@choisauce12345 me too :) i am aiming to memorise the piece in about 3 or 4 weeks and then literally start at 30bpm and try and get faster and faster over the coming months
For me, this interpretation lacks the passion that it COULD have..she is obviously very talented and has amazing technique, but I would not go as far to say that this is the best interpretation out there....
@ancientsolar I don't know what her span is, but your question raises an important technical issue when playing this etude. You might think a large hand is an advantage in this piece, but the temptation if you have a big hand is to fix it in an open position for each chord - exactly the wrong thing to do. The only way you can play this with the beautiful legato that is called for is to do what VL does so beautifully here, opening and closing the hand in a relaxed and flexible way.
@gtimny I agree, when learning this I very quickly realised that I should not be flexing my hands at all really, the trick was in having a constant arm movement and a relaxed fingering.
Very good performance, although accents could've used more. Phrases could have been more defined. Dynamics could have been smoother. Very nice performance. I thought from one pianist to another, you would want to hear your audience's criticism.
@phillyb702 a lot of the stories about liszts interpretation of chopins etudes especially are just grand legends but even Chopin himself is qouted as saying in his memoirs that if there was anyone who could play the etudes the way he heard them it would be Liszt. I assume that's why he dedicated a set to him. But the Liszt /chopin interpretation legends are just fun speculation and stories for the most part
@trp8155 Probably not, actually I heard that he had trouble with Chopin's etudes. A lot of these stories about liszt are fairy tales (especially the one where he was said to have made girls swoon =).)
I just posted my interpretation of Nocturne opus 9 ,No.2. I would appreciate your comments. Please click on my link 'alfonsopablo' next to this comment to listen.
@metoriteon Even chuck norris failed at this point =D
She's amazing but even she sometimes hit the wrong note (isn't important at all but if you really wanne see her doing a mistake you can listen to her playing Tschaikovsky Piano concert /watch?v=u62s3BYpOfk&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLA8E0E604091F55CF at 55 seconds.. there is one ;) )
her modulation is so refined, so sensual and supple, yet she's so strict and exact. you just know she'd give a great handjob: soft and responsive, yet vigorous just when you need it at the end, without cranking it too wildly and for too long at the crucial moment.
I have never seen anyone perform this etude so well. The clarity is flawless. The expression is amazing. The tone is hands-down perfect! I wish that society would appreciation music more than they do today because it is so important to our lives. Music is one of the ways in which we say, "I am alive and my life has meaning."
My piano teacher asked me last week to start learning this, referring to it as "oh it's just an arpeggio study". I had never heard it before, and after starting to learn it this week, I can barely feel my fingers. And that's playing at quaver = 40! FML
Well, there's nothing intrinsically negative about swearing relative to other derogative terms. The use of profanity doesn't mark one's vocabulary as limited in as much as the preference of one synonym over another does. It's perceived to be crass, but substituting crassitude for stupidity is incredibly arrogant and you should be ashamed, especially considering the manner in which your elitism manifested itself.
@Manonymouse does it matter though? it's her own channel and all she did was kick him off (she has every bit of right to anyways). she did not substitute crass for stupidity, i'm certain there are nicer and less intelligent people out there than the person that was kicked out. history's smartest man with an iq of 255 went to jail. intelligence has nothing to do with good decision making at all. i'm certain, many of those people you see that throws insults and hurt others are too smart.
I'm going to learn this but I saw on Wikipedia that Chopin said to his pupil about the piece: "Unfortunately, instead of teaching, it frequently un-teaches everything". Can anyone give me some advice on how to play this piece properly?
