Kapustin's Etude No.1 Op.68 from '5 Etudes in Different Intervals' Audio + Sheet Music

[largolegato]

who else? The composer himself, I'm sure.

[L4RSLink]

Very original piece. I can't really imagine how the fingering for this piece would be. Seems like the hardest piece Kapustin composed! Anyone have idea what the main fingering would be for the right hand?

[XavierMacX]

@L4RSLink Lots of 5-4s, 4-3s, 3-2s, and 2-1s... lol

[Ricardojvc6]

This song is pure win. (Major and Minor 2nd's and augmented 4th's) for the win! xD

[skimask777]

The three Kings of music.... Elvis, Michael Jackson and Marc-Andre Hamelin

[masterofmetallica09]

@skimask777 Nah: Charles-Valentin Alkan, Marc-Andre Hamelin and Carl Tausig!

[skimask777]

@masterofmetallica09 At least we both agree with Marc-Andre Hamelin as one of the kings. But I did say the three kings OF MUSIC, not just classical pianist. But I understand how you feel!

[masterofmetallica09]

@skimask777 I'm not a classical pianist myself, I'm a metal/classical guitar player, who loves Jazz, Blues, Metal, well anything that actually takes talent. But I've got to say, out of all the artists who ever lived, these three (and Liszt ofcourse) really are the most impressive artists...

knit a piano cover!



[KawaiiBanana]

wtf is this!?

[SwePianoholic]

[ZachEatonMusic]

This is really awesome! I really enjoyed this -- it's ... enchanting! =D

[cedricrlongreen]

very innovative & interesting

[Brianzin]

At the speed his playing, I'll just bet he doesn't read the sheet at all.

[PublicLibraryx]

holycarpet

[AcePro]

This is pretty much the greatest thing ever.

[amusicalnutcase]

This is one of my favorites in his etudes. I need a bigger like button.

[TheWanderingNight]

Whose pies aren't Hamelin's fingers in? xD

[mackbox123]

insanely technical.a nightmare



[maxerdob]

well said , ''who else?''



[hayazi95]

A cat is chasing a mouse on this piano...?

[gerardbedecarter]

wow?

[ga199337]

When I havent read a description, I guessed this piece must be played by Hamelin, so I was right .

[telenatan]

Николай Гиршевич недосягаемый и неповторимый Гений музыкального Искусства !!!!

[Zebeldarebel]

I'm going to have nightmares of second intervals now. Thanks Kapustin/Hamelin.

[Ilike2tubeittubeit]

Hamelin is the shit !

[MagicDolphinGO]

i can't guess what interval this is based on

[LongDriveChamp03]

this takes chopin's wrong note etude and beats it to hell.

[CBasie2856]

Is Hamlin better than Art Tatum?

[rvn10rvn17]

@CBasie2856 they're different.. can't really compare a jazz and a classical pianist..

but technically, Hamelin is better so well, Hamelin is better..

[CBasie2856]

I wish Kapustin was better well known

[Dachion]

" An individual who plays the piano very well on his own accord but only after his true good big bang. "

[Dachion]

" The action is great yes, but behind it i suspect is a interdictoric sex god. "

[cerzule]

How does he play all those double notes in the right hand at this speed, and so cleanly?!?! I can't believe it ...

[crookedmelody1]

@cerzule oh that's because this isn't a real recording. this is actually a computer playing

[abmsghost]

@crookedmelody1 idiot!

[crookedmelody1]

@abmsghost I'm serious

[abmsghost]

@crookedmelody1 You mean Hamelin is a computer?

[crookedmelody1]

@abmsghost well...cyborg. jazz cyborg.

[mdeonx16]

I wish I could do anything as good as this

[Pianistiak]

Hamelin's technique is perfect (never had something bad to say about him cuz it's really not usual technique) and I really liked this etude too ;o

[morfingaunt]

i dont even know how this is physically possible to play at this speed...then again, it's hamelin, who remains a medical and musical mystery.

[massimiliano123123]

MERAVIGLIOSO E DIVERTENTISSIMO!! eeheheheh

[scudino]

bellissimo!!!..

[Snafuski]

I gues you just püractice the hiher note of the seconds, move your chair about 3 millimeters to the left, close your eyes and play...

....

....

You're welcome!

[dogrv91]

OMG!!!!!

[Starbirdy9999]

Novice Piano Player: This looks easy.

Other Guy: Who are you, anyway?

[Petoushkoff]

Errr... Is that wonderful piece playable within just ten fingers?

[Starbirdy9999]

Sounds like a cat and mouse chase.

[amusicalnutcase]

I love Kapustin's music. I can't ever listen to this one without smiling. Its like Kapustin meets Looney Tunes.

[LordSwordbreak]

one word: woah! :O

[LordSwordbreak]

@LordSwordbreak, and i though fantasie-impromptu was a beast..

[tomekkobialka]

@LordSwordbreak That's what most people say when they see my videos ;)

[felix0911176727]

Yeah, no one else...

[shubus]

Well, my mind is blown. Anybody got a fuse. Time for to give up piano & take up knitting.

[tomekkobialka]

@shubus What if it turns out that Hamelin is also a master at knitting!? What will you do then?!?!

[Malaka57]

@tomekkobialka hearing this he might very well be a master at knitting. I would go for "becoming a genius at making mistakes"

[coasterman16]

@tomekkobialka You strangle yourself with piano wire while stabbing yourself with knitting needles :P

[1212wolfgang1212]

@tomekkobialka I bet he is, that devious bastard...

[LiveTalkNow]

@tomekkobialka Commit Suicide.

[dsyglym]

hamelin has great technique :O!!

[framaulo]

My favourite in op 68 is the thirds/sixths one.. great MAH though

[dsyglym]

Wow !!! O.o non-human etude
