I've been playing this now for 18 months. It's not technically difficult, but it's so so hard to get that gentle touch without making it sound monotonous
I couldn't agree more! It frustrates me that some performers attempt to avoid monotony by rushing the piece, whereas bringing this kind of fragility to a performance draws out the piece's true emotion. Bravo Khatia
Absolutely true
Your neighbor must be really sad by now 😥😢😂
The problem is to play a Cello Melody on a piano
exactly
This prelude is not technically difficult. But playing it with the right emotion and tenderness is very hard. Khatia do it perfectly!
Agreed. Just got done playing it and then I watched her and I realized that if I could learn to do it with my eyes closed maybe, just maybe I could be in the same ballpark as she is. I can get a little into it then I have to peel and it kills the emotion!
Music is just some mystery. Valentina Lisitsa played Für Elise as an encore(you find it here on YT). The audience started to laugh then they stopped. I'd never heard it so beautifully played before though it's a very easy piece for those great pianists. Then I realized how hard even the most simple pieces can be!
Agreed. Any piano player can learn Chopin. But can you play it like Chopin.
@@jozsefnemedi8472the audience always highers the bar. If the performance is lower that the bar, they are mocking/angry
Reminds me of the song "Macaroni Time" by Chief Keef.
Chopin himself requested that this prelude be played at his funeral. I can see why; this one full of sorrow.
Such a sad moving piece beautifully played
he requested that requiem of mozart be played.
It was indeed played at his funeral, along with a couple of his other compositions. But Chopin himself only requested Mozart's Requiem.
Maybe because he suffered from tuberculosis and this piece is also called suffocation.
Knew he was dying and you can feel the sadness.
Miss Buniatishvili demonstrates that the left hand part is not so simple as it seems - the rush of obsessive, uneasy, dark emotion which threatens to erupt uncontrollably is what drives the piece.
nicely put
I have a different interpretation. Her interpretation is not to my liking - for me, there is no rush of uneasy or dark emotion that drives it forward. I like to play it slower, with very different dynamics and accents, letting each chord in my left hand have its own identity. To move forward decisively, yet be at peace.
@@ashirogimuuto6257 I think lots of interpretations r equally valid. and enjoyable.. i as a complete beginner am learning this. it seems a difficult one to interpret. I hope that when I have learned it...which is months away I will discover my way ....
Ashirogi Muuto lets hear it plz
I would advise yo auto get the Henle Vertag version of the score (Urtext). I have just bought it and the fingering is at first a bit odd, but I think they have worked it out to make the left hand more adaptable to it than at first it seems - the numbering appears odd until you move on between chords.
People who are saying it's not "technically" difficult have a wrong and limited comprehension of what technical skill means and encompasses. The ability to play gently and with precise dynamics IS a form of technical skill. Stop claiming that this piece is not "technically" difficult to perform correctly. This piece requires tremendous technical skill.
Соглашусь. Как правило так говорят люди, которые мало в чем разбираются. Есть ощущение, что те же самые люди говорят, что импрессионизм, кубизм и т.д. не искусство, потому что это нарисовать легко. А искусство - это не только про ремесло и "сложно/легко", но ещё и про эмоции и душу. В искусстве не всегда важно ЧТО, важно КАК
I understand what you mean
But this piece could be played way better than
that .....
@@user-je5io4jo7e I had to use google translate. I agree. I thought this performance was exquisite. I play this, but I sound like I'm using a chainsaw.
you are schizophrenic i dont see any skill involved hehehehehhe😝 (i retract my statement this was pretty rude by me lol)
This song starts and takes shape like a tear that starts to come out of the eye. It is one of the most honest compositions ever written and that I had the opportunity to hear. No matter how much time passes, this song will carry its lament for eternity. There are no words that can complement it.
Hello
Such a beautiful tribute
Chopin was the greatest; he gets me each and every time i listen. X
I think the repeated chord patterns mark the inexorable march of time to the end, and the right hand sounds like sighs to me. I think this was played at Chopin's funeral, and (since I'm getting up in age), I've specified that it be played at mine too.
beautifully put.
