Chopin is the best composer. I really love his compositions, he's seriously underrated, when compared to other composers, like Beethoven or Mozart. Even though he did not compose any symphonies or operas (Actually I'm not that big of a fan of symphonies), whatever he did compose for the Solo piano is just beautiful.

lol, yes he's the best but he's not underrated. he's part of the BBC (Beethoven / Bach / *_Chopin_* )

also, I'd argue he's the best composer for the piano, the best composer was Beethoven.

I appreciate how you overlaid the different A-Sections! That visual gives a good representation of how he used variation. Keep up the good work!

Chopin's music is very heartfelt for me, considering, my brother had died during the 2004 tsunami.

Thank You for this video. I absolutely love Chopin. So much so that I visited his grave site some 20 years ago in Paris and his monument in Warsaw. I fell in love with works when I heard Van Cliburn's performance of his works.

Glad you enjoyed it. I can only imagine what it was like to visit his monuments! That must have been an amazing trip.

Gracias por crear este video! es mi composición favorita y apreciarla con tus comentarios ha sido muy satisfactorio, ahora aprecio aún más esta obra de arte. Gracias!

Excellent video-very informative!! Perhaps this was beyond the scope of this video, but the topic of rubato, so aptly featured in the recording, might have added to Chopin's compositional style. Again, well done!

It's supposed to be 132 bpm but it's Adante? Why is everyone ingoring the metronome mark? Even though that tempo (132 bpm) is allegro.

@lucasramos253 3 жыл бұрын

If I am not mistaken, at that time, around 1820 there were not many metronomes, so the time signture were more like a guide on how to interpret. So Andante would mean something like a peaceful walk
