10. Chopin Ballade #4
Edited on Thu Oct-23-03 05:16 PM by Ratty
It's been my favorite piece of music for as long as I can remember. The North Korean pianist was playing it on West Wing last night as a matter of fact. From what little he played it was a VERY good interpretation, far more intimate than one usually hears (I didn't care for his rendition of the Étudé later on, but then again I've always hated that piece anyway, so perhaps I'm biased). The Bösendorfer it was played on added a special touch of delicate magic as well--and I've always been such a Steinway snob. I've studied that piece for years and years but have never been satisfied with the way I play it.
