If you like Chopin music on Sundays during summer in Łazienki Park, Warsaw, Poland are Chopin music concerts. One of my favorites because you can sit on the grass and just listen. It's something that I haven't seen anywhere else. Unique experience. And it's free! Definitely check it out when you are in Europe.

If Chopin felt that way about public performances, then piano competitions would have surely made him livid

Chopin is the best. No one compares to him, musically-speaking. Especially at 0:33. He was at his best there.

"Chop Chop" I never could stand that name. But i called my george always georgy. She didn't enjoy that either.

I learned from an old timer that Chopin's Polonaise Eroique was very popular on the radio in the latter part of WW2. This was due partly to the movie A Song to Remember. During an intermission of a showing of that movie on the hanger deck of the USS Randolph, it was struck by a Kamikaze. They said if not for the intermission, many more sailors would have died. Chopin's music is always heroic and is infused with the spirit of liberty and freedom from tyranny.

#10 There is an 'urban legend' that liszt sight read the etudes lol.
#11 There is another 'urban legend' about Chopin improvising for hours after liszt committed the sacrilege. When a moth hit the candle and the candle went off, someone was about to light it up again got Chopin was like: 'actually, turn off all the lights, the moonlight is quite enough' and started improvising. After it ended, Liszt was like: "I understand, you are a brilliant poet, and your work is not to be meddled with"
Also I like how grande valse brillante waltz is playing in the background, BRILLIANT

He has been my favorite since I was about 10 years old. My problem is that I love good music but have no musical talent at all.

Good video, been sleeping with Chopin's music the last few years, relaxes me although sometimes makes me sad as well.

[B.D.F.]

It's always so lovely to watch your videos.

[alannacarlson]

Chopin's lifelong illness may actually have been caused by Cystic Fibrosis, and he would have actually died of that instead of tuberculosis. This is believed based off his family history.

#24 Chopin suffered from visual hallucinations believed to be caused by temporal lobe epilepsy

I have a crush on someone who has been dead for 169 years.