@MPT yes, except it's not a "song"
_“There are no words that can complement it.”_ Which, ironically, didn’t prevent you from speaking. Next time you’re thinking about making a RUclips comment, remember this moment, and say nothing. Good lord. Who even talks like that? And who are you performing for?!?
My favorite pianist ever... her interpretations keep always being the best interpretations worldwide... she made that piece look so simple, and yet it isn’t...
Yes, Yes, and Yes! You hit on all the right cords.
meg a csöcse is nagy
Beautiful. Short, because any stretch of time you spent with a lost loved one is short in retrospect. Repetitive to that final Em chord, because you want to reminisce constantly, you want to linger on those memories. Then you finally let go. This is a very expressive short story in music.
Yes indeed!
this is probably my favorite comment on this piece ever. well put
Most sad piano piece 😢. Chopin truly tortures the audience by not dissolving the chord until the total end. A masterpiece of beauty❤
How beautifully worded by yourself.
You described what we all feel with perfection x💚
By the way Chopin himself wanted this piece to be played at his funeral. Truly one of his saddest pieces
"dissolving" the chord ?"
She has obviously listened to Horowitz recordings of this piece.
és jó csöcsök
The syncopation she introduced in this performance between the melody and accompaniment makes all the difference in the world! Two eternal lovers that can meet for just a brief moment chase each other and intertwine like butterflies. Amazing!
That's a great metaphor for this music.
thx for using the word syncopation. I sort of knew what it meant but after seeing her do this I really know and will apply it to my playing.
I love this description! Well said and I agree ❤
I think you mean synchronization. Syncopation means playing an accented note in an unaccented beat, as in ragtime. This piece is not syncopated at all. The long notes in the melody all land on the first beat of each measure.
She does, however, play with a lovely balance between the melody on top and the chords below. It sings above but does not overpower them. Even though there is only one long note on top playing against three on the bottom - being repeated three times no less - you can still feel that one long note.
The effect is melancholy but not maudlin; the sound seems to just appear out of nowhere. It’s as if She’s not really playing it so much as just allowing it to happen.
@@gatesurfer I did mean (micro) syncopation because it's consistent. But I understand and accept your view as well.
The dexterity in her finger separation is amazing! WOW
The only problem about this piece, is that it’s too short.
Just like life.
@nadya that’s deep
@@28-nadyahendriawan71 I wanted to say that
I just watched it twice! Problem solved....
No it's mainly she played it too fast, Chopin wrote "Lento"
I love her posture, too .
Minaya Jafarova I love both of her postures.
Harry Wakatipu 😂😂😂
Yitzhak Finnegan lollll 😂😂
Harry Wakatipu what do you mean both she only has one posture
You really do??????
Had the honor of hearing her play Chopin piano concerto 1 at Roy Thompson Hall 7 years ago. Unforgettable experience visually & aurally.
I've performed there. Great concert venue. Unusual to hear it mentioned on here 😜
I love to watch when people play music and you can see it comes thru their soul and it makes me love it too.
That last cough of rudeness though, final strike. 2:07
I'm sorry please, i won't again.
@@georgescancan7503 fuck off
And most concerts the loudness will drown out the coughing In any large group of people there's always a few people coughing it's just that this piece is so soft you could hear it
At least he waited to the last note being played
Exquisite! When I play it, it sounds boring. When Khatia plays it she is talking to me deep into my heart and soul. The Lord has given her a wonderful gift, and she has worked hard to perfect it!
She is stunning!!!!! So was her performance 🖐️👏👏
*The best interpretation on RUclips. Finally a version to enjoy! :)*
Tears in my eyes, best performance I've ever seen
What a beautiful performance by this lady. Beautiful music, Chopin was genius.
I have played this prelude countless times, but I discover new sounds every time. Katia's interpretation is truly amazing!
Ive never heard the song played quite like this before
So in unison and so full of raw emotion
Song...? 😖
I can't think of ANY other piano piece EVER which is so bare, so simple, so soft, so hauntingly melodic, so captivating. And we'll played too!
