    My fascination for the piano started with this piece, this sad and lonely melody, suddenly it explodes in desperation and pure emotional chaos, it's like an emotional rollercoaster ride everytime I hear it.

      I find the same, perhaps even more so, with the second ballade. The contrast between the quiet and graceful theme, and the explosive section that follows, is a delightful 'shock' every time one hears it.

    This piece can tell a lot about a player imo. Your performance reveals you as a seasoned veteran whose repertoire would put many a professor of piano to shame. Incredible playing.
    Also, you do you, but I’d go and change you ad settings to not have midroll ads. It kinda ruins the listening experience. RUclips just changed it so all videos longer than 8 minutes, automatically have mid-roll ads placed on them unless specifically changed not to. Kinda annoying but I think your listeners would greatly appreciate hearing your performances uninterrupted.

Some are a little complex, some are super simple. But it’s pianists like you who help me realize why I started, you help me remember my passion and love for it, you inspire me and give me hope. Thank you. My dream is play like you one day. Even if you don’t see this, I still hope my words somehow get carried out to you. Again, thank you for everything.

      Imo 4 is by far the deepest and most complex one, then comes the second, which is basically a happy person experiencing a traumatic event which breaks the person (why it's ending in the beginning theme but in minor), then there's the first and last the third, just because of the dance / party like character, which lacks a bit of depth. My opinion :P

    Chopin sculpt the human experience in music. In my opinion a minimalist, as the polyphonic-like cords, shifting rhythms and accents all convey much more than just the notes. Even sometimes a single unexpected 'missing' note can say so much. A true genius, a master.

      It’s one that will seem a little strange, but I have personal ties to it. The story about how Chopin never felt it was ready, and the piece feels like it’s a narrative that follows the course of my life speaks deeply to me, but that means the bulk of the song is more slow and seemingly sad, but I think it’s a complex and incredible piece:
