\u201cI’ve felt this connection with Chopin ever since I was very little \u2013 it came as a primordial call.\u00a0<\/h5>

When I first started playing Chopin\u2019s<\/span> Ballade No. 3 in my teens, it was a very difficult work for me – there were many challenging technical details of dynamics, pedal, voicing, and touch to overcome. In time after studying all four ballades and many other piano works, you come to terms with Chopin’s language and style. And then you start to understand what he meant in a particular part of the third <\/span>ballade and you go back and revisit everything with new knowledge. Once I reached a point where the technique was not such a big challenge and I could go beyond the stress of playing the notes, it was very helpful to read the four poems by Adam Mickiewicz. The poems were not a direct influence, because Chopin was a purist, he would not understand or agree with any external connection between the music and other things. His music is never descriptive [of] a poem or a landscape. In fact he doesn\u2019t have names for his compositions, they\u2019re scherzos, ballades, etudes, sonatas \u2013 there are no descriptions. But I couldn\u2019t help seeing the deep impression he received, particularly for the third ballade, from the poem about Ondine, who is the goddess of water. Throughout the piece there’s the feeling of being under a spell of a nymph who has an agenda towards the shepherd \u2013 she wants him to get into the water and get lost in the water so she can possess his soul. It\u2019s just so obvious to me that there is a story behind this piece even though it\u2019s not declared, it\u2019s not named so when I play it, it goes in front of my eyes like a movie, it has a narrative, it has a story to tell. That\u2019s what I love about this piece.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The third ballade has a particular way of describing an inner state of being completely fascinated, almost under the spell of something bigger than you, almost paranormal \u2013 when you\u2019re drawn into something, a call you can\u2019t resist \u2013 and this piece has that call in the main theme. It\u2019s like something is calling him irresistibly. It\u2019s so human, it is such a description of the human journey, and part of the human journey is to be magnetized by things that we can\u2019t understand. We get so wrapped up and completely involved to the point of being completely lost \u2013 it’s a feeling between wonderful and terrifying, and I think this piece conveys all these feelings. That\u2019s why it is so compelling to me.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
