Roland Dyens deserves to be more known by the public. Not alive anymore, he still serves us the best performances. Besides effortless catching the tempo through the whole piece, his soulful playing makes this a unique document. Who are the ones with a thumb down: Probably the purists that can only hear Chopin played on the piano. Dyens could have played a broomstick and the result even then would have been astonishing!
As a pianist, it's very interesting to see how this piece can be adapted to the guitar without losing too much of its musical texture and complexity. Dyens managed a very nice compromise, and the result is very poetic.
The greatest master guitarists in the world mostly sound very rough on the falling chromatic part in this (1:14 here) while still playing the chords. But Thu Le does it the best.
Roland Dyens est un génie absolu....Il est et restera un des guitaristes les plus grands de notre époque, je le trouve génial dans la qualité de ses arrangements, ses interprétations , c'est en outre un sacré pédagogue, je l'ai vu plusieurs fois en concert, et il aime à présenter Chopin comme un jazzmen, il est drôle et humain....Que la guitare est grandie avec un tel Monsieur!
for those who ask for the transcription in standard notation only, it is available in Roland Dyens in "Mes Arrangements A L'amiable", published by Editions Henry Lemoine, France.
This piece for me has something of a spanish dance, the main melody is quite 'seductive' while quite ironic, and even nostalgic, as are every spanish piece for guitar. It is the best Chopin piece adapted to the guitar.
The guitarist in this video that interprets wonderfully waltz opus 69 No. 2 Frederic CHOPIN his name is Roland DYENS and he is a French composer and guitarist known on the world. The Chopin waltz that plays was transcribed by Roland DYENS himself. It is published by Henri Lemoine (Paris, France).
I play this beautiful song on piano, but hearing your version brought tears to my eyes, of course it's written for piano, but I thought you played it with passion & the key changes were so touching, I loved it. Thankyou X
In my opinion this is the best transcription of this piece, beautiful performance.It gives me hope of a better future. Thanks for posting. Mr Lộc from HoaBinh Corp.Danang city - VietNam.
Mr Dyens, félicitations pour votre interprétation personnelle de cette merveilleuse Valse de Chopin. Vous êtes un très grand professeur et vos compositions sont remarquables.
this is blooming wonderful... I love to find fantastic transcriptions and interpretations of these sorts of classics that I haven't even heard on piano before.. it transcribes very well...
świetne wykonanie - świetna muzyka - genialna kompozycja Chopina i genialny Roland Dyens - sam Chopin jakby to usłyszał - to by przyklęknął w podzięce... suuuuper
Nice...learning it now off this clip (first heard Charlie Byrd's recording of this way back in the(H.S. days ;) on an old LP...(that was a stunning recording)..great post and performance here.Love your tone.
Tony, I think you are correct. I had a second look and listen. It seems that the tuning shift is certainly on the A string but possibly the E and D as well. The top three strings appear to be at pitch. I'd like to buy the collection this is in, but it doesn't appear to be GSP. Try using VLC Media player (It's free). Current version will permit speed shifting in increments. Earlier versions can play at half speed one octave lower. I've found these useful for studying fingerings and tuning.
I just transcribed the Roland Dyens' version from standard notation to tab: PDF: www.mediafire.com/file/80l50niod91lqzf/Chopin%20-%20Waltz%20Op.69%20No.2.pdf Songsterr: www.songsterr.com/a/wa/CollaborationAction/revision?id=341204 Enjoy! P.S. No left hand fingering or dynamics, was too lazy to do it lol
Simply incomparable! To those asking him to "share" sheets, he already does that: It's called selling his arrangements( his work) through a publisher.Unless you can "volunteer" to go and buy his clothes, pay his rent, buy and cook his food, and transport him around, I suggest you simply "buy" his arrangements. So grow up please.
thanks. I agree the sound is bminor which is the correct original key, but look at where he plays bminor on the fretboard. It would appear to be aminor positions, which leads me to believe he's cranked the tuning up a whole step. i started working out just the first couple of measures by ear (i just put a capo on 2) and i think there's another tuning oddity elsewhere (maybe on string 3). I know, I should just buy the dang score which i think is available in an import collection of pieces.
I now have the score. Tuning is as I said: 6F#, 5B. everything else normal. His arrangement are so meticulously annotated they are such a pleasure to read. Also, they are very reasonably priced. Best wishes to all.
Bye. The all time greatest classical guitar arranger

How I love this waltz of Chopin and here played so beautifully... with a bit of yearning and melancholy with a touch of joy.
One of the most beautiful music I have ever heard, and also well performed. Congratulations.

The treasures Roland left us with.
I didn't expect that I would like the guitar version way much better than the piano one.. never thought this can sound so good ..
i play this on the piano.
and wow, this sounds amazing.
Mr Dyens, félicitations pour votre interprétation personnelle de cette merveilleuse Valse de Chopin.

