    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.

      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!❤🌹🌷🌺💐🌹

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Alles Gute ❤️.Eins ist sicher: Sie haben dieses Werk verstanden.

  • @gregorsamsa4580
    @gregorsamsa4580 День назад +2

    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.

    @jerryshi8394 День назад +1

    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

    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🖤
