In this 3-minute piano performance, a young musician from Bard College Conservatory of Music performs Etude Op.25, No.10 in B minor, a solo piece written by Frédéric Chopin in 1835. Domantas Karalius plays the song effortlessly, creating an energy that builds throughout and rewards the audience with a satisfying and excellent close.
Coming down from the rough last 2 years, it brings a smile to my face knowing that people continued to hone their craft and are able to provide this type of uplifting entertainment. After watching this video, I find it comforting to see younger people embracing pieces of music from a few hundred years ago. We live in an age where everything seems to move so fast and nothing is for certain, but beauty can be created at any point in time and it’s cool to see people breathe new life into old art.
I’d give this video 3 out of 5 stars. I would’ve liked to have had the audio recorded a bit better. If performance is the focal point, make it sound as great as you can.
