CHOPIN Fantaisie-Impromptu | Nicolas BALDEYROU

[@brooksiefan]

Exceptional in every respect! Even Chopin himself looked amazed! 👏👏👏👏

[@classicalduck]

He just had the sudden urge to go chasing rainbows.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you Louis!

[@philipperigault5911]

Music competitions, post pandemic: - Jury, after three rounds, we are down to eight candidates. * (sigh of satisfaction in the jury) - And all are Baldeyrou clones! * Not again ?!!!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

😂😂😂 shall I get all the prize money then? 😇😂

[@IsaacW.]

I'll be right back. Gotta go practice for 60 years real quick and then maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to reach this level of musicianship. I swear dude, your skills magnify with every video! It's so crazy to me how well you can blend with the other recordings of yourself. It sounds like an actual ensemble the way you create the illusion of communication between musicians.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you Isaac, I truly appreciate!

[@cathy_clarinet]

Just absolutely Crazy good! You amaze us every time; the bar gets higher with each video!! Llamazing!!!! 👏👏🤩🦙🦙🦙🦙🎶

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

My lamas! Thank you dear Cathy! Please bring the lamas in a higher place so they don’t suffer from the heat 🥵😄

[@nicolasahumada]

Even Better than the previous arrangements!! love the continuity from D clarinet to A clarinet….Just perfect.!! thanks!!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you Nicolas once again! 🙏🏼😊

[@Jantsenpr777]

Chopin is making faces! The meme of the century! 🤣 About the music itself, as always, an exquisite rendition. I especially loved the color changes in the middle section. Much appreciated take on an otherwise bland section. Bravissimo!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you so much Joel!

[@loryclarinet5991]

Best clarinetist in the world 🌎🎼🎼😍

[@sprcow]

Wow the crystalline sound of that D piccolo clarinet. My brain didn't even understand what I was hearing at first. Great work, as always! Thanks for sharing with us. :)

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you Alex! Have a great summer!

[@jeffreycumber4432]

One of my favorite Chopin pieces. This arrangement and performance are genuinely brilliant.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you so much Jeffrey!

[@chillbill8596]

Dear Nicolas, you always surprise me anew with your immaculate creations. Thank you very much!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you so much!

[@leungyatchun9552]

How is this even possible…? Bravo maestro🎉🎉

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you so much!

[@ezra5491]

This is a crazy performance! I thought that this piece was impossible to play on clarinet but you proved otherwise. Is this the result of practicing 40 hours a day?!?!!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

I’m happy you’re still watching the Chopin videos 🙏🏼😊 45 hours sometimes 😁

[@bennottus]

When I listened, I started to cry. Amazing performance. BRAVO

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Oh thank you Benjamin, I truly appreciate!

[@jeannoelbourdot7216]

Un grand bravo ! Je suis bluffé par votre technique et votre talent d'arrangeur.

VEry InTerEsting!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you Amelie :-))

[@jaysparc]

Nicolas -- once again you astound with your ability to transcend the limits of clarinet to create something musically satisfying. I would put this up against any piano performance in conveying the beauty of Chopin.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

That’s a wonderful compliment, thank you so much Jay!

[@jiangshanghang9327]

Also as a clarinet player, that is really amazing!!!!!!!!love it!!!!!!!

En ces périodes d'évaluation de fin d'année le jury à l'unanimité de moi-même vous décerne le prix "la plus longue attente entre chaque vidéos" et le prix spécial " joie d'écoute". Encore mille mercis pour ses superbes moments que vous offrez.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Hahaha mille mercis Éric ça me fait bien plaisir! Encore une avant les vacances je pense!

[@БорисФедосеев-х6в]

Zero dislikes - it's beautiful!

[@lyoug]

When I heard the first note I was like "wow he kept it in E♭ minor (B♭-clarinet), I thought he’d have moved it a semitone to get to D minor or E minor but no, crazy!". And then I read the description and realized that thanks to the A-clarinet switch you actually did play it in E minor :) (well, for the sopranos that is)

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Yes! And the D clarinet helps too!

