Thank you very much! Stay safe, stay healthy and stay in the Heart of the Keys!;P
Hey everyone… I know this recording is not perfect and there would be many technical and interpretational things I would point out normally. However, when I recorded it this morning, I didn’t care about it at all. I just wanted to play and let my emotions run. I am not good with words and right now I am not having the best time of my life so expressing myself through music seems to be the only way to truly deal with my feelings. I hope all of you are doing well and if you are also going through some hard times now - I feel you and I wish you lots of strength. Broken hearts will be healed by time and music I guess.
I'm sorry to hear that... I know it must not be easy. Your playing doesn't have to be perfect for us to appreciate it. I hope you get better. Ink and time; nothing is eternal. And as someone with a broken heart, this heals me.
Hey Annique! I hope you feel better and thanks a ton for your persistance in providing us with these beautful recordings :)
To All Broken Hearts... Nocturne op.48 no.1 next ? 🙏
you are so lovely ! Thank you for sharing you passion with the world! You are my favorite pianist right now, not just because of your technical ability, which as a piano teacher I have learned much good advice from you ! Mostly because you are approachable, have made the piano accessible to all - despite skill level. I have had some many snooty people in my world from playing this instrument and as a music student in college. you are a breath of fresh air!!
Your expression in music is exactly as it should be in the moment. Much love Annique!❤🌹🌷🌺💐🌹
Take care ya🎵🎹🎶❤️
This video feels like a hug that I've needed for almost a year now.
Thank you so much annique.
This piece is 188 years old and damn, sounds so modern, so emotional, Chopin always will be on of the best keyboard player of all time. 🎹❤
This is perfect timing for me, exactly perfect timing. I have been having some of the worst days of my life the past week or so, and the only thing keeping me afloat has been music. I appreciate this and I feel as though God is trying to let me know that I am far from the only one suffering. That “art redeems the soul” as I heard a professor of mine say once. This piece especially breaks me, I see everything I’ve ever loved in it. Thank you.
suffering too. hang in there. god has a plan for all of us sinners. we just need to accept jesus' love.
I will pray for you brother. I'm also going through a time where things feel bleak. God bless you.
the quick breath at 6:50 was elite
There was a time when everything I played reminded me of her. Today, the memory of her reminds me of why I never stopped playing. Have a sweet recovery, Ann.
Tough to hear. I myself have been having a quite a hard time lately too. I think I've been pushing myself too much. Don't know about you, but take care of yourself, I wish you the best. Really enjoyed watching some of your videos, quite entertaining ^^ :).
Im so sorry for whatever you are going through, but I truly wish the best for you as you are the pianist who inspired me to get better and practice without getting bored or losing interest. We love you Annique!!
I was struggling with my emotions these days and then you suddenly drop this video 😭😭😭😭😭 I love you for doing this ❤
I feel as though sometimes when we make mistakes in playing, it can be our emotions trying to break through this seal of perfection we try to put up. But it’s never perfect, as music is never without emotion.
Isn’t it emotions that really make music perfect? 😊
In my case they’re just screw ups though. 😂
Sometimes our emotional vision of a piece goes galloping ahead, before the technique catches up..
This Ballade along with the F minor and A Flat are pieces I couldn't live without. I used to play the G minor and I've heard countless artists play it. You played this piece like it was the love of your life! Bravo. It was very beautifully played. I love hearing it played as you did. Best wishes! The sun will shine brightest for you very soon. :)
Good luck for you, and thank since all these years for making such good quality content for free, and wish you the best and a lot of strength 😢😊❤
Hugs to you, Annique. I’m going through a tough time too. The other day I was looking for pieces to learn that would help me express some of my emotions. Thank you for sharing yours. ❤
Ja, man hat gesehen, dass es Dir in letzter Zeit nicht so gut geht (traurige Augen, Augenringe, und so weiter),. Alles Gute! Gute Besserung! 🍀 PS: Mein Herz war auch gebrochen, als ich gestern erfahren habe, dass Würzburg ausfällt.
Hugs Annique. That soothed my soul, thank you, and I hope yours feels better soon too.
The music played does not either have to be, or need be, perfect. What it needs is for the performer to convey feelings and emotions through their rendition. You certainly have done that with this piece. I found it very moving and enjoyable.
All 'good music', however you define it, has powerful emotional content, which is not a zero-sum component. Many thanks to this young woman for her sensitive and skilful rendition of one of Chopin's much-loved pieces.
Your heartfelt sharing of your experiences and emotions during difficult times, along with your soulful playing, deeply touched me. I found myself overwhelmed with empathy, tears rolling down my cheeks. Thank you for sharing your passion and artistry through your music. May it bring healing to us all.
This filled my broken heart with warmth and catharsis. What a beautiful performance, I aspire to this level of expression as an artist. Music heals!!!!
