This piece makes me miss Poland, and I have never been to Poland... That is how well Chopin was able to express emotions through his music

[@mosesswedberg5208]

This performance is simply magical. Every note, mood, ornament, transition, and timing, is flawless. What a lovely journey I've just been on.

I always mistakenly hit that like button. How many times should I have to remind myself that I have already hit like before!

[@RITardNation]

I love the ringing sound she produces!

[@cimbalok2972]

Despite its simplicity, this is a very sophisticated work. How many modes did Chopin employ in this one piece? Hint, several. Thanks for posting.

[@elsaesteves]

Modes, nuances and intentions so to speak, not even Argerich figured them out, and this rendition was the best I've ever heard.

Argerich is the Michael Bay of piano. So shiny and random.

[@pmeagle]

Mozdzer's version is so good

[@oliwertwardy593]

A gdzie frazy chopinowskie? Chwilami jakby się słuchało muzyki latynoskiej… P. Argerich zeszła na psy, albo polubiła się w gatunkach…

[@pogon4life]

Indeed... I also do not understand why she is playing this piece so fast, as if in a hurry to leave the concert hall.

[@vlodeklukasz1065]

@@pogon4life To bardzo inteligentna kobieta,doskonale wiedziała ,że gra dla bufonów, celebrytów i politykierów.Szczęśliwa,że żyła w czasach kiedy można było grać dla prawdziwych elit,ludzi znających się na muzyce i sztuce.

[@dorette-hi4j]

@@pogon4life There are disputes about the metronome mark, and so about the tempo. It is allegro non troppo. Chopin gave it as 108 for the quarter. But he also gave 108 to the first mazurka, which is lento! So later editors assumed there was a mistake. Some gave 138, but Theodore Kullak in his edition gave 192. She is following Kullak, or following a tradition of playing it very fast perhaps because of Kullak, or she simply feels it should be played fast (it is a folk dance, after all; some mazurkas are faster than others). Take your pick.

​@@dorette-hi4j Fascinating! Where did you learn of or read about the controversies of the Metronome marking? TIA
