Frederic Chopin - Prelude Op 28 No 15 'Raindrop'

- This is Prelude Op. 28 No. 15 in D flat major 'Raindrop' from Frederic Chopin. I performed this after 2,5 years of learning to play the piano.
This is the longest prelude from Opus 28, and at the same time probably one of the most famous ones. It was named Raindrop because of the constant A flat eighth notes pitter-pattering in the bass, which may remind a light rain shower.
One of my favorites Chopin's pieces.
Excellent job. This is one of my favorite songs! Beautifully played!
Hi, the first time I ever heard this song was when a fellow marine of mine played it in our bootcamp church the Weekend before we earned our title... he is no longer with us... just wanted to say thanks for the memories
Chopin´s has written the most beautiful pieces of all.
Beautiful, made me fell the raindrops themselves.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much. I've been working on it, and you did a great job of helping me to hear what it could sound like.
Wow great job! This is my favorite piano piece and you do it justice.
This is very well played. you have really simplified it (esp. the ornaments) and allowed the harmonies to come through really well...
nice sound for an electric piano as well.
You did a fantastic job! Keep it up! You played this beautiful piece perfectly :)
Enfin le tempo que je cherchais! Bravo pour l'interpretation.
I really enjoyed your version of this, I, too, am trying to learn this....One of my favorite pieces. I've listened to probably 20 versions of this at least a hundred times. I must say, your's is inspiring. While listening, one imagines a spring rain with a slow constant drip with the storm coming and going.....which is why I like the slower playing of this. I only have a year and a half to go to catch up!
brilliantly played by the way, five stars!
Beautiful.
it's so beautiful..!!!
At the age of 28, 38 years ago, I had a vinyl LP including this played by LIvia Rev.
That inspired me to buy a cheap old piano and tried to learn to play piano from scratch.
I started with this 1st and played it to a piano teacher to start proper lessons. I re-learnt it with the teacher after a year and she said the touch was very good. I think this version is great. Now I am struggling to re-learn this after 25 years with no piano, but my old brain is making slower progress than I did 1st time.
Congrats man...that sounded great...
amazing!!
very nice man
good luck on your career, keep it up
I play the piano 9 years and now I must play this on my lesson, but WTF? Its so haaard! You're talent in my eyes :) I hope that one day i will play the piano like you!
Subtle and expressive, as was intended...♪
Aż się nie chce wierzyć że grasz tylko 4 lata! Fantastyczne granie!
Excellent
Me parece espectacular, es pecioso este preludio, este preludio de Chopin es precioso... !!! ME ENCANTO !!!
I liked so much. =)
you play very well.
oh my God! you are VERY talented! :)) i'm learning this.. it's difficult for me, but beautiful (: ♥
i wish i could play it, that way good. i'm only 14 and play since 3. and love classical music. your interpretation is awesome. you are really good
truely amazing... 5/5 and in my favourites if i had to describe it in one woed it would be... "touching"
For the people saying this is too fast, this peice doesn't have a set speed, it is played differently depending on the person playing.
while the performance may be "far from perfect," this level of playing after only 2.5 years experience is quite commendable! well done.
And I do mean thanks, it only seems to hit home when I see it played...
@MasterThief1324 a software that you run on a PC, to which you connect piano. When the key is pressed on the keyboard, the actual sound is generated by virtual instrument on PC, which is The Steinberg Grand Piano 2
Inspired by raindrops, and you can feel the natural entity of emotion flowing through the peice. This was even used in the Halo 3 advert!
That's because this piece is used for the Halo 3 Commercial called "Believe" :)
アルトルさん、本当にすばらしいです❣❣❣
どうも有難うございました！
Very well played. Sounds great even though it isn't played on an acoustic instrument. I feel that it is better than many of the more professional versions.
Very accomplished. I reckon you could go a little more dramatic in the middle section but too many people overdo it, and as it's a digital piano you have excellent dynamic control. Also you've chosen the right tempo - Valentina Igoshina's version tries to extract drama from every bar. Your version is very very nice indeed.
Yamaha Clavinova CLP-230. The sound itself come from the Steinberg the Grand Piano VST.
This prelude is about Grade 7 standard. I would have said that from complete beginner to Grade 7 would take at least 5 years, if not more. Never rush into playing a piece, learn it when you are ready to do so and you can do a beautiful piece like this justice. Good luck! :)
Because some of us are merely meant to appreciate it.
@petlovergal1234 i feel exactly the same, i cant say if i prefer the feeling of it or the sound.
if you're talking about the part where theres the repeating G# note in the bass clef, u'll notice in the score theres an "m.d." written above it telling you to play it with your right hand!! so, play the G# note with the thumb of your right hand.. should take care of that part!! :) i hope im referring to the same part tho :S
Beautiful playing!! I'm trying to learn this as well. May I ask what kind of piano that is? I'm in the market for a digital myself, my acoustic deserves to be laid to rest, lol. It's lived a good long life as it is (50 years).
@Cortez51094 Yeah! thats true!
Halo Reach "Believe" trailer led me to this beautiful piece .
@albertbrond y thank you, person i dont know
@martinisipe Yamaha CLP 230 + The Steinberg Grand Piano 2
Frederik Chopin the Polish master of music is amazing. His pieces are beautiful!
Nicely played, but with more feeling and the sustain pedal, would make it better!
Holy crap. I'm playing this song too. And I'm self taught (for the most part). And I've only been playing piano for about 2 years also. That was really weird.
I love this piece andave learned all of it except the section from measure 72 to 75! Theres this one chord that goes from the g sharp with a c sharp an e and an A sharp in the right hand and I can't reach it my hands are just barely too small! Any advice!? I Can easily reach an octave and a second with my hands but can't play that chord and it's stopping me from learning the whole piece.
good comment, thanks
dont say you are not skilled, you are! i started playing the piano yesterday. I am trying to teach myself, and after playing yesterday and today the whole day i want to learn this piece ;)
how long did you have to practice until you could do it like that?
