@rain-qb2xv4 жыл бұрын
@@eduardorabelo5642 Both composers are great in their own contribution. To say one is greater than the other is not giving them justice. Although Liszt's music more versatile in the sense that he was more bold in textures and colours, he was also a hit or miss composer, having written hundreds of compositions but majority are unknown to the typical classical musician. Compare this to Chopin who wrote only a handle and have had devoted followings who have dedicated their entire lives to studying his music. Although I agree that Chopin could've written more pieces outside of his 'comfort zone' in the realm of orchestral and had more textures, the fact that he didn't solidified who he was as a composer. A pure pianist, and if you've played enough of his music, you will know how genius every composition he writes is. I don't want to put Liszt in a bad light but besides his main repertoire, some pieces by him feels like he wrote them for the sake of writing and to be a show piece. He also didn't have to live knowing that he could never return home to see his family, as Chopin did so comfort zone is debatable. Also, going back to the point of importance, Chopin revolutionised the piano with musicality written into the piano etudes. Invention of the instrumental ballade, development of the mazurkas and polonaise, 2 definitive piano concertos which are almost always in any pianist repertoire if they are serious in their career and how can we forget just his beautiful singing style written into the piano. Without Chopin, today's piano repertoire would be incredibly boring, without liszt. that is debatable.
@tuberobotto4 жыл бұрын
I personally believe that Chopin never thought of himself as a "symphonist", and surveying his works tend to impress upon me that he favors writing for the piano almost exclusively not because he's lazy or uninventive, but rather that to him, the piano is and has always been the most accessible tool for self-expression. For an artist who brings a very personal touch to his works almost as if every piece is laid on a small canvas, orchestral music or music written for instruments other than the piano, must perhaps be a remote goal especially since there are no records of Chopin playing skilfully other instruments. Could it be a reflection of an introvert and melancholic personality? A "loner" type? For sure his personality is not as flamboyant and loud as Liszt who is said to be a woman's man and very good at publishing himself. I make this point because I believe that one's personality (and even upbringing) can have a direct and indirect effect on one's character as a musician and composer, thus affecting his artistic output as regards shape or form. This is just a personal opinion of mine that somehow convinces me why Chopin writes exclusively for the piano, and the cello having a sound that's usually somber and mellow, almost melancholic, is a second preferred instrument.
@thegreenpianist76834 жыл бұрын
Chopin did indeed compose almost exclusively for the piano, but there are two ways that one can see that: one is that he is not versatile enough not writing any symphonies, operas, masses, nor for other instruments therefore he isn't as "great" of a composer, the other way however is that the fact that he could be where he is (and was when he was alive), the fact that he touched and influenced countless people both from his time and up until now, his ability to gain universal acclaim with ONLY the piano speaks of his greatness as a composer, I am obviously in favor of the second argument but the thing is I find that, even for the piano itself, he was able to creates pieces of music worlds of difference apart, within the piano realm he was able to express all sorts of emotions and contrast with unbelievable beauty and genius, I have said this somewhere before and I'll say it again, if Chopin was the ONLY composer to ever exist and create music I wouldn't mind at all, and I don't feel that way about any other composer.

@@jamessebastianliauw6959Just as an elaboration of the point: Chopin originally wrote the barline connecting the introduction and expo 1st subject as double bar line, but due to the ink is not clear, the publishers misunderstood the double barline as a repeat sign. This was fixed by later editions (Which was edited by Brahms) but yet the interpretation of repeating the exposition from doppio movimento has already become the norm. Famous pianist, such as Zimmerman, Martha Argerich, etc. has their repeat following the first edition, and somehow their astonishing interpretation was musically incomplete due to such mistakes. Later a certain music historian and theorists (I don’t remember his name tho) pointed out how the first edition ruined Chopin’s ingenuity: The exposition should first get into much higher tension (like in the manuscript) and resolve into a Dominant 13b9 chord so that the sonata become musically make sense, and repeating the exposition through a deceptive cadence ruins the tension. Conversely, Beethoven’s repeat is definitely in exposition but not from the introduction as he would like to keep the Moto perpetual until the alteration taken in the start of development.

Ethan, I'd have to disagree on that. In this piece, I see Chopin trying to try something new. Of course in some points in the piece, it's still Chopin. But it's somewhat characteristically different than other Chopin pieces (i.e. that you just mentioned, the Polonaise-Fantaisie), that's how I feel about it though. And the end result, is a bit unorthodoxical for Chopin.

Since I can't describe the exact points and details of the piece on which why it differs from Polonaise-Fantaisie (I don't know much about music theory, though I know about counterpoint and I agree the sonata is pretty contrapuntal just like Polonaise-Fantaisie and his Fourth Ballade, and the sonata also contain cadenzas and fioritura-esque passages), I'll give ya this. I can't really word it properly, but the piece does feel different than his Nocturnes or other pieces. Even though basically, in essence; it's still Chopin, it doesn't feel much like Chopin. It's a bit Schubertian and a bit of Mendelssohn-like (like the video description said).

I don't see a problem with that. Music is for everyone to share. It's not some competition on which instrument receives a larger repertoire. Henri, you are very childish to have said such a thing!

The beginning reminds me of Beethoven’s G minor sonata Op 41 no 1.

more like a piano piece with some cello sneaked in there

Imo it's more than "sneaked", I think it blends very well, too bad people treat it too much as a CELLO Sonata instead of Sonata for both instruments equally (as the title suggests), it makes much more sense when both of the instrument are equal tbh.

That's the thing I don't like about Chopin. He was unable to create some non-piano music.

I think the dear Charles-Valentin was being tongue in cheek, because he himself is guilty of the exact same thing.

Actually there's plenty of cello in there. I once did play it in University; the second cellist, who did not know the music, upon sight reading the Scherzo, said the long melody in the middle section played on cello was "the most beautiful thing" she had ever heard. Unfortunately we had to stop after the brief run through as she did not want sight reading to "spoil" it for her in lieu of actually learning the piece. And for me, the first movement development where the cello and piano go off in opposite directions (11:00) with an augmented chord in there thrown in, is my take for the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard. This performance is excellent.
