:) :) thank you for saying that, itchy. I often struggle with this myself, and it's one of the reasons why I haven't uploaded hardly any well-known pieces on my channel. But now that you say that, yes, you are right, every performance is different, we really need another one :)
I just finished to study this ballade and you are an extraordinary performer of this not easy work. Super happy to found your channel and follow you. Congratulation, hope to see one of your live concert in theater.. PS. A so smooth final I've never heard..
Thank you. The 'blurred' pedalling in the two dominant pedal-note reprises (E then D) of the first theme is unconventional, but for me, it lends a touch of mystery to that part of the drama!
Nice to listen to your version of Chopin's first ballade! I liked your calm approach on some parts which are often played too passionately (including myself...). I was revising this one till some months ago and now working on the 4th. I never get bored of revising them.
Very nice, particularly the lyric approach to the main theme!
Such a shame ads interrupted one of the most intense moments of your fantastic performance ... I'll enjoy your next LIVE sharing ...
Thank you so much for listening and commenting - I'm sorry about the ad. How annoying!
@@paulprocopolis not your fault! Darn tech can’t leave us alone for a minute! Your playing was, as always, just beautiful to watch/listen to 💫
incredible
i wanna play this way some day
Thank you for sharing this beautiful performance! It's a joy to hear your unique touch to this 'iconic piece'!
Thank so much for listening and for your kind comment - coming from a Polish lady that’s quite something! 🙂
Yes, we do really need another one! Chopin's music can live forever.
Yes, indeed it can!

@@SimonPiano42 That is reassuring!
Beautiful performance! Thank you for sharing this with all of us :)
And I thank you for your kind words of appreciation 😊
Damn what a performance. Sounds like a Steinway btw - is it?
Well spotted - yes, it’s a Steinway B from 1978.

Thank you for your kind and gracious comment. I know you are a talented pianist yourself! 😊
Thanks, enjoyed it, I particularly liked your pedaling and the character you gave to the lyrical parts!

I’ve played all but the fourth which I’ve always found something of an enigma - but I’m sure you’ll do it splendidly and I look forward to hearing it!
