Amazing - with those technical skills I can't think of anything you couldn't take on. Why don't you try Rachmaninovs Mendelsson and Liebsleid? - currently my absolute piano favorites.
of course with enough practising its possible to play it that fast. Hamelin, Libretta or Berezovsky could play it maybe in 40 sec. with no mistakes ;-) But they wont do it because although it has been known as the "Minute Waltz" Chopin did not intend for this waltz to be played in one minute. It was a nickname given by its publisher, meaning "short and small waltz".
I dont imagine who would give a dislike to this video. I like it, first time I've heard it that fast as well. I was wondering whether the beat was constant, but don't mind me saying that.
Finally, a musician who understands the real purpose of music - pure entertainment!!! Chopin's Minute Waltz is an average, dated, and rather tired piece (dont believe me? then look at the faces of any audience member watching a performance) but this is total FUN!!!! Excellent work :-) :-)
LOL@Pretentious classical musicians missing the point of this video.
Don't you guys have articles to write bashing perfectly acceptable performances for nobody to read? Yeah sure, there's 0 musicality here, but that doesn't mean that he's completely incapable of doing so in other works.
It's exactly this kind of behavior that makes me avoid social circles in my university music program. Grow the fuck up.
I don't see the problem, I think that's part of the fun, trying to be able to play it in a minute. To be able to play it like that with very few wrong notes is quite an achievement.
Are you sure it's minute ("mih-nut") as in time or minute ("mai-noot") as in small or short? There could be a difference there. Nice job, though, although a bit clinical and not too emotional, but for this purpose it's not very important.
@guybacos You mean stop defending myself against criticism? "sounds awful", "do a real challenge", "grow up"? .... notice I haven't actually insulted you in anyway.
Anyway, you seem to have something to prove here, taking this way too seriously, I did mine for the fun, but at least it has musicality..... despite without the repeat.
@guybacos at least it has musicality? That's why you mentioned in the description that you WOULDN'T play it that way at a recital? Yeah mine has little if any musicality, if you can play this musically in under a minute, you would be a serious BADASS!!
@guybacos yeah I did have something to prove: that I can play it decently under a minute WITHOUT LEAVING THE REPEAT LIKE YOU DID, and without a serious load of wrong notes like others have.
@guybacos Same reason you falsely advertised that you played this same piece under a minute while leaving out a whole section. Music is too subjective to debate, so I won't even address that.
@FredrikBergenholtz You apparently don't understand the point here!! I know this is musically horrible... it was a technical achievement and challenge... I would disagree on my first upload of this piece though, I think I did it justice... a somewhat balanced portrayal of musicality and technique.

This is funniest damn thing I've seen in a long time, esp the ending. (Of course everyone knows "minute" means small... not 60 seconds... right??)

It's not meant to be played under 1 minute. The original title means "Little Waltz" (Well, actually it was "Little Dog").