[@aaddbbcc3098]

Fantastique. On peut jouer tout ce qu´on veut sur la clarinette. Felicitations

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Quasiment! Avec certaines restrictions quand même pour la tessiture 😁

[@thelookingcat]

This is legendary! I hope after I go to conservatory that I can one day play like you!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

You will! Practice 🙏🏼🔥💪🏻 thank you!

[@rashakor]

Maestro, vous renchérissez encore une fois! Quel arrangement! Quel interprétation! Mieux que l’original! Continuez à humilier le piano et le violon. Avec Chopin, Sarate et Paganini il y a de quoi faire.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Il y a l’embarras du choix pour quelques tendinites c’est sûr 😁 mille mercis !

[@GryphonWahle]

Slaying, as per usual. You make me enjoy Chopin in a whole new fresh perspective. I bet you're excited there's a huge body of work of his to arrange! I already know BWV 552 is too long for your format, but you and your clone clarinet/horn ensemble could really revolutionize how Bach sounds, and the world would be better for it.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you so much Griffin! I’m actually working on a few Bach pieces for a CD project, hope you’ll like it!

[@matizubrzycki2018]

Maestro, you never fail to amaze me! If you could spare a moment what advise would you give a highschool clarinet player? Anything would be great to hear from you.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you Mati! Dedication, perfectionism, hard work and love for music and all instruments are the keys in my opinion. Practice well! 💪🏻🔥

[@MaSitam]

So happy to be one of the first to hear this ! It is exceptional.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Can you imagine all the headaches from transcribing into so many different clefs, and double checking...

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

I do 😄

[@BennyGoodman1977]

Une réelle fantaisie véritablement. J'adore Chopin. Il fût un temps où j'avais un piano à la maison. Chopin, Schumann... J'accompagnais d'oreille. Je n'ai eu le temps de vous écouter, ni même jouer ces derniers temps... Quel son sublime. Bravo à vous. Merci à vous de nous avoir fait partager cette partition. La clarinette est vraiment le plus bel instrument qui soit. Bonne continuation à vous !

[@TweaKzzzLeVrai]

when I saw the photo of the video I said to myself that it was going to suck and after listening to it I find it superb on the clarinet! Well done.

[@lauriegallant8901]

I was listening to this, thinking "damn, this guy must practice 40hrs" and then I saw the Twoset merch... Perfection👌

[@polymath6475]

That time when your family discovers their choice of clarinet severely limits their repertoire so decide to hack piano music instead. Good thing all the brothers play a different register. That ending creepy smile though...

I’ve been waiting for this! I’m really happy you rose to this challenge and if your looking for another lunge collapsing Chopin suggestion I throw: 💨 🌨🌩 ( you know which etude I’m talking about) Anyways GREAT WORK the sound and the shifts between instruments in those runs is heavenly clean! Superb performances (Chopin seems to agree about those fast D clarinet runs 😋)

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Witmer wind etude is very tempting but it’s so crazy fast and high 😱😁 but I promise I will give it a try!

Is there no Chopin song you cannot play on the clarinet? Hahaha. This is so incredible!! This is random but when I started playing the clarinet I did ponder once if anyone could ever play this song on the clarinet. And yup, got my answer today.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you so much! But some of the études really don’t work I have to admit 😁

[@danieletx5135]

Che personaggio immenso, in grado di avvicinare brani pensati per altri strumenti al clarinetto. Bell'arrangiamento! Mi sbaglio o mi sembra di averla vista in qualità di clarinettista di un'importante orchestra francese, mentre accompagnava Maxime Vengerov?

[@plontz]

Il est fait une tête Frédéric ! Il doit regretter de ne pas en avoir composé autant pour la clarinette qu'il ne l'a fait pour le piano. Merci également d'avoir ressorti quelques clarinettes plus rarement entendues. A quand une réédition de la contrebasse qui me semble sympa à jouer ?

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Elle est superbe en effet! Elle ne se démonte pas comme une Leblanc et ne va qu’au mib grave mais le son est magnifique !
