- Ignacy Jan Paderewski (18 November [O.S. 6 November] 1860 - 29 June 1941) was a Polish pianist and composer, politician, statesman and spokesman for Polish independence. He was a favorite of concert audiences around the world. His musical fame opened access to diplomacy and the media.
Piano Concerto, Op. 17 (1888)
Dedicated to Theodor Leschetizky
I. Allegro
II. Romanza. Andante (16:16)
III. Allegro molto vivace (25:34)
Janina Fialkowska, piano and the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Antoni Wit
(Naxos 8.554020)
The first part of the work - an allegro - had already been written back in 1882, and was thus written by the artist when he was in his twenties. Paderewski performed the piece a year later at one of the meetings of the Warsaw Music Society. The rest of the composition was written over the course of the next few years. A part of the piece was for instance written in 1884 in Zakopane, Kraków and Vienna, where Paderewski studied piano under the direction of Teodor Leszetycki, a famous professor to whom the concerto is dedicated. The piece was finally finished in the summer of 1888 in Paris. The first performance took place on 20th January, 1889 in Vienna in the interpretation of Anetta Jessipowa, Leszetycki’s wife, accompanied by an orchestra conducted by Hans Richter. A few weeks later, on 8th April 1889, the A minor concerto was played for the first time in Warsaw.
The second movement, Romanza, breaks my heart. This piece of music inspired me to start collecting Paderewski material in the mid 80s. Fascinating man.
I heard this for the first time ever today. Beautiful and amazing are words that immediately come to mind.
the paderewsky editions are equally good has henrle verlag??
Another hidden gem.
22:42 -- Beautiful
wow ... is it just me ??, but why in the world is this concert not more famous ???? underrated imo
PetStuBa maybe considered too nationalistic
It's good but not great
I went through over 400 videos to find this somewhere in my likes, I couldn’t stop hearing it in my head 🤩
A beautifully melodious work that I've enjoyed since my childhood. I've always been surprised that it isn't at least as popular as the Grieg concerto.
Good comparison. Grieg's is one of the few piano concertos by a "second tier" composer that still is regularly programmed by major Symphony Orchestras.
How have I not heard this Piano Concerto before?!?!?!?!
The number of instrument solos in the Romanza - so good! Such beautiful nods to the varying sections of the standard orchestra.
Sometimes the obscure, under performed piano concertos are more enjoyable than the world famous ones. Work like Rchmaninoff’s 1st Concerto, Saint-Seans’ 5th Piano Concerto, Scriabin’s Concerto and this Paderewski Concerto are just a few which are unfortunate enough to be placed in the shadow of monumental pieces like Beethoven’s 5th Concerto, Rachmaninoff’s 2nd and 3rd Concertos, Tchaikovsky’s 1st, Grieg’s Concerto and both of Chopin’s. Each work is enjoyable in it’s own right and performers should exercise a balanced repertoire of well known and unknown concertos. Music should be an appreciation of art and the composer’s/performer’s achievements and hard work, not which piece is going attract a larger audience.
@@klop4228 yes, Moszkowski's Piano Concerto no. 2 (Op 59) is a real masterpiece, for me on par with Rachmaninoff's 2nd or 3rd.
Wouldn’t call any of the pieces you mentioned « obscure »
Fortunately most that you mention are starting to be played more often. If I may suggest, give a listen to Moszkowski in E major, Rubinstein 4th, Massenet... Albeniz also has an interesting one. There's a whole underworld of concerti that deserve to be played.
This guy is underrated.
Unfortunetely it's true
This is another wonderful discovery!
One of my favorite more obscure piano concertos. The slow movement is just gorgeous.
Since you like exploring the magnificent plethora of Music
on this magical UA-cam
you should try the RK (Rimsky-Korsakoff) Piano Concerto.

Busoni's student work the Concerto in D Minor is a gem, rarely if ever performed. It is on UA-cam performed by Carlo Grante. Excellent recording. one I plan to upload on YT with score.

@@bartjebartmans This is appreciated!
Thank you for filming the score.
What a great work!
A great masterpiece...Love to listen to other works he composed. Thank you..a great pianist.
It takes some nerve to sign your comment, "a great pianist," next to this guy!
What a beautiful piece
Très beau concerto qui est à la hauteur des meilleurs de son temps. Mérite une plus grande popularité.
Oh goody, thanks for doing this. 😁

