Hamelin's Original '7th Etude' VERY RARE Audio + Sheet Music

[PianoDude1011]

do u remember where u got the MIDI?

[tomekkobialka]

@PianoDude1011 Yes. I got it from my computer as I wrote it. :D

[PianoDude1011]

@tomekkobialka lol i mean can you post the link in the description? i want to play it on synthesia.

[dship98]

Well Hamelin isn't a complete troll! :O

[Zoldi77]

I'm coming back to this video around every week to laugh tomekkobialka's reply again and again. =)

[MEpianist]

Does Hamelin know he's a legend on the internet?

[voxpopful]

Reminds me of the last movement of 2nd Sonata of Chopin.

[sfsphil]

This is obviously not the 7th etude that got published and recorded as part of his 12 Etudes. Perhaps this is one of the pieces that he has referred to as "dreck." Every composer has had pieces that they have abandoned as experiments, etc.

[b3stgl1tch3r]

why rare? i can just download ur vid so its not rare, there it has finished downloading.

[tomekkobialka]

@b3stgl1tch3r The sheet music is rare ;)

[wagneristhebest]

@tomekkobialka no wonder - its so boring I could amuse myself more with a stuffed olive.

[yashamaruism]

'rare' because its impossible to play :/

[rharvs41]

the last mvt of the Bb sonata came straight to mind for me too

[phantomfn8]

the final measure sounds like the end of Chopin's prelude in e flat minor...

[1234nomnomnom]

I agree with the no. 14 prelude, but in my opinion it also sounds like Chopin's 2nd sonata, the final movement, Presto.

[1234nomnomnom]

I agree with the fact that it sounds like the no. 14 prelude, but I also sounds like Chopin's 2nd sonata, the final part, Presto.

[kasyapa]

so it's kinda his take on a certain chopin prelude. :)

[kastlesucksTDOTS]

Someone should do his cadenza to mozart's concerto in c-minor!

[4785689]

chopin prelude no.14?

[kastlesucksTDOTS]

Nice audio, I've wanted to hear this for a while!

[runeweb]

whats with the question mark at the end

[tomekkobialka]

@runeweb Hamelin stole it from your comment.

[runeweb]

@tomekkobialka Lol but seriously what is it about?

[tomekkobialka]

@runeweb Hamelin probably finished this and wasn't sure whether to publish this or not. Or maybe he wasn't sure how to continue with the piece because it's too short relative to his other etudes.

[MrMaxmorphing]

@tomekkobialka actually, is the shape of the whole composition. :) dont you think?

[TheDecadant]

@tomekkobialka hahahaha

[xodn3300]

excellent performance, finale!

[staystilljason]

How'd you get your hands on this?

[tomekkobialka]

@staystilljason I found it scrunched up in a puddle of urine in a dark, narrow alley located in the small district of 'Sheet Music' amist the never-ending web of streets and buildings known as the 'INTERNET'.

In other words, on a third-party website.

[LetTheMusicFlow1]

@tomekkobialka Egads, that's exactly how I found a copy of Hamelin's long discarded "Simple piece for moderate pianists!" Except it was in Amsterdam. Wonder it was doing there......

[phantomfn8]

It is very similar to Chopin's Prelude 14. It is in the same, uses immense amounts of accidentals, same crescendo patterns, and almost exact same ending!

[OrbiliusMagister]

It reminds me Bartok's first etude. Strangely "Russian" sounding, with emphasis in expression and interpretation rather than in sheer technique.

Maybe Hamelin thought it was too easy to include in his etudes XD.

[Jackarooned]

Scary...

[madlovba2]

Hmmm.... a somehow impossible combination of the technique of Alkan's Hands Reunited and the style of Sorabji's OC, creating growly sound. Hamelin was right on excluding this piece from his etudes, but it's good to hear it; thank you!
