Hey everyone... The last days were not easy for me and I didn't have the energy to edit a happy vibes video as usual. I just lost an important person in my life and would like to share this piece of music with her. I hope she can hear it up there.

I lost my dad several years ago when I was fifteen. Hearing you play pulled me right back into the grieving process. Every emotion.
0:00-0:56 - The "pretty" cry. The cry that society and actresses want to see. It's the cry that you do in your room after finding out the news. You're proud that you are holding yourself together in those moments.
0:57-1:27 - This is when you hear the eulogies for the person that you are grieving. They were such an amazing person. Brought so much love and light into this world How could they leave?
1:28-2:10 - The anger starts to build. The tension in your heart. The price that you pay for love: grief.
2:11-2:38 - Your world fell apart. You can literally see the pieces falling down into some black hole. You can't imagine possibly going through this and being ok someday.
2:39-3:06 - While you are going through the tirade in your room, something makes you stop immediately. You catch a glimpse of the picture you have in your room of the person you are grieving. There is still anger at them for leaving you, but what use is the anger going to do at a picture that is bringing you so much love.
3:07-4:23 - So you cry. You sit in the fetal position on your couch or bed or the floor. You know that you're going to be ok, but everything just royally suxx right now. You hear faint laughter coming from the other room. It's your family members, probably reminiscing about the amazing times. You can't wait to meet them again, someday.
I don't know if you played the piece before or after finding out the passing of your grandmother, but it was full of emotion and was a pleasure to listen to. I am sending you so much love to you and your whole family.

Liebe Annique, ich möchte dir mein tiefstes Beileid aussprechen. Auch ich habe vor nicht allzu langer Zeit eine nahestehende Person verloren und kann deinen Schmerz nachvollziehen. Es ist sehr schwer, Abschied zu nehmen, ich wünsche dir alle Kraft und alles Gute der Welt. Man spürt die Emotionen, mit denen Du das Stück spielst sehr. Deine Großmutter ist bestimmt sehr stolz auf dich, möge sie in Frieden ruhen.

[iversonpaulalay]

She is at peace now. My deepest condolences.

[SuperHubian]

Honestly, I like your interpretation more than lang lang’s. It conveys a soft feeling. Thank you very much

[lohann_x]

I think I can feel the emotions you've shared while playing and the story you told throughout this song. Thank you Annique and may your grandmother rest in peace 🕊️🤍

[DesertRat]

I love your dynamics in this piece. Your hand and finger action on the last few notes are incredible. Wow.

[JRTRobbie]

I play this song every day. If I died, I will put this song in my funeral ceremony in the future

[ameliebatlle]

This is my favourite etude from Chopin, maybe my favourite piece ever. I don't know, I don't have words to describe theses beautifuls feelings when I listen it.
I want to tell you that I'm in love with your interpretation of this georgous piece, sincerely. You play it so expressive, at moments you express peace and love and sometimes you express that pain and energy.
It's perfect to me. 💘💘💘

We can feel the emotions you want to share. I'm sure your grandmother, wherever she is, is very proud of you. Rest in piece🕊🖤

[Pyrblast]

Chopin himself said this was the most beautiful melody he ever composed.

[marlenmavrou]

I totally feel you why you chose this piece for your grandma. My mom has asked me to learn this for the day she will pass away. My deepest condolences! 😢 I have started working on this piece. Hope I make it to play it as great as you did! Wish me luck!

[WolfgangDrEpple]

[metalabyssinian]

She must be so proud of you, may her soul rest in peace, god bless.🧡

[garyoman]

Thank you for a magnificent performance of this classic.

[gogozaharinov]

I'm really sorry for your loss, Annique! May she rest in peace!

[jssv]

When the soul speaks, the world listens.

[JohannaA.]

@Heart of the Keys, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my Granny this week as well. She was suffering a lot, and finally, she could rest. It's not easy, but in time we will need to find strength again. Both of them will always be hearing us play.
I hope you find comfort in Music. Take your time, I'm sure the sun will shine again.

[thienthao]

Beautiful, and my condolences. Listening to this makes me feel sad.

[catherinekelly]

Chopin said that this was perhaps his finest melody!