32:21 I always love it when a composer incorporates an idea from the opening movement of a work . Other grate examples would be Tchaikovsky’s 4th Symphony, Beethoven’s 9th and Elgar’s Cello Concerto. It’s like a little musical easter egg which ties the while work together.
Forgive my ignorance - what piece (specifically) does this part mimic (or draw inspiration)?
@@jmbechtel He means that a theme from the first movement is repeated in the last movement of the work, not a theme from a whole different piece
@@The_Guy_Who_Asked_06 Wow, I can't believe I misread that! Thank you for pointing that out- so embarrassed. Aha. ☺️🫣😅
Paderewski. What a great piece of music this is. Poland is one of those gems of a country. Producing so so many great artists.
and yet everyone loves crack jokes about how stupid poles are. id love to see how great their world would be without polish innovation
Amazing! Very beautiful.
I'm so happy to see that there is finally a score video of this masterpiece! Thank you! :)

Quite wonderful!
Wspaniały koncert !
greetings from Poland !
Yesss! Thank you for sharing this masterpiece
This piece is so underrated! I love the opening theme as well as the Romanza! Everything about this concerto leaves me in goosebumps every time I listen to it!
One word: WONDERFUL ‼
Muchas gracias por compartir tremenda joya y a un gran compositor, que pena que muy poca gente sepa de su musica.
My favourite piano concerto ever ❤🔥
Excellent performance. Thanks for orchestral score. Old favorite from my childhood.
I'm a late bloomer I'm just getting into classical music, I love this piece it's not overwhelming . Can't wait to get into more of it. I love Beethoven Tchaikovsky, Chopin and I'm sure there's many more can't wait can't wait. Barbara from Tennessee
Keep at it, Barb. I've been a listener all my life and been constantly rewarded in re-listening to & discovering all there is. Good stuff.
Try anna federova ragmaninoff 2e and 3e by avrotros😊
Браво замечательный очень красивый виртуозный концерт
Fabulous! An unfortunately underappreciated masterpiece.
Awesome!
Klassik Radio brought me here. I listened to the second movement at 11:40pm and just had to look it up.
Absolutely beautiful
Fialkowska's crisp technique really helped show just how good the 1st movement can be when it's done right - my favorite recording of this concerto for sure!
Thank you for the upload!
Thanks you so much ,
I enjoy and hope more songs
Happy birthday, Paderewski
Not a bad piece to have been composed by a Prime Minister! Seriously, I will never understand why this gorgeous work is so rarely heard in the concert hall. To me it stands comparison with the Grieg and Tchaikovsky concerti and is much more enjoyable than the Liszt yet we can hear them anytime we like.
It's amazing that Paderewski used his popularity to become prime minister of Poland.
Denisse....Ti vengo in soccorso e sono latinoacculturato come te. Commento questo come un ottimo concerto ,che d'altronde da uno come Paderewski non poteva essere altrimenti.
Un saluto anche a Bartye sempre per l'ottimo caricamento video e culturale
I LOVE THIS
Nice last movement!
18:27 - 19:15 ❤️
Hr signed the treaty of Versailles for Poland.
I wonder if there is a paderewski edition of this
Paderewski reportedly recorded some piano pieces using an early form of recording player piano in which the keys pushed vertical carbon rods down into dashpots of mercury beneath the keys, thus changing the resistance depending on the length of the carbon rod remaining extended above the surface of the mercury. An electric arc was produced from the signal which burned a wider strip from the piano roll depending on how far each key was depressed. I do not believe the piano part of the concerto was recorded, but I would still like to hear the pieces Paderewski's did record in this manner re-created with current technology.

Paderewski was Nikola Tesla´ s friend.
Sounds much influenced by Tchaikovsky
Se nota la ignorancia e incultura de los latinos e hispanoparlantes. No veo a nadie de estos países que haga el más mínimo comentario. ¡Qué vergüenza!
Deje el culto al eurocentrismo y al academicismo! Le aseguro que si mañana le preguntara a cualquier alemán promedio en la calle quién era Haydn, no sabría responder. Porque hay que ver la calidad de música que a ellos les encanta! 😆😅🤣
É... Tanto aqui na América latina quanto na Europa a coisa está feia. Pelo velho continente ainda há uma velha guarda que consegue repassar, em alguma medida, suas jóias a juventude. Ainda assim a perspectiva para a posteridade não é otimista, visto a cada vez mais baixa qualidade da cultura mainstream que a tudo parece engolir. O que cabe a nós, no entanto, não é a exasperação, mas cuidar dessas preciosidades e repassa-las adiante a quem tiver ouvidos para escutar. Aliás, talvez esse sentimento negativo seja injustificado se baseado na ilusão de que a coisa foi melhor em outros tempos. Pois vejam, Paderewski não viveu duas grandes guerras? Assim como Rachmaninoff e Ravel, por exemplo. E nós, por acaso vivemos guerra alguma? Como poderiamos reclamar? Para fazer o que nos cabe fazer, nunca houve tempo melhor. Avante, hermanos!
This piece is so underrated! I love the opening theme as well as the Romanza! Everything about this concerto leaves me in goosebumps every time I listen to it!