What a relationship that must have been! Considering Franz Liszt used to sleep under his piano, I can understand why he was the only one to have been able to sight read it......because he dreamt it the night before!
It's funny because the piano she's using was Liszt favorite one; a Bösendörfer, which is very robust and require strong hits. However Chopin liked "light" ones which don't require strong hits...
Well, i really appreciate listening this score, to my heart it is the moste beautiful "etude" , i am not as skilled as a person who studied piano for years sincei play for my pleasure. i learnt and played by heart the revolutionary study of CHOPIN which is the easiest score to play since based on the same idea up and down for right hand. Well, i am not a fulfilled player i don't even name me an artist but i am proud of what i can play because i tell you all it is pleasure only. See you all.
@Matchu80 It is in C major but the piece does a lot of model borrowing so you will see a lot of accidentals. This etude is actually based on Bach's Prelude in C Major from the first book of well tempered so if you want to look at a basic reduction of this piece that would be good to look at because Chopin pretty much stayed with the same progression.
meh lol C major, easy key. Actually, you'd be surprised how quickly you catch on to all these songs. Keep practicing and you"ll get it. Especially C major songs
@KORNMUSIKde oh whatever loser. i play it on piano! i don't really care. i've studied piano 11 years i don't need some random telling me chopin doesn't write songs. songs are music and they're supposed to set you free. stop being so uptight! I have a million more times more respect for chopin than you so don't try and give me attitude! grow up.
@jhamblin23 The Beatles wrote "songs", David Hasslehoff wrote "songs". And a lot of the people here at youtube use the term "song" for every classical piece. This laziness results in an ignorant randomnes. It is not that difficult to call this by it's name or leastwise as a piece. The term "song" in connection with such a masterpiece sound cheap.
@KORNMUSIKde lmao i'll be mature about this. im done i don't care what you say cause you don't know me. you're obviously a guy lmao holy fuck all of you are stupid aren't you. sorry im not writing formally on youtube.!! ahaha grow up and chill the fuck out. I don't really care anyways. its a song. its' music therefore its a song. look it up in the dictionary im sure it doesnt mention the beatles. im no ignorant to 'masterpieces' but i've been playing them the last 7 years of my life. thanks bud
@jhamblin23 I'm going to jump in on this because you obviously don't know what you are talking about. Here are a couple definitions of a song from the dictionary.
1.A short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be sung 2.Singing or vocal music. Not all music are songs, songs are specifically made for voice or to imitate the style of the voice. A piece is a written, musical, or artistic creation or composition. Playing music doesn't mean you are right about musical terms.
@masterorionful Please take the stick out of your arse. People refer to pieces of music as 'songs' - just because the dictionary says that it's one thing doesn't mean that people can't use it as another. For example, you say 'here are a couple of definitions' - which is wrong by technical standards, but you use it and people comprehend you. To coin your phrase - speaking English doesn't mean you're right about English terms. Stick to your day job.
@masterorionful Sorry, I didn't read correctly last time - 'here are a couple of definitions', I thought you said something different. Nonetheless, I still stand by what I said last time: speaking English doesn't mean you are right about English terms. Anyway, as I was saying, the term 'song' is often informally applied to all types of music - it's just one of those things.
@OnlyOnWensdays wow. thanks for discriminating people with down syndrome u dumb bitch. ur so classy. and i have posted many videos of me playing on youtube. why are you so immature.? i bet you'll reply to this cause u cant give it up.
@jhamblin23 i always speak for myself. i also dont get mad over random ppls posts. cause im not a drama starter. who are you and whre did u come from. ahaha u judged me from a comment i wrote to someone else. thanks prick. TRust me, Im a million times better than u. i dont need to prove it to anyone though. bye skank waad. keep replying i'll keep laughing at you/ lmao!! im a crazy bitch dont mess with me!