Beautifully played by Khatia. It is reported in history that this was played at Chopin's funeral.
I just saw it used as backing piano music tonight in the Olympic Ice Dancing competition of a couple. Chopin's Prelude added so much to the emotion of the ice dancing. I had to look online in RUclips to find a live rendition of it to add to my post that I took off of the television screen with my cell phone camera and posted it to my Facebook, because it was soon to be blocked either by Olympics copyrights or the music.
No words for such an exquisite performance
the reason why concerts are rarely held during this pandemic. Everyone will cough
Tears in my eyes listening to this interpretation. This is such a difficult piece to get right, from an emotional perspective. Out of his vast repertoire of incredible pieces, Chopin requested that this be played (along with Mozart's Requiem) at his funeral.
Best version IMO I hear on RUclips. As good as they are the others just don't match or beat the subtle touch this girl has.
This is so beautiful.Khatia and the song
Listening to this in the quiet of the night makes the music so much more exquisite and solemn. So much depth of feeling.
The beauty of being a musician. To get the audience to feel the sentiment of the music through your instrument of choice. I've played this several times before--mine never FELT like this. So beautiful. STAY ENCOURAGED.
Finally I found a great performance of this piece on RUclips
Phenomena! At one level so easy to play, but this is like I've never heard it played before!
Khatia, God bless you, you are the best, respect from Croatia
There is another recording where she plays the dramatic middle part quite a bit faster. I must admit, I like and love this a lot more. I'd love to learn the piano and I guess it's never too late.
Siya Nomtshongwana this is one of the easiest Chopin pieces. If you start playing now you'll be playing this within a month or two.
Runda Björn not at all......no.6 is a lot easier. The middle part of no.4 is absolutely not easy for the left hand. And to play it in a month or two means you are a prodigy....hahaha
nonsense - this is a simple (and so quite demanding to play well) grade five piece. From scratch you'd need a couple of years at least, unless you are exceptional. The coughers should be identified and banned from concert halls for a year.
A few bits in the middle are are hard. But I learned in a couple of months, self taught. Just finished learning Chopin prelude in a minor as well. Bach prelude C major - c minor next.
@@markrevelle1 I've been learning piano for a week and can play this song
One of my absolute hot favourite pieces, for it's beauty, if course but also because my mother played it as gently and professionally as she does. Thank you so much, I haven't heard it for years because I didn't know it was Chopin's, I thought it was Brahms.
I am no music critic but my heart, soul and ear tell me that this is exactly how Chopin intended this unforgettable prelude to be played. It is supposed to grasp you entirely, becoming unforgettable, sharing its sadness with you. And I think, it does, it really does.
Try listening to others too. Each one tells a story.
Yeah it goes beyond music and transports you into somekind of dimension of majesty and power all about feeling and not listening.
Too many 'players' forget it's a Largo! She nails it....
God - she interprets... almost like you can see Chopin himself playing/writing this
Thanks to the version of Jimmy Page on guitar i listen to Chopin prelude no 4
Thks for posting awesome sutile
Khatia Buniatishvili schwebt geradezu über die Tasten, die Musik bekommt eine eigene, unwiderstehliche Aura -faszinierend und zum Hinwegträumen! Sie live zu erleben ist ein Ereignis!
I cried when I was listening to this piece.
This is truly a fantastic rendition! I also love her bydlo from pictures!
CHOPIN NAJPIEKNIEJSZA SPUŚCIZNA DLA LUDZKOŚCI. DZIĘKUJĘ.
Beautiful & heartfelt.
Quelle merveille de sensibilité et de finesse de toucher
on n'arrive pas à la quitter
Stunning in so many ways.
TOUCHING,TRULY EMOTIONAL...I WOULD LISTEN TO THIS MASTERPIECE ALL THE TIME...I AM A VIOLINIST 🎻🎼 AND I ADORE PIANO...AND KHATIA BUNIATISHVILI IS THE GREATEST PIANIST I'VE EVER SEEN...HOW SHE FEELS WHAT SHE'S PLAYING IS REALLY INSPIRING...SHE AND NIKOLAI LUGANSKY ARE MY FAVOURITE PIANISTS....
