Bravo and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've been listening to this piece on repeat for many years now (on and off) and I learned many new analyses/interpretations because of how you explained it.

Thank you for this great analysis! You were able to put words on things I felt, but couldn't articulate properly while listening to this fantastic piece (the meaning of the very first note, the motivic links of the intro with the rest of the piece, etc). I've watched a couple of your Chopin analysis, and I must say your deep understanding of theses pieces is quite remarkable. I haven't stumbled upon a content like this on KZfaq since Andras Schiff's lectures on the Beethoven's sonatas. Keep on doing these videos, you are bound to reach a lot more people! Greetings from Quebec

Perfect execution of Chopin' s masterpiece. Exact timinig for this peace as Chopin wanted. Great great Greg! Thanks so much.

I'm so grateful to you for giving us deep insights, thank you love from India! 🙏

5:55 Start of analysis 6:14 6:28 is the Intro connected to rest of piece 6:39 Intro played 7:58 It is connected - here is how 8:13 8:24 First theme 9:13 Two notes - suspension - tension released 10:30 Back to Intro Starts with one note 10:54 then a chord going up

You are a really fascinating man, thanks for these videos 😁

Thank you for this!

Thank you for offering so much insight into this wonderful Polonaise. I live in Canada from Polish ancestry. Naturally, I love to play Chopin and by listening to you it inspires me to want to learn this Polonaise . I enjoy all your lectures on Chopin pieces.

This is one of my favorite pieces and all I can say is thank you for unveiling some of its mysteries and making me reflect deeper about it! I appreciate so much all your hard work as I'm sure all your viewers do as well! Please keep going! Your passion I felt so clearly and encourages me so much as a musician! Wishing you all things wonderful in this life!

Wonderful! Thank you.

I really enjoy your thoughts on this music! I have always been puzzled by the lyrical section on this piece as well. I feel it has the mood of a mazurka, but without the typical rhythm...

Amazing video!! I really enjoyed it 😁

I am practising this masterpiece thesedays. Your analysis definately help me understand the music better!

Thanks!

Thank you very much for your video ! In enjoyed your deep analysis, enthousiastic style, and well-thought interpretation of this marvelous piece. And the same compliment applies to your other videos on Chopin’s masterpieces !

Bravo! This was both an inspiring lecture and an uplifting interpretation. Thank you very much! Mike Minihane from Massachusetts, USA.

Fantastic analysis

Thinking about listening the Mr C. actually play, his own AND others pieces, too, blows my mind.

Great video!! Congratulations! Best regards, Georgios Marinakis, Istanbul, Turkey :)

Thank you for your generosity and for the powerful vibes, I really loved this video and everything you say here is so fascinating, it brings our interpretation to the next level! There is a lot of deepness to what you say, I had countless music teachers and many of them just teach students to read the scores and press keys, understanding the core of the music we play is so essential but it looks like often it is not given to everyone.

Ahoj Greg :).Your video tutorials are amazing, full of emotions and enthusiasm. I truly enjoy watching your piano channel.

I love your devotion. I teachers in my country were Iike you. Thanks. You matter to me ❤️🎼❤️

Ehi Greg, it would be very interesting an analysis of the harmony of the pieces - details of chords, changing, modulations etc...

I wish I could give you more than one like!

Akurat celuje w mojej drodze nauki gry na fortepianie w nauke gry poloneza as dur op 53. Bardzo dobrze jest zapoznac sie z tym utworem tak dokladnie z Pana pomocą. Świetnie pouczajace. Pozdrawiam z Polski.

Merci! 🌷🥰🌷🥰🌷

Wow! Your lecture was so exciting! This was the first time I heard an analysis of this familiar and famous polonaise. learned a lot! Thank you 🙏, your passion for music has always inspired me and of course your playing. I was lucky enough to find you on the Internet, an outstanding Polish pianist. I have always liked Eastern European music, folk melodies with singing and dancing... I just heard a Chinese music critic last night talking about a Chinese piano concerto called "Yellow River" created by China's "collective composers" during the Cultural Revolution in the 1970s. This play is adapted from the oratorio "Yellow River" created in 1930 when Japan occupied the birthplace of Chinese civilization. She said this concerto was deeply influenced by Chopin. After listening to your lecture today, I really understood what she was talking about. Yes, the familiar Polonaise waves of the Yellow River. Merry Christmas ！

I’m 66 and have lost much of the dexterity that I once had. Having said that, this piece was never attainable for me. Despite that, I have decided to torture myself (and everyone else in hearing distance) by giving it my best shot. I’m hoping you can give me some advice. In the past, the way that I learned pieces was to first get all of the notes and fingering in my hands and then worry about voicing. Based on your video, I’m rethinking this. Perhaps I need to learn the voicing as I’m learning the notes and fingering. For instance, I wouldn’t have thought to learn the first difficult bits that you describe with the lower voice in the right hand playing staccato while the upper voice is legato. I could see this being difficult to unlearn later. Can you advise me on how you would recommend I approach this? One more question, if I may take more of your time, do you have a recommendation for how to approach the descending octaves if you can barely reach a 9th? Thank you so much for your most excellent tutorials. I’m grateful.

Great analysis, however the buzzing from the audio is very distracting. Regardless, thanks for sharing!

The most difficult part for me (a 4th year player) is the very beginning. Those close parallels. They seem to be hard on my long spindly fingers. Plus, it's a jarring start. Like going from 0-60 mph. Crack your knuckles first?

Great tutorial thanks a lot !!! I noted that you are not repeating the first "mi" of mi mi trill ré mi la in the main theme, as written in the text .... any reason ? Thanks a lot

heard once Lang Lang playing .....too fast....hopeless

The video sound is too low.

You are so inspiring and so good. Thank you. What a privilege for young pianists to have all this. Thank you! Thank you very much. This interpretation sent shivers down my spine❤ Will listen to it many times more❤
