not only heart but a lot of technique

The brain has a lot to do with t as well.

🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏💕

Listen to Idil Biret's recording to fully understand it

La causa è che non suoni uno strumento

An extraordinary masterpiece!!

Nicht einmal Chopin wusste, was er damit geschrieben hatte.

Mag es auch Chopins tiefgründigste Klavierkomposition sein, an Listzs h-moll Sonate reicht es dennoch nicht ganz heran!

not only technique but a lot of heart...

I think the F minor Fantaisie is just as overshadowed by the Ballades and Scherzi. But imo both of them are his two greatest compositions, followed by the 3rd Sonata which is ALSO overshadowed, specifically by the funeral march.

True indeed.

You can't seriously think the B flat minor sonata is superior to the B Minor? I hope never to hear the B flat minor ever again, ditto the dreadful B flat minor scherzo.I think that the Polonaise Fantaisie is one of the very finest works, the f minor ballade is comparable, but not much else. Chopin is generally overrated and overplayed for me. The etudes are fabulous, a couple of waltzes, but the Nocturnes with their dreary middle sections you can forget. The first movement of the e minor concerto is beautiful for the piano, but sleep inducing for the orchestra. For me, Chopin was a conceited spoilt popinjay. Nothing like the depth of Schumann or the magnanimity and grandeur of Liszt. The proof also is that there have been many very great pianists who played not one note of Chopin.

Don't take it from me, take it from the legions of great pianists who never ( or barely) played him....... Let's start with Richter..... a few etudes, the E minor Scherzo, F minor ballade and of course, the Polonaise Fantasie, that's more or less his total interest in Chopin, and those that never did: Schnabel, Brendel ( apart an early recording of the Polonaises) Edwin Fischer, Annie Fisher too, Backhaus ( apart from an early recording of the Etudes) Myra Hess, Clifford Curzon......... I could go on and on. Look, I know why you like him, as have countless millions of others. It's easy on the ear and the heartstrings, popular stuff. The all Chopin piano recital is now thankfully pretty much consigned to the dustbin, but it was once like that. It's the same reason why people like Rachmaninov. Sweet and sugary, easy on the ear , not challenging for the casual listener of classical music. What did Brendel say when asked about Rachmaninov? I think he said that he would not want to overestimate his abilities as a composer....... damning with faint praise. As for the popinjay martinet Chopin, on receiving in the post the first printing of Schumann's Kreislerana, dedicated to him, what did he say about it ....?....."Nice cover"....... even though Chopin could NEVER have composed a work as profound and deep as Schumann's masterpiece. And to say that his late works achieve the profundity of late Beethoven ( or any Beethoven).......I'm sorry, that's just wholly misguided, and wrong.

bruh the comment above you.

Genius? He's not fit to lick Chopins boots , Marc Andre Hamelin is far better than this overrated pianist

@@ciararespect4296 respect all pianists he does his best and everyone has his own taste.

@@ciararespect4296 This is not a popularity contest, sir. In any case, you are entitled to your shallow opinion. Most of the world would find your insult of the greatest young pianist in the present day most inappropriate and mistaken. I'm afraid you need to have your head and ears checked.

@@ciararespect4296but he won third? Martha argerich also said he has great technique. I also agree, he is a genius.

Es extraordinario. Me emociona ver cómo entrega su alma cuando toca con tanta pasión. Y pensar que sólo tenía 19 años. Es un placer ver sus manos y su expresión facial.🌹🌹🌹

@@sulimabarba2935 pienso y siempre he dicho exactamente lo mismo. Tus palabras son mis palabras ♥️

That was Niecks. Liszt rather expressed misunderstanding in his monograph.

Ikr.. wtf

Remarkable, he has a pre soul and sensitivity

Then bake them together : )

Одной части техники или сердца будет очень мало

eXactly ❤️

You got that right

You got that right

You got that right

I can not understand the story this polonaise is telling, because of the abundance of melodies it contains.

Disagree. His playing is shallow and empty. Although Trifonov plays with great technical proficiency there is not ONE note that is uniquely personal or creative or communicative in any way. Avdeeva played with some creativity. She is doing quite well now. Oh! And SHE WON.

@@LazlosPlane Chacun a son gout

@@lynnhamilton3252 Precisement!

@@LazlosPlane honestly no one cares about her anymore and its stupid to call trifonov uncreative

@@asalj4014 It is VERY stupid and ill-informed to say that no one cares about her. She actually quite a following. You are not among them. As for Trifonov, if you were able to comprehend through the blinders of your prejudice, you would realize that my comment referred specifically to the competition.

not only technique but a lot of heart...

but technique.

Because Internet.

Not only technique but a lot of technique

Trifonov did not win ......

Trifonov had a lot of slips in the competition. He became much better later on though

Hahahah

Hahaha

is he bad now? what happened? I was really really begging all the gods in heaven that Trifonov never burns out of playing piano. He's a godsend.

sean44david it’s FAZOLI sound!

how can we reduce the reverberation of a piano?

This wasn't the final round. The final round was a concerto competition and he was the third best person to play it.

He didn't win 1st prize because he's not a rational stable performer. This polonaise is meaningless in his hands, this is such a very difficult piece to play musically, that Avdeeva, which is consistent, can play much better. Trifonov have marvelously and terrible performances while Avdeeva is always in high standards.

@@LuisKolodin I saw Trifonov play this piece in masterclass with Richard Goode, and Goode said his entire conceptualization of the piece is so off-base that he didn't even know where to start. This was after Goode gave really encouraging and helpful feedback to 2 prior performers. Goode basically walked off the stage after hearing Trifonov play this. It was shocking but illustrative of how many great pianists see Trifonov's antics.

@@tekraynak this is a very difficult (musically speaking) piece indeed. one must know the exact meaning of each note, otherwise it simply falls apart.

@Drosophila Melanogaster listen to Avdeeva though.

@Drosophila Melanogaster whatever. I don't care about an empty opinion of someone who can't discuss music in rational terms and just insulted me.

His playing is not horrible. He is a gifted artist and was 19 years old. May be was not a perfect performance but he certainly has great technique and a passionate soul.

Seeing your negative comments on people like Kate Liu, Babayan and Trifonov while praising Avdeeva shows how bad your taste is, pretty embarrassing
