Wonderful performance, but it took you much longer than a month or two to master it. Be honest so people can get the true picture of approx. how much time they will have devote into learning this very difficult and rapid firey piece.

not that good....sounds like there's lack of emotion and aggressive in it. sounds like a fantasy to me.... plus there are a bunch wrong notes. you concentrate too much on the notes, try to understand the music first.fast doesn't mean you actually got the music. music is about express yourself, not just like a record, playing over and over again.slow down and work on the feeling and anger first. then you probably can speed up a little.
I don't know man, your logic seems kind of flawed from over here. Maybe you just don't practice music, but anyway.
You actually learn the notes first, then as you progress, you can further your 'understanding' on each piece.
Second, " music is about express yourself...". This statement should be key here. Expressing yourself. Or maybe you have some hidden recordings somewhere where the "true" expression of this piece can be heard? I'm sorry, but give the guy some credit, he did a great job.
God, if I could round up everyone who said "fast" isn't emotion and throw them into a pit of sulfuric acid, I would gladly do so.
Such bullshit. Just because you heard Another Brick In The Wall and shit your pants doesn't mean that Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever, and everyone else doesn't matter if they play faster.
i don't understand why ppl keep on criticizing.. not just on this video but with other musicians too..
you guyz are just merely trying to pretend to be a music-know-it-all..
you can only judge a musician if you can play it as well.. how can you know there's no emotion when you can't play? i agree sometimes you can hear it but gee.. lets give them a break
"you can only judge a musician if you can play it as well.. " that's only half true - being able to judge music depends on how well ones' ears can discern nuances it how it's rendered, which is a seperate (But related) skill from how well you can perform. It's like Simon Cowell: Is he the best singer on Earth? Probably not. But he can tell out of a croud of thouands who could be the best.
You would be surprised of the emotions that can be expressed in music by Bach. Glenn Gould for example played Bach pieces again and again, each time at the same rithm but with a different feeling: on time he made it sound sad, another time happy. The same piece!
I agree- take the Fugue (from the WTK bk 2)no.20 in a minor, which is quite intense and stately. But what I'm getting at is that Bach is metronomical,and, compared to Chopin, rather unromantic and this guy obviously does that well, so he should play more from that genre. -p.s I love Glenn Gould!- he plays the aforementioned fugue on you tube, so have a listen!
yes! every morning I listen to him in the last recording he did of them- great for setting my mind in order!- He plays them so fast and evenly, it sounds like a machine is doing it for him!
i agree! great shaping, but no dynamics whatsoever. i agree with you etude12, i think Bach or Baroque music would be more appropriate. work on the feeling of the song, not just the notes. (:
absoloutly wonderfull, you are a true talent, and to those who say the performance lacks emotion/passion you are so wrong! fact!
check out richter, for a really GREAT performance with the intensity and feel needed in this piece.
you must get angry to play some of the right hand parts in this piece, whilst delicate & gracefull through the quiet parts... this is Chopin! not a bach invention
keep playing to PERFECT this one, with that extra level of intensity!
Scrithe, try hitting notes on a wooden box and I'll bet my bottom dollar you'll never get a sound like this one. I think this "Asian" guy is playing great despite his youth. You wouldn't say that to a white guy, would you?
AllegroJoe: Yes, Asian people have souls and emotions, just like you do.
you cant put an age on what music one should be learning. Everyone is different, each has a different capability, and people's strengths vary between musicians. Also there is no specific age one learns to play the piano. So anyone could be at any level of progress at any given age. HOwever the chopin etudes should really be attempted at a post grade 8 level.
I can't shake the feeling that to a lot of you posters, passion = epileptic seizure whilst playing.
Music is purely to do with how something sounds. This should be the most obvious thing in the world.
If you're complaining about a lack of passion in the way it SOUNDS, then thats different... I personally think you CAN hear the variations in volume, etc, that lend emotion to the sound.
Here here I totally agree with you. This is no easy piece to play adn I should know . Been playing it for 50 years now adn it needs practice every day to keep the fingers supple and moving - other wise they dry up on you. Not Nice when that happens
Scrithe, you're a disgrace to man, turn in your penis. You hold the most ignorant view on this page! Though I would go as far to say that asian people have no souls anyway. That doesnt mean I dont love em though!
This is a very difficult piece to emote. I wonder if those who say he has no passion whatever, to rcord themselves playing it and put it on YouTube for others to see how it is to emote for such a piece.
a really hard piece to master, mad props for getting it down as well as he already has. although i do have to say, as a pianist, any kind of artistic interpretation usually helps, not just for the viewers, but it comes out in the music too. correcting mistakes comes first though. this is really really well done, harder than anything i've played, and i like to think i've played some fairly difficult stuff myself.
Scrithe, you are very good at piano and obiosely know a lot about it, but you can't just say this guy has no pashion. Learn every note of this song, learn to play it at 144 16th notes, play it as good as this guy, and be brave enough to post it on youtube before saying he has no pashion.
He obviously likes what he does ... He surely spent a lot of hours to play that piece , but that's the truth ,it needs more passion ! I'm 16 , i've started learning this etude , it's incredible, i love it!
I don't believe how Anyone can just look at someone and say they have no passion for what they're doing. That man spent many countless hours learning that piece. And surely it wasn't just for money. A person who makes music thier career Obviously has a passion for it. Jeez...how much more shallow can you get?
Wait, did you say this song is easier than it seems?? I definitely have to get it! I'm at the end of 11th. I did "Winter Wind" in 10th grade, and it practically killed me. I was wondering whether to get this song for 12th grade or wait a bit longer, but if you all say it's easier than it seems, I'm definitely getting it!
Definitely, the Revolutionary is a LOT easier than it seems. The winter wind is probably one of the worse ones o.O I'm sure you'd be fine with this one.
Lol, I've gone out and bought this piece, and now I'm learning it. It is indeed looking to be easier than it sounds. The only part I'm worried about is the few places with the 16th notes on the 8th-note triplets. I've always had a lot of trouble with those.
How old are you? I'm also a guy, 14, and I just started learning this song. It's good that I have an idea how this piece sounds like, so my learning will be easier.
GOOD JOB! True, your right hand needs work, but damn man, your left hand is awesome. keep it up, and u should be able to play etude op.24 no.12 (took me freaking like 3 months to learn that. lol. i give you a 8.5 out of 10.
Well, you definately have the speed of the left hand, but the right hand just isn't flowing like it should, it just doesn't seem dominant like its suppose to, but other than that an amazing performance with only a few errors.
i like this version very much....your techniques and expressions is perfect!!!
