5:39 “Raindrop Prelude” in Db major, op. 28 no. 15
11:12 “Minute Waltz” in Db major, op. 64 no. 1

28:36 Scherzo no. 3 in C# minor, op. 39
36:15 ENCORE Berceuse in Db major, op. 57
While Chopin wrote other pieces in both C# minor and Db major, this recital features all of the works that showcase the two enharmonic parallel keys together - either within the same piece or paired in the same Opus. The one exception is the Berceuse, which stands alone in Db major.
UPDATE: I did forget one piece!!! Chopin’s Polonaise op 26/1 is in C# minor with a Db middle section. Thanks to Mark Yang in the comments for pointing it out.

Bach Competition Leipzig 2018
I know nothing of classical music. I have heard of Gould -- and that's it. One of the things I found most interesting is that despite Gould's pragmatic approach and Bernstein's transcendental approach to these compositions, they both seemed to appreciate the other.
21:21 Wonderful video! Since i'm a neophyte, it would be really helpful to me, to hear a more typical performance next to Gould's performance of this section.
The only other person who may have replicated Pogorelich's continuous, steadily growing momentum and overarching trajectory is Sviatoslav Richter during his 1957 recital in Moscow. Would HIGHLY recommend taking a listen as his playing has different nuances from Pogorelich and is absolutely just flying; relentlessly attacking the keys yet still full of color.
Our pianist is a true chopinist
Gould introduced film scale "acting" to music and moved it out of theatrical melodrama.
You forgot a whole set of pieces. What about the mazurkas?????
I couldn’t find any Mazurkas that featured C# minor and Db major together in the same piece (except op63/3, although he never fully cadences in Db there)
Of course there are multiple (quite famous) C# minor mazurkas
Aren’t you “the pianist”
Beautiful tones and voicing in the B section of the Prelude. The incessant pedal tone (A-flat/G-sharp) is definitely a reminder of our inevitable journey towards our final cadence.
etudes????
None feature C#m minor and Db together!!
Consider Disturbed’s interpretation of the Sound of Silence. An epic reinterpretation that has garnered approval from its composer. “It is now your song.” The torch has passed. Without experimentation there is no moving forward. Some will fail but we all must try.
David is a genius, thank you for sharing him with us.
Actually, the commentary is hilarious. "Would Chopin have called Horowitz a pig? Probably."😂
Piano is out of tune.
Jacob Collier moment
Ben, you play beautifully. Thank you for making my day brighter today. I learn so much from you from not only your videos of other pianists but also from your own wonderful talent.
AHHHHHahahahaha You’re a Monty Python fan. 😊
Thank you for calling the “raindrop” prelude more like “death” because ever since my first encounter and learning this piece, the only thing I thought was that “death was coming”. To me, this piece is the experience of life-where life can be beautiful and happy, but ultimately, it ends in death. And back to life again. But NOTHING to do with Raindrops! Which bug me to no end! And especially when people do believe it IS about Raindrops!!! 🤯 So thank you so much for your commentary!!!
This halloween I was thinking that I'd maybe Go dressed like Larry David If I could find the right glasses then I would look Pretty... pretty... pretty good
This editing style reminds me of Tiffany Poon. Very different personalities but both of your annotations exude such passion for the music.
Gorgeous.
The section marked p at bar 83 sounds like it's played mf.
Would love to see more videos in this style, they're really insightful and also a good opportunity to listen to your playing more, which I find to be refreshingly unique and thoughtful. Btw I loved those bass notes at 35:35. One of the most epic codas ever...
After your incredible voicing (inner voices) in Prelude op. 28 no.15, I thought you would voice Waltz op. 64 no. 2 like crazy, similiar to Cyprien Katsaris in this famous performance > czcams.com/video/XuWVH314WJo/video.html Anyway, I enjoyed your performance so much!
I hadn’t heard that Katsaris recording yet at the time, but now I’m very tempted to play it like him….
it is a social bias of mine, which i have identified and acknowledged and try consciously not to practice, that i am more likely to trust pianists if their hair is floppy
Awww ❤just lovely video ! I absolutely appreciate your annotated comments above the score ! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊👍👍👍 bravo !,,
Ben, your interpretations are always so refreshing! The voicing is on point, and you make some incredible phrases! Loved your video
great video!
Wonderful presentation!
I love the programming of this performance!
What about his other C# minor Nocturne, op. posth? It ends in Db major
It ends in C sharp major. A Picardy 3rd basically, like Bach.
So classical music also has the 'slowed and reverbed' Vs 'Nightcore' debate.
Chopin really liked writing in those keys. I know he found them to have a particular flavour to them, while he wasn't particularly fond of tonalities like D minor.
Cool, but can you play Wonderwall?
This is a formal request, for Fantasie and Fugue on Wonderwall.
Maybe it's that a man enveloped with trepidation will march to his own beat, whereas, an eager man will fall all over himself to roll it all out to impress? Orrrr, maybe he just wasn't well practiced. Haha All of the coughing was probably because they were in the foyer of expectation.
He didn't break anything: he OPENED the field of clasdical music, as did Virgil Fox. Gould knew what Fox so aptly stated: "Bach has the red blood!" You want a machine like, steril performance? Go buy a machine!
I am in love with your sense of humour.
You missed a bunch of Mazurkas
Omg that opus 27/1 🫠🫠🫶
Absolutely stunning. I loved your interpretation of Fantasie Impromptu so much. 🥰
Yes! More Ben. Oh, it's a performance. Can we get the exact same video but with voice over :( Hard to listen to text
