There are a tons of Chopin arrangement pieces but this is one of the best

that last “lento” is such a perfect and brief medley of everything wonderful about Mompou

Suddenly, Chopin becomes Gershwin, Rachmaninoff, Satie and Bill Evans. Mompou is a magician.

20:58 if you told me this was some lost Scriabin sonata I'd believe you

should note this is piano roll. a lot of people will be confused if they judge music by its tone

Una versión muy cuidadosa con el espíritu íntimo de Mompou. Y se reconoce mucho la canción popular original de la que parte. Gracias Kevin Knowles

Absolutely beautiful interpretation of one of my recent favorites! 🎹

Mompou sophistication !!! is what we search for when we want intelligent , subtle late Romantic harmonies without the complexities of Godowsky and Rachmaninoff yet the ruminative and honest modesty of the music endears it to us .He is closer to the august ,lamenting Brahms and Debussy than the jokes-asides poosies of Satie . One can see the sensuosness of that era of Schonberg ,Berg ,Amy Beach and Scriabin in all of his music without violence, neorosis ;though there is irony one doesn't have to go searching for it .One can easily come away thinking he is a naive folklorist but there is much to him and he doesn't care for impressing you he offers an oldfashioned type of beauty -you can either take it or leave it .He is not looking back like WillBolcolm he is really a part of the way they think and felt. Pure early 20th century A tonic for life after WorldWar I . Nos. 8 and 9 are delicious so muchof this isjust perfect moonlit music like so mch of Mompou. Did he write any chamber or orchestral music ,any symphonic or vocal work ?

for some reason listening to this makes me want to kms

Fabulous stuff, and more than a few shades of Scriabin harmonically.. Beautiful

太田胃散！😆分かるのはきっと日本人か日本在住の人！！ 冗談はさておき、これを題材に変奏曲にするって凄い。😅 確か、ラフマニノフはショパンの前奏曲の中で違う曲を変奏曲に仕上げた。

Very impressive rendition!! Sounds so wonderful 😊

Surprising amount of tempo variation that is NOT marked in the score! If that's what he wants why not indicate it?

that piano has some _good_ long pedal wowwww funny things aside THIS IS AMAZING, I learned about Mompou a short while ago and this is. just perfect :) :) :)

Interesting to hear how often Mompou plays the right hand slightly after the beat in the left hand. I have read this was fairly common in the late 19th century, and that early 20th century pianists like Busoni and Schnabel rejected the practice. Yet here is the composer himself doing it when the recording was made (on or after 1957).

Pero quiero Clemento

my first Chopin piece played

Love the quote from Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu at 15:45 in Variation 10.

Fantastic work Kevin! Such sensitive attention to every detail in these pieces.

Son maravillosas las variaciones. 🖐️ 🇮🇷🙏

For me this is a holy temple of piano playing. So touching and exquisitely beautiful. I

I like Mompou's songs, so I listened to your performance. Thank you for the beautiful sound.

This rendition was fantastic! So much elegance, drama and expression - it was an absolute delight listening to you! Of course I subscribed 👍🏻🎶

What a quiet, ethereal last variation resolution.... beautiful !!!

Mompou is to Chopin what Bill Evans is to Davis and Porter

I don't know precisely what movement it is but the scherzo sounding one with the rocking accents sounds very Chopinesque

This is a wonderful treatment of such a simple yet profound short piece

Wonderful to hear the great musician playing his sublime tribute to Chopin: a work of immense subtlety and richness.

Ich kann das nicht sagen. Wie harmlos die Sonate klingt, mir verschlug die Sprache. Ich danke gerne den komponist und Pianist.

Beautiful melodic song 😊

Played with convincing emotional expression. Thank you!

Wonderful! Such refined shaping, timing, voicing, and character!

Nice

Sublime.

First time I hear this, very strange for my taste but interesting.

Огромная благодарность за предоставленную запись! Нотная иллюстрация--отдельная песня! ❤️

Makes me think of Fritz Kreisler, especially the early variations.

Bravo, Sie spielen sehr aufmerksam und klug! Sind Sie ein Pianist-Amateur?

Funnily enough, there's some Scriabin influences throughout these variations. I almost imagine some of these as if Scriabin was improvising on that theme

同じフデレレック！ショパンとモンポウとジェフスキー

ジェフススキーの不屈の民変奏曲よりよいかも。知っておきたいピアノ曲

Charmant 💕

Crazy piece!

El concepto inicial del tema de Chopin se ve altamente alterado por el mágico despliegue de variaciones y se convierte en un epílogo transformado. Absolutamente genial.

Lovely and poignant with enchanting and subtle harmonic twists. I think Variation 11 is vintage Mompou with the sad, wistful bell-like sonorities

GENIAL

Wow Variation VIII reminded me of the Rachmaninoff prelude 32/5 in G major! 9:33

Fantàstica
