Chopin Etudes Op. 10, No. 10 and No. 4

[jjihciuy]

おおおお～驚いた

[AKP2You]

a very good musical performance, specially liked No. 4 -- excellent accentuation, very imaginative and interesting to listen. quite a few professional concert pianists could for sure take some inspiration there, technique could be a bit further perfected of course but that will come naturally. far more important is the musical side, real promising.

[Kaggypants]

How beautiful! Your technique is both playful and technical! I love it. Keep up the good work.

[TheLovelyPiano]

marvelous!

[icxcrex]

Excellent work! Thank you for not pretending Chopin didn't have any musical ability when he composed this. He truly disliked when people played his music too fast. It is MUSIC (the "study" part comes at the artist's expense not ours). Again, great work - I'll see you on stage again to be sure!

[nenasexy888]

WOW!

[horekar]

awesome xD

[fuchion15]

he plays wonderfully! if only he started 10-4 a little bit slower, then he would have a consistent tempo throughout. he tends to slow down a little where there are wider range of notes, and then goes berserk when the scales came back. nonetheless, an excellent musician.

[Ryogakun666]

i don't really understand it :P

but i guess he's doing good huh?

Must have been hard years full of training to come so far

[laglag305]

@Ryogakun666 if you don't understand it, why on earth are you commenting on it? Why are you watching it anyway?

[aiuhepdos]

wow. perfect rubato... very good tone and phrasing, great job!!!

[fdh1004]

So musical at such a young age. Good luck and have fun.

[Melorama2000]

Good job - keep it up!!

[fookeanwen]

good !

[Kandkodos2]

This person called Andrew looks exactly like a person at my school called Andrew! =D But.. my friend Andrew is doing Grade 8.

[rambo0036]

LOL

[Shadow1606]

LoL?

[pinkfuzz0609]

i would be more impressed if he did this without ever having recieved instruction from a teacher.

[Grigor99]

At least the kid is musical! Bravo

[joshuayong38]

No offence but your op.10 no.4 was a little sloppy. I expected more flare and aggressiveness in that piece. However, it's an extremely difficult piece and you've done very well to reach this stage. Keep it up! I love your op.10 no.10 ^^

[jtg2525]

hey Joshua yong, how old is this kid? I think your criticism is unrealistic

[Tuekie4560]

Constructive criticism will help this kid get even better - it's completely necessary. If he plays and wants to continue to play like a professional then he should be treated like a professional.

[Grigor99]

@Tuekie4560 I agree completely! I am sick of these ridiculous sycophants who can't stand when obviously knowledgeable professionals give some constructive criticism and just say the same stupid thing "Let's see you do it better" Come on! How old are we really??? This young man is obviously quite talented, but if he wants to be taken seriously, then he has to be able to accept some serious criticism along with some positive comments as well.

[howdilydoodily]

Actually, this young pianist plays #4 quite clean. The hall is clearly very wet and he may use too much pedal at parts, combined with an extremely bright piano, but he pulled it off very well. I felt #4 was the better of the two.

[Musiclover0923]

Your playing is just perfect!I watched your performance accidently~:) you have the good technique and great talent~You are rally a gift of music~My name is Jessica~You can search below this name!or...Chin shan Chang!~~~nice to meet you~keep the good work!~Greeting for you~~~Jessica~~~

[stefic90]

cool!!!

[mauronastagi]

oh lord!! he is amazing...

[Hirottoq]

that is very nice!

[whoops567]

great job. wait a sec. how old is he?

[anohana]

I really like the smoothness in 10-10. 10-4 is difficult, and sounds difficult accordingly. However, 10-10 sounds so harmless, yet it requires lots of work to make it sounds nice and smooth.

[f2781]

This artist has a great musical sense.

[badfan3]

Well Done!! Great job, keep up the great work. I hope to hear the entire op. 10 and 25 set from you in the future. Great control and dexterity for such a young pianist. You have a great career ahead of you.

[pianosfun]

lol, how old are you 13? im thirteen and ill learn an easy etude this summer08(10/12)

[ADECEFilms]

Did you seriously just say that Chopin's Etude Op. 10-12 was EASY? I hope you're not talking about that. Because I'm almost 14 and I've almost mastered that song. It is REALLY Hard.

[rrreinholtz]

It's easy compared to the ones he played. I know it's hard, but not as hard as those.

[pianomatteo]

agreed, opus 10 no. 4 i consider one of the most difficult for a few different reasons.

[JakWho92]

played any of op.25?they are much harder (my opinion)

[Haydenbrooks83]

I think so too.

[akoreangirl]

WOW. impressive! you look really young too!

[xxh3llfir3xx]

yeah right. you'd have to be yundi li to do that. in fact, yundi li could probably perfect his pieces in as little as 1 month. Most likely. Well, i believe that what you're saying is bullshit, but try learning scherzo no. 2 by Chopin and perfect it in 3 months. didn't think so.

[bachopinberg]

I'm a not so good professional piano player and I lernt the second scherzo in about a week. You kids will never believe what an adult average piano player can do as normal matter of job. Art is another thing..

[xxh3llfir3xx]

yeah but we don't spend 12 hours on the piano all day like you do. i practice probably 2 hours a day at most, so its not like you can say that i don't know what i'm talking about.

[eljako090]

try islamey by balakirev

[xxh3llfir3xx]

yeah right. you'd have to be yundi li to do that. in fact, yundi li could probably perfect his pieces in as little as 1 month. Most likely. Well, i believe that what you're saying is bullshit, but try learning scherzo no. 2 by Chopin and perfect it in 3 months. didn't think so.

