Evgeny Kissin - Chopin Valse E Posthume

[@Moucheron1990]

This is one of the most dazzling finishes ever written for a solo instrument. It's absolutely breathtaking how the notes create a shimmering cacophony of unison. Chopin is out of this world.

with this skill and this speed, he makes me feel like what i have been playing is just a joke

[@isobeldevilliers1484]

Honestly same But usually I just try to focus on the feeling I get when I'm alone. Focusing on the beauty of the piece takes away from my lack technical abilities

[@HuyenNguyen-hx8tt]

Isobel De Villiers truee we we should play with all we have 👍👍. That’s the point of music to make us happy. But for me sometimes when i want to take it seriously so his playing could be a great motivation though

Forgot who said it, but I remember he said Chopin's valses are not meant to dance to :)

Definitely. And some of them are better suited for funerals. And all of them are brilliant.

Kissin is a very passionate pianist of pure straight forceful, straight Russian style playing. I love it, especially this piece.

[@安卢]

Excuse the two straights.

[@skiiizo]

Yes I like it ! This is part of a concert given in Warsaw, this piece along with the Etude in C minor Op 10 n 12 are an encore after his performance of Chopin's second Concerto in F minor. I like Kissin very much, I have bought his CD with the Second and Third Concerto of Prokofiev and it's fantastic !

I love Kissin. He is my favorite pianist. Love his interpretation of Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Chopin and more. He is phenomenal!

Evgeny Kissin is undeniably one of the greatest concert pianists in the world. KZbin allows us to watch brilliant performances such as this one, and then sometimes make pathetic comments about his clothes, hair or facial expression, that he resembles a dead composer or that he walked out of a painting from the 1800"s. My favorite is "I played this piece...it was hard...I was 10" Does this mean you played it perfectly at 10, you are a musical genius, and you went on to become a world famous pianist? Or, you tried to play it, it was pretty hard to play, you forgot about it, and you gave up playing piano. Most importantly, did you like this performance? Do you like Chopin? My point is Evgeny Kissin is the real deal, playing sold out shows all over the world, and it is very easy to make critical or ridiculous comments from the anonymity of KZbin when relatively few people in the world can play at this level.

[@abritishguy8351]

@@joeyclassifiedinfo7175 if the music has a note on it showing what speed the composer wanted it played at, isn't that the intended tempo? To be clear, people can have different preferences, but that just doesn't change what the composer intended

[@Algorox]

@@abritishguy8351 This is true. Different pianists have different interpretations, which doesn't make them better or worse, but does make them closer or further from the composer's intentions.
