Vadim Chaimovich Plays Nocturne Op. 9 No.1 B-Moll by Chopin

lol YOU FAIL

It's not a song.

I never said it was easy, that is why I was outting it in quites, it was all the other people critisciscing, mayybe those remarks have been removed by now, if you had read the rest if what I said, i DID say. 'If only i could play like that!'
Thank You....

This song is quite far from easy. It's quite a subtle piece. But that's probably why it's so good..? ;)

I like how he makes the bottom note of the bass sound like pizzicato strings.

please don't try and stifle the opinions of others. i don't know if you are a musician at all. but as a classically trained musician i can say that music is all about interpretation, rubato though a major player in the writing and playing of expressive music, if used excessively can be counter-productive.

My favourite piece, no matter who says how 'easy' it is - or whatever critiques ther are - if only I should play so well. Bravo to you Vadim. Eveyrone is a CRITIC - post YOUR vids then!

maybe your interpretation is to not use rubato. please don't critize another's interpretaion just because u dont play it that way

I don't agree entirely with you.
People change opinion with the time.
I think the "best" interpretation is one that explains completely the music - the music, all the ideas - so that when you listen to it you know exactly what the music transmit to you (although you can't really explain it in words, because Music is a language by itself) and why the composer rote exactly this or that note, phrase, duration, etc. This don't change with the time and the "right" way of playing should is this one.

I LIKE CHOPIN . EU GOSTO DE CHOPIN .

However, nicely played

I agree, he's using rubato in evey phrase. Especially the part in the middle is anoying, WAY to much rubato

I worship Vadim. he's obviously a genius of interpretations, he plays like apollo sent him, for what I know he's got like 20 yrs of education and has performed on stage since he was little, but most of all I worship him for sharing his most precious work with us on youtube, letting us enjoy it and critisize on his rubatos.

This really seems the only more or less objective criterion. However, even more objective thing is time: people may have bad taste etc., but only things which live through time are objectively good, e.g. Bach, Mozart. imho.

If it contents you to think this way, then you are free to do so.
