The middle section is like the puppy is panting after getting tired to me. It's that 2+1 rhythm that makes that panting breath sound
agreed, you could also say it has kind of a dizzy or tipsy feeling
That's a good one!
My man I love your content I think it is the best out there in this matter of musical analysis I wish you had more viewers, you deserve it.
I would also really like to see your analysis on maybe a chopin ballade and some pieces of the well tempered clavier maybe the whole book if you want to have years of work to do.
Keep doing videos you are the best.
Thank you so much José!
I will do a Chopin ballade this year at least. Generally I have many many years of repertoire to do... 😅 Although unfortunately I don't feel as much home in Bach WTK as I do in other piano music. I think other musicians could do that better, for example check out Yulianna Avdeeva, she does a project with all WTK2 as live streams on facebook.
But I will definitely do more Chopin for sure! :)
*one year later, the Chopin ballade is here: czcams.com/video/7kfJvpODcXM/video.html
absolutely in love with your breakdown and analysis always.
Thank you for this again Henrik, you are the only person I know who smiles while sharing harmonic analysis , it helps the viewers, somehow dedramatizes classical music .You do deserves tons of viewers and supporters . Please anybody who can, become a patron!
Hehe, this music is quite easy to smile to :)
How wonderful is this analysis of Op 64. I love Chopin. Unfortunately he already died, if not, he would be my husband. (Nothing humble😁). Bravo ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👏👍
One of my favourites Waltz from Chopin. Great video as usual!
Henrik Kilham, this is a very very helpful practice video for this little waltz of the petit Chien. Thank you.👂👂

Great analysis! Loved your performance also. This channel deserves way more subscribers!

So well done. Thank you, Henrik!
Excellent break down. For anyone who is trying to play this piece, you have brilliantly given this analysis. I thank you, friend.
I love your videos. Big fan! Please keep them coming!
Will do!
what a tremendous analysis is this 😁🙌👍
6:09 this part with the grace notes always sounded to me like playful barking from the dog
My fav chopin's waltz. I absolutely love it.
I love your content 👍
Very nice I like this piece
Your videos are amazing! Greetings from Argentina!💪💪🎶🎵
Good evening Sir. I am Atmadeep Mukherjee. Your analysis and performance is amazing. Love it.
420 bpm, nice
Beautiful!
What if -bear with me -, the word "minute" in "minute waltz" was to be pronounced as the adjective minute ("my-newt"), and not the noun "minute" ?
Then, it would mean "the little waltz", instead of "the waltz that lasts one minute long"...
Just a hypothesis.
Yes, I think that was the original pronunciation and that over the years it became anglicized to be pronounced the same as the noun "minute"
Yup, that's the impression I'm left with too: not MIN-ute waltz but mi-NUTE waltz.
Thank you
Yay, it’s very cool song
Not a song
Not to be rude
I've been watching all of your analysis videos, thank you for all your hard work, myself, and im sure many others watching your videos, appreciate it greatly
Thank you Leon, I'm happy that so many of you want to watch them :)
Great video! Thanks for the accurate analysis of this wonderful waltz. Bye!
Thanks!
Thanks so much! :)
Thanks
Could you do an analysis of Rachmaninoff etude op 39 no 2 in Am. I’m learning it rn and found out that there is no videos about it on CZcams at all, I can’t even find examples of pedaling, fingering, etc.
Excellent analysis and fantastic interpretation my talented friend, thanks for share !!! I have a question, what its the chord of measure 44 or 45 its like a Db /B for go to Fm /C?
I still play this waltz and many others. Always good to follow his chord progressions and even improvise over his progressions. He was a great improviser too and its something that every pianist should do as a rule. Yes he has some iim7b5 chords in there and many chromatic chords. The Mazurkas are lessons in his harmonic pallette. How about an analysis on several of them.
Finally a Chopin Mazurka video out now: czcams.com/video/znXaTwHMvj4/video.html
You make it all look so easy! When did you start playing piano?
Would you ever do Grande Valse Brilliante op. 18 in Eb? That’s my favorite Chopin waltz.
Obrigado!
Minute waltz is a funny name. I think many people tried to play this piece in 1 minute
There are some craze people on youtube...
Come on, it shouldn't be too hard, as a wise man once said, "If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly". #15notesasecond #22notesasecond
@@lizzybach4254 The fastest rhythm is a triplet so at 420 bpm, that’s 7 beats per second or 21 notes per second at most. Right within the 22 notes per second limit
@@samuellam1560 Don't take it that seriously, it's just a two set joke
@@lizzybach4254 I know, but it’s a twoset joke because they reacted to people who played it and it is technically possible
May I ask what BPM were you playing this piece?
I love your tempo!
can you do an analysis on chopin's 1st ballade?
Done: czcams.com/video/7kfJvpODcXM/video.html
quick question, have you (or anyone else for that matter) ever heard rosenthal's version of this minute waltz but played in thirds?
it is INSANE!
here's a link for everyone interested. you MUST go to 0:42 and listen to how he plays the B section -WITH- the A section still underneath miraculously somehow
czcams.com/video/BBEcaHbhFuY/video.html
I know, have seen it, totally crazy!
What microphones do you use for your piano?
It's a mix of Oktavia MK012 close to the strings, and some room sound with a Zoom H6 farther away.
@@SonataSecrets Thanks so much!
Can you make an analysis of Gottschalk next time ? Also i love your content
Ok weird, had to resub. But you will always get a resub if I get unsubscribed. Thank you for very inspired and inspiring material.
Good morning sir. I am Atmadeep. I have a request. Will you please do an analysis if Chopin's Polonaise in A flat major Op. Posth.?
That's a lovely piece but unfortunately I have not played it and I have some other Chopin pieces in line for now.
The added octave acciaccaturas from 6.18 is the dog barking "yap,yap" maybe.
Isn’t the cadence IV, I, V7, I? Not understanding the V 6/4. Btw, I read somewhere else that the grace notes in the middle section are depicting Marquis the dog’s bell around it’s neck! Such a charming and humorous piece. Chopin at his most light-hearted for sure!
Would you ever do a video on waltz in A minor ?
Maybe some time in the future. Right now I will only continue with the C#m though.
Love this, very clear, I am extremely amateur, but I love Chopin but can't play it, use to go to sleep every night as a kid with these, now I can understand it and play around with it, I can understand how Chopin does it, but there is still something unique in the exact choice of key, note, inversion etc. - that's why he is Chopin, and the rest of us are not. I guess you like Chopin too! By the way I prefer your playing to the big names, it seems to me to be slower and clearer
Ohhh, it's not the one "minute" waltz, it's a small, tiny waltz...as in -- the "minute" (my-NUTE) waltz.
Yes of course, English is not my first language so I didn't do this connection as I was recording... so obvious in hindsight though.
It is also nice to hear from you. Did you check out my channel, sir?
Fantastic Piano 🎹 playing and analysis 🧐!
This is one of the pieces I’m working on and I struggle to master the left hand? The big jumps with my pinky finger at fast speed are challenging for me 😬.
This analysis has completely changed the song for me!
You can hear the dog barking in the notes and wagging his tail omg 🐶 😱 🤯 🎹!
