Me not. I did not watch the movie "the pianist". However I watched The Piano, in 1993, Jane Campion's movie. Lets face it, Nocturne n° 16 is much more enjoyable, therefore, Pogorelich as well as Corto recorded it. Chopin's posthumous pieces are not published, for a reason.

Overrated Composer, it seems to me a waste of time that most pianists only talk and play most of the time to the overrated Chopin, will they leave the other composers in oblivion because of it? Czerny gave Chopin the opportunity to stay at his house for a few days in Paris with Chopin in the year 1838 and Chopin learned to compose the Nocturne form thanks to Czerny! Czerny, Cramer and Clementi are much cooler than Chopin and I think it's a lack of respect that they are limited to Chopin.

I don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you just hear shitty artists. Great pianists like Richter, Brendel, Barenboim, Argerich and the list goes on and on play more than only Chopin. Maybe the amateurs like him more because he is "easier" to hear. But even amateurs move on. Besides that, one thing is that Czerny taught him the Nocturne form, but he never gave him the ideas or creativity to compose them.

This is the weirdest thing I have heard about Chopin. Chopin's music is popular because it touches deep into the soul.
