[part 4] Berezovsky Chopin Etude Op10/5 + Godowsky versions

[gsarci2011]

a lot of coughs...

[Csibon13]

1:14 that transition is fucking beautiful

[belialah]

jajajaj sin pedal

[yysshhyy1]

Miraculous gold fingers looking like wearing gloves!

[parule]

Peanuts for him T_T

[danedaworld]

i personally dislike this interpretation of his no 5. you can tell (for those who have played it) that he has trouble playing 1:04 - 1:10, he rushed too much in the beginning.

[KennYWooD2]

If he has technical trouble then that has nothing to do with interpretation does it? To say that he rushed would mean his tempo wasn't kept even, which it was, for the entire work up to the 6 second interval you pointed out.

[MrGrigor99]

@danedaworld He plays this etude that way in all his verions - slowing down slightly at that point. The original etude is a cinch for him in reality.

[burobbi]

he has no problems with 1'04 to 1'10 thank you very much. it's just an interpretation.

[smMastropiero]

Dear danedaworld, you, my friend, have raised the stupid-comment bar to a really, really new level. Bravo!!!!!!

[tombennettpiano]

@danedaworld you must be kidding. For real?

[jasonextreme]

Funny how everyone is concentrating on holding on to their coughs, until the end.

[KennYWooD2]

And they should.  How people cannot go without coughing during a performance is beyond me.

[jasonextreme]

Easy, take Ricola.

[mystikaldreamer]

where was this performance?

[8585506]

why yes...yes it is....good chopin knowledge!!!

[8585506]

it's really cool how godowski intermixed a little of chopin's op 25 no 9!!!!!

[rachm06]

non capisco perchè varia solo le dinamiche della mano sinistra lasciando invariate quelle della destra all'inizio...in questo modo la destra copre parte de tema...

[addeex1]

At 3:42 isn´t that a little mix of the butterfly etude?^^

[mystikaldreamer]

its called badinage. Nice repertoire.

[elrondsch]

does anyone know: did anyone else play a concert like that? all chopin etudes+ all godowsky?

[lottoformulier]

He has written 53 variations on the studies of Chopin. Only 3 times recorded all 53 by Geoffrey Douglas Madge, Carlo Grante and Marc-André Hamelin.

[elrondsch]

thanks!!! i didnt know that)

[FredilYupigo]

The original is played first. The Godowsky variations are played after.

[mytchilla]

This is Texas chainsaw masacre :))

Impossible!

[dezxdestruction]

its kinda what your supposed to do to play fast in piano.... im just a beginner so hands really Suk at this =P

But i cant tell you how important it is to do this concept. Less tension, and less energy used for later... ITs just a good thing to do.

[catianalini]

he plays it like he's playing with the study! it's so funny!!

i like it more than his version when he was younger. it's not so fast and has much more expression

[koffmaninoff]

how come it's impossible to match the control picture on da speed demon register page... I tried 22 times... what the fcuk do you want... blood???

[theCadencia]

joe que maquina er tio, yo toco el estudio 5 en 1:53 y él en 1:34 y sin despeinarse

[Bachrules]

Human hands are truley the God's greatest creation.. Jeez... Not mine though OTL

[Bruce88keys]

Remarable

[IAMLISZT]

Ooo well done mr berezovsky

[terryregnar]

awesome , this is live k-nar recorded... respec from grim

[Niekdiehard]

I think he is shaking his hands because his wrists hurt after hours of playing. I restrict my training hours due to RSI.

[Pianobyme]

After he plays the Godowsky what is it that he plays? It sounds like a combination of the black-key and the opus 25 no 10? not sure about that, just going from memory.

[mstalcup]

Actually Godowsky combines opus 25 no 9 (the Butterfly Etude) with opus 10 no 5.

[lovesGenet]

Yes all three unbeleivable.He has some playful charm here not normally aparrent.hamelin is always elegant .Libeta too has fin de siecle charm.B. roughshod forced approach seems misplaced and TOO effortful.One thing late century art should not have.Bolet and Cherkassky are my choices with H.and Libetta.

[Archangeld]

Really well said =)

[shilloshillos]

Remarkable, fantastic. Comparable to Hamelin for sure.

[Ebubu69]

I would say remarquable for sure. But certainly NOT up to Hamelin standard. Listen again how Hamelin always keeps the melody flowing even in the most terrifyingly difficult passages. Berezovsky sounds brilliant, but there's always a certain dryness to his playing, as opposed to the velvet of Hamelin's playing.

[SecaMartin]

Maybe because he plays it much faster (I think a bit too fast) and nearly without sostenuto pedal?
