a claim that you are absolutely certain is accurate - is doing ME a "favor"?? The childhood letters don't mean anything relative to your position. You are talking about drawing fundamental conclusions about a person by referring to formalized writing practices of the early 19th century - practices of written language that everyone who wrote letters in 1800s Europe (particularly rural Poland) would have participated in. Telling a best friend, "I have love for you," in a letter in 1820 does not have the same connotation as it does today. It was a totally different society. Your shitty "evidence" means nothing. You can't even offer the name of this friend you are fantasizing about - but you know the real truth? It's completely ridiculous; you have nothing.

without a doubt!
lucky for me to found this soon

I do believe that, at age 71, this is the first time I have heard this work. Glad I did :)
I am glad you did too. Do you still listen to it?
The old man is long since deceased bud...

Wait, actually?
"Hats off, gentlemen! A genius"
both Robert Schumann and Clara Schumann had some really high opinions on this piece
The same to ARRAU !!!
Applies to Bruce Liu too.
Just liszten.
The good Chopin did, in fact show high spirits in much of his music. He was actually very versatile - far more than he is given credit for most of the time.
Beginning with a famous duet, ending with a Polonaise - what an undeniable bound between two greatest composers!
Great Master Chopin One of the genious pieces written when he was young as tribute to Mozart
This piece is pretty freaking amazing, especially considering Chopin was only a teenager at the time

"Hats off, a genius" This is what Schumann wrote after hearing it.
Chopin, I love you!!!
Wspaniałe i ponadczasowe. Ta muzyka będzie zachwycać wiecznie. ❤️❤️❤️

beautifull, what soul Chopins music has, brilliant... the piano playing is glorious!
Simply wonderful, thanks for sharing this jewel!
My love and appreciation of this piece is monumental!
yes mine also!
Amazing as usual
Really nice performance, I like this edition.
You mean we like our edition, comrade Stalin
@@kunaionfn3121 LMAO
Fantastic. 👍

So gorgeous and beautiful to listen.💖
Une des oeuvres les plus belles pour moi.... et sûrement l une des plus difficile..
Really beautiful !!! Thanks for sharing .
DIVIN !
nie ma co komentować, słuchać i podziwiać
Chopin - Mozart,Mozart - Chopin, który z nich jest większy, obaj wielcy.
Chopin bien-sûr
Beautiful ! Thank you for posting :)
¨THE¨ record !!!!
Ouço e novamente escuto, essa é a melhor interpretação.
marcos aquino Verdade
I always loved the last variation. I have a Weissenberg recording from the 60s or 70s and it's hot. This one is excellent too.
5:47 sounds like the Lumberjack song in Monty Python
Oh my god!
One time I was tinkering around with this tune on the piano and my mom leans over the bannister and says: "Are you playing the Lumberjack Song??:" No, Mom, but I will now ;)
素晴らしい‼️
geniusz
Excelent
Super ''.
4 dislikes !!!!!!?!!............. My Good !! Those peoples have too much to learn !!
Are you meaning that this deserved more or less dislikes?
Wonder what lousy crap of mudic thei like.
@@rtxa LESS !!!
@@marcosviniciosribeirocompo1137 Wow, after 9 months I get a response
Yeah, I agreed, I was just kidding :)
@@rtxa Probably they don´t like Arrau !!!...Poor souls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's really funny is that this piece caused Robert and Clara Schumann to obsess over Chopin while the composer himself didn't give a crap about Robert and hated Clara's father LOLOLOL
Hilarious, because it's true!
And that is probably why Robert had depression😂
Who wouldn't hate Clara Schumann's father...?
Schumann was a kind of "sociopath" and a problematic personality. He was also obsessed against the belcanto italian composers and especially about G. Donizetti. He said that his opera "la Favorita" was full of bad "circus-music".
Schumann did have some choice words about Chopin’s preludes. I’m thinking they came from a place of jealousy
Does 18:27 remind anyone of the middle section of Mozart’s concerto #20 mov II?
7:15
Chopin did at 17 what Prokofiev never got in his entire life.
What on earth are you talking about?
9 Poor souls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" Gdy Naród do boju..."
Great piece but I absolutely HATE the second variation sorry it brings me so much stress
yes, it's best skipped. The rest is very good though ;)
Funny because the 2nd is my fav :')
He wrote this for his friend he was in love with. You won't find much about it because it's taboo, but yeah, Chopin was almost certainly gay.
