Thank for your comment and for watching!

[@iamsarahlee79]

This is my favorite piece of classical music. I am glad I stumbled on to your analysis of it! It really is very powerful and uplifting, not light and fluffy, it's something to shout victorious about!

[@gregniemczuk]

SO WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS!!!!! Thank you for my favourite Chopin's Prelude known as "Wizja" in an excellent your rendition and for your analysis/tutorial, this great video will be helpful for many pianists, lately we Polish people are watching The International Chopin Competition, really exciting, again my best regards, have a nice Sunday/happy new week.

Greg, I think Chopin channels Schubert in this prelude. The bass tremolos, major/minor shifts, and the super harmonies, of course. what do you think?

[@seansmart2756]

What a beautifully relaxing way to enjoy your lecture, in a hot bath after being caught in the rain. Thanks again for sharing such beauty! It was the whisper for me.

[@gregniemczuk]

Hahaha wonderful!!! I hope you'll not get sick!

@@gregniemczuk it really was, I had no complaints. I’m as tough as old boots, me! 😂💪

[@nilsragnar1347]

The beginning of this prelude is more or less identical to the end of prelude no. 2 in a minor. It's even the same key and inversions! I find it very interesting, I wonder if it was on purpose and if there is any meaning behind it, could also likely be just a coincidence.

[@gregniemczuk]

You're right! I don't know... Probably a coincidence, as they are not so close to each other in the whole opus...

[@dannilosouza4955]

Greg, what's your favorite prelude? Thank you for your analysis videos, Parabéns, ótimo trabalho.

[@gregniemczuk]

Hmmm... Difficult question. B major, but also b flat major and F major, and b flat minor.... I have many 😀

(J'aime tellement ce prélude, que je le joue presque tous les jours.) Dans ce prélude, on sent Alexis raviver son pouvoir... Alexis essaie de soulever la pierre nommé Hic Est... dans les 4 dernières mesures, les octaves de la main gauche montrent lorsqu'Alexis tire la cloche avec sa main gauche... n'oublions pas que Chopin pouvait se sentir très proche d'Alexis à cette époque.

There is one thing that annoys me when I come across it in any commentary on Chopin's music, whether it is a spoken or written article or a book. That annoying thing is the juxtaposition of Chopin with Beethoven with the silent intention of telling me something like this: "Hey, do you see Chopin being able to match Beethoven? What a surprise, don't you think?".

If you want my recording you are most welcome

[@andrzejnowak7]

As for the tempo, of all the performances of this prelude I know, this is the only one that truly respects the "largo" designation. Listen, please, to the way Sergio Fiorentino plays it, and you will hear the absolutely marvelous beginning of the prelude. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4S7aKSHeLCCmZI

[@gregniemczuk]

Wow.... I love it!!!!! Thank you so much for the inspiration just before making my own recording of the Preluded!!!
