Chopin's most melancholic prelude, which by his own request was played at his funeral. I'm not sure if anyone has captured the sense of despair quite as well as Chopin has in this piece, I find it incredible that we can still experience the emotions he felt almost 200 years later, forever preserved in this beautiful work.

What he meant is that you'll play many notes, full chords, and most of the notes are redundant and irrelevant harmonically speaking. Simplicity here is the art of playing only the meaningful notes, and it takes a lot of work to be able to identify each note role easily, such as 3rd 7th 9th, inversions, which bass note to use relative to the melody, etc. Yes you can play complex chords, but can get the same chord with a few notes spread among the melody and the actual harmony?

I first heard this song on played by Rousseau on November 30th, 2019, and thought it sounded amazing, I described it as a beautiful tragedy. I was obsessed with it and thought to myself "I can definitely play this." On December second, I downloaded and printed the sheet music. At this point, I had only been learning the piano seriously since the beginning September. But I vowed to learn this one piece. There was something about it. So everyday, I would practice, read the sheet music and advance, play along. There was a point where I stopped learning this piece, around mid December, because the part at 1:52 was too hard, I resumed my regular practice instead. I decided to have another go at it about 2 weeks ago. I spent the past two weeks learning 1:52, and 2:01, as you can see, I am terrible when it comes to moving across the keys. It's now 12:30AM, January 10th, and I can finally say that I learned to play this piece. It took from November 30th, to January 10th, but I can finally play this entire piece. Practice truly does make perfect, and it opened my eyes. I can truly begin to appreciate pianists, and those of all instruments, because it took so long for me to learn such a relatively simple piece. Guys, practicing everyday is worth it! It pays off!

Interesting fact: The piece wanders around E minor but doesn't actually include an E minor chord until the final bar. That's why the tonic at the end is so satisfying. Edit: lol no need to get angry. I know there’s two instances of an Emin in first inversion (beginning and 1:28) but that root position Emin after the cadence at the end is still satisfying and not heard in the rest of the prelude. Just thought it would be cool to point that out for people who don’t know that much about music. Stay safe!

@purelypiano7493

Matias no? Literally the first chord that the left hand plays is an e minor chord in first inversion... I guess what you’re saying is true to a certain extent but not really.

This was the piece that made me quit wanting to learn how to sight read. My teacher assigned it to me, and I had no motivation or desire to learn this song. Not because it was complicated to read, (although at that time it wasn't easy for me by any means) but because I really didn't want to, it was boring to me, and I never gave it a chance. Only 3 years later, after wasting so much time trying to learn complex pieces using Synthesia, did I learn to appreciate classical music more, and that I can't get any closer to my goals as a pianist until I take the time to learn to sight read. If I had only kept practicing my sight reading back then, I would be much better off right now, but I've decided to back track, forget all the impractical techniques and bad habits I developed, and start from the beginning where it all started, using only sheet music from now on. I can finally say that I was able to read through the entire piece, and will now work on polishing it. It's the 2nd piece just today that I've learned, on top of a 3rd I started earlier this week, and will finish after I get a bit better with understanding the fundamentals of sight reading. In all, after just a week in a half, I've learned 2 and a half songs, and am on my way to mastering one of them, and eventually all 3 of them. When before I could barely memorize 3 different songs in under a year and a half, here I am now learning several in such a short time. Sheet music is so worth the effort. Without it, I would spend way too long learning a piece, and by thetime I would finish learning it, I would forget what I worked on before, and couldn't play any more than 3 or 4 pieces total in my entire 3 years of playing. All the rest were forgotten, a very frustrating road block for a pianist who can't sight read, and I will probably forever be 3 years behind where I should be, but at least I will be able to polish and improve my technique as if I were just now starting to learn piano from the basics.

This, is my favorite tempo for this timeless, heart wrenching prelude.. Yes, I feel it exactly that slow. Those repeated C and B at the beginning, played with slight hesitation are the most important. In my head, I hear a man telling his painful regrets, inches before the end of his life. That is what I hear.

This song made me cry... I actually watched a Ted talk on classical music and how only 3% people like it because the rest don't know about it. He said classical music is for everyone and this piece was in the video. It's now one of my favorites and makes me think of my dog 😌we had to return her to the shelter because of biting issues and I cried every night since... after I heard this I decided to learn it and it's very fun to play :) Many people just don't know about classical music, but it's beautiful and Chopin expresses sadness in it. ❤

First and foremost, thank you for this rendition. While Chopin is known for his more challenging pieces, I feel the emotion here captures much more than a Liszt-style prelude. Simple, tragic, short-lived, ephemeral, and still immortal. Much like Chopin himself.

MY GOD ... This is the most depressing and sad piano song turned into pure beauty. The deepest feelings of nostalgia and redemption.

This music very well reflects the sadness and mood after the partition of the Polish Kingdom Commonwealth in the 18th century by three countries, after several major wars, which, although won by Poland weakened it greatly, so the invasion by Prussia, Austria and Russia was possible (yes, the same Austria saved by Poland in 1683 as well as whole Europe - never again!!!). At one point, Chopin had to emigrate to France where he died. His heart (at Szopen request) is in Poland, in St. Cross church in Warsaw. There is a plaque with a carved inscription for Fryderyk Chopin - compatriots and a quotation from the Gospel of St. Mateusz -" Where your treasure is, there is your heart". IMO there is mistake in info below video - in accordance with the wishes of the composer, who died on October 17, 1849, fragments of W. A. Mozart's Requiem were performed during the funeral mass - not this Prelude E-moll.

For the people who are just calling this sad, there's more to this music that sadness. It's wistful. It evokes feelings of longing for something that was lost and is now deeply missed.

Whoa yes. It’s the sad longing for something deeply missed, like you wrote, but underneath that runs a thread of hope that someday that longing will be satisfied. The E minor chord at the end finishes the piece quite nicely.

@NikiWonoto26

it's kinda depressing actually. I think it's a perfect music for depression, or someone who are depressed, like me

@drechsla

1y↑1

This is a great point. I believe Chopin's deepest desire was always to return to his native Poland but Poland's constant tumult made that an impossibility which created this tinge of longing in his compositions. I think this is why he requested his heart be returned to Poland, as his physical body was never able to.

@yalfostable

Chopin the piano champion <3

Although not always in direct practice, all of his pieces are complex, at least from an emotional standpoint. Somehow he speaks a language that most of us understand, even without study.

In implementation, this piece is probably simple enough for me to learn! Another easy piece, yet deep in emotional value that you could play is his Waltz in A Minor, Op. Posth 19. I'm sure you're up to your neck in requests at this point, but you might want to add it to your backlog :)
