Incredible rendition. Really impressive. Honestly I haven’t heard a better version than this one.
@donaldaxel9 ай бұрын
And it is live! Wow. Do I sense an emotional trembling on the next to last chord? I would not wonder why. Yundi shows the whole range of emotions and must be inside those emotions to render them so well over a recording, years, KZfaq quality, Internet transport, and then a cheap computer with some medium quality speakers (which are actually quite good at exactly this kind of sounds.)
@ChequeWriter7 ай бұрын
Playing this is God Level. Now imagine composing it! Damn! I wish Chopin could come back to life just to hear him tell Yundi, "yeah, you're almost good! Lemme show you the right way!" 😂 Chopin is a genius! ❤

@Ethan-jl1fj4 жыл бұрын
Usually when you think of being in a dark place in life, grief, rage, uncertainty, sadness, and anger are all kind of a huge rollercoaster and it is hard to make sense of the feelings since there are so many at once. I believe this piece of music is a perfect rendition of exactly that. The calmer and more reflective/ sad moments of the recurring passages can even be viewed as just being tired of the feelings and searching for a relief and not finding it. Then imagine the middle section as almost being asleep and forgetting some of it, but the feelings are still there and you can hear little bits of the melodic structures from the "a" section (possibly wrong terminology on the form) throughout the middle section. Theres tiny hints at the same tones of sadness or regret through out it. Then it goes back to the chaos when waking up from the dream. Ending with a climax that sounds almost creepy/scary. It puts one on edge almost. Let me know your thoughts on my interpretation! I'm curious if everyone feels more or less the same way, or if I'm extremely off on what Chopin was communicating on this. (Please don't flame me, I am just giving my initial reactions after reviewing the piece and working on it a little)

Imagine that you are 19 and have to leave you whole family and go abroad because it is dangerous in your country. Imagine that you will never know if you come back there, and you will not see your parents, siblings, friends for a very long time. Imagine that you have "friends" in the new country, who likes you just because you are a very talented pianist. Thats exactly how Chopin felt. Loneliness depression, sadness. The middle section is the polish carol motif, that probably reminds him of Poland.

Remember a Scherzo is supposed to be a joke. I think Rubinstein brings out the humour well, especially his interpretation of the last page.
@Ethan-jl1fj4 жыл бұрын
@@lorian4366 I do know that scherzos were supposed to be a joke, but from what I've read in my studies it seems that most agree that Chopin didnt really follow that at all. I dont know how accurate it is though... I mean playing through and listening to his other scherzos its hard to find a lot of humor in them.
@lorian43664 жыл бұрын
@@Ethan-jl1fj There is definitely a lot of drama in this scherzo, and I as well have heard that Chopin apparently makes some departures from the genre (though my knowledge of non-Chopin scherzos is not really extensive). But I think pianists would be well served to, aside from the passion and drama, incorporate the humour-like aspects of a scherzo - almost to show implacability and nonchalance in the face of adversity. Many of the short blurring passages are followed by rests - very unexpected and almost joking. Frequent mood swings. And I recommend again how Rubinstein bangs the same chord over and over effectively on the last page (the recording is on KZfaq).

I do not think the odd comments are worth reading,as a pianist I have to appreciate detail,some rubato, and taking a breath. Actually, after the lullaby Li did restrain the speed a bit.Who can play this the fastest? It is not a race, Agitato- Presto, I like to hear all the notes,a pedal makes it .worse. Ah yes clarity with passion.Enough said-keep practising & save it for the coda.
