[@Rousseau]

Chopin's 6th Prelude from his Op. 28 set, alongside No. 4 it was performed at his funeral on an organ. The low melancholic melody can't help but remind me of a solo cello, accompanied with an orchestra softly above. Chopin's ability to evoke orchestral colors from the piano is hard to believe sometimes, and it's short gems like this piece that can really show how amazing of an instrument the piano really is.

[@0nyx_st1le91]

Can you do revolutionary etude?

[@dorianl3788]

I agree! I can completely imagine the left hand played by a cello.

[@yusha5728]

Please do Love's Sorrow, Rachmaninoff's arrangement

Could Chopstickpain be next? : D

[@isaacfitz2404]

Could you do Schubert’s Erlkönig, D.328?

[@Safiyahalishah]

To me, this is genuinely the most heartbreaking Chopin composition I've heard yet. The period in which he wrote opus 28 was a particularly trying one. I imagine he must have often felt he was growing quite close to death. You can really hear all his questions and foreboding in this opus, as if he were already mourning his own death.

[@bartoldo5898]

Actually that period was a happy one.
He was in Majorca with G. Sand and they were happy.

[@balls345]

Bartoldo no they weren’t. Apparently the weather was the worst in years. They lived in places very unsuitable for a person with tuberculosis (castle ruins if I remember correctly). They did things like bathing in the sea which was really cold for Mallorca standards and it basically made Chopin’s health go to shit. It wasn’t a happy time.

[@bartoldo5898]

@@balls345 this is in fact true but this was only the second half of their vacation

[@ronenrozenberg8742]

Are you sure this is the saddest one? Have you ever heard his prelude in E minor or prelude in C minor? Nocturne in B flat minor? Nocturne in c minor? There are sadder pieces than this one for sure

I don't think people understand how hard this piece actually is. Getting the legato right in both hands is very hard, thats why most people use the pedal. The biggest part of this piece isn't supposed to have any pedal actually. When you look at the sheet music Chopin himself wrote, you can see there are only 2 places where you need to play with the pedal. The rest needs, as I said, good legato for it to sound good without pedal.

[@zayeer11]

I think it’s more so just implied that u should be using pedal for the most part. The times that it was specifically written were to emphasize the importance of them there
