without a doubt!

lucky for me to found this soon

I am glad you did too. Do you still listen to it?

The old man is long since deceased bud...

@@00fen Wait, actually?

both Robert Schumann and Clara Schumann had some really high opinions on this piece

The same to ARRAU !!!

Applies to Bruce Liu too. Just liszten.

For a 17- or 18-year-old, though not as complicated/crazy as his later works (even within the next two-four years), it still sounds incredibly groundbreaking for the time and his age. (Listening to it, the dedication does seem to make so much sense, too if you know a bit of personal history on the composer).

"Hats off, a genius" This is what Schumann wrote after hearing it.

yes mine also!

You mean we like our edition, comrade Stalin

@@kunaionfn3121 LMAO

Chopin bien-sûr

Oh my god!

One time I was tinkering around with this tune on the piano and my mom leans over the bannister and says: "Are you playing the Lumberjack Song??:" No, Mom, but I will now ;)

Hilarious, because it's true!

And that is probably why Robert had depression😂

Who wouldn't hate Clara Schumann's father...?

Schumann was a kind of "sociopath" and a problematic personality. He was also obsessed against the belcanto italian composers and especially about G. Donizetti. He said that his opera "la Favorita" was full of bad "circus-music".

Schumann did have some choice words about Chopin’s preludes. I’m thinking they came from a place of jealousy

Are you meaning that this deserved more or less dislikes?

Wonder what lousy crap of mudic thei like.

@@rtxa LESS !!!

@@marcosviniciosribeirocompo1137 Wow, after 9 months I get a response Yeah, I agreed, I was just kidding :)

@@rtxa Probably they don´t like Arrau !!!...Poor souls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What on earth are you talking about?

yes, it's best skipped. The rest is very good though ;)

Funny because the 2nd is my fav :')

This is a claim generated by a very stupid, and bizarre personal wish; you wont find out much about Chopin being homosexual because it isn't at all accurate to reality.

@@OiledUpFatMan Chopin wasn't gay, but he was bisexual, although he never really showed that side of him publicly. There is plenty of proof that he wasn't only straight. If you keep saying that this is not true, then know you're just denying the truth.

@@vincent-ataramaniko Quote me a source supporting that, and preferably one from a credible Chopin biographer, because otherwise that claim is complete bullshit, and you know it. If you have "the truth," than present the goddamn truth. Don't run away screaming, "take my word for it! If not - then know that you just deny the truth!!" These are the words of a fraud who is completely insecure in their position.

@@OiledUpFatMan I don't have to do you that favour. If you want an information, you can dig it out yourself. I couldn't care less whether you want to believe it or not. But reading the letters he wrote to his childhood friend would be a good first step.

​@@vincent-ataramaniko A "favor"? You providing evidence to support your own ridiculous claim - which apparently is a claim that you are absolutely certain is accurate - is doing ME a "favor"?? The childhood letters don't mean anything relative to your position. You are talking about drawing fundamental conclusions about a person by referring to formalized writing practices of the early 19th century - practices of written language that everyone who wrote letters in 1800s Europe (particularly rural Poland) would have participated in. Telling a best friend, "I have love for you," in a letter in 1820 does not have the same connotation as it does today. It was a totally different society. Your shitty "evidence" means nothing. You can't even offer the name of this friend you are fantasizing about - but you know the real truth? It's completely ridiculous; you have nothing.
