  • wow...her hand moves so fast 0_o! and why do people have to critique so much? every one thinks they're such an expert, sometimes it's just nice to sit back and appreciate the hard work someone did to play a really hard piece. you don't always need to find something you think it lacks so you can sound like some musical asshole who thinks they're really clever. because that's what you end up looking like.

  • In my opinion, this performance misses the right emotional "charge". It begins quite sparse, the pianist plays it too subtle. The first chord and the accompanying tones in the left hand of this Chopin's Etude should surprise and overwhelm. Similar for the rest. It lacks strength. The only reason, why the pianist is able to hide the lack of feeling, is the usage of almost whole keyboard, ie. how Chopin wrote it. For me, it sounds like a piece of a love romance, not a piece called "Revolutionary".

  • now i have to go look for microtee1998's comment -_-

  • @anitaownzu Dunno if you found it or anything, but you could click the "see all" to the right of the "All Comments" section. Once you do that, press control+F and type in the name you're searching for. You should find it (if it hasn't been removed or anything).

    If you no longer need this, well...hopefully it'll prove useful in the future. ^^;

  • Boooo

  • her girlfriend will like getting fingered by her :3 xD

  • @janiguri1

    i just had hot fantasies

  • Seriously, Bruce Lee would yield to this girl's hand speed.

  • damn guuurrrl you play awesomely 

  • the fingers of my left hand even get messed up after playing Valse from chopin.... Well I've begged my teacher to teach me how to play this etude.... but after seeing this videos I'm really discouraged. Nothing against Aya, her playing is amaaaaaazing!!!!!

  • I like how, after just hearing GOD LIKE skills, all you hear in the end is like one clap

  • Thats called piano shredding

  • Your playing brought me to tears! Good job!

  • Look at that little finger on left hand.. uhm

  • I couldn't play like that for my life

  • I cou

  • @microtee1998 You're 13 year old, and already a professional; yet you don't know how to write the word ''professional''? You're soooo lying

  • @shenkeey It's sarcasm, dude.

  • @hjklhjklhjkl2008 It wasn't

  • @shenkeey I feel stupid now...

  • @shenkeey Perhaps not a professional speller? Perhaps dyslexic? Perhaps a typo? Soooo many explanations.

  • @TPQ1980 Professional means by definition ''your job/your profession'', the odds that he/she doesn't go to school and already has a job is already slim. And the ''fact'' that he/she is a professional, yet still doesn't know how to write it after 1000s of times (because its his job you know) doesn't look very plausible to me.

  • @microtee1998 lol

  • Respond to this video... Wonder if others will get it.

  • SHE"S BUTCHERING IT!

  • Asian father : now play it backwards!

  • Play that five times fast. lol

    

  • lol one person claps at the end

  • @Dunderhead36 thats because everyone elses jaws are on the floor. 

  • I love to see how the parents of many asian teens love to say what age they were when they played anything, i loled

  • C 'est MOU ! soft ! dès la première note !

  • Comment removed

  • it's actually not a hard piece...you can learn this if you have some patience and learn it SLOW. Chopin was just hittin some arps

    The speed makes everyone shit themselves.

  • How I wished when I was young, my mum will ram my head with a wok when I was not practising hard enough after watching this vid.

  • Fastest sandwich making hands in the east

  • @Matthijs3476 yeah bro they have a big bowl of piano keys in the morning! haha

  • @Lordcraz haha!

  • @Matthijs3476 if u practice 6 hrs/ day for three weeks and a good teacher, you can do it too

  • @kwanhui1990 Lol ....so funny. Show us your talent Kwanhui 1990 !!

  • @bertrandui I did not confess myself to be a great pianist like her, I stopped taking regular lessons since four years ago. However, lately I have been practicing the old songs a few hours everyday due to summer vacation and having nothing to do. If I get a camera, I'd record it and upload it on youtube too!

  • @kwanhui1990 6 hours a day for 3 weeks, but you'd need to already have the skill to play it. So it'd really take you several years to play this.

