i am a piano teacher myself and i took me a long time to get this piece, a real long time, i am not impressive and i admire pianists such as yundi li, i wouldn't say we must like the piano,i think us pianists have our own lovers, our own mistreses,, the music the iano creates and how it liberates us, how we twist it and bring it into our wourld, i love it, i practiced alot, i am well renounded like yundi but... you are right, we must love the instrument to perform
What's great about this piece is the fact that the polyrhythm makes it sound like a continuous dialogue with Q&A. Yundi Li has officially pwned all the fantasie impromptus on RU-vid (even that child prodigy! - who is MUCH better than me)
This is an extremely difficult piece both technically and melodically. Idk if I'll ever be able to learn this one, but it's such an amazing and beautiful song. Chopin is one of my favorite classical composers.
OMG, no comment. He is not from earth. It is crazy. How light and precise he is. And now think about Chopin. How sensitive man have to be to compose such a beautiful music (Chopin was Polish -not to mention ;) )
this piece is so inspiring to me. After having lost all hope of continuing with the piano i feel like i have found the passion through this song. I wish my articulation and dynamic playing skills are that good O_O ' haha LOVE THIS
LOVE. You are awesome, and have real talent. Expression is everything and I love your interpretation of this piece. When I play I like to close my eyes and hear the piece as i like it and I see that is what you do too at times. Keep playing!!
I am playing this piece now, and I would do anything to play it like Yundi Li. He is absolutely incredible... and he definitely feels the music. Teach me how to play like you, Yundi!!! :D
All I can suggest is splitting the bar into twelve gaps and fitting the notes in the right places (so 1, 4, 7, 10 for the 4; 1, 5, 9 for the 3). You could start by counting to twelve slowly, playing the notes as you go, then drop the counting and speed up...
Omg..if u guys heard of 02jam b4..this song inspired the birth of a song called electro fantasy and i was wondering how come it sounded so familiar..so it was actually taken from this song...omg..so nice..
Im british and it wanted to learn because my mum could. I'm actually trying to play this piece atm.... a few more years should get it to this standard :P
To the people a month ago who were discussing how to play 4 against 3 (almost every bar of this piece, except for the middle section) ... forget the bit about dividing the bar into twelve beats, etc. Instead, play each bar according to the phrase "what a-tro-cious wea-ther" (play 'what' 'tro' and 'wea' in the left hand and 'what' 'a' 'cious' and 'ther' in the right hand.
For everything, asian people are good in what they do because they work very hard all the time. Finally, they're not even so good as they'd supposed to be after their work... But you man, you've got a talent!!! So you're a great player. Keep up
it is absolutely incredible to see that pianists are the most jealous people ever . Look through the comments they are full of envy and jealousy .Instead of listen to the most beautiful impromptu ever played !
Actually, Chopin(pronounced Sho-pon)wanted his friend to burn this piece. it sounded alot like something a famous composer wrote and he didnt want to be critisized for copying it. after Chopin died of tuberculosis, his friend decided to show the world the amazing piece rather than never let anyone hear it.
@wings0r I wasn't exactly forced either, I wanted to play violin when I was young, but then we couldn't find any violin teachers, so I took up piano. Later, I started playing violin, but I still like piano much better.
i was talking about technique. the middle part is hard to play and express musically, but the over all challenge is to play the begining and end with the haste feeling, while retaing a musical flow and sing. but sure, slow parts are hard to express musically.
haha i agree.. at first when i first saw the sheet, i didn;t really take much notice of it, onli when i pratically tried it out tat i realize the matching isn;t easy
@wings0r completely agree, and I think that parents force their child to play a musical instrument or another (like mathematics) are a small minority. and this practice must be worldwide. No need to be Asian to have crazy or archaic parents! PS : Excuse my English, I'm French (musician) :D - And peace!
very well done in all aspects, although it might have been the recording but he could have made some of the transitions more powerful with a little more time or sumthin.
yeah, i thought it'd take me months to finish the first few pages. but it only took a few weeks. the only problem i have personally are the cross-rhythms. and i noticed after a while, the fast part is seems automatic and just flows. the ending i think, is the hardest.
