What kind of music do you like?

I love classical music, and I've been playing the piano for 24 years.
Right now, The International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition is being held in Warsaw, the capital of Poland.
The participants play only piano pieces by Chopin, the great composer from Poland.
The competition is broadcast on YouTube, so I'm enjoying watching it.

1. Form the continuous tense here. The continuous tense shows an action that is, was, or will be in progress at a certain time. The continuous tense is formed with the verb 'be' + -ing form of the main verb.
Oh, I see. That sounds very nice indeed! Is Chopin your favorite composer? Have you ever been to a concert?

Chopin is known as the poet of the piano, and his works are characterized by their beautiful melodies. He is my favorite composer.
I have listened to his works at concerts several times, and I also went to a concert by the pianist who won third place in the previous Chopin Competition.

1. Here is an alternative expression. "featuring".
That must have been a wonderful experience! Hearing a prize-winning pianist perform Chopin live must have been moving. Do you have a favorite piece by Chopin that you enjoy playing or listening to the most?

I've played several of my favorite pieces by Chopin, but my most favorite one is his Piano Concerto No. 2. Since it requires performing with an orchestra, it's difficult for me to play it myself. The prizewinner of the Chopin Competition performed it, and I was deeply moved.

1. Eliminate redundancy by removing this part of the sentence.
2. "Myself" emphasizes that you are the one doing something, while "by myself" emphasizes that you are doing it alone, without help from others.
That’s such a beautiful choice. The second concerto has such lyrical and emotional depth, especially in the slow movement. Have you ever dreamed of performing it with an orchestra someday?

I'm happy that you understand me.
For someone like me who only plays the piano as a hobby, performing with an orchestra might be too much to ask.
There's an arranged solo version available, and I'd like to play it.

1. Here is an alternative expression. "pastime".
That sounds like a wonderful idea. The solo arrangement would let you experience the beauty of the concerto in a more personal way. I imagine it would still capture that same emotional power. Do you usually practice Chopin pieces often, or do you like to explore works by other composers too?

I usually practice pieces with melodies that I like. I often play Chopin's works, but I also practice pieces by other composers if their music touches my heart.