  • @FroggerbobT but my comment was replied to the person who seemed to already have some piano backgrounds? I've heard of this saying that it takes 10000 hours to master any discipline, 8000 hours to be pretty good, 6000 hours to be merely good and 4000 hours to be a instrument teacher. If one practices in the right way whole-heartedly and single mindedly, one may improve quite quickly in a few years (12 hours*365 days *2 years = 8760 hours!). just something interesting I want to share.

  • Comment removed

  • @FroggerbobT but then one may ask what's the point of mastering a discipline in such a way if it is not one's profession? and there are so many people who can play piano well all in the world. It'd take dedication, a high certainty of direction and love of the discipline for one to do so.

  • Fantastic!!! wonderful playing for a young girl

  • this exempole like the music pass every border chopin is typical polish music thenk you for Japanes people for this do they love polish music great thenk you japanese frend Robert from Poland

  • WOW ~ BRAVO!!!

  • Thanks for sharing

  • Having said that, the only thing I would say would be that the dotted rhythms in the right hand of the opening were a little less dotted than they should have been, but I stand by what I said earlier.

  • What are people TALKING about? 'Too soft', 'too polite'. I think she plays with a lot more raw passion than many pianists I hear play this. It may be her age, but I think her immaturity lends this piece great fire, and I just loved it. I don't go for chicks but her music makes her incredibly sexy.

  • just amazing...wow

  • Aya was 19 years old at this video recording and shows a astonishing good technique and musical talent. She plays some how a bit immature, but will grow with her age. Good luck Aya. You're doing good. Can I follow your future career some how? I would like to.

  • Lo siento he escuchado muchas interpretaciones de Chopin de esta misma canción y la tocas demasiado suave, le falta sentimiento y sobretodo fuerza. No esta mal como tocas pero no pones todo el corazón en ello.

  • Too soft?!? HA! She can't weigh 50 kgs! I don't think the vid does her justice! THAT, my friends, is one KILLER piece of music on every joint, bone, and finger nail from the back to the tip of the fingers! I don't believe Chopin himself played it very much passionately either noting his lack of power. Aya, you have done marvelously on one of the THE toughest pieces in piano literature! I loved the rolled first inversion "G" chord in measure 55! PERFECTLY DONE! :)

  • なかなかの佳演だと思いますが、全体に丁寧に弾きすぎていて、右­手の表情にもう少しダイナミックさがあればなあと感じました。

    It's not so bad, but too polite. I like more expressive performance.

  • spider fingers... amazing!!!

  • crazy!

  • 太慢了

    

  • @bright1995ian its ok! this way it has more feeling (at least to me)

  • Wery Good :))) revelation :)))

  • She's Ninjai

    

  • She is hot

  • @josefkesselring I was going to comment the exact the same thing

  • @josefkesselring her playing is even better

  • @josefkesselring Yep. Chicks first. Piano later.

  • @josefkesselring and the fact she plays piano makes her 10x hotter lol

  • xoxo

  • 180 people dislike her playing piano.

    What a mess... She's great for me :D

  • it's great but she makes it so bad on 2:41...

    Otherwise, it's very well played.

  • is this real?

  • thumb up if you watching this because of eternal sonata :D

  • Quite a decent performance. But I wouldn't say it's very remarkable to play this at the age of 19. I know many pianists who could do the same and some who could do it younger, but that's not the point. Age doesn't matter as long as the performance is good. Far from all gifted children become great pianists. But I enjoyed this performance. Thank you.

  • Born to play all life ;)

  • @boneaoctavian You're a fool. Look harder. Some of the best interpretations of his work are done by asians, such as Valentina Igoshina, Bunin, and Yundi Li. Please read a book or two, because a 19 year old stoner knows more about classical piano than you do, you racist.

  • This is by far my favorite of Chopin's Etudes! I played it when I was 17 but I want to refresh and perform it again now!

  • @kmeje5 I must say I disagree with your choice. I find this etude rather boring. My absolute favourite is no. 24 in c minor, op 25 no. 12. Now that's an awesome etude.

  • lol over 177 jealous people... tisk tisk tisk... people need to learn how to appreciate stuff for what it is and not for what THEY want and or think it to be.

