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.

This was playing at my nan’s funeral because this was her favourite piece
She was 92
Nanny I miss you so much
She died on Easter Friday last year
This piece means so much to me
Edit: can you play prelude raindrop by Chopin

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 ♥

This is actually one of my favorites by Chopin. There's just something... can't really describe that feeling.

For me is cause the part from 1:20 to 1:36. It resolves SO MUCH tension in an mezmerizing and satisfactory way that it just makes me feel comfy and calm/chill.
