Etude Op. 10 No. 4 in C# minor by Frederic Chopin

[MusicPredominates]

... a bit on the bwilliant side ...

[kindalynn]

can u please do a tutorial please! i wanted to learn this song for months

[MusicPredominates]

@kindalynn : hello there you can learn this in twelve months ... . (one) play it slowly and always in exact time ... (two) ,,, analyse the arm; wrist; and finger movements - a helpful guide here is the book by J Gat "The Technique of Piano Playing" ... (three) ... spend an equal amount of time analysing the harmonics and general design of the piece ... (four) ... at the same time carefully work at the Moonlight Sonata third movement in a very careful fashion ... (five) ... work at the C sharp ma

[MusicPredominates]

@kindalynn jor prelude and fugue ... book one of Bach ... (six) ... make a comparative study of the three pieces ... (seven) ... always work at 100% CONCENTRATION and always keep your piano currently in tune so that every time you play you play music !!!!

[MusicPredominates]

@MusicPredominates and, concurrently, work on the C sharp minor fantasie-impromptu of Chopin

[LordOfSoldiers]

background noise sounds like rain, sounds suitable

[darkfire7995]

Sounds great! I'm trying to find the hardest piano pieces just so I have something to work toward even though I'm not good enough!

[Inphimous07]

Valiant effort

[mszlmb]

>:-P

[pianonagasaki]

You seem to have very little fingers...

I'm encouraged, because I have very little ones too...

[Bidooshram]

His fingers are not especially long, I agree, but not very short though (certain girl's fingers are a lot shorter). This etude does not require especially long fingers, but a flexible hand, particularly the thumb.

[kmagellan87]

lol his fingers look tiny ONLY because its just just curved and the camera angle is from above. Also, the piano have long keys. Im jealous.

I actually have tiny finger =(

[abetakaya2oofuri]

Yeah, I Mean Chopin also had "velvet fingers" as Sand(Chopin's Lover) told him. :)

[darkangel0413]

um... u don't use the pedal...?

and really.. i agree wit Bouboule52...

show some emotions

[talonboy5431]

actually pedal was added by editors and Chopin's own manuscript cited there was no pedal so i think no pedal sounds nicer ^^

[SkiddyBlade]

Bouboule52 it's hard enough without emotions....

[huatut123]

that's no excuse tho

[Bouboule52]

show some emotions cmon ! :o

[nostromissimo]

Although I think you're on the right track, it just goes to show how disciplined your fingers have to be to play this at its best. I'm pretty sure you know what's wrong with it. You need to get down to the root of what's causing these problems and fix them. 6 months and this is going to be fantastic.

[debussy84]

i think chopin was on crack when he wrote the etudes. They should be level "13" ARTC

[qnz123]

...um..no comment. but for real advise, before playing piano, start to listen more classic music, and also change your attitude. Even you miss notes, I know ! yes of course~, but even you miss 50 %of it, its still not gonna be okay. Try listen and understand more.

[Lapuffnut]

You did a good job, its not like you're playing video game tunes. Awesome performance, shows you have what it takes. I could've used a little more cowbell.. just kidding....

[iivatenn]

I hear: mistakes (loads of them), almost no pedal, little dynamic change and most of all, no emotion at all. You should work on those mistakes by practicing those part at a slower tempo.

[allebuum]

cheating, u skipped notes

[blacktiger444]

I can't tell how many notes u skipped from 1.10 onwards. Im not trying to discourage you, I want you to do your best.

[blacktiger444]

full of cheats, and even then, full of mistakes. practice a bit more before u post.

[presidentlester]

Thank you so very much. This is my favorite piano piece. I am in awe of such wonderful musicianship. I have never watched anyone play this piece. I was fascinated by what I saw. Thank you again!

[prestomoltoagitato]

...good job. very good job

[alfieharries]

very well done!! a few lil mistakes here and there but u obviously have allot of tallent. good performance x

[k3v1nl1]

u suck...

still got a long way to become a pro..

alittle mistakes everywhere

and no rhythems

i dont see any passions from ur playing

[romeomarina]

it's a pity we do not listen the legato as it was written by chopin. Anyway it a a good performance

romeo and luca

[thesloc]

You're on your way! The International Frederic Chopin Competition is calling you..

[Psill10]

my ears are bleeding

[bookguy12000]

it's not that bad, man. i mean... the ending was perfect.

gotta give him that

the ending was pretty good.

one thing is that in the mid. gotta keep on beat ;)

[pkpureatk77511]

i think u  were not stepping on the pedals... u r so friggin good. u can totally kick my butt

[misotoma]

It sounds perfect the way it was played but if you can, just for fun, play it faster O.o it must be seriously hard tho. I cant play the first bar on that etude =[

[radioheadmouth]

Just Amazing, I have no Words.

[simonwong101]

I wanna play this song too

[kevtrey]

good job. i was expecting this to be crap, but it wasn't. I'm working on this and im about at that stage. Still needs to be a bit faster, keep up the good work

[Casseeinamirror]

that is an intense left hand, i will learn that one day thanks for the inspiration.

[FranzLiszt]

Nice, but use more pedal.

[sonofhendrix]

Awesome! very good attempt. I don't know how people can critizie you,, they should provide a link to a video of them playing it better if they think they can.

[pnoiibabiiboii]

awesome job. i love chopin. i used to know how to play his etude in c minor, but it's been a couple of years since i have touched that piece. i am currently learning his polonaise in Ab major. it's fun.

[baboonbutte]

haha~ Wah~ multi-tasking! haha~~ wow~ so fast >_< Hmm.. I must practise piano too =/ But I dont want to cut my nails yet... =(

[xxtuxxx]

being this is my favorite etude of all time... it was ok, but i probably cannot play it better so good job with it.

[sss3d]

Absolutely amazing. You can even watch TV while playing piano (notices remote_

Very very good. I wish to do that.

[legatoryohko]

AWESOMENESSS!!!!!! How long did it take you with this one!?

[parule]

The difficult parts aren't very good.

[virtualetude]

it was fine, its not like he forgot a whole lot of notes or somthing.

[ivrykeys]

haha omg . . . i'll up a video clip of me playing what i know... you'll see how much more i have to move with my stupid darned hands!

kudos to your playing though- its a hard peice!

[entropiastrife]

oh course you still need some work cleaning some of the notes up but have heard it attempted much worse overall a nice job

[mtriplea]

Great jobe, but dude, just looking at your wrists makes me shiver, I don't know how that feels playing, but it looks uncomfortable. They seem to be at 90 degree angles at times. Try sitting back a little with more arm movement.

[grimace753951]

probably adding some pedal can help sounds better.. and tempo seems not steady sometimes.. but it's a very hard piece~~ good job..

[bluezcluuz]

your notes are terribly sticky..

good job learning the piece though

[virtualetude]

never took a look at this etude but it sounds pretty good. How long have you been playing piano?
