This is not piano, this is the deepest feeling, which surpasses the instrument.

My favorite piece of incredible music of Chopin, no matter how often I listen to it it gives me chills every time ❤Thank u Chopin thank u Khatia

[@marie21000]

One of my favourite piano pieces by Chopin!! 💘❤😍 I used to play it. It's not a difficult piece to play but of course, how you play it with the right emotion is essential. ❤ Khatia plays it beautifully... 💘

[@davebartholome2924]

The right emotion and the right technique. (Without technique, we can emote all we want-the sound won’t be there.)

[@henningandersen9027]

[@pds002]

So beautiful. I'm in a blissful trance. Thank you.

[@davidsanz9332]

Thank you so much; the sensitivity of both the notes and the tempo is exactly as I believe Chopin would have performed this heartfelt composition. As a lyricist, it is extremely important to understand the meaning and reasoning behind the composer's work. I have finally found the perfect interpretation of the masterpiece. If I may, I would like to leave a few interesting facts for your audience that may have been contributing factors in the creation of the enchanting "Prelude in E minor". 1. Like most prodigies, as a child, Chopin dreamt of a normal and carefree childhood, but with his constant piano studies, along with severe breathing problems: respiratory tract infections, hemoptysis, and, in his later years, tuberculosis, his dream of a normal childhood was never realized. He died at the tender age of 39. 2. Chopin requested that his heart be removed from his body at the time of his death and sent back to his native land of Poland. His sister honored his request. And although his body is buried in Paris, France, his heart was smuggled past Russian authorities and is currently located in a crypt at the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw, Poland where it receives the same respect as a holy relic. 3. The phrase "Goodnight; sleep tight" dates from Chopin's days when mattresses were supported by ropes that needed to be pulled tight to provide a well-sprung bed for a good night's rest. 4. The Frederic Chopin Monument in Warsaw, Poland shows Chopin sitting beneath what appears to be the grand old Bartek tree. 5. The Bartek Tree is one of the oldest oak trees in Poland. Children during Chopin's lifetime must have dreamt of playing underneath this large, old, shady tree. 6. Chopin contemplated suicide and it is possible that "Prelude in E minor" may have been a type of musical suicide note, but we will never know. What we do know... is that Chopin requested "Prelude in E minor" be played at his funeral. The only question remaining... is why? Note: If "Prelude in E minor" was Chopin's musical suicide note, perhaps his last words might have been written with the same simplicity. "Beneath The Grand Old Bartek Tree" by David Sanz Goodnight, love; goodnight sleep well; sleep tight The time has come; it’s late… goodnight, love Dear, if you’re wondering where I’ll be so free… my heart sings beneath the grand old Bartek tree Far… away my heart will lay, my love; every little dream dreamt of childish ways, lost childhood days now, here to stay… goodnight, love, goodnight… here, I’ll be beneath the grand old, old... Bartek tree Copyright 2022 [e-mail]

@@frankdecember2743 i understood you were saying that this was your favourite performance from Khatia. I Was just suggesting you listen to that piece from Bach

[@florafortuna8794]

Splendida interpretazione! C'è tutta la drammaticità legata alla gravissima situazione che certamente come artista di enorme valore spirituale sta vivendo. Fa rabbrividire di dolore ogni nota come se in questo preludio lei stessa fosse protagonista dell'olocausto a cui assistiamo. Grande Katia🙏💜

[@oscarlepeley9380]

I was looking for a slow version of this prelude, and I found it, thanks Khatia.

[@Seleuce]

Try Richter, one of the few who played it that slowly decades ago. Chopin intended a much faster speed, however, and without Sustain.

My favorite prelude! Thank You Khatia ❤

[@Metasisic]

This has always been perhaps the prime example of how a musical climax itself has always spoken volumes when it comes to classical music, especially of the romantic period. I first heard it in the Jack Nicholson film Five Easy Pieces and it has always been one of my favorite works by Chopin.

[@spockofdune8657]

[@serdarbenderli5637]

A wonderful interpretation. The only imperfections are on the E note that's cut short at 2:05, and from piano's ringing on on the same note at 2:08. Something is up with that action on the piano.

[@LeviTate2000]

I wondered the same thing. That vibration didn't ruin it, but it distracted me .

[@HestiaBHN1]

I have been comparing many pianists' rendition of the Chopin Prelude #4, E minor. Hers is very beautiful and I place her second after Grigory Sokolof. Eric Lu is third. All in my personal estimation. Also, most players make the left hand unimportant...but Khatia and Sokolof both give it the full importance and attention it deserves.

Abslolutely sublime. Sometimes the simplest pieces are the more poignant.

De simple no tiene nada

[@Metasisic]

I agree about small pieces being often just as essential as far larger scale works. The root probably often being in the brilliance of the piece to grab your heart and soul more than anything else.
