The way this coda builds up is fucking phenomenal. The energy in it. The emotion. Everything is perfect. My favourite coda in all of his ballades. My favourite ballade in general 😉
@@user-rn6ir4wi5k like he said, it brings a piece to an end, it can be very complex, like this one, or just slightly different like the little codetta for Rach’s Prelude in G minor
I imagine this is what Zimerman would see when performing it till they come to the end, the colour inverts, and they realise that it was just sheet music. Incredible editing!
this is what Lang Lang sees because he has a special medical condition (i forgot what) which assosiates color with music so he's basically in a trance while playing
The ending in normal colors feels like we’ve just finished this long drug trip and the whole time we were really just reading the normal sheet music, just imagining all the colors and edits while listening to the piece 😆😆
i watched your video about 1 month ago. When I listened to that romantic part in your video, where it moves from C sharp minor to A flat major, I realized how beautiful it was. I had a friend who played this piece at the music school I went to. I was going to ask him to play this piece live for me (only for that final part), but for certain reasons he couldn't come to school for a few weeks. That's why I didn't have the opportunity to listen live. While these events were happening, we also learned that there was an international piano competition, and we were going to participate with that friend of mine. Somehow we made it through to the final round. The juries gave us a certain period of time and we started to choose works suitable for this period. The friend I mentioned was going to play Chopin's second scherzo in B flat minor. They asked me to give a performance of 7 to 8 minutes. But there was not a piece I knew that was 7 minutes long. We were planning to learn a new piece and we had about 2 months ahead of us. We had two options in mind, ballade 2 or ballade 3. I probably would have chosen ballade 2 if I hadn't watched your video, but the only thing on my mind at that moment was to listen to ballade 3 live. So I said, why don't I play? I started working immediately, and exactly 1 month later, I finished the work completely. Of course, there were technical difficulties. I'm still working on it right now. I have about 3 or 2 weeks left. In short, thank you for being an inspiration to me and for managing to impress me.
I have always imagined the repeated motif in ballade no.3 to represent falling in love after ballroom dancing, losing them, and this piece is the reminiscence of your time together.
I am a beginner piano enthusiast, who deeply admire Chopin's work. I love his ballades, but because those are so advanced, i have not even bothered to take a look at the music sheet. Watching this video made me realize many details i had not heard before in this coda. Thanks :D
My favorite Ballade!! 👀 great to see this in your hands hehe Love everything about this... the background for the triumphant part, the "writing out" of the Italian words for emphasis, really great thing to behold :)
Dude I was hyped for this upload for a month! Ever since you posted the Ballade No. 3 photo on the community page thingy, I got excited, this is the most amazing Ballade imo. Keep it up❤ "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."❤
@@yucatron76(I think) with jazz you add a bit of notes that are close to each other (accidents) and that Chopin has accidents in this piece. But with all that, Chopin did not create jazz
