I just love your analysis videos. You never get technical enough for me, not much about how to play. But the way you describe the flow is eye opening! The 2 short, one long; questions and answers; you even show the different parts of the difficult falling parts; all this gives me a new perspective in how to play this song that I've never seen anywhere else. Bravo Grzegorz!

Sei fantastico Greg bravissimo! Ascolto e suono da 35 anni da amatore autodidatta, qualche pezzo del grande Maestro e ogni volta che seguo i tuoi video mi trasmetti una gioia incredibile, la conferma del mio grande trasporto per la sua immensa arte. Amo Chopin con tutto me stesso e tu riesci ogni volta a confermare quanto questo meraviglioso Artista abbia, nei suoi pochi anni di vita, creato con la sua musica. Incredibile. Grazie.

I enjoyed this piece very much, with its bristling a part and the heartfelt opera aria in the b part, so i chose it as my 3rd Chopin piece for public performance after Minute walz and etude op 25, 1, a choice that was also dictated by the circumstances (only short pieces allowed and uplifting mood preferred). A bit brushing over it in explanation mode, no wonder, its not that easy, especially with the multitasking, hehe. Oh yes the Bass in the b part, i believe its a Variation of the idea of overcoming resistance, it symbolizes an inner conflict, heavy mood that is gradually overcome during the b part, so that why it does not return.

I love the middle part of this piece so much! 😍 Your French prononciation wasn’t too bad but it still made me smile. 😆 I am sure you would laugh as well if you heard me trying to speak polish! 🤡 I’ve heard speaking to ourselves is a sign of intelligence. I do it all the time as well. We are not crazy, we are smart! 🤩🤣

Hi, Greg! Thanks for the great video. I would like to recommend you my 93 years old teacher interpretation of this piece. She recorded every Impromptu, a couple Nocturnes, three Etudés and some other stuff in this Chopin-only album. We are brazilian, by the way. I find her interpretation very poetic, even though the recording wasn't well uploaded to KZfaq, resulting in poor quality. Thanks again for the quality content and keep it up! PS: She recorded the whole album in one take!

My Dear Gregg, this impromptu is fantastic, in my opinion you have the answer, of what Chopin was trying to explain, he actually wanted or wishing for a better life, looking and implying for a change in his life, and also for his country and not be able to do anything,.and also ,no hope to see his family, how lmportan it is for us too,.

Actually can someone explain why chopin impromptus are quite so fast? For example when compared to the nocturnes. Because, if you improvise something on the spot, you are unlikely to be able to play it at such speed. It looks to me that comparatively, if someone tell me one of the genre are improvised, i would say the some of the nocturnes, or even some of the chopin preludes are improvised. But definitely not the impromptus.😊 I dont really know much about the melody form and structure of whatever it is called. But the speed and the lack of time to think make the impromptu totally unlike what i assume improvisation on the spot should be like.

Well, Chopin took the time and made the effort to write the pieces down (he dreaded that), so they are not real improvisations. They may have started as such, but became compositions. He was indeed a master improviser, however, and some contemporaries said his improvisations were magical and often even better than his compositions (hard to believe). Since he was called a one-of-a-kind pianist (even by Liszt) and a genius as well, it's not impossible that he could improvise in very fast tempo. He was insanely quick-witted and known for his original and funny come-backs in conversations, which indicates a fast moving, agile mind. But he also often had a hard time to classify his pieces. Some ended up as Fantasia or Impromptu for not fitting any other class. Some of his Waltzes could be Nocturnes, some of his Nocturnes are Waltzes as well. His classification system was as liquid as his music. :)

True! Also, the melody of the first theme in the 2nd Impromptu is probably a diminution of the melody of the second section of this piece at 20:25, in a major key. It will sound very similar when you listen to them one after another.
