Pollini plays Chopin Etude Op.10 No.12 'Revolutionary'

[Perprocrastinate]

There's sort of a metallic scraping sound at about 1:07. I wonder what it is.

[Perprocrastinate]

@Perprocrastinate It seems to be the vibration of the steel strings. Answered my own question.

[cjeffer220]

Truly a wonderful etude...been working on it for months, still not up to speed..! My left hand gets pretty stiff just thinking about that song though.....

[andrmour]

i´m afraid of asking how many notes does it has...

[Perprocrastinate]

@andrmour I estimate it to be around 1600 notes.

[cjeffer220]

@andrmour I counted about 370 notes JUST on the first page [I counted single chords as 1 note each].... and there's like 5 pages of it..... so I'm thinking around 2000 notes...

[KazukiKon1]

For me the best interpretation of Chopin etudes are from Pollini, i will try to make mine close to his'

[HmmIGuess]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[wibbitywee]

gosh i only needed to be a minute into it to know how incredibly he plays this etude. WAY better than any other ive heard.

[zdevol7]

Fantastické provedení- bravo Pollini!!! Díky .

[livelaughlove888100]

This is definitely the best version I've heard so far on Youtube. Amazing...

[TheEvilEmporerBunny]

2 minutes and 49 seconds ago, I thought I was pretty decent at the piano.

[lookarond]

@TheEvilEmporerBunny Yeah :D , ME TOO ;) .

[isayhi72]

Oh dear God. Would anyone happen to know what kind of piano he's playing on?

[alejandrothefader]

@isayhi72 either steinway or boisendorfer most probably!

[YouAllredyKno]

I'm a 24 year old hip hop producer... I have never heard any piece of music as stunning as this.

[arahavez08]

Who on earth disliked this? It's amazing stuff!

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

@arahavez08 someone who can't play this as good as Pollini :D (and jealous too)

[MasterThief1324]

@newFranzFerencLiszt A troll



[jelkica26]

@newFranzFerencLiszt nah! he missed like button

[Alexjr1543]

@arahavez08 Where did that dislike go?

[Jarnobh]

Pollini is my favourite pianist at the etudes of Chopin. He owns the others.

[aratisbug]

AMAZING, ive been looking all over youtube for a SINGLE good performance and finally IVE FOUND IT!!!

ps. who gave the one thumbs down??? obviously not a stable person.

[Dante121892]

I'm still practicing this musical piece!! HE IS WONDERFUL!!!

[EtrofOnaip]

Thanks for ALL your Work !!

[NjallPiano]

There's something about Pollinis rendition of the etudes that I prefer above all other versions I've heard so far.

[mutd12038]

amazing. i am speechless

[sttar1982]

OMG PERFECT®

[pinkpianosenpointe13]

I'm playing this for a competiton. It's difficult because of the speed! Luckily the notes are reasonably easy and it is very easy to learn:) Pollini's version is definitely VERY fast!

[gipsymustang]

@liuzhen2006 come on man. Practise and you will play it, this is not impossible, Scriabin etude 12, that is impossible, but this is quite real to play..

[ClassicalNNewAgeYo]

horowitz play better

[mc0558]

this piece is all about energy and pollini is on top of that throughout. Richter even more so.

[netedco]

it sounds familiar....

[gipsymustang]

quite hard etude, to play it right and fast without missing the notes. but still its not as hard as op25 no 12

[AZFMINOR]

@liuzhen2006 it's less hard than you think,it's just impressive ;-)

[alejandrothefader]

@AZFMINOR the etude in order to play it like pollini does or at least right is hard itself.... no.... it is very possible for @liuzhen2006 to play it if practiced but it is quite trublesome ;)

[newtun1234]

i was just speechless when i heard and saw the peace..

[aydangasimi]

fantastic!! I'm speechless. Pollini is for sure the best Chopin's Etude performer.

I think this version was used in the movie about Chopin, called Desire for Love.

[annasui804]

還有譜~真是太好了！超喜歡這首的^^



[altamira1981]

Bravo! Pollini at his best!

[S14V1KPV]

Can you please upload John Field's nocturnes again?

[squash1532]

[altamira1981]
