He took too many liberties with the rhythms, there are several points where they are not played as they're written. I also think that the middle section could've been played slower, it should have a completely different, more emotional character than the mechanical beginning.

Hi everyone :) if you could, could you please check out my new song? it is alot like this and i hope to get some recognition:) I am only 15 but i hope to get out there! it would really be appreciated to get this noticed, thank you!
Great skill! So much better than I could ever play it - and I do, badly.I thought it was a tad fast though and you could use more expression. Overall, fantastic.
Yea totally agree with you on that, sure his a very command of the piano, but i couldnt help noticing how people changes the tempo to accomodate their playing instead of the other way around. This type of interpretation might suit the baroque toccatas more
@artyzach In the andante part of it where he played all those wierd chords and 2:3 polyrhythms is where it is rubato and supposed to be different. His dynamics could've been better in places where it should count.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
kinda gay at the end there. you look like a douche when you do that stuff. and he's playing some sections a little too drawn together. You can believe me on this cuz I'm one to know. I played this back about 3 years ago after a long 10 years of prior practice. this song was a beast, but, in modesty, i played this much better than that.
It's always better to let the other say that you play better than someone! And it's not encouraging what you say. A comment like yours, in my opinion is to be cancelled, as absolutely out of the context!
I played Toccata 2 years ago.. I love this composition. It's very hard to learn how to play it, but when you learn, you're the happiest person in the world :D
@lovetohate12 Yeah, and might wear out the action a bit... :-) Especially after you've been playing it for like 6 months cause it's your favourite piece ;-D
@looney1023: My point was that he isn't playing the correct notes. He plays wrong notes, harmonies and chords in WAY too many places, because I suspect he has misread them
AWESOME playing! I loved this piece...but only got as far as about 2:40. I love the way you play it though...especially how you don't control the way to feel about it, such as the ending.
Great playing, beautiful section after the 2:40 mark...
very well done I am learning this for a piano competition and still struggle with the part from bottom of page eight to the top of page nine and i absolutely love how you play that part
Oh mon dieu, tant de fautes, et JAMAIS on ne doit se reprendre en public.... Could you respect the sheet music please ? many, too many mistakes...!!!!!!!! Sorry but event if the seven first seconds were great, i don't like it at all !
I love how you have brought out the melody and accented certain notes - it has a tune that I never heard when I was playing it. You also play quietly where I interpreted it to be loud. It's nice! Thank you.
he played his best 5 years ago, at 14 years old, and he is better than this child, i am Armenian, thats why i am speaking english not yet, and i now about aram khachaturyan more than you can imagine!
As an amateur pianist, I, too, am well aware of the pitfalls of becoming too mechanical and losing insight to a piece after practicing it for a long time. But, that's part of the rigors and challenges of practicing any piece -- to keep it fresh always. Even while practicing, pretend that you're already performing it in front of people (but maintain all the appropriate practicing rituals and techniques).
What a delightful "blast from the past" - still one of my fave solo pieces!
I think it would be worthwhile to try playing the outer sections in just ONE tempo - a medium tempo. Also to do this for the middle section. This isn't necessarily for performance, but to gain an expanded perspective of the way the piece builds inner momentum without necessarily altering tempo for each sub-section. Try it and see!
@Lancerbody2012 i dont really think i like it...its gonna be my last year studying piano for the past 9 years, and i agree its reallly hard, not to mention its like 12 pages. oh, and im not even 14 yet. :P
@95hamsterlover "get a life, dumbass" ? so you assume that i have no life and that im dumb, because i corrected you on how many pages a piece has? *clap clap clap* fyi i DO have a life (i go out to wherever every weekend) and im in advanced biology, advanced literature and composition, advanced algebra 2, etc. try not to falsely assume things.
@TheAznmofo Why are you fighting over the number of pages? There are different editions to this piece, one might have 12 pages, the other might have 13. Just watch the performance.
@daniele90ish ..i think your comment says more about you than the repected and succesful composer ..aram khatchaturian..but ignorance has its own strange charm
I just started working on this piece. This is incredible. I love this guys style. He has in his mind what he interprets Katchachurian wanting this to be and he delivers it.
OMG! I used to play this piece when I was 16! I am 65 now! Damn! Would love to play it again! Loved your interpretation. If you're in shape, this piece is a lot easier than it sounds. Beautiful, sir. You show how it's done! Loved it!
I've never joined a post with fellow pianists. I have played some very simple little songs from this composer for many years, and never knew he wrote anything else. I would like to obtain the music and try it. It's nice that you support one another. I don't have any and have played my entire life.
why isn't there one single satisfying video of someone playing this toccata on youtube?
The toccata isn't that difficult to play indeed! All the chords and phrasing are very suitable for anyone's hand... You just need a good ryhtmic sense and emphasis

@wevil770 You're so right about this! Take a few steps back, as many as you need, let it "sink in," and approach once again! Then, let it friggin' RIP! Have you ever noticed that killer musicians go way past their technique? That's what technique is for, I think. Ya gotta get it before you can "let it go." Love, from a fellow musician.
@wevil770 how can you denigrate this interpretation whith the only argument that he didn't put any emotion.. If you can't put emotion after 12 months of works it's probably that you doesn't like piano. the more you work, the more you know your piece and the more you'll be able to put emotion. Every musician say normally that to play a piece you have to work. So your remark is totally abberant for a person who isn't a critic in music. I regret that I don't master english to say everything i think
I do find the tempo changes a bit too drastic, but not bad at all! I just found a new version of this piece on youtube, possibly my favourite that I found on here, search for - Khachaturian - Toccata (Paul Israel)
i know this has nothing to do with your performance which was quite good . . . . but what the hell are you wearing dude . . . . .you're very kALEIDOSCOPIC LOL =] =] =] I prefer kahn's version . . . .sorry
At the beginning of the piece I look ak him in astonishment by the precocious change of tempo and the speed, but flowing the performance I like it and I appreciate his interpretation. Metronome uses to study and to stimulate something new; ok 120, but he doesn't distort till the point of a misinterpretation of K. intentions & agoge. For me only a pity for that Db acciaccato of the right hand towards the end and a corona to much hasty in the closing chord of last bar.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wtf is with all the tempo changes, ur supposed to stick to one tempo init, i was learning this and then gave up on the middle section, its a nice piece but i preferr more romantic composers like chopin or rachmaninoff :)
He took too many liberties with the rhythms, there are several points where they are not played as they're written.

At the beginning of the piece I look ak him in astonishment by the precocious change of tempo and the speed, but flowing the performance I like it and I appreciate his interpretation. Metronome uses to study and to stimulate something new; ok 120, but he doesn't distort till the point of a misinterpretation of K. intentions & agoge. For me only a pity for that Db acciaccato of the right hand towards the end and a corona to much hasty in the closing chord of last bar.

wtf is with all the tempo changes, ur supposed to stick to one tempo init, i was learning this and then gave up on the middle section, its a nice piece but i preferr more romantic composers like chopin or rachmaninoff :)