  • In her culture, she gets beat if she makes a mistake. I feel bad, she must be full of bruises after this performance.

  • I WANT HER DRESS!

  • Guys, don't just criticize her! It's HER interpretation, not yours!

    I bet you won't even manage to play even 15 sec of it. This piece is that damn hard.

    Don't believe me? Well then try it yourself, and I bet you won't even manage the intro.

  • @hannahchanxox I don't agree with you, cause I play this song, it's one of my favorites and I am 17... So (f*******) what..?

  • Comment removed

  • Super !

  • If you listen carefully, it seems that the recording is the problem. The problem is the device used to capture this performance.

  • isnt this song full of anger and confusion??? :\ i dunno, but thats what i feel.. the problem is that she play this song too soft.. just like @ImmortalSpecies said.. :D

  • @97edlin can u not hear it to do with the recording?! and how is that anger but too soft ?! they dont appears in the same time, but anyway either way will make people like your comment :) but do make up your mind which side r u going for

  • @weix0206 well, ive listen this song so many times and i know this song have been played in a different way.. so it depends on the pianist.. i have to admit that i cant play this song cause im only a 15 year old kid and only in grade5 but, thats just my opinion.. as long as theres feeling to it, then its fine..

  • @97edlin chopin wrote this after his home country (poland) was attacked by russians (i think)

  • @nathanlolo99 oh ive heard that kind of story bout chopin before.. but im not sure..haha, it seems that i forgot the whole story why he wrote this song..

  • My style is more dynamic.

  • @lauraCJthistle3 That brings up a good point. The emotion behind the piece is definitely vital to ANY piece. With this one, the emotion is hardly audible, while the piece itself will be interpreted differently to each person's opinion. Chopin, having written this piece, is the ony one who knew what the piece really should sound like. But that doesn't mean that we can't try to understand the mindset of the great musician.

  • @WalrusFever Yeah you're definitely right. Everyone interprets music differently. When I'm learning a piece I tend to find myself trying to mimic what emotion the composer was going for when he/she composed it, but that's definitely up to the performer to do or not do.

  • im 13 and just played this peice! tons of fun!

  • She's a very good technical player, but she didn't capture the emotion behind this piece. Chopin composed this étude in reaction to the revolt in Warsaw; it should be played with enough passion to match the emotions behind such a dramatic event. When I play this étude, I don't really play it in a "pretty" way, because that wasn't Chopin's focus when he was composing it.

  • @helliOnurb you are entitled to your opinion as I am to mine

  • Why always include the performers' age, who gives a fuck? (excuse my language) We're not supposed to be interested what's actually being played but rather be impressed by something difficult played at a relatively young age?

  • i bet she gives great handjobs

  • I know it's not, but it looks like her left hand's in fast motion! It's nice..

  • The thirds-sounding chords in the beginning didn't work :/ Too bad. Anyways, this is a difficult and amazing composition so well done!

  • pincues envidiosos ya quisiera ver que tocaran algo asi pinches gringos

    I wanna see ur video answers

  • Comment removed

  • @ToRussian youre so cool

  • @ToRussian and i can spell the word experience. top that.

  • こんなに才能あるのに、なんでCDたくさんリリースしないの?

  • @itsanthonyhere You are entitled to your opinion as I'm entitled to mine. She's a fantastic player, and i don't discredit her skills

  • Watching this piece played--- There are all sorts of two-bit loser punks out there who have nasty things to say. Up theirs. Go away. Get a job....

  • Chinamen don't do to great in music! I mean can you name a single famous classical chinese composer?

  • @kittykatro Can you name me a single famous Western Xiqu composer?

    Do you through your horoscope of bigotry see the incompatibility in this?

  • @kittykatro Tan Dun. Check him out.

  • dobrý

  • muy conocida

  • yo también toco el piano

    y se tocar una obra muy conocida

    

  • yo tambien toco el piano

  • some notes on the left hand are abit blurred and the right hand seems over powered by the left..other than that great job :)

  • she is kinda of sexy

  • @miracletony39

    kinda?

  • One of the best performances of this piece I have seen. The shaping is incredible (especially your left hand swells). Great job.

