the editing of the video at 1:18 is obvious--youtube users won't care but I'd think twice about using this for a school application! Just advice :)

[ljoekelsoey4]

hes not a professionla, give him a break, hes doing incredibly well to play it at all, doesnt matter how well for now, besides once you have it technically nailed, then you add in dynamics and shading.

[MrKipW]

Is your right hand okay? You never used it. KIDDING. I play some left-hand pieces myself, and enjoyed this convincing reading of the piece. To say I wish I could play this well might imply that I think I'm somewhere in the ballpark of being able to handle the Godowsky studies. I have the book, but it's just for reading! Thanks for posting this. Thumb up.

While some people argue that this should've been done in one take, I think it's fine how it is! This is a very hard piece to get down in one go. At least you did it all with your left hand and it sounds really good xP

@Marcelo721 That's like saying "I've created the best cake ever. No one eat it." Someone has to try it, right? Interpretations are made for a different look at things. If we were to all have this close-mindedness, we'd live in a horrible age, especially as far as the arts go.

And even if someone "distorts" their work, why should it matter!? It's not made for improvements (as far as sound goes) and maybe a greater complexity, but it's for a another set of etudes that are made to teach.

[Marcelo721]

Chopin must be crying in heaven, not only for our painful performances for over 160 years, but because "someone" it occurred distorting their work with a so-called improvements and greater complexity ... The reality is that the beauty of Chopin is that his works do not need any modification.

[jebsievers]

Wow you guys are, like, SOOOOOOOOOOOO smart at critiquing. OMG OMG OMG. And your repertoire of original music that you've written yourself is like, SOOOOOOOOOOO vast.

[Aul1kki]

@shnitzit I would say the same thing. Even though he have done this down quite nicely, there is still huge work to get it to a level when only making it to be a good piece of a music is the hard part.

[Nganguen]

Ceci est un exercice-mécanisme basé sur l'opus 25/12 de Chopin...assez avancé comme niveau! Très dramatique et superbe, merci Godowsky! Tu as réussi a faire revivre les oeuvres de Chopin.

[OrangeSodaKing]

It's okay for Youtube purposes that you used editing, but I agree about auditions.

Great performance! Still sounds very oceany with just one hand!

[NickyRamone77]

1:39 too

But despite that it's good. It's a very hard etude.

Godowsky a assassiné la beauté de Chopin,-bravo à la mafia pianistique de faire avaler de telles horreurs,au moins nous pouvons situer les vrais musiciens.
