I think this is easily Chopin’s darkest, most foreboding song. It does a great job creating a really awkward, uneasy feeling, like something is clearly not right and it’s only a matter of time until it all falls down. I always imagine a villain in a movie speaking during this song.
This is great! Perhaps the best explanation on UA-cam of this piece. I don't think you did it in this video, but any idea why the penultimate chord is usually arpeggiated?
@@avalon2502 I looked into this a bit, but didn't find an exact answer. In some publications, though, there are arpeggio notations (Source: imslp.org/wiki/Preludes,_Op.28_(Chopin,_Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric)#Complete_2). My edition (Schirmer) did not have this marking. It doesn't seem the original had it either (Source: www.chopinonline.ac.uk/cfeo/browse/pageview/71889/)

Thanks so much dude, you're very underrated sadly :(
Nice dramatic interpretation