The music is our best medicine
I clicked so fast that I broke my finger... 😂
By the way, your interpretation is unique and i really like it! And even if it's not perfect, we can see that you are much more comfortable with this beautiful piece. Lot of hard work here 🤩
You inspire me Annique and you have all my support, fighting !! 💪
See you in Paris! 😊
i'm also dealing with heartbreak at the moment thanks for sharing
AMAZING STUNNING 10/10!!!
Of the times people broke my heart, now I feel really thankful that I didn't end up with them.
How true!!! Tomorrow is a new day and the sun will shine bright again.
While it isnt perfect, I feel like it adds character to the performance and gives your emotions a chance to shine. Hope whatever you're going through gets better
Very lovely performance.
I really feel your pain in your interpretation, this is gorgeous. Thank you for ignoring the little missed notes and let us enter in your emotions. Bon courage Annique
No words, just wow.
I don't normally comment on videos. However, this one is special, nowadays I feel like the amount of pianists on RUclips that truly show there emotions instead of just acting for the camera, is dwindling. This imo is one of the purest interpretations of a pianist showing their raw emotions, and illustrating the chills and goosebumps flowing through them throughout the piece. Great job.
Such a gorgeous interpretation and you’ve brought out colors and textures that I have not heard before. also you’ve got such an elegant rubato it made we well up. I sincerely wish you peace and healing at this time
Im also not having the best time right now in terms of relationships as well. We had a very unexpected break up and im trying to recover from it.
I just hope we both will find a partner that stays and matches perfectly.
Everytime I hear this ballade, all I can think about is "Your lie in April" 🥺
Beautiful, I hope the healing will go through your body, heart and spirit.
Absolutely moving, heart warming!
When words fail, music speaks. Raw, emotional and beautiful......thank you.
wish I could still learn to play as skillfully as you.
interresting how much time you took for the end end =)
I can imagine Chopin doing that too
thx for sharing, very well play, she is always good to ear
Thank you for this touching interpretation! This is my favorite song for life and you played exactly with the feeling that this song needs imo
I hope y'all find joy again 🌞
Your playing is so damn emotionally loaded especially from 06:56 on. I get shivers
I agree. Especially her interpretation of those extatic, happy parts is to me the best I've ever heard.
This was gorgeous, Annique. Expressive, heartfelt, and really moving as a result.
Thank you
Well done! Perfection is in the ear of the listener.
I don't know much about the interpretation of Chopin, but I that was fresh and I really felt it.
Very beautiful, thank you for this! Music moves the Soul!
Don‘t worry be happy. Es gibt nicht viele Menschen auf der Erde, die dieses einzigartige Werk so wiedergeben können. Als ich es mit 15 Jahren zufällig im Radio hörte, war ich geschockt fürs Leben. Nelson Freire, bin mir aber nicht sicher. Bin mir auch nicht sicher, ob ich es ein zweites Mal angehen möchte. Alles Gute ❤️.Eins ist sicher: Sie haben dieses Werk verstanden.
I could listen to this all day.
That's how music truly should be exressed - through the emotions. No amount of technical nuances may improved it more that pure feelings.
So sorry… may your beautiful music continue to cradle your spirit, serve as an emotional balm, and gently guide you through to better days.
A lovely controlled piece. Chopin should be played with beautiful expression. You did it. Well done. Will be nice to hear you play again.
Stunning. Art is supposed to speak aloud what the rest of us can only think and feel. Here, you are creating true art. Freedom of expression using music as an almost transparent medium, to go from your deepest insides directly into the audience’s. Distinct phrasing, seemingly unhurried, speaking whole ideas through dynamics, slight and purposeful rubato, spare use of the pedal so that nothing is blurred - as painful as it may be, I urge you to start playing everything in your repertoire with this much depth and freedom. This performance stands out as unique where other interpretations tend to be indistinguishable. Yesterday you were a very fine pianist; today you are a genius.
Thank you, dear Annique. Brava! ❤
This was inspiring ❤️
I'm classically trained but I've had a feeling of disconnect from classical music in the past few years. Your music spoke to me tonight, so thank you for sharing. I hope your heart heals well 🥹
So beautiful!! 😍😍😍
So beautiful!! 😍😍😍
Beautiful interpretation. Hugs to you, Annique. ❤
you’re timing was spot on, i needed this
This playing is magnifique. I've listened to it on loop a couple of times now and I'm still going. I can really feel the expression through your playing. Thank you for this. Came at the perfect time
The best piece with the best pianist
I don't like believing an artist has to suffer to create something beautiful.
But damn, it is beautiful when they do.
Thank you for sharing your art with us
A moving and beautiful performance! I heard things I have not heard before. And it came from the heart. Thank you!
Beautifully played with deep emotions. Things will be great for you and will resolve positively.
