Psht! I could do this in my sleep. (While I'm dreaming)

[MarinaGasbey14]

Awesome technique! I play this piece too!

[JHighland1]

looks so challenging, this piece would take FOREVER to learn im sure.

[akocqwe]

The sound isn't that good but he is

[rapmaster]

I can play this adequately at 1/284 the speed.

[laugherluver]

*stands up to bows and then a cd player falls out of his jacket* haha just kidding but man you have got some skill i it took more than twenty minutes to learn that :)

[ohstanmoore]

Impressive, impressive talent.

[Valerio241059]

Molto noioso. Una spettacolare esibizione di autocontrollo, studio e tecnica, che lascia però del tutto freddo.

Va bene per "Scommettiamo che", ma non è musica il brano né arte l'esibizione.

[OAmus]

@Valerio241059 Debussy lui stesso ha detto che i etudi non sono per piacere o apprezzamento emozionale, ma per sfida tecnica.

Pero c'e' molto che possono fare con i contrasti di colori ecc.

In realta' questa esecuzione e' molto piu' vario e meno secco e maccanico di alcuni esecuzioni dei pianisti grandi che puo trovare nell youtube.

this iz crazy O_O

[redhairedevil]

this is technic not music

[vedym1n]

but still admirable, redhairdevil

[lstop1day9243]

@redhairedevil Are you kidding me? Even in his fucking etudes Debussy can make it sound emotional.

[MrPianist30]

your fingers think for themselves

[JMUdukesgirl]

holyness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dude u got some serious fast fingers that know where they gotta go!

[Laykou]

so this is the talent !

[mucchina87]

omg...do you really have to play this without using your thumbs????!!?!?!

I think I'd need a big big big big self-control!!!!!

[telephilia]

This piece is no piece of cake even using the thumbs. So habituated are pianists to using all 10 fingers that it takes a great deal of concentration to avoid "cheating."

[jannokas85]

The thumbs are so silly anyways...who needs them? Sean doesn't...he still plays well without 'em...

[foodiste]

i wish the sound on this recording was just a little clearer... beautiful performance though, really lovely.

[NeoComposer]

You did an excellent job!!!!

[Tone4Tony]

Wonderful virtuoso playing. This is what i call Debussy music

[Zebeldarebel]

What does the music look like!?

[Zebeldarebel]

Whoa thats neat!

[jdbrown371]

Very nice. More Debussy etudes please!
