  • In the ethereal realm of my interpretation, a profound resonance emerges, reflecting the intricate tapestry of my emotions and the idiosyncrasies that define my very being. With every stroke upon the keys, a torrent of anger and frustration finds its voice, intertwining with the melodies that unfold.
    Within the depths of the second theme, a poignant metaphor takes shape-a boat adrift without a compass, much like the labyrinthine journey that mirrors my own chaotic existence. Uncertainty becomes the guiding force, propelling me through the ever-changing currents of life's uncharted waters. And yet, amidst this tumultuous voyage, a glimmer of hope persists, fueling the fire within.
    In the intricate threads of my interpretation, the echoes of love and longing resonate, personified by the presence of Olga, the woman who ignites my heart. Her essence dances delicately within the music, intertwining with the harmonies that spring forth from my touch. Through each fervent keystroke, her spirit intertwines with mine, infusing the composition with an irresistible blend of passion and tenderness.
    Beyond the virtuosic façade lies the heart of a tumultuous soul, a reflection of my own nature. The ebb and flow of the composition mirror the tempestuous currents of my emotions, embodying the very essence of my chaotic, bipolar existence. It is within these contrasts that the true depth of my interpretation finds its voice, transcending the boundaries of convention to unveil an authentic expression of the human experience.
    Therefore, as the keys tremble beneath my fingertips, as the melodies soar and subside, remember that this rendition is more than a mere performance-it is a glimpse into the core of my being. Through anger and frustration, love and chaos, I mold the music into a testament that transcends the constraints of tradition, giving rise to an unfiltered, raw expression of self. And within the grand symphony of life, my soul finds solace, unfurling its wings to soar amidst the harmonious interplay between art and the human spirit.

    What a revelation! I've never heard Chopin's 4th played like this. Absolutely fantastic!

      Thank you so much for your kind words. I am possessed by the 4th ballade and will include it in every concert I will play. The music came to me, not the other way around. It is Fryderyk Szopen his will. Next I will record are some Rachmaninoff preludes and Schumann Arabeske. Have a great day.

    Cette interprétation de l'œuvre de Chopin transcende toute imagination, elle est d'une divinité exquise. Elle incarne une beauté pure et féminine, d'une fougue enivrante, délectable telle la quintessence d'un grand cru. Elle déploie une palette de couleurs, une perspective et une profondeur insondables, évoquant les méandres insaisissables de l'âme humaine.

    Wow! Now this is what the piece should sound like. It's like no interpretation I've heard before, yet it sounds exactly right. I was smiling all the way through. The emotion, colour, and soul flows unbridled. You certainly aren't holding back! Chopin is smiling listening to this. Fantastic!👌

    The first time I hear the middle melody coming out so clearly at 2:41. Very beautiful.

    • @michieldpiano
      @michieldpiano  Рік тому

      Thank you. It is my "Schumannesque" approach to Chopin (and all Romantic pieces I play). The middle themes create a dialogue which can be passionate, serene, sexual or even agressive. In Kreisleriana I demonstrate this. When Schumann lost his mind he started to hear the inner voices. Those voices were there to help and comfort.
