Good performance! I also have to disagree with crazychic1990 about the tempo being slow. The French concert pianist, Idil Biret, recorded this piece in 2:52, and her performance was so musical. She won an award for her CD of the complete Etudes.
Thank you. I have never heard Idil playing Chopin's Etudes. As a matter of a fact, playing too fast might make you miss the beauty of the songs. And, moreover, Chopin's Etudes are much more than mechanics studies for pianists, they are deep, bright and sensitive stories proposed to the pianist. Thank you again for your comment. By the way, Idil is turkish I think, or at least born turkish.
Thank you for your kind comment, undoubtlessly, you're right, the conviction may be here, but it could be a little bit faster. And other point, unfortunately, my technic is not perfect, that's frustrating. Thank you again.
No, this interpretation does not have to be faster. I have heard recordings of this piece by respected concert pianists, such as Vlado Perlemuter, an authority on Chopin, and the timings were between 2:30 and 2:50. I feel too much speed turns this piece into a stunt, rather than a truly grand epic.