Extremely good !! Sounds mesmerising on guitar
Exceptional and indescribable. That's just the transcription. The playing is sublime.
Amazing guitar play ... I've first time listened to Chopin by guitar. This is fantastic.
nadie interpreta una pìeza de piano tan perfectamente como este maestro. amo esta pieza de chopin es increiblemete hermosa.
En uno de sus conciertos mencionó que hizo sus arreglos (de este y otro vals) para que la audiencia dedujera que la pieza se compuso para la guitarra
Beautiful and Speechless ! Thank you for playing.
Przepiękna interpretacja!!!! Wspaniale i wzruszająco!!!!! Wielkie brawa!!!!!
What a great player he was!! I was blessed to hear him in person a few years back, and he was spellbinding.
Почему был?
Toujours aussi talentueux,mon vieil ami Roland!! c'est superbe!
ROLAND SIGUE VIVO... ANGEL DE LA GUITARRA... GENIO INMORTAL....!!!!
Excellent. Thanks for this great music.
Beautiful playing. I really enjoyed listening to this interpretation
Beyond description. Out of this world. I am in awe !!
Fantastic!
one of the very few Chopin arrangements for guitar that I actually prefer compared to the original. Dyens is a true genius when it comes to arranging!
Magnifique, merci maestro Dyens
Замечательно,правильные интонации, когда в детстве играл папа,во
Главе всегда были чувства
beautiful song
Beautifully played and easily the best guitar version on U Tube.
świetne wykonanie - świetna muzyka - genialna kompozycja Chopina i genialny Roland Dyens - sam Chopin jakby to usłyszał - to by przyklęknął w podzięce... suuuuper
jimmy page de la guitare classique !!!! bravo c'est magique !!
I've always loved this piece on the guitar (rather than piano), and this is a superlative performance! Excellent!
Никогда бы не подумал, что Шопен "композитор для гитары"!
Великолепно!
exellent!!!!ça sonne vraiment pure manifique!!!
simplemente bello, Muchas Gracias Roland Dyens
Absolument magnifique, Monsieur DYENS, et quel illustre professeur êtes-vous !
Odette
Without you I would have never thought this waltz suits the guitar. Marvelous!
Nice...learning it now off this clip (first heard Charlie Byrd's recording of this way back in the(H.S. days ;) on an old LP...(that was a stunning recording)..great post and performance here.Love your tone.
Majestueux,impressionnant de beauté.
I simply adore this guy. Amazing!!!
Very beautiful.....Bravo Roland Dyens
Buenísimo !!! Extraordinario !!! Mucho Feeling !!! Congratulation !!
Such a nice performance I could never imagine this song with guitar.
Great
Magnifique, arrangé à la perfection !
Grande, Grande, Grande..... il più estroso, il più geniale!
this guy looks a bit like the professor from back to the future,.
got the same impression when i opened this video :D
yeah, Dyens is the Doc. By his technique i would argue that he is from 2420
Tiago Teixeira lol true. I can't believe he play this song really good, i mean it's not his type of songs.
so schön Roland! tu es vraiment un artiste!
Philippe
I find this just beautiful. Love all the contrasts, and that F# at the beginning oh gorgeous.
Tony, I think you are correct. I had a second look and listen. It seems that the tuning shift is certainly on the A string but possibly the E and D as well. The top three strings appear to be at pitch. I'd like to buy the collection this is in, but it doesn't appear to be GSP.

Shut up mate
this music is to die for!
Wow. I'm surprised this sounds so good on guitar... piano pieces are usually very busy and with thick texture... this is a wonderful adaptation.
thanks. I agree the sound is bminor which is the correct original key, but look at where he plays bminor on the fretboard. It would appear to be aminor positions, which leads me to believe he's cranked the tuning up a whole step. i started working out just the first couple of measures by ear (i just put a capo on 2) and i think there's another tuning oddity elsewhere (maybe on string 3).

QUE HERMOSURA!!!! QUE OBRA!!!
Played to perfection.
beautiful arrangement, mr dyens is pure genius
FANTASTIC
Beautiful!
Отлично, сыграно 👏
INCREIBLE !!! yo toco la guitarra y eso es realmente dificil...pondre un boton de me gusta porque no hay uno de ME ENCANTA
Beautiful playing
Roland thanks forever.
Fantastic.....
This, as well, is the film music of "The Lover" /
w. Jane March, when she left Vietnam on board of a steam ship after the end of her love story.
Such impression that now will tear strings! Plays very well!
superbe !! Dyens is a genious
sedeeep...mantap banget
QEPD Maestro, Dios lo guarde.
Wonderful performance !
Had me in tears by the end.
Brilliant.
I now have the score. Tuning is as I said: 6F#, 5B. everything else normal.
