@villaborghesi So, to ellaborate on that. He wrote the piano solo part, whilst relying on his colleagues to help him write the orchestral part afterward. He did this practice for his piano concerti as well, but not for the pieces that call for piano accompaniment that he wrote, which were far and few.
Clara Schumann learned to play this in 8 days at the age of 12. She said it was the hardest piece she ever played. She also played Schumann's op. 2 (same op number as this Chopin) at age 12 and was not very happy when she saw puzzled looks on the audience faces while playing. Unknown to Clara and others at the time, Schumann op. 2 is also wonderful music.
Brilliante style shows fast and sparkling quality on 6:46 which is my favourite because it adds a beautiful atmosphere to my ears. But the bravura style starting around 10:09 or 10:10 is just out of this entire world. This really showcases the technical skill and prowess of the pianist’s performance. This style can really help create a lot of joy, passion and lively expression to my ears. So the bravura style is actually my top favourite due to its constant staccato technique while the fingers always have to jump rapidly from one key to another. Kun Woo Paik must had been an exceptional pianist at all time due to his wide range of expressions and style on the piano.

Interesting to realize that this was written the year Beethoven died - indeed, it may have been penned while he was still alive - and Schubert was not to die until the following year. Both were instrumental in laying the groundwork for Romanticism, but this is Romanticism in its purest form, of a kind that before this had not existed. A marvelous piece.
I just heard this on the radio. I told my daughter it sounded like a Mozart aria (which of course it is based on). I had to find out who wrote this. Amazing. Beautiful. Thank you.
This is brilliant stuff. While Chopin is not widely known for orchestral arrangement, this piece is quite the tour de force. Not only that he succeeded brilliantly at inter-weaving entrancing melodies from the Mozart opera into his own virtuoso, embellished style of playing.
@@glennbourque111 ruclips.net/video/-htKEcSIkRg/видео.html 0:11 - 0:17 theres a I - I minor - II7 - V7 - I chord progression. And in the chopin passage theres a I - I minor - II7 - V7 - I7 passage, really similar
@@pesto5518 My ear doesn't pick it up. Nevertheless, it's interesting you chose the Chopin variation as an example. I've listened and played Chopin most all my life - I thought I knew everything of consequence he wrote. This La ci darem I recently (just this year) became aware and can't listen enough. It's fantastic. Arrau made an excellent performance, similar to Kun-Woo Paik. Nevertheless I appreciate your time.

Chopin composed this when he was 17. I can hardly imagine someone can compose music with such ingenuity and maturity at such a young age.
Agree!!!
...he had help....

weird to think that beethoven was still around when Chopin wrote this

You could’ve at least put those ads at the beginning and at the end, not in the middle of the piece

Beautiful playing of Korean pianist Kun-Woo Paek. This piece is my favorite piece of Chopin, very delightful.

This is genius, honestly.
Great recording, very readable presentation. A delight on many levels.
SO THIS IS HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE
Lovely piece! Thanks for posting!
The Rondo is absolutely brilliant..
Awesome! I like the orchestral accompaniment
Your score video has been quoted on the Wikipedia page for the piece. Congrats!
If I ask somebody about their favourite Chopin, this would be the last thing I would expect them to answer.
Many thanks for posting this :)
this is the favorite chopin of two of my friends
@@SZ-wb1qb well it would still be the last thing I expect them to answer
@@segmentsAndCurves Apparently the popularity of the piece increased immensely after Yunchan Lim played it at cliburn.
my friends dont even listen to classical music
I love this piece so much
Agreed, it's fascinating for the piano to use variations of the pieces which creates a lot of different emotions to the listeners
Simplesmente genial, maravilhoso
since 06:46 thats rythm was the inspiration for a polish nationalist song about 1831 uprising Gdy naród do boju
weird to think that beethoven was still around when Chopin wrote this
Probably one of his hardest
The Bravura style is the hardest
the Adams theme in 5:16
unknown pianist name? so beautifully played very real CHOPIN piano touch
FYI, His name is often written 'Kun-Woo Paik'(As written in the description)
10:10
Didn’t expect Caleb to be here :)
This feels like discovering the second grande polonaise
2:00 - 2:13 is incredibly similar to beethoven piano concerto no.5
Ma dove ???
I don't hear Beethoven - my most favorite; second is Chopin - or vice versa. Impossible to know.

Is the orhcestra sheet Chopin's?
Yes
@@derekwang1962 lol
Wow
❤
5:20
chopin actually wrote and dedicated this peace to titus wojciechowski(a man) who was possible Chopin's lover😅
im the 1000th like
Maybe if he didn't suck at orchestration, he wouldn't have been such a genius on piano 🤷
Fede la rompe