I play this song perfectly at around 1 year and a half.
@0Kaytlin960 The hands and the positioning aren't that difficult when you get them down. But putting them together is difficult.
Great song! What brand/model of piano is this?
Thanks. Do you happen to know how the clp/cvp series (clp 230-280, or cvp 330-405) compare to the CP300 (a very good stage piano) in terms of piano sounds, and keyboard touch? Which is more realistic/dynamic and closer to a real grand piano?
for some reason i've recently gotten into liking fredrick chopin's work, maybe its because of that eternal sonata game...
eiter way i'm still lookin for a certain peice that i'm still not sure is in youtube
Halo Believe... Yeah. Nuff said.
@arturm75 hi, what did you mean by "+ the steinberg grand piano 2"? Is it a software you download onto the piano?
did you learn this via sheet music? awesome job
I'd be willing to bet he used a midi/audio out on his keyboard to record the sound directly to computer or otherwise, and later synched it with the video
remind anyone else of Halo 3? good song. well done
Let me guess. You have a another tab open that has Rap/ Hip-hop open? But nice for listing to classical music.
I am considering taking piano lessons. I have 0 clue how to play, but I am musically and rhythmically inclined with other instruments. I know Chopin is technically challenging. How long do you think it would take a beginner to be able to play this properly? Probably a stupid question from someone who doesn't play. But hey... I could have asked this on a Rachmaninoff video. haha
Wow...
You're good...I'm playing the same song, but you're way better than me^^,
played perfectly (as far as I can tell ;) )!!! and no, it's not that hard to learn - I'm 19 and can play it, although it's only my hobby!
its amazing, but you should do it a little slower, still, the most amazing piece i ever saw.
They may have assumed I was implying something about the skill of the player or suggesting he does not play it himself. Just a misunderstanding. Of course I'm not suggesting that - rather just taking a guess at the method used to record his playing with the highest quality.
I enjoyed this. The right hand can get to loud at times. the A sharp or constant eighth note in my opinion should be a little quieter overall. Also I would prefer the song a little slower and taken with a little more rubato.
I can't even play that piece ;) but i would do it just a little bit slower...
And by the way. i wish i could play just as good as you do.
unfortunately I have no such comparison; in this regard I would advice you to visit the piano shop and seek for an advice there. Or, try all these instruments by yourself and see which one you prefer the most. For myself the CLP-230 is quite close (in the terms of the 'touch') to real grand piano - keys are quite heavy, the dynamics is pretty OK. Hope this helps. Cheers.
But the piece and playing is very beautiful :)
Many thanks for warm words, though I do not think I am skilled at piano - at least not now, and not in the near future. If you like the piano so much why don't you become a pianist? :)
What brand is that piano?
Very interesting, yet nice interpretation. I loose a lot of the natural resonance from the artificial keyboard. The B Section is very well done, the right hand could be a little softer - or the repeated notes start to get very offensive. I would take a little liberty too in the post B section; there are a lot of suspensions and resolutions that could be open to freedom of expression - really bring them in out.
If the gift is that the elephant have not yet put his feet on my hear, then I would consider myself gifted :) Seriously - I started to practice and the effects came themselves with a time. If you are capable to find some time for practice, and have enough persistent to wait 2-3 years for first effects - I am sure you will learn to play piano.
good camera angle i can see much better
the others are flat and you cant see the fingers
i'm 4.75. i been playing 4.5 yrs.
Doh! Disregard my question, I just scrolled down and saw someone had already asked. I feel like an idiot now, thanks anyways though. =)
wow nice job :)
wanna know what do you think about my interpretation :)
let me know . bye
at 4:23 right after the mistake u play something that is not from the original sheets, its a bit different that part, just more complicated because its faster but still good job
halo tune ftw
3:50 something doesnt sound right there, did you play a wrong note?
I think it may have been the peddle there I think I think you may be right though but sound nice !
+Rodrigo Amaro Are you thinking of the e d# e chord? If so it's an awkward sounding one.
@Skrufnyckeln wtf?? just wanted some advice..
huh? im just here cuz i owe a project on Chopin due tommorow that i didn't yet start...
purist will go ape, but i always cut out the middle part when i play this for an audience
very good, i think you went a tad too fast thought.
though, sorry. good job!
Sounds great! But u still need to fix your dynamics a little bit :)
I think tempo is fine i've heard it slower and I think it loses part of its magic
try to make left hand more... like "firmly".... and it would be nice with a piano where you could make more sound... the "angry" part of this ehh song, has to be VERY angry you know... otherwise, it's good ^^
You're not a bad piano player, I think you have very good skills.. But I feel that you didn't really enjoy playing this miraculous piece.. It needs more expresivity, shades, breathing and romanticism.. All in all, more feeling... But I'm not trying to disappoint you, I'm sure you can play this prelude better than you did in the video...
Go on playing!
In my honest opinion. c3p0 can be annoying at times, with his prattling. I like r2d2 better, he just beeps at times when it seems funny to beep.;) Sorry, I couldn't resist!
Do you want a slap?
Why are you being neg repped?! It is probably true, it is not detracting in any way from his ability! You guys should stop jumping to conclusions, evervans is probably right, you cannot hear the keys at all-anyone here played an electric piano??? Even on very soft notes you would be able to hear a very audible 'thump' from the keys!
slow down a bit, in my opinion
Love the song but Guy needs play it with more feeling.
nice! but a little bit too fast...
too fast, great piano.
sweet man, my version is much faster lol
@CritiquingCricket I'm sorry but this is far from perfect.
too fast
