Chopin was indeed the undisputed "poet of the piano." The beauty and sublimity of this piece when played at this tempo is nothing less than astounding. Thanks for this slow rendition. Bravo!
Important video. Very important video. This is among the important videos on youtube. Bravo. It is incredible how much more we hear of chopin's work this way.
Thank you for your super slow version, i'am leaning chopin prelude no24 opus 28 . And your version help me to listen the note, and how to play it clearly , because i'm a blind person , and i can't see the music sheet on the book of Chopin institude
Sir first thank you so much for posting this video Second can I practice this piece on metronome I am afraid because it has such longs runs in right hand
There is one thing that drives me crazy concerning this prelude, which has nothing to do with you personally. You are, unfortunately, not the only one who repeats constantly this unexplainable mistake. Almost every pianist out there, famous or less famous, plays the sixth last bar of this prelude totally wrong: Instead of two pairs of quintuplets (5+5) everyone (including you, even in this slow tempo and even with the score in front of you) plays instead: 6 + 4. It's just crazy that every single pianist out there (check for yourself) hasn't realise at all how wrong they are. Every single pianist in the Chopin Competition plays the bar wrongly - and I'm sure that the judges pay no attention whatsoever, since all of them play the bar wrongly as well! Watch for example the video called «Garrick Ohlsson Breaks Down Chopin Preludes | Ep. 1 The Chopin Podcast» uploaded just two weeks ago. There, the famous and celebrated pianist Garrick Ohlsson (jury chairman for the 2025 Chopin Competition) plays at 42:15 this particular bar, while the score with its beautiful... quintuplets is been shown on the screen. Well, he plays nothing else than 6+4. 🤕There is also a comment written by myself on that video, which still waits patiently for any kind of reply. The only two pianists I could find who play the bar correctly are Andras Schiff and Mikhail Pletnev.
Big deal. You make a mountain out of a molehill. I found a mistake in Liszt's arrangement of Schubert's Ave Maria. Liszt made an obvious mistake in a rhythm that Schubert didn't write (in the opening bars), and therefore, I think every pianist on the planet is stupid for not discovering this like I have. I could go on, but you see the point.
@@BachScholar You are equating two totally different situations that are not comparable whatsoever. The one has to do with research and the other is something obvious and undisputed - in front of everyone's eyes. Do we agree on that? And, please, nowhere did I say that pianists are stupid. I am just pointing to the fact that pianists (and their teachers as well) simply don't see or, even worse, ignore Chopin's thoroughly thought, precise and highly tricky notation, which otherwise becomes simply too conventional and comfortable. That's my point. But if someone modifies on purpose any given printed musical text, then she or he has to have very convincing arguments for doing that. And in this case there is none.

Lovely and restful
I like it
can you play the thirds in right hand going at a full speed whilst keeping up speed with the five note pattern in left hand ?
yes
If yes then please guide me with what tempo should I start on
thx
I would like to see you do a livestream Q and A - I think your fans would have a lot of good questions to ask you and we could donate to you

this piece is listed in the Chopin's Super slow videos sub-section of the WRP website but there is no video... will you upload it at some point?
Thanks for pointing that out. I just forgot to put the link on the "Chopin Super-Slow" page. It should be there now.