...this is off her DVD...the only DVD of these deals EVER (so far)...much speculation has been caused be certain lack of sync, here, and elsewhere....like what is really going on?...you are hereby invited to listen VERY CLOSELY...and add to all the speculation...
@712Stephen ...from the way she SOUNDS here...would YOU have released it like this?...or would you have "edited" it "further", if such "edited" and "further" were indeed involved in, or germane to the situation?..
Wonderful! I love her playing. Did anyone else notice that something catches her eye at about 19 seconds and she has a small smile? I wonder what it was.
she plays every single note as part of a melody that i'm not even able to hear, for how deep an huge it is. i can just try to catch it by a very week and poor intuition. that's sublime!
At first, I was wondering why she plays the right hand so loudly -- I thought the left hand was supposed to be more "highlighted". Apparently, though, all other pianists have done the same thing -- Richter, Pollini, etc. -- I suppose they know what they're doing ^_^ They certainly know far more about music than I do! =)
Thank you for this playing, VL, it's really quite magnificent, and so effortless for you!
I posted the following last year. I think it answers your doubts ..
How brilliantly intelligent this girl is!
She understands perfectly that here Chopin is transposing the bowing effect of violin playing to the piano, so the emphasis is on the sweep and clarity of the right hand - and so brilliantly executed.
Pollini just doesn't understand that this is NOT Op.25,12 and Richter just stomps around in the bass, trying to cover up the messy right hand ....
@24goodtimes7 Interesting insight! I'm going to approach this piece with that "bowing" effect in mind from now on. It makes perfect sense now that I think of it.
That insight about the bowing effect is not original me, but exponated by my cousin Ray Lev, a very great pianist whose career was ended by Senator McCarthy in the early 1950s. She actually played this piece starting with her right thumb on G, so avoiding the necessity of extended arpeggios. Necessity here being the mother of invention - her hands were very small, although she could play an octave between thumb and forefinger.
The astounding virtuoso of the times was Paganini ...
Fun trivia fact: Chopin dedicated the Op. 10 Etudes to his friend, Franz Liszt, who when presented with the manuscript promptly sat down and played them, at sight, so well that Chopin wrote in his diary "I want to steal from him the way he plays my studies". It is said that Liszt is the only pianist in history ever to have been able to sight read these studies - which are difficult enough for most pianists even after much practice.
@e4e5sf3sf6 It means to read the sheet music while playing at the appropriate speed. Almost too impressive to believe, honestly. Stuff like this isn't really meant to be sight-read.
@AlexAlcyone I don't know what kind of freak of nature you'd have to be to be able to sight-read these, but stories of Liszt doing it would have to be embellished... even for the great Liszt.
@TwelfthRoot2 The stories of Liszt sight reading complex scores (such as this one) are very numerous and likely not embellished. They come from many of the other composers of the day, some of whom criticized the *second* time he played the pieces because he started to add embellishments of his own!! He was a freak of nature. He apparently sight read not only the Grieg piano concerto from the hand written score but also a Grieg piece for violin AND piano, playing all three parts perfectly.
I CAN SIGHTREAD PRETTY WELL - I'VE SIGHT READ THIS AND PRETTY MUCH ALL PIANO MUSIC - NOW GETTING THINGS UP TO FULL SPEED IS ANOTHER MATTER ENTIRELY - CAN TAKE A LIFETIME TO DO THAT WITH SOME OF THESE PIECES - BUT IF ANYONE COULD DO IT AT FULL SPEED IT WOULD BE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME LISZT - I CAN ONLY BELIEVE IT IN HIS CASE - I ALSO READ THAT HE SIGHT READ THE GRIEG PIANO CONCERTO IN A-MINOR AT FIRST GLANCE - GRIEG'S ONLY CRITICISM WAS THAT HE PLAYED THE HARDEST PARTS TOO FAST
@chpnlzt To be honest though the Piano Concerto isn't that difficult of a piece, I played that as one of my audition pieces for college, not putting down Lizst in any manor of course. A lot of his pieces scare me at the moment.

