"In all my life I have never again been able to find such a beautiful melody." -Chopin
@larsdybvad4789
Chopin! This Etude op. 10 no 3 in E major, has been my favorite piano melodi for 50 years now, I was 21 when l first bought the record on vinyl in 1973💜
@Pamela-dv7gb
Even if many chopin mélodies are incredible this one is masterpiece 😢❤❤❤
@lawsoncabell
This was the most difficult piece I ever learned many (many) years ago. I had the entire thing memorized and I was simply too young to appreciate how the brain works. I haven’t played the piano in so long that I would not even know where to start now but if I ever have the opportunity again before I die, I will start with this beautiful work. If you are still young, do not let these things go or take anything for granted!!

Wow! It might still be in your muscle memory and come back quickly to you!
Did you learn this version or a simpler one?
@lawsoncabell
@SarahMount Studios I learned and played it as written by Chopin. Listening to it now, I realize what an accomplishment that was for me as a young person. The only way I could play with feeling was to memorize a piece - to get the technical issues out of the way. My father was my teacher- he was, and is, a gifted musician and performer. Like so many others, I simply failed to appreciate the significance of the gift and opportunity I was given. I still hope to find my way back.

@Lynn Lawson There's a part of you that's found it's way back already, it's waiting for the rest to catch up. Why keep it waiting right?
@mariakaraboeva2908
I think you will have the opportunity! ❤️✨
@lamcy1731
@Lynn Lawson Chopin's music rests deep inside one's hearts. I'm sure you can re-learn it and appreciate it much more than you used to!
@AdamIronside
Chopin said himself this is his most beautiful melody, I think he was right!
