    My mother played this piece in the 1950's before arthritis stole her music away at age 35. But I remember her passion-- even as she played through the pain. I was about 9 when she stopped. (She lived to 87!)But her love for music put me on a 49-year career as a performer, writer, producer........ as well as Dad's big-band he led before he went into the AA Corps in 1940..........Many stories!

    Most contemporary pianists, unfortunately play Chopin's music too fast,the essence of harmony gets diffused by the clatter of the keyboard's action, Valentina in this video plays a very moderate and appropriate tempo for this piece, that demonstrates the cheer elegance of this composition, sensible approach from this pianist, a very enjoyable experience listening to miss Lisitsa.

      right? I love her more than anyone else (only except for Horowitz) because of the detail and how her music speaks to the soul. It's so neat and everything is in the details. I just can't get enough of her. She is the sole reason I'm still playing the piano today after 14 years. I gave up twice but picked up 4 years ago (I was 14, so quite old to start catching up tbh) when I heard her play the 3rd movement of Tempest. Truly amazing and inspirational. I am currently working on the Rage over a Lost Penny and practicing hard on Pischna technical studies for my muscles. Hopefully one day I can play La Campanella like her!

    Op. is for 'Opus', it is a method by which composers assign a number to catalogue a set of compositions - It helps to identify individual pieces. Remember that an Opus number is NOT a good indicator of the chronological order in which these compositions were produced, nor do they bear a logical relationship to the order in which the works were written. To achieve better sales, publishers and budding composers gave early works much higher opus numbers than their chronological order would merit.

      Probably because the internet is a complete hellhole- often sexist and hateful for no reason whatsoever. Just today I’ve read dozens of cruel comments on different channels. People apparently love to watch porn and make disgustingly shallow and even pedophilic jokes, it’s all I can gather from them. It’s saddening.

      Pelo o que percebi, a galera têm reclamado que ela toca rápido demais as músicas. Mas, eu acho a interpretação dela tão pessoal e gostosa, que nem ligo pra isso. Porque eu acho que cada intérprete imprime sua marca em uma interpretação, e essa é a forma dela de expressão. Mas as pessoas geralmente só pensam no fato de que "tudo tem que ser quadradinho", não conseguem aceitar algo diferente. Principalmente aquele pessoal mais "conservadorista".

    I have heard this work at least 1,000 times performed by 100 different pianists, and for me the gold standard has always been Artur Rubinstein's Italian recordings from the late 1950s for RCA. But today, I can honestly say that I have heard, for the first time in 40 years, a fresh, vibrant and -- with the delicate yet explosively dramatic coda -- stunning performance that breaks the mold. Ms. Lisitsa, you manage to bring something new to these warhorses in a way that is without equal. Brava!