  • AAAH!! Spider hands!!! :O awesome!! xD

  • crazy left hand!

  • My favorite Chopin piece. :)

  • Los orientales no manifiestan tanto los sentimientos

  • japanese?

  • @vladmire .... u and the 13 othes who thumbed up r either A. crazy or B. extremely jealous, or C. a bit of both. Im guessing C. Mad bc u cant get past the introduction..

  • The second half is much better than the first.

  • shes got a big tits

  • MY hands just caught fire.

  • Die hat mit 40 Gicht in den Fingern ;) Aber nice played!

  • lovely but passionate!!!

  • too much work for the left hand..

    she's so awesomeeeee.

  • It is so so so so emotional, i heard many versions of Etude Revolution and your is great ! Good job !

    Regards from Chopin's homeland.

  • @mangerlentement I am an Asian kid about 11 yrs old, but if you have patience in your child, he or she might do wonderfully. I'm on Sonatas right now, and I went through books fast since my mom had patience in me.

  • I am

  • Vous jouez mieux tous ceux que j'ai entendus.

    Bravo ! Quelle sensibilité, quelle technique.

    La position du corps est parfaite, légèrement en avant. Les coudes sont parfaits, au-dessus des poignets et les doigts arrondis et très agiles.

    Bravo mille fois !!!

  • That's why I shall force my kid to play piano like asians do.

  • Goodness!

  • I think it's too soft. But that's her intepretation.

  • @ImmortalSpecies : Yes, also, (and this isn't a diss or a sexist remark) it's hard for girls to play pieces like these and have the same power as men do. It's just because their arms are anatomically smaller. I think she did a great job.

  • @eellloashlayy Yes, she did a great job! It is amazing that a mortal human being can play such a piece at all and then there are those comments who's writers are absolutely incapable of such a performance but they have to brable something. Disgusting!!! This girl is so precious one can hardly put it into words.

  • @tasteism See, thats the thing. There are literally thousands of pianists out there of this caliber and higher thus making these stunning performances to the untrained ear a regular occurrence especially in countries such as China, Russia and America.

  • @Beanioski I know, and it's true but even then, to me it is still a miracle. You know, it's like with roses, there are millions of them but each single one of them is adorable. The multitude does not diminish the value of the single item. I'm a lousy hobby pianist and I know how hard it is to play the piano. :(

  • @ImmortalSpecies It's original and with feeling.

  • Ach, I wish it sounded like this when I played it. My hands are too small though, I always end up muddling the left hand :/ Well played! 

  • やっぱり何度聴いてもあやさんのこの演奏が一番好き。

    失恋して絶望感に浸ってる時に出会ったこの演奏がどれだけ助けて­くれたことか。

    いつか機会があれば生演奏で聴いてみたい。

  • the funny part is that she made an incredible performance and at the end like 1 person was applauding... and that's it .. :/

    bravoo! :D

    nicely done :)

  • すさまじい・・・すごくお上手です。

    聴いていて感動致しました。これからも頑張ってください。

  • I just can't understand why the fingers of her left hand don't tie themselves in a knot. I thought this was a GREAT performance. WELL DONE

  • Fantastic! BRAVO!!!

  • Amazing. 

  • do you know how hot this makes her?

  • I played this piece and it sounds almost just like this:) there might be a few differences. I still think you sound better than me though

  • Daughter, you are disappoint! -_-

    jk, she's awesome.

  • Such a great performance and almost no clapping! What disrespect!

  • well,,,I can`t do that !!!!

  • OMG.... Unbelievable amazing

  • fenomenaal,subliem

    wat een interpretatie

  • I can't understand how people can give dislikes on such a beautiful interpretation of this piece!!!

  • BTILLIANT!! ^^

  • so perfect ur just wonderful

  • she is sooo sexy!

  • just amazing

  • this is harder than flight of the bumble bee man

  • @hou32hou Of course not! Revolutionary Etude technically requires accurate left hand scales. But Flight of the Bumblebee requires hands play like playing a drum......moving really fast = = I can play the Revolutionary Etude but not Flight of the Bumblebee LOL!!!

  • excellent playing
