freddy kempf - chopin, etude op. 10 no. 4

i want 2 play this song!
:'(
but it's soo hard!

people who think this is a song are normally not the right one to play this etude.

if u keep practising,sure u can!!!

You can say "i prefer richter version", but not "the best version is richter's". Well, you can, but learn respect first.

Sorry, ghee, what a PIANIST!
;)

Yeah, isn't he amazing? He plays with such intensity, and that is such a turn on to me. He really gets my blood flowing, and heart pumping. He is so damn hottt too. Ghee, what a guy.

how can people play like that? simple, its all a matter of muscle memory, songs are not snow flakes, there are many songs that are like each other in the way your fingers move, so the pianist will look at his music and say to himself, oh i know how this one looks because ive seen it in another song, so it all comes down to muscle memory.

Richter's version is SPED UP. How hard is it for people to understand?

Look at HIS body, and then look at Kempf's and Lisitsa's bodies. Valentina's and and Freddy's are moving NORMALY while their hands are moving fast, which is what it should look like, Richter's body moves unaturally fast.

It looks that way, but that's only because when Richter recorded the piece, the framerate on cameras was much lower than it is now, giving the appearance of unnaturally fast movement. Richter is perhaps one of the best pianists to ever live. His technique is absolutely impeccable. And while Mr. Kempf is quite talented, he is by no means the truly great pianist that Richter was.