Incredible! Payed with so much feeling, just beautiful. It always amazes me how much passion Chopin can put into a little (relatively easy) piece. I wish I could play this 1/10th as well as she does.
My favourite prelude. Exquisite....
The greatest gifts come from within.
Bravo Khatia, bravo (beautiful)
Ох! Удивлена приятно и восторженно, как давно знакомое и казалось бы заигранное, становится новым и неуслышанным ранее ... чудо!) Спасибо Cantus 5 за приятные моменты и истинное эстетическое наслаждение .....
Excellent, excellent!
Happy New Year!
Un peu de douceur dans ce monde de brutes, ça ne peut pas faire de mal ! Merci pour ces quelques notes Khathia !❤
Yea... Fucking "brutes" Santimonius
Wonderful! Thank You
Bravo Kathia, so inspired!
Какая красивая девочка,как прекрасно играет гениального композитора.
That's the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.
I love her expressions... it looks like she there with Chopin when he was composing the piece and was feeling all the emotions that he felt while she played the prelude.
This is beautifull.
Shorts , but played with great feeling and emotion.....that's what's so difficult.
Bello Prelude y Bella interpretación de la Bella Khatia!!!
Bien dicho! Gracias! Aun viven los sentimientos en nuestros tiempos, epoca solitaria y mecanica del ordenado.
One of my favourite ones ever... Brilliantly played by the way. Challenging to find the right tempo
amazing
!!
Very beautiful !!!
that moment when nothing seems to move but your ears and eyes are both satisfied.
Beautiful
The soundman might as well have taken the microphone to the jacks in his pocket by mistake, but that was gorgeous playing. :)
Beautifully played
Gossamer in autumn 🍂
It is interesting to note that the Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim derived his song "How Insensitive" from this piece.
Thought I recognised that - love the Astrud Gilberto version of that song - love this too
This is enchanting.
Khatia is just simply perfect the way she is. She gives us a better interpretation of the best composers. She is simply amazing. Only one time have I seen her with a sheet of music, and that was when she was teaching some children how to play.
Magnifique!
Jle dis souvent mais cest aussi vrai, sublime.
Decididamente Khatia puede considerarse la Diosa del piano. Genial, brillantísima en cada una de sus interpretaciones.
best interpretation ever!
Khatia is such a master of touch! From Satie to Chopin she finds the depth.
Stunning! I’m inspired to relearn this piece…
Finished - relearned by ear & eye 👁
So much passion.
Absolument magique, merveilleux. Elle l'a pris en elle. Mon prélude préféré.
Timeless beauty.
Chopin is the best ever!
Genatsvale shen Khatia!
the best interpretation
Extraordinaire Khatia je t’adore tu es la meilleure 💔👍💔👍💔👍💔👍💔👍
The way she plays this song always makes me cry...
I have now struggled through the puece for several weeks (without being able to read notes, just using youtube tutorials). After listoning to this one I finally know who it should ideally sound!
My new favorite Chopin!
That's it! Bravo!
😱madre mía... qué maravilla... Katia.
Bravissimo !
Прекрасное исполнение, спасибо.
wonderful
Merveilleuse musique de Chopin 😍😍
Great performance pretty Katia amazing
One of her better and more considered performances.
Buniatishvilli knows how to play left hand...It makes mi sick when I hear 4. prelude is very easy:easy for nonmusical persons...It is very very difficult to play left hand pianissimo and to make dinamical balance with right hand wich plays piano...Not to talk about all hidden poliphoni wirhin magnificent harmonies...Mrs Buniatishvili did the rught thing....Bravo!!!
I didn't know ... Thanks Nikola.
This version she does just goes to show you how you can take a piece of classical and say yup that's nice-then you move on. Or.. you can take a piece of classical and make it into something of absolute majesty and power-bringing tears to the eyes and wondering what kind of God's genius created this.
Chopin for me will always leave a footprint on any heart that has the luxury of hearing his heart caress the piano 💚
Wonderful...
