The title of this post should be kinder. This man is not a failure. Anyone who devotes his life to art is far from a failure. Stage fright can be debilitating. It can cause sudden memory loss and self-sabotage of the most troubling degree. These traumatic incidents tend to reinforce the fear, and the problem self-perpetuates. I know. I have been there, at the very highest level. I hope this young man took some time off then worked his way through it.
@paddyswok I completly agree with you. But you know how it is, this youtuber wouldnt have gotten your veiw if the name hadnt sparked some interest in you.
@McRat youre just full of anger toward black people, and you want to stay angry and miserable. You label rap as ghetto trash, wen the vast majority of classical has been forgotten because most of it is outdated trash. All that is left is Chopin Mozart Beethoven etc. MA Hamelin said himself a majority of whats not played is trash. Real music is defined by the impact it leaves on a person
I'm not full of anger towards black people--or towards anyone else, for that matter.
I simply state what is true--and you can't handle that fact because you're uneducated and you have no leg to stand on in an intelligent debate. (So, instead of acknowledging that fact, you choose to, instead, label me racist. Which, like everything else you've said from the beginning, is wrong.)
@McRat1968 the fool sees himself wise in his own eyes! of course you feel youre right! any man with an ounce of self confidence can feel justified in his argument. the common denominator among all racists is THEY THINK THEIR RACIAL OPINIONS ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH FACT. your education means next to nothing if you dont own anything. educated people with degrees are homeless because of downsizing. you most likely are a bitter unaccomplished pessimistic pianist, seeing only the negatives of reality.
i just bombed my recital the other night. i played fantasie impromptu, and i tell, my technique was fine. i must have played it literally 100 times before i went on stage. i wasnt nervous one bit, what was wrong was my bench was too low. i tried adjusting it for a few seconds but felt like i was holding up the show, and went for it. i got played all the way through but i did manage to bomb like this just at the chromatic build up. but he should have kept going. better to finish than walk off
Aww I know how he feels, this is the same thing that happened to me during my concert, where I just froze. I actually quit playing piano because this but I still listen to others play.
@mrPalistov He plays the opening sequence too many times; he instead of playing four groupings of sixteenth notes he plays six, which I guess threw him off. He was clearly nervous, but c'est la vie
Not mad at all. Simply stating facts--which you apparently lack the intelligence to comprehend or to admit.
It seems that you, also, know nothing about the video-in-question, nor could you name what the competitor was about to play (which is not a "song"), or why he was rung up by the judges in the end.
Classical Music is my world; my heritage.
You, like your buddy "2pacAmazesSuperman," must be rap-lovers (and, thereby, possibly former cell mates as well.)
You honestly think listening to rap makes someone a criminal or unemployed? get a fucking life.
it's the 21st century, i cant believe we still have to put up with people like you. It's called having an open mind. appreciating things that are different, because they are different. Of course why am i bothering explaining this to you? You 're still caught up in prejudices, your mind is clearly a slower processor than the rest of the worlds...
Wrong again! Never once did I say listening to crap MAKES someone a criminal or unemployed.
(Get your facts straight.)
I said, those who LISTEN to that garbage are, for the most part, the dreggs of society who ARE criminals and/or who are unemployed bums of society: uneducated bums who hang around on street corners and kill each other in drive-by shootings and rob liquor stores and rape women, etc. (And those are facts, which you cannot disprove no matter what you say.)
@McRat1968 michael phelps likes young jeezy. he said his songs give him motivation. hes an olympic gold medalist if you havent heard. isnt that what music is about? inspiration? you get down on rap but i think honestly some of the most sinister music ive heard has been by rachmaninoff and liszt. chopin also has alot of dark music. you cant take a whole genre of music and call it trash, and you cant call a whole culture of people dreggs. the worst criminals are the ones in suits that you vote for
And you're full of s**t. Classical composers wrote real music.
(C)rap is not music. It's brainless ghetto trash glorifying the abuse of women and robbing corner stores and dealing/using drugs.
That's the life that its "stars" and their fans lead.
Every time I read in the news about them blowing each other away in drive-by shootings or being killed by police, I smile--because the only good rapper is a dead rapper.
@2pacAmazesSuperman Implying that you have to be able to do something in order to judge/insult it? Since I'm a horn player, I can't say that I completely agree that this is a massive fail on the pianists part? Also spelling?
@danshapiro9 thank you danshapiro9!! I hate it when these people come on here and shout down anyone who attempts to criticise the goings on in these musically themed youtube uploads. there are people who make a living out of critiquing the work of others - not because they think they can do better, but because they want to offer an evaluation that will allow things to improve and develop