[TheCrazyHairPianist]

LOL @ U. Actually, it's always good to attempt the impossible because you'll never know. But at this time, all I can do is laugh. Learn Liszt's Totentanz in a month.

[PJmusicFan]

Hey what up? I heard that you go to MIC. I saw you there before about half a year ago. You're even much better than me. What piece are you trying to learn right now? Now I'm learining how to play Moonlight Sonata (3rd Mvt.) Sorry to say that I haven't got any of my videos uploaded because I just joined this YouTube. Keep playing! You'll have a great future. See ya, man!

[cordeiropascoal]

another machine player

[K189T]

maybe, but he's young.

[RandomCoke]

then you should post a video response to teach him how to do it properly :)

[MartMart]

RandomCoke: I agree. So many critics but very few show what they can do and those who do are usually not to the standard of those they criticise. I sometimes get the feeling people just listen to this stuff just for the sake of criticising. Its as though they are deliberately looking for faults instead of just sitting back and enjoying the music. Its annoying.

[macma192837465]

Of course you should point out the strong points of the performance as well as the weak, and critique in a way that is helpful but in the music world, we often have to critique those who are better then us. One who criticizes does not have to be better then the one being criticized.

Catch my drift?

[hippitybippitybop]

Another so called "CHILD PRODIGY". When I was 14 years old I played the Kabelvsky Piano Concerto #3 without an orchestra and was awarded Honorable Mention. Try playing a piano concerto without the orchestra or even another piano to play the orchestral part. This child is a robot player-no emotion!

[MJGriftz]

Why would you play it in the first place with no orchestra or accompaniment?

[hippitybippitybop]

A simple question with a simple answer-none were available! If I had the orchestra or accompaniment I would have been given 1st place. I was only 14 and was asked to play it so I did! I would not even think of refusing to play-the thought never entered my mind!!

[kINGoFpIANO]

Where has the music gone?

[AtrixAlpha]

head...moving...piano...-dies-­

[lovesGenet]

oh dear . recorded sound doesnt ruin how well he follows his idea of the music in a flat .c# was darn good too. who is deszes little people s from da isles of Manchu ..so young play dese tings mon. wuz going on ...poopoo

[dommedomi]

[heroicpolonaise]

[kitche254]

OH MY GOD!! He looks like my friend. Don't worry, you're amazing!! :)

[AChrisL]

Awesome.

[cutza7]

[Orpheo111]

[pixelsage]

Noooo he's too young and talented!!

*goes in a corner and cries*

[biegel88]

Nice LH voicing at 3:24. Good job from this young man!

[nostromissimo]

Wow, I hope he's older than he looks! Pretty good stuff.

[tts0mn0bl0luvluv]

awsome!

[oooitsfrank]

HOW OLD IS THIS BOY?

[reggieschuey]

wow such talent at such a young age . wonder what he will be when he grows up .. is this really his passion.. the teens are often the hardest years ..

[TocoLaPiano]

Teens are the hardest years. Wheh.

[meteoriasiow]

Wow AMAZING!!!! TALENTED!!! how old is he anyways?He did a really great job!!! Bravo!!

[knowmename]

Hey anyone got this piece...it seems wonderful to kill my time playing this song while waiting for my exam results...

[Liszt1886]

Epouvantable! Il n'ira nulle part, s'il continue à jouer ainsi.

[foodxisxgood]

hm, i think i might want to play this etude. It seems like an interesting challenge.

[jleung92]

sry, is one of my***

[jleung92]

op 10 no 4 is my one of my most favorite etudes!

[RussakMC]

rly gr8 ;) .... plz check my vids and comment ;)

[arvalentin]

HEY! was this recorded at the manhattan school of music?

[Liszt1886]

Il joue sans intelligence; aussi il n'ira nulle part.

[Contrappunto]

Je ne suis pas d'accord. Il est evident que ce jeune possede le bon sens de la ligne musicale en depit de l'enregistrement affreux. Je voudrais bien ecouter encore la meme musique dans les conditions plus favorables.

[ninjatreeko35]

my piano teacher told me to watch u b/c she said to look at your movements b/c she says i dont move when i play piano.when did u start??? o and it sounds okay b/c i cant really get the melody...

[slyther2222]

i bet all you dudes know nothing about chopin. and by the way.....it's spelt as "chop-an". i've been playing chopin since i was 11 =P good luck guys..

[edmoore]

And now you're 11 and two months?

[bzzzt029]

u mean its pronounced as "chopan"

[dimmy1985]

on ya kiddo!

[Havenscope]

Op. 10, nr. 10 is one of my favorites, and he did an extraordinary job of interpretation, but please, please, please, tell him to watch his fingers! One of his only problems that I can see if that his fingers generally slip off of the keyboard! He has absolutely mindblowing talent, and I respect him more than almost any pianist I have heard perform on youtube.

[111alexander111]

Very good - keep it up!

[farah73]

you should thank God every day for your talent. God bless you, you're amazing.

[gfz87]

No, he shouldn't... What he should thank is his parents that support him so he can practise several hours a day. Also to him self for accomplish such a task as playing a Chopin Etude. Congratulations Andrew, keep it up

[farah73]

well, you know what i meant. of course without his dedication and his partnt's support (assuming he has parents) he wouldn't have accoplished anything. but the talent is purly from God. iteach piano and some students no matter how many years they learn, they just can't play, while others excell.

[afertyus1000]

yeah of course,mind/body co-ordination,all anatomics and a bit of hard work,not GENIUS????????

[pianogirl98]

Andrew, you are amazing!

[KillerTongs]

andrew has extraordinary talent. has he ever composed music? or does he just like being a concert pianist

[thomj]

just a concert pianist... haha...
