@jamesrhodepianist i enjoy ervey music you played. and i saw the "Tattoo Teaser" video, i think ur really different from other pianists. we can understand ur music easier. Dont thank ur listeners, it's us should be greatful. :D

[CrusaderBeach]

Wow! My hand is aching just watching :)

[cdvorpiano]

Exquisite playing! The tone and the musicality are breathtaking! I am so fascinated with your technique and the way you use different physical approaches of weight control for the melodic line to come out so clearly. Thank you so much for sharing this superb experience on youtube! My day is now inspired!

[clavis55]

Cool. And played at Potton Hall!

[MontegoFilms]

I love that you wear hipster glasses.

[leojamesconroy]

the qustion is, can you play a C major scale?!

[donutmuffler]

James, now that you've recorded op.25 no.12 and this left hand etude, (fantastically well, might I add) could you record some of the Godowsky studies? There is a version of op.25 no.12 for left hand ONLY and it would be fantastic to see you play it!!

[jamesrhodepianist]

@donutmuffler with a few litres of red bull and a resilient piano, who knows :)

@jamesrhodepianist James, I would like to personally thank you for making me discover this unbelievable composer. I now encourage you to try Blumenfeld's Opus 25, see if you can manage it with both your hands, if you can capture the emotion. That is a challenge. Thanks again, I feel indebted to you.

[elliek87]

That was jaw-dropping - can't believe it was one-handed, and with no music to read from! Love it :)

[lecochonbleu]

Gorgeous. (Thanks.)

[LordHar]

Thanks for introducing me to great music!

[v6pete]

Super stuff James - you've encouraged me to make a bit more of my own left hand after that ;)

[rgolten]

Thank you James that was achingly beautiful. You deserve a jammy dodger with your tea after that (not to mention the fag break)!
