Although I have had several teachers, none has had your passion and depth of knowledge of Chopin. I love it! I have learned a lot from you. My word for the piece is elegant.
So sad that such valid videos have so little views! But at least the view who love it benefit greatly from your work. Thank you, you are very sympatic man
Yeah - Ive been thinking the same! The value of watching these videos is thru the roof! Enjoying Chopin requires a special skillset I guess, not everyones brain is ready to consume these delicacies! So its not for the masses but for the enlightened few. Chopin still underrated, lets spread awareness! More videos please!! Give us some of the sweet extra stuff please!! The hidden notes for the Luke Skywalker-type students!
I was gonna ask you if you considered reviewing Waltz in D Flat Major no. 70 (my absolute favorite), but noticed that you did so three weeks ago. Cheers!
I really enjoyed leaning and playing this waltz about 3 to 5 years before the pandemic. Ironically, I have pretty much forgotten how to play it, so it is very interesting learning the history you give in this video. Thanks for posting this video with all this interesting information.
Very nice video as always Maestro Greg. Your favourite part of all post. waltzes is also my favourite, a very lovely theme Chopin created here in this waltz middle part.
I don't know if I'd call the second part seductive. Rather, as you said, Chopin arrives in Paris and feels a sense of belonging, arrival or long awaited acceptance. The beginning of the piece is a jump for joy because of that, while the second part bathes in this feeling of comfort. The dotted eighths with the sixteenth notes represent little heart-skips of the happiness so vividly expressed in the beginning and end.
To me the story unfolds from a light flirtation to suddenly a feeling of intensity. That moment of the recognition of intense attraction. It slows and there is tension between them. Then they try to bring the lightness back, perhaps startled by the depth of the feelings. Sensuous... yes, as a shared feeling. (If one word, "intense")
Hello Greg, great analysis as always! I was wondering if you are interested in Scriabins mazurkas to make videos about them? I think he understood how to write Polish music pretty well too! never the less I am interested what you think about him. (you own very cool belts)
Hi Kakhi! I played some of them! They are a bit weird but interesting. Maybe in some years ...now I focus on Mozart and I'd love to do some Bach and Beethoven as well!
Altough Fontana's version of this waltz is usually the one played, is it the most authentic? Relative to the autograph version. Should one dedicate themselves to learn one or the other? Thank you!
My word is flowing, like a turbulent river that carries you away. Here's a translation question: I'm curious if your Polish word has the same or a different meaning than your English word?
@gregniemczuk_official if I translate your Polish word , would that be your English word? Since there's not always an exact correspondence from one language to another--I was curious. The Polish word for Parliament versus the English word Diet in this video got me to thinking about translation & meaning. It might not work with every nationality, but joking about the German diet was almost as good as joking about anyone's Parliament. 😊
@@carolynk2 hahahah, well, usually the translation is similar but in this case it caused problems!!! The original letter is in French though!! And I couldn't find the original.....
@gregniemczuk_official in French, it's frequently le parlement or la parlementaire. It makes me wonder if it was an automated translation to "diet" versus the cognate, parliament. Thanks for an interesting discussion. ☺️
Typical of the English language, another meaning of "diet" is "legislative assembly". I'm glad English is my first language. I would hate to have to learn it as a second one.
Awwwwwwe thank you so much!!! Now I understand. Stupid me..... I hope there are more people here for whom English is the second language and they didn't know it.... So your comment is EXTREMELY helpful and I can't thank you enough for that!

I'm glad for finding this video. I'll play this piece on my piano recital on january 4th 2024.. wish me luck, guys🙌😄
Good luck!
This is a great piece and among his "best" waltzes, in my opinion
I was gonna ask you if you considered reviewing Waltz in D Flat Major no. 70 (my absolute favorite), but noticed that you did so three weeks ago. Cheers!
Thanks Greg, I've actually been waiting for this one for like a year :)
Really!!! Hahahahaha, sorry for that!

Yeah, it also makes sense. Thanks for this insight!

@@gregniemczuk Bach analysis will be wonderful! thank you Greg
22:57 If one word to describe it would be alluring
I have one book of Chopin's letters. I will look for it.

I'm curious, what is the other waltz which you find to not be Chopin's?
