  • This waltz was supposedly written near the end of Chopin's life, but not published until over 100 years later in 1955.

    Playing Chopin's music requires thinking and cogitation. One of the comments mentioned that this is an easiest waltz to perform. While this might be true, and technically Chopin can be easier to perform than, say, Rachmaninoff, but when playing Chopin's music (no matter how hard it is technically) you really need to tell the story of (pick one or more) - life, love, happiness, tragedy, joy, sorry... And Khoa remarkable did it in this waltz. Great job!

      exactly ! there is no such thing as easy Chopin song, that's why he is Chopin .

    • @TheRealAceful
      @TheRealAceful Před 7 lety +36

      But the fun part about music is that you dont need to play it how it was originally made/composed. You can just tell your own tale through music. For example, how you found the piece, what emotions the piece awakes from you. Instead of just copying all the original composers expressions, feelings, intentions. For me the piece is well played if the sound comes from heart even if its originally a sad piece and it's played with joy.

    • @KhoaSV
      @KhoaSV Před 7 lety +18

      I couldn't agree more! Story is so important in music, it gives direction and a sense of purpose to all those notes played. I will be sure to be more aware of this when I play or listen to music from now on.

    • @KhoaSV
      @KhoaSV Před 7 lety +46

      You guys have no idea how happy and relieved I am to see these wonderful comments! I'm always a little scared when it comes to playing classical music - not knowing if people will like or hate my interpretation. I'm self-taught and never really delved too much into reading music notes so I'm basically blind to most of the dynamics/expressions written out in scores. Instead, I rely on CZcams to get a good idea of how the melody goes, then the rest is just guesswork based on my instincts. But thanks to these comments, I feel more confident in my instincts than ever before. I hope to continue learning and sharing more classical (as well as non-classical) pieces with you guys and gals!

    • @efmusic04
      @efmusic04 Před 3 lety +10

      It's probably because pretty much every phrase ends on the relative major.

    • @DouglasJWilkening
      @DouglasJWilkening Před 3 lety +4

      The piece opens with vi-ii-V-I in C major and then modulates back and forth between C major and A minor. It’s quite common to find pieces by Chopin, Mozart, Bach, etc, that modulate through two, three, or more keys during the piece, typically using accidentals rather than changing the formal key signature. But in this case, no change in key signature is needed between A minor and C major.

    I want to keep track of my learning process, so I'm going to write it on here. I learned the part until 0:35 in the past, now I'm back on it. I recently learned 0:35 to 0:42 in 3 full days:) I'm trying to learn the fast part after 0:42 but it's so fast for me and I don't even know how I'll be able to play the bass too at the same time. I hope I can complete it.

    Deco gon learn this on my accordion lmao. The left hand part is very easy to implement onto the bass side, just gotta find the right keys! And probably a finger chart/official tutorial for the right hand sign.

    I have the strongest desire the play the piano right now, but I don’t have a piano near me. I won’t be able to play for another month.
