I love 0:58. Busoni is one of the older generation pianists I long most to hear more of, along with Anton Rubinstein. How cruel it is that recording was made possible so late in history!
Did you know that pianists with medium sized hands can stretch their hands for 10 degrees, not just 8 degrees (octave)? Did you know that some of Chopin's compositions included 9 and 10 degree chords...?
Oh legamature, tell me your mature wisdom! hahaha. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but your comment caught my attention and I found it funny. Octaves not in tempo?
Thanks for uploading this.

Chopin asked even Franz Liszt to please play only what was on the page.

Why did Chopin write those octaves at the end? Didn't he know that they are impossible to play in tempo?

Legamature, don't forget he dedicated these etudes to Franz Liszt;-)

@legamature I have a video of me doing them full speed, and so does Horowitz. They're not impossible to do as triplets. ;)
