SO WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS!!!!! Thank you for my favourite Chopin's Prelude known as "Hades" in an excellent rendition and for your analysis/tutorial, your great video will be helpful for many pianists, but this masterpiece is beyond my abilities, as every day my best regards, have a nice evening.

19:00 , its moving to the relative major(Db) instead of Bb minor via a Ab7 instead of F7 And at 19:58, there is also a passing modulation to A minor as the bass plays an E natural

I love this piece, thinking of a short, fast, rage, and a virtuoso piece maybe it is my favourite, so simple and objective, but at the same time so expressive.

@@gregniemczuk You are brilhant! How do you manage learning all these pieces so fast? You should give us a video about how you developed yourself, your process of learning and methods, with general tips for the daily routine, right? It would be amazing! You are already an authority in the art of piano playing for many of us, giving us so much already, and therefore you have more than a permission for such. Actually, I really want this. I think you have the best content in this plataform among all contets about piano I know, and I think you are a great pianist. Watching you is a real privillege for me. Thank you a lot for your lectures in uvres complètes de Chopin, I can see all the effort and matter. So I really apreciate and admire you for everything: your passion, talent, etc. Just wanna say thank you... please don't you ever think about giving up with this series, it means so much! I hope your are rewarded someday, somehow!👏🙌🙂

Measures 8 and 9---that right hand syncopation in the 16ths is something like a prelude to barrelhouse piano style--and an intro to ragtime music in the 1900s. This also happens in measures 24 and 25 in that prelude--a ragtime-like style again.

Greg, I know that you don't think the preludes are supposed to be played as a set, but I really believe this one to be the continuation of the "Raindrop" prelude. The explosive chords in the relative minor key just after the fading away of prelude 15 in seem to explosively liberate the tension caused by the repeated note in the Dflat Major. Anyway it is just my opinion, but the first time I heard this prelude was just after listening to the previous, and they seem to complete each other

You didn't mention anything about the opening measure, but I don't understand the opening measure can have 4 beats with 6 quarter notes. Can you explain that? It does not appear to be anacrusis.

Great lecture, Greg! When I heard this prelude for the first time in my life, I couldn't believe it was composed by Chopin. Even after playing it, I still feel like it was some sort of "hommage" to Alkan. It reminds me a lot of his "le chemin de fer". kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5OFkqZ6l62dfps.html

You wouldn't write that knowing that for 1,5 year I must make analyses of ALL Chopin's music, and not all of the pieces I had in my repertoire... So that's almost impossible to do. This performance was the maximum I could do in such a short time. Next year I'll record complete Chopin music and than you can judge it.

@@gregniemczuk they’re telling a POLISH pianist that they aren’t playing Chopin correctly 😂 you can feel his music in your soul. I can understand how difficult it is to execute this like Ashkenazy or Kissin.. but as you said, you learned all 24 in 1.5 years. HIGHLY impressive. Can’t wait to hear the full performances in their grand glory!
