Many years ago I dragged my lazy Chopin-junkie self to a recital precisely because this [underrated and underplayed] piece was programmed. The pianist was Dmitri Paperno of Chicago, DePaul University. When I arrived I discovered it had been substituted for the Scherzo in B-minor, op. 20. It wouldn't have been such an ironic situation, except this is my *favorite* Impromptu and the 1st Scherzo is my *least* favorite. If it had been the 2nd, 3rd or 4th Scherzo I could have lived with it but damn, I didn't know whether to laugh or burn down the concert hall. Thanks for posting it here with the score. Much appreciated!
Algo para leer de los impromptus📚 Etimológicamente, "impromptu" es sinónimo de improvisación. Aunque se haya permitido soñar en el piano los temas de sus impromptus, Chopin los elaboró luego tan bien, que las cuatro piezas unen el sabor del primer impulso con la perfección de una escritura trabajada. Su forma es simple responde al esquema A-B-A: es decir que un episodio central se ve rodeado de dos episodio simétricos y gemelos. Por lo tanto el interés de los impromptus no reside en la forma sino en la sustancia musical. Pero le corresponde al intérprete devolver a estas cuatro joyas su carácter espontáneo. Como lo dice muy bien Cortot: "En cierta forma tiene que parecer que la música nace bajo los dedos del ejecutante" De "Chopin"-Bernard Gavoty
What are you hearing of special in that part? The way the pianist voiced the chords? Or the beautiful heroic theme coming back in ff? Or something else?
This piece is much harder. Fantaisie impromptu is just 25/2 style fingerwork with a very easy polyrhythm that anyone playing the work should already be comfortable with. This work has some pretty brutal leaps and much less straight forward fingerwork.
This is such an underrated piece of work!
Like all Chopin pieces..
4:32-4:38 was a magical moment.

Sadly, Dmitri Paperno passed away on the 13th of last month.
@@aeonsonanceyes, I saw his obit in the Chicago Trib. Such a loss. But we were lucky to have him as long as we did!
1:15 The beginning of Barcarolle op.60
I hear it too
This recording has a lot of character but still sticks healthily to the spirit of the piece! Very nice.
If I could pick out the last piece I’d heard in my life, it would be that piece
I love so much when 1:15
3:49 - 4:03
1:03. 3:15. 4:03. 5:03
4:03 kinda reminds me of his Sonata No. 3 Mov. 4

3:15
My favourite part: 1:16 - 1:51
there'are four pages of 32 notes
Ikr? Imagine your fingers?

Which is harder Fantaisie or this?
It took me longer to learn this than Op. 66. There's more to this musically. However, I'd say Fantaisie requires more horsepower on balance.
Fantasie
Bruh fantaisie has 3:4 polyrhythm of course its harder
@@regularguy5396 3/4 isn’t that bad though

Why can't Chopin just transpose it to an easier key such as G major?
That argument is equivalent to “why not transpose all peices to a minor or c major”
...
Because it won't be the same? Transposing changes the musicality even by one semitone