@DarkLatias810 - No the "Winterwind" is certainly not the hardest, but one of the showiest. Possibly, it looks the most difficult. As you say "if you can play thirds fast enough" - well, yes, THAT is exactly what makes it the most difficult!!! Thirds are so difficult to play, and only a few people have a natural ability for them. That's why "Feux follets" is also the hardest Liszt etude!
Happened to me in my competition too... I actually don't hate competitions. They do require the most musical knowledge and technical endurance. If you're short on either or both... too bad there's others more prepared than you. I do feel sorry for the guy but that's life. No one should ever take it too hard on themselves if they fail at a competition but respect those that make it. I certainly do. Tchaikovshy Competition has produced some of the greatest pianists alive period
Everyone makes mistakes! You have to be an awesome pianist to even get in this competition - and this etude is the MOST difficult of all the Chopin etudes.
@polyfonix certainly not the most difficult if you can play thirds fast enough. i'd say the hardest was op 25 no 11. but i'll agree this is ONE of the hardest but definitely not the HARDEST of all the chopin etudes
Oh, God. I know the feeling. You just freeze up and the music you've spent freakin' weeks memorizing just goes blank. This poor guy must have drank himself silly afterwards D:
Last week I had a perform too.. He can't finish only one song.. I play 4songs in a roll, 4 of these songs, only played for like 10 - 20secs... I guess he had the same feeling like my feeling, hands and legs are shaking.. ><
En ves de tomar esto negativamente, mejor veamoslo como una lección, no hay que memorizar solo con la mano, también hay que estar consciente de cada nota. Es difícil, lo sé, pero para ser pianista no solo hay que ser humano, hay que ser algo mas.
i have seen this happen at alot of competitions, the problem is that at home your playing it automatically without even thinking about it. But that's exactly the problem, the best way to avoid something like this is by looking at every part your playing while focusing on exactly which notes in what order your playing.
I guess, he could play it perfectly... But on stage you sometimes forget the whoel piece... I think, after leaving the stage, he remembered the whole piece.
I tried doing something like this for a talent show at school and i screwed up so bad that i ran off stage in tears. it was infront of the whole school. he didn't have it very well off either but he still left off the stage with his composure just not his pride.
That same thing happened to me during my competition. Once you fail the first time, you don't even want to start again, but you just do it anyways but your to caught up with your emotions. The second time I started, I felt as if I gave up and I didn't even want to do it anymore.
This young man is very good nonetheless and I hope he was not discouraged by this mishap. I have taken piano lessons for years and I could not even play the first two bars of this dreadful piece.
How awful.... I'd never want to be in such a position.
There really are some horrible moments when our minds play bad tricks on us and, should we not evade them in any way we can, then... this is what happens...
That's quite unfair, considering the hours of practice we have devoted on a piece!(
My heart aches for this young man. I don't know what his education has been, but I hope someone works with him and shows him how to endure and continue through difficult moments. I hope he won't give up on music.
@organman52 Like what @ludwigvan said, freezing doesn't mean the piece was beyond his ability. He wouldn't have chosen that piece if he couldn't play it confidently. But freezing happens.
@pipillotta what's that new Batman quote... "if you wish to become more than a man.. if you devote yourself to an ideal... then you become something else entirely. a PIANIST, master wayne, a PIANIST.."
@pipillotta very true and above all, music isnt about competition, I personalty dont like competitions at all if pianists would be extremely competitive and would use music as a weapon. You brought up a good point
This happened to me at a state competition playing Schumann's Piano Concerto. I had just finished the cadenza and the adrenaline was making me play better than I ever had, until suddenly.... I blanked. It sucks, but it happens, and you can only get better.
The only thing worse than this happening is the thought of someone inventing the technology for it to be replayed repeatedly, worldwide, decades after the fact. Poor guy.
Everyone has what performers call stage fright... Even the most experience performer will have stage fright in any performance.. The only variable is how much can the performer take..
I am sure he played it a thousand times perfectly in practice. The pressure of the performance can be brutal. No doubt that was a very bad moment for him.
i feel so sorry for him! this would be my worst nightmare. I mean it's happened to me in a piano competition, but my competition was really small and not all that important.
I hope this asian dude didn't attempt suicide after this.
This doesn't necessarily reflect his music ability so much as it just illustrates that he messed up.... there is a lot of brain activity involved in playing music; sometimes the brain 'skips a beat' in a sense, and this happens even to the best musicians. I really hope he didn't let this discourage him....
It's a terrible feeling. I did that in a concerto competition when I was sixteen. My accompanist tried to keep me going, but it just didn't connect in my head. One of the juges left the concert hall to come out and hug me because he had heard me play it through and knew that I knew it well.

