CHOPIN: Berceuse (Op. 57) performed by Cory Hall (on his 1929 Steinway Model L)

ABOUT: This video accompanies another video I plan on uploading soon, "The Berceuse: Chopin's Most Bachian Work" in which I will offer some tips on practice, etc. Anyway, on to the point..... I plan on uploading another video soon on understanding the difference between chaconnes and passacaglias, the two "continuous variation" forms in the Baroque. So basically, I have concluded that Chopin's Berceuse is a passacaglia. Chopin originally titled the work "Variations", which was later changed to "Berceuse" probably to sell more copies. The greatest example of a passacaglia is Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue, in which the passacaglia has a majestic and not-fast tempo of 63 bpm. Bach would have played his organ passacaglia at 63 bpm with one tempo all the way through and would have not changed tempos for each variation. Hence, I have adopted this approach here. I play Chopin's Berceuse from beginning to end with no rubato and at a steady speed of 63 bpm. I know this is not how it is traditionally performed, but this is how Bach probably would have done it.
