Frédéric Chopin: Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23 (1835)

A live performance (with hands as the focal point) of a friend and pianist from Italy playing this masterpiece, followed by an analysis explaining what makes certain parts of this piece stand out from other repertoire. I enjoy this fluidity of being able to talk about music that one performs, to help other people hear what’s going on and find their way in.
