This is a really interesting one. Like the other three ballades, it's heavily driven by its structure, but in a way that's more ambiguous to interpret. The first ballade, which you've already reacted to, has a pensive main theme that could teeter towards either ecstasy or tragedy. It first resolves to the former in what seems to be the climax of the piece, but then the ecstasy fades, and tragedy is all that's left (and oh boy is that ever a classic Chopinian story). At first glance, the fourth seems to do the same thing, but the transition is far less organic. Rather than letting the "ecstasy" section have its time in the sun and fizzle out, the tragic ending hijacks the narrative in a bizarre hairpin turn punctuated by a moment of subdued reflection. The ending section itself is intentionally muddled and stumbling, packing none of the first ballade's calamitous punch. Even the buildup to the presumptive ecstatic climax from 9:00-10:37 is... stretched, with the momentum reliant on exaggerated ornamentation that borders on self-parody. Honestly, if this piece has a genuine emotional climax, it's that wonderful, lush polyphonic section from 4:20-5:00. It's an interesting canvas to work with, and one that supports a lot of interpretations. When I tried to play it, I viewed it as the voice of someone who's just very tired. If the first ballade is about a youngster who finds happiness only to have it shattered, then the fourth is about someone who's been through the wringer enough times to know how things will probably end. The hope they can muster is forced and false, and they'd rather smother it themselves than wait for something to come and ruin it. The only real peace they find is in those fleeting, subtle moments where they can just enjoy life's pleasures for what they are, rather than working themselves up with expectation of a "happily ever after".
Such a tragic piece, especially that ending
this piece is BY FAR my favourite classical piece !!
That coda (final section) is absolutely beautiful, simply sublime.
This has been my favorite piece for a while. Absolutely beautiful idk what to even think about it tbh. Very interesting feeling.
This is my favorite piece ever. Thank you so much for reacting!!
As usual a great reaction bro!
Great Reaction As Always,Looking Forward For You to React To Symphony
Chopin, Liszt, and Alkan are the holy trinity of romantic pianists and composers. Check out Alkan if you don't know him, you won't regret it.
Greate reaction! You should react to Paganini variation-"Nel cor piu non mi sento" played Ziyu He.
When I have to describe quintessential Chopin and Romantic piano music, I use this piece (Barcarolle being the other). Autumnal in nature, this piece uses every bit of the pianist's technique & artistry to move the heart & mind to a beautiful place. Glad you like it.
Love your channel! You should react to some symphonies, they are one of the richest musical treasures of the classical music world. Anything by Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler, Shostakovich, Rachmaninov and many others. I would recommend Mozart Symphony No. 40 for start, or Beethoven 9th
You should try Rach 2 piano concerto and his moment musicaux 3 and 4
10:57: yesss👏👏👏, that was beutiful. I think he is not done 😗, I’ sorry 😀😅my bad guys. Ooo😳
