Chopin – Polonaise No.6 As-Dur op.53 “Heroique” 12/07
August 17th, 2010 | 
Author: 
This is Kristian Cvetkovic playing Chopin´s Heroic Polonaise (home amateur recording). Kristian was born on 2. November 1991 in Zug, Switzerland and plays the piano since he was 5 (http://www.cvetkovic.com ).
The performance is different from the one recorded in February 2007 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXp_Wklfzjc ). An effort has been made to introduce more dynamic nuances and to emphasize few “dancing” moments. Yet a Polonaise is not a Mazurka, so the principal concept is still “heroic”. Hence the playing with strength, fever and majesty (no virtuosity for the sake of it, although this is ALSO a virtuous piece). Several comments/advices from the YouTube audience have been taken into account, however due to the room echo and the simple mono recording equipment it was unfortunately not possible to show the ideal concept, i.e. as this brilliant piece should/could sound in a concert hall.
*** Wishing everyone a safe, happy and prosperous New Year ***

Beautiful job. In …
Beautiful job. In some places you were trying to bring attention to certain notes by speeding up that section [like the arpeggiated chords], and with Chopin, it is just as effective if not more to create attention by drawing back a little bit, sort of making it a slowing of time. Remember, you can accent a note a number of ways, making it louder, softer, changing tempo near note, slower or faster, or changing the articulation. Try switching it up a bit. But truly, brilliant performance.