A piece is a written, musical, or artistic creation or composition. Playing music doesn't mean you are right about musical terms.

@masterorionful Please take the stick out of your arse. People refer to pieces of music as 'songs' - just because the dictionary says that it's one thing doesn't mean that people can't use it as another. For example, you say 'here are a couple of definitions' - which is wrong by technical standards, but you use it and people comprehend you. To coin your phrase - speaking English doesn't mean you're right about English terms. Stick to your day job.

@masterorionful Sorry, I didn't read correctly last time - 'here are a couple of definitions', I thought you said something different. Nonetheless, I still stand by what I said last time: speaking English doesn't mean you are right about English terms. Anyway, as I was saying, the term 'song' is often informally applied to all types of music - it's just one of those things.

That's the whole point of an etude. Etudes are written to perfect a certain skill. In this case, runs.

At first, I was wondering why she plays the right hand so loudly -- I thought the left hand was supposed to be more "highlighted". Apparently, though, all other pianists have done the same thing -- Richter, Pollini, etc. -- I suppose they know what they're doing ^_^ They certainly know far more about music than I do! =)
Thank you for this playing, VL, it's really quite magnificent, and so effortless for you!

I posted the following last year. I think it answers your doubts ..
How brilliantly intelligent this girl is!
She understands perfectly that here Chopin is transposing the bowing effect of violin playing to the piano, so the emphasis is on the sweep and clarity of the right hand - and so brilliantly executed.
Pollini just doesn't understand that this is NOT Op.25,12 and Richter just stomps around in the bass, trying to cover up the messy right hand ....
Bravo, Valentina!
24goodtimes7 7 months ago
@24goodtimes7 Interesting insight! I'm going to approach this piece with that "bowing" effect in mind from now on. It makes perfect sense now that I think of it.
arcturian627 6 months ago
@arcturian627
That insight about the bowing effect is not original me, but exponated by my cousin Ray Lev, a very great pianist whose career was ended by Senator McCarthy in the early 1950s. She actually played this piece starting with her right thumb on G, so avoiding the necessity of extended arpeggios. Necessity here being the mother of invention - her hands were very small, although she could play an octave between thumb and forefinger.
The astounding virtuoso of the times was Paganini ...

Fun trivia fact: Chopin dedicated the Op. 10 Etudes to his friend, Franz Liszt, who when presented with the manuscript promptly sat down and played them, at sight, so well that Chopin wrote in his diary "I want to steal from him the way he plays my studies". It is said that Liszt is the only pianist in history ever to have been able to sight read these studies - which are difficult enough for most pianists even after much practice.

@e4e5sf3sf6 It means to read the sheet music while playing at the appropriate speed. Almost too impressive to believe, honestly. Stuff like this isn't really meant to be sight-read.

@AlexAlcyone I don't know what kind of freak of nature you'd have to be to be able to sight-read these, but stories of Liszt doing it would have to be embellished... even for the great Liszt.
TwelfthRoot2 6 months ago
@TwelfthRoot2 The stories of Liszt sight reading complex scores (such as this one) are very numerous and likely not embellished. They come from many of the other composers of the day, some of whom criticized the *second* time he played the pieces because he started to add embellishments of his own!! He was a freak of nature. He apparently sight read not only the Grieg piano concerto from the hand written score but also a Grieg piece for violin AND piano, playing all three parts perfectly.

@AlexAlcyone -
I CAN SIGHTREAD PRETTY WELL - I'VE SIGHT READ THIS AND PRETTY MUCH ALL PIANO MUSIC - NOW GETTING THINGS UP TO FULL SPEED IS ANOTHER MATTER ENTIRELY - CAN TAKE A LIFETIME TO DO THAT WITH SOME OF THESE PIECES - BUT IF ANYONE COULD DO IT AT FULL SPEED IT WOULD BE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME LISZT - I CAN ONLY BELIEVE IT IN HIS CASE - I ALSO READ THAT HE SIGHT READ THE GRIEG PIANO CONCERTO IN A-MINOR AT FIRST GLANCE - GRIEG'S ONLY CRITICISM WAS THAT HE PLAYED THE HARDEST PARTS TOO FAST

@chpnlzt To be honest though the Piano Concerto isn't that difficult of a piece, I played that as one of my audition pieces for college, not putting down Lizst in any manor of course. A lot of his pieces scare me at the moment.