Sad as it is sorrowful emotions often tend to produce the best music. It makes it reach so much further than it otherwise might.
that is beauty beyond words
I needed this, yesterday I listened to it while reading the score... Perfect timing
It’s crazy how your music can bring joy. Thank you for everything Annique that was sensational !
I'm so sorry fo your difficult time, but it brought out a deeply engaging performance and I'm so grateful that you have shared it. I wish you much happier times, but the same depth of music!
Splendid playing and interpretation! Thanks for sharing!
I know how it feels Annique. Im dealing with things myself. Just know you are a very talented pianist and seem like a very sweet person. You will heal and bounce back better. Love from the US ❤
You have performed this piece 10x better than I can. It motivates me to master this piece even more and to push through hard times in life so I appreciate your persistence. Thank you :)
Thoroughly enjoyed this piece even though I am not into classical music. Truly played with your heart ♥
Needed this performance, thank you 🥹
@heartofthekeys you are really getting me much more interested in Chopin. Thank you!
This is the the best version that I have heard
Very beautiful 😊😊
Thanks for posting this. I can relate to what you're saying and am revising this piece myself for performance in the spring.Prayers and good wishes!🙏
This was spectacular and inspirational. Well done!
❤so beautifull!!! Thank you 🙏
I met a girl in april.
This recording truly brightened my day!! Thank you for sharing :)
Really loved the tempo and the interpretation. What a beautiful way to perform such iconic and legendary work. Really proud of you 🤍🤍🤍
Very expressive and contemplative performance, Annique. I really enjoyed that. Hope you’re well.
Bravo, your best recording yet. Ballade 1 is a challenge, and you faced it well.
Absolutely beautiful, this piece is one of my favorites and I will definitely be watching this video many many more times
Wishing you the best ❤
very beautiful. thank you
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.(Matthew 5:4 ESV)
May God bless you.... and I'll pray for you
Thank you Annique, you are the best.
Amazing, Thank You!!❤❤
THANKS❤❤❤. 😊HELLO FROM FINLAND🙂🙋🏻♂️
Today I’ll lend you George Sand’s clothes, a fabulous cigar and an hour with the master himself. Such a fine time you’ll have! 🫂
Listening to this I realised every other recording I listened too has way too much pedal. That more staccato feeling makes the more flowing sections cut deep, it’s captivating. Your broken heart gave us something beautiful to hear
I love this performance!
yeah this is amazing. ur an absolute inspiration yo. that staccato part at around 6 mins was so heavenly, and the coda was really well played. im working to get to ur level one day, so thank you for your playing 🙏
I just love the fast parts are played with so much clarity, and intensity... usually recordings show a more chaotic mood but loosing clarity... I really love your version... I just started learning this ballade yesterday
Even if you say this performance is not perfect I still find it amazing to see a raw run, to say. Thank you for all those beautiful memories, watching and listening to your music, you gave me ❤
J'espère, du fond de mon coeur, que tu iras mieux très vite 😊
I’m sorry you’re going through a tough time, and thank you for sharing such a heart-felt performance! Chopin’s music brings out such rich dynamics of emotions, but what I like even more is even in the darkest of the melodies, he resolves them with a happy chord or phrase, which always gives me hope.
For instance, this is what I feel listening to the section starting from 2:27. It starts out with uncertainty and wariness, which builds into an undeniable tension, leading to the heat of the moment where tempers flare and glass shatters, sinking into circles of repeated arguments, but eventually and gradually resolving the tension with an F major arpeggio. It’s that final resolution that gives meaning to all those struggles
I have been through some tough time. And playing Chopin is my way of going through them, though i don’t think I will ever touch this piece, which is the true love of my heart. Thanks for making my life more colorful. You are delighting the life of others. Hope you cheer up soon and everything is going well soon!
Annique we are with you. You are the greatest pianist currently at least for me. Life can bring us hard exams sometimes. But maybe reading this will feel you a little bit better. you are the reason why I started to learn classical music. You inspired me everywhere of this piano journey. Now I have an aim for playing piano. I was watching to your videos all the time when I was feeling low about anything. Your energy and positivity and motivation changed a lot things in my life. Now my goal is to be a pianist like you, and maybe someday meet with you and thank to you face to face. You are really important for me. I hope and pray for you to pass this exam easier. Believe me every cloud has a silver lining. I am sure you will get through this. Thank you for everything. You are more than you think. Huge love from Turkey. We love you a lot🖤
This is the interpretation I was looking for. True emotions portayed in a such pure playing. The technique may not be perfect but your playing is screaming so loud what you are feeling right now that it makes it perfect its own way. I hope your soul will heal soon and wish you the best Annique
Very good interpretation in my opinion!
When will you upload ballade no 2 and no 3?!! I'd love to hear you playing them
loved it...youre my inspiration...bravo.
