    Chopin's Etude Op. 10 No. 3. Often given the nickname "Tristesse", which translates to "sadness". Do you think it's an appropriate nickname for the piece? Chopin himself never gave his works nicknames, the emotion he conveyed through the music itself says all that needs to be said. Sometimes the nickname "L'Adieu" (farewell) is used for this Etude, and I feel like a farewell describes the melancholic, but hopeful nature of this piece more. Have a beautiful Thursday ♄

    I personally think this is the closest thing to Chopin's take on love. The piece starts with exquisite beauty and romance, not yet passionate but more of a quiet marvel, as if approaching her from afar. At 1:04, it finally happens, we finally meet the heroine and the heart swells and accelerates with joy. This is then followed by a melody of the utmost tenderness at 1:19. Love has become something cherished and precious.
    Then the passion follows at 1:37. It starts with utter joy but something starts to go wrong at 1:46. A brief reprieve at 1:55, but it finally devolves into downright anger at 2:00. You can hear attempts at controlling the temper at 2:05 but he finally loses control at 2:11. Rage, pain and perhaps a tinge of jealousy was rampant in the next section.
    Until he finally quiets down again. And the third part which is a repetition of the first becomes more of a reverie of the happy times. A catharsis in a sense.
    It's almost like Chopin wrote a whole romantic novel with this 5 minute piece. I don't think "sadness" captures the piece very well. There is sadness and a sense of loss for sure, but it contains so much more: beauty and romance, joy, passion, longing, as well as pain and anger and frustration. Knowing Chopin's troubled love life, I would venture a guess that the piece was highly personal for Chopin. Perhaps he had one of his youthful but brief love affairs in mind as he composed it. And maybe that is why Chopin ranked this piece as his favorite.

    I've always enjoyed Chopin, but I never really understood his music, until yesterday when I lost my dog. And then Chopin's music came to mind-- this man knew melancholy, sadness, hopefulness, despair. Nothing i do or say manages to convey how horribly destroyed I feel when my dog died, except Chopin. This song reminds me of all the times we had together, me thinking of how he used to look so silly doing things, and then the melancholic feeling of realising he's not at my feet anymore. But then hope springs to me when i think of how he's quietly at peace now, and we'll see each other again.

      I think I understand you perfectly well. A 71-year-old man writes to you who still remembers his beloved dog, even though he died exactly 60 years ago when I was a boy of only 11 years old.
      I cried for him alone and without comfort for months. Nothing could comfort me, and there was a piece called Exodus (Mantovani and his orchestra) which I associated with him. What made me most heartbroken was the fact that I was absolutely certain that I would never see my beloved PillĂ­n again. When I listened to that song I cried even more.
      Throughout my already long life I have lost other pets and I have also suffered, but that time was the greatest sadness in my entire life.
      Now I have great faith that I will see him again when I leave this world. I know it will be so.

    I think that this piece is about life itself. It begins with simplicity. A gentle wonder of the world we all share while we are first born. Slowly, life becomes more complex and is like a roller coaster of emotion and excitement. Then as our life comes to a close, it ends just the same as it began with a gentle simplicity.

    I like this piece. It is called "Sadness" and I think the nickname is fitting. It starts out gentle and calm, like you are processing the situation; the it gets confusing and frantic as you feel confused and question why this is all happening. Then it all calms down, and gives you this sense that it will be okay, you're going to make it through this, even if it may not be clear, you're going to come through and be whole again.

    I can’t stop shedding tears. This ever-so distant feeling... it’s far more than what emotions alone are capable of allowing any human entity to experience. It feels so inhuman, but maybe that’s because it’s more human than anything I’ve ever felt. As I was a young child, classical music was always playing throughout the out family’s household. Needless to say, there were classics bedtime CDs/DVDs that my mother would play for me on a consistent basis. A part of this piece’s melody became instantly recognizable to me through feeling- a feeling I’ve gotten before; a feeling I’ve gotten whilst re-discovering pieces included in the CDs/DVDs that were played to me. Re-discovering this piece has lead me to shedding tears for the first time in a long time. This feeling, to me, is more sacred than words can convey, and I wish to share this feeling with others. This is what it is truly like to feel. This is what it is truly like.

    This guy surely left a huge mark on jazz. This composition stands out from anything created during that time or earlier. The musical harmony has a distinctly jazzy feel. At 1:04, there's a rapid sequence of larger chords, including 9, 13 or 6, augmented, 7, and 7 b5, all packed into just 20 seconds. Plus, even at 2:48, that part maintains a jazzy vibe.

    Thank you for this. When my mom passed away from cancer when I was 20, this was the song that oddly helped me through. I’d never heard the nickname of “Farewell” given to it, though I feel it is apt.
    Thank you, again. You played it exactly as I’d hoped.

    To me, this is a song about finding beauty in life, through both pleasure and sadness. That there will be good times and bad, but the bad are not to be cast off. Instead, we learn and grow from the pain and are stronger and better off for it. And through it all, life is a beautiful thing. I absolutely adore this piece.

I have managed to perform pieces like the moonlight sonata, fantaisie impromptu and winter wind but this one has frustrated me mainly because the chords in 2:32 make like zero sense and still when performed they unravel a melody that somehow does make sense.

    So the other day I was listening to a Chopin playlist while doing some work and this little tune came on. It was fairly innocuous, a nice little etude, but then came the part around 1:18 after the big swell, those few seconds of tender notes, and I had to stop whatever I was doing and just... feel. For the past few days I've listened to just that part and cried occasionally. I don't know what it is about it, but it just brings to my mind so many bittersweet memories and touches a certain part of my soul unreachable by words (and this is coming from an amateur poet). This right here is the thing that, in my opinion, classical music has on most other music, those moments where it touches some indescribable depth within us and, for a short whole at least, takes us beyond space and time into the eternal and infinite.
