    You have such a deep respect for Chopin, and give attention to the whole piece rather than just the coda like many performers today. It's really refreshing to see someone playing a piece for its music and story rather than just any other performance piece. Your interpretation inspired me to pick up this piece again, so keep up the good work :)

    Piękna interpretacja! Lubię słychać tych nieco mniej ogranych utworów mistrza Fryderyka, bo po latach szkół muzycznych... no, niektórych znieść juz nie mogę;). Pozdrawiam i życzę dalszych muzycznych (i nie tylko) sukcesów😊.

    @sunareekaewnat8837 День тому +1

    Greg, I do not like this interpretation at all. 1) I think there needs to be more contrast between the two statements in the introduction, even if it interferes with articulation of the dueling crescendo and diminuendo; 2) It is just not clear at all to me from the dynamic modulation and rubato what the emotional evolution you are trying to capture is from the five appearances of the first theme; and 3) if you are going to slow down the bridge, there needs to be more dynamic modulation and rubato to give it more emotional impact as I do not think that by "in tempo" Chopin was saying "no variation in speed.". Listening a few more times.

    • @gregniemczuk
      @gregniemczuk  День тому

      Thank you very much!
      The interpretation of this piece is a long process and I will surely take your words into consideration.
      I am aware of the fact that in this very piece my playing and interpretation is drastically different from what we are used to in other recordings. This is my biggest challenge that I see in the score completely different Chopin's ideas than anybody else. Maybe I'm wrong, and there will be an evolution of interpretation. We will see.
      I'm definitely searching. So I haven't recorded this on my CD project yet.
      But one thing is sure for now - I don't want to play faster the places where Chopin doesn't say it, only because everybody does .....

    • @sunareekaewnat8837
      @sunareekaewnat8837 День тому

      @@gregniemczuk Finding a way to attach distinct emotional colors to the five appearances is far more difficult than in Ballades No. 1 and 3 where there are only 3. The ballades to me are emotional journeys so there always must be progression within the music even if you end up, as in Ballade No. 2 at an earlier point.

      @sunareekaewnat8837 yes, I totally agree. I'll still work on that, and every performance for sure will be different.
      For me the first theme here is like a schizophrenic person....

      @@sunareekaewnat8837 first - it's a presentation of the person in the story. Second - this person gets a little inquiet and unsure about the future.
      Third - something bad happens at the bottom of his soul (Lowe voice) which ends in the first, little drama. The fourth - is actually 4 personalities in one person (polyphony), the 5th - he gets panicking because of realizing th as t he's mentally sick. Than the second theme brings us to the climax and drama.
