Is Chopin God?

[mjames]

first 5 pages of his op. 61 polonaise fantasie
almost up to tempo

utterly convinced it is one of the greatest moments in piano
I think to myself: how is it possible to be this creative?
Simple, Chopin is God
And this is his new testament


What do you think?
Personally I think I'm onto something.

[outin]

If he is, then God is dead. Suits me

I would prefer Chopin as God over the God proclaimed by Most Christians like Calvin, Luther or Apostle Paul. But within music, no matter how much I love Chopin and also God Polonaise-fantaisie, I still think there exists even greater music by composers like Bach, Beethoven and Schubert.

Chopin God owsky?

then Scriabin was his second coming.
*nods to op. 28 fantasie.
word.

[klavieronin]

If you're saying that, like God, Chopin is overrated then maybe, but it would be a hard case to argue. There is not much Chopin I don't enjoy but I think God's oeuvre has been tainted by such works as his Malaria Op.97, HIV/AIDS Op.203, Infectious Diarrhea Op.21, Droughts No.1-1000, the Famine cycle, etc…

OVERRATED

[mjames]

overrated my a$$
rachmaninoff would have sacrificed his hands to write something as glorious as Chopin's 2 page mazurkas, let alone the ballades and polonaises.

no seriously man, that's heresy. you'll get sent to hell and be punished with hanon etudes and bach fugues.

[mjames]

He came back to finish what he started:

***Evidence that he at least knew of Rondo a la mazur!
Scriabin certainly knew his Chopin

BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAH

well for my undergrad I did a prelude and fugue every semester and I only did book 1
So I'm already a third of the way done.

And it would be a unique thing to add to a repertoire list

[mjames]

i see i see
I've also been playing a lot more bach lately, but i'm mostly interested in his suites and partitas. Currently polishing partita no. 4 for a recital.

Doggie! 

[Derek]

Um....I'd never heard this piece before. Listening now on youtube. WOW!!! Maybe he really IS Dog


...This actually reminds me a lot of early Scriabin.

[Derek]

If Chopin is God, Scriabin's Opus 42 is the answer to the universe (because 42...)

[visitor]

Derek last two comments , top marks !

[mjames]

I'm telling you, it's the greatest *** piece ive learned (well still learning)
it's like getting an orgasm in each one of your fingers

if you think I'm insufferable now...wait till I learn ballade no.4...but that wont be for another few years... UGH!

[mjames]

IF ONLY I COULD UNDERSTAND THE SOPHISTICATED AND OBSCURE  MISUNDERSTOOD GENIUS OF THE UNDERPLAYED RACHMANINOFF

Hey it's not overplayed if it's actually good

[mjames]

hi my name is sergei, i wrote a cool melody for this piece I'm writing though I'm out of ideas now. Oh I know, I'll repeat the theme in OCTAVES+FFF! Rinse and repeat for 90% of my ouvre. Aren't I a genius?

Actually your melodies aren't even cool...they are either boring or overly sentimental...

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Hi my name is Chopin I like to write 24 pieces with the EXACT same texture throughout the whole piece but different harmony.

Also I learned how to write for orchestra from Paganini.

And I think mjames and I can agree that Outin should be disqualified from any discussion about taste in music.

[mjames]

hi my name is sergei, my own music gave me clinical depression...enough said

OH GOD WHY

[rachmaninoff_forever]

SO??

That just means his music is fire

[mjames]

then why did he keep revising it lolololollol

[rachmaninoff_forever]

then why did he keep revising it lolololollol

Revising what

The first concerto?

[outin]

she is/was a hippie man, she listens to led zeppelin and metal....

That was a few decades ago...I also had a punk band briefly...so not relly a hippie

And why not xenakis? It's like science fiction electronic stuff for piano and orchestra...don't you people like scifi?

[bee1234]

chopin is not god , but there is a humble musician in this youtube, his  net name is bachscholarship, you can listen to his video, he is another bach , hope you love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dogperson]

Sorry Michelle
There are a few here that will equate BachScholar with Bach or God and few that would label him as humble.
