yeah? listen to Earl Wild on the Complete Chopin Etudes, Chesky Records...then, find him doing it live...this is very good, but nothing compared to the wildman...
While many other pianist mainly try to manage to play this peace in a presto tempo, Nero makes some really interesting accents e.g. 0:26 ; even it`s not written in the scores like this. This playing pleasure is why i like his interpretation so much. thanks for posting
They are very different. I'd vote for this one because it gives both hands quite a workout and is very dramatic. And fun to work on and play! The 2nd one (op. 10, #2) is haunting and simply beautiful, but treacherous to play well. Argerich plays #2 as an encore sometimes (look for it here on YT).
op.10 no.2 might not be the smartest choice if you are unfamiliar with unconventional or otherwise inefficacious fingering. op.10 no.4 features some very useful quasi-improvisational devices and are purely formulaic, which means you could easily analyze and transcribe the "science" behind the maneuvers and apply them according to a tonality of your choice, while the fingering remains relatively unchanged. op.10 no.4, imho, is the PERFECT exercise. i warm-up with it EVERY morning
All his contemporaries at Julliard kept talking about some guy who had this fabulous, natural technique, but all he wanted to do was to play popular music...that was Peter.
Thanks for the post. That's pretty impressive, all right. Nero clearly knows and loves that piece. He could have had a classical career had he chose, that's evident. The audio portion seems a bit too "bright," but that's probably from him rehearsing in an empty hall. Well worth the listen.
Since this was a "warm up" session (practice) my guess is that he wasn't happy with the execution of that passage and repeated it. Note a similar stop-repeat-go at 1:23.

I found those accents senseless. I fully endorse creativity, but only when it actually sounds good.
demosj 2 years ago
Why did he randomly hit those accented notes at 0:26 anyway? I don't mind artists taking liberties, but they should at least make some sense.
It's still just a warm-up though, maybe it shouldn't be listened to as a serious interpretation.
demosj 2 years ago 4
the explication for this is simply that he didn't hit the e clearly and hit 2 times to "practise" it
just a correction of a mistake

This sounds "full" to me and I love the pacing. There is a feeling of remorseless mastery here. Really fine and natural, unforced playing.

He's "warming up," for God's sake! Whaddya want? The guy is brilliant, and has been for more than 40 years!!

This one is too slow...... Ritcher is way too fast.
Try Valentina Lisitsa's...... It's the one that's closest to this mentioned tempo [by Chopin himself!] here in YT... so far!