This young man is very good nonetheless and I hope he was not discouraged by this mishap. I have taken piano lessons for years and I could not even play the first two bars of this dreadful piece.

Chopin Etude Op 25 No.6. An extremely nasty piece. Only person I've seen playing it perfectly is Valentina Lisitsa.

How awful.... I'd never want to be in such a position.
There really are some horrible moments when our minds play bad tricks on us and, should we not evade them in any way we can, then... this is what happens...
That's quite unfair, considering the hours of practice we have devoted on a piece!(

My heart aches for this young man. I don't know what his education has been, but I hope someone works with him and shows him how to endure and continue through difficult moments. I hope he won't give up on music.

The problem is simple - instrumentalist [and vocalists] should not attempt music that is beyond their ability. Ever.

@organman52 Wasn't beyond his ability. He just froze up.
ludwigvan17 7 months ago
@organman52 Like what @ludwigvan said, freezing doesn't mean the piece was beyond his ability. He wouldn't have chosen that piece if he couldn't play it confidently. But freezing happens.

@pipillotta very true and above all, music isnt about competition, I personalty dont like competitions at all if pianists would be extremely competitive and would use music as a weapon. You brought up a good point

This happened to me at a state competition playing Schumann's Piano Concerto. I had just finished the cadenza and the adrenaline was making me play better than I ever had, until suddenly.... I blanked. It sucks, but it happens, and you can only get better.

The only thing worse than this happening is the thought of someone inventing the technology for it to be replayed repeatedly, worldwide, decades after the fact. Poor guy.

Everyone has what performers call stage fright... Even the most experience performer will have stage fright in any performance.. The only variable is how much can the performer take..

I am sure he played it a thousand times perfectly in practice. The pressure of the performance can be brutal. No doubt that was a very bad moment for him.

This doesn't necessarily reflect his music ability so much as it just illustrates that he messed up.... there is a lot of brain activity involved in playing music; sometimes the brain 'skips a beat' in a sense, and this happens even to the best musicians. I really hope he didn't let this discourage him....

It's a terrible feeling. I did that in a concerto competition when I was sixteen. My accompanist tried to keep me going, but it just didn't connect in my head. One of the juges left the concert hall to come out and hug me because he had heard me play it through and knew that I knew it well.

Painful to watch! His problem was in the left hand; he seemed to be handling the thirds (the hard part) fine.
